Who are the culprits?
Let's look at today, I can only see Willian and Hazard who's attitude could be questioned
Kepa - difficult to read but his body language looks positive
Dave - poor and average today but his heart seems in the right place
Rudiger - positive attitude, wants to win
Luiz - great today, attitude always positive and wants to win
Alonso - struggles as a left back, especially when he gets FA cover from willian and Hazard, at least Pedro tries to help
Kovacic - kind of like him but his shooting is terrible
Jorginho - wasteman, what does he F. Do? He can do one for all I care and he was garbage in the first half but looked like he got stuck in when the second half came. Still poor though
Kante - played out of position. FU Sarri. Sort it out
Hazard - doesn't like playing as the lone man up top, I feel for him and he carries this average Chelsea team but still, come on mate, at least look like you're interested
Willian - just F. Do one mate, I was a big fan of you but you clearly have an issue so whatever it is either sort it out or just go
Pedro - his lower body doesn't connect well with his head but at least he tries
I still don't think we'll get top 4 and it all hangs on higuain and that is one of the problems but the midfield in this team isn't great and I think that's down to Jorginho and Sarris style of play and that ain't changing anytime soon. So....
Who do you think will be our manager in June and what options are out there at the moment?
But serious question, does anyone think we're doing well and why? Because I've seen alot of games this year and these problems have been there the whole time, it's just in recent weeks and months that the initial honeymoon period has finished that it's come to this
Weak mentality...

Biggest mistake was moving the best holding midfielder in the world to a RCM, seems like atm he’s shoe hiring jorginho at the detriment of kante, think you sort that out it goes along way to sorting out the issues

This is why I don't think Sarri will last, easily 2 of the best players at the club playing out of position maybe to push the club to buy a striker and it's messing the team about.. again

That would make sense if he was a holding midfielder in the first place.

Both teams were hungry to win, but in the first half Arsenal looked the more hungry, and it showed that the 3 points meant more to them then us in the current table situation.
The second goal was from a free kick that should not have been. Alonso did clearly get the ball. Sometimes fortune comes to us, and others it doesn't.
In the earlier fixture Arsenal missed a bunch of chances, even a sitter as I remember. This time they took their opportunities. We hit the post twice.
I agree Brum's point about Sarri's inability to use our younger player options as a clear misjudgment. But he is on the spot and will face the consequences of his decisions.
I think we will be up there in the battle for top four. We have every chance of succeeding, it will be a great battle and we will be in it. Thats enough to keep me interested and hopeful.
