Awful starting formation and players, cheers Ole. If he had a set of bollox and started with some of the attackers that we finished the game with (well on top) maybe we’d have got it won.

This I'm afraid ^

Mendy is the best goalkeeper in the league though.

DDG wasn’t even needed

How much did Chelsea spend on a new shiny attack again!?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just said on another thread that I keep expecting Chelsea'a forwards to click and hit someone for 5 or 6 but nothing yet!

Ole fecked up the starting line up, pure and simple.

Two of the worst defences serving up a damp squib
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed. The defences did what they are meant to do.

Ole needs to sub himself off.

This game we were better than against PSG. Just had no luck in front of goal.

Plump, cannot disagree with the starting line up comment

They well and truly parked the bus. Though tbf we didn't show much interest in breaking it down.

Pathetic football from both teams. Why did neither truly go for it? Awful game. Awful mentality.

We should have won that easily, if we’d played like we did Tuesday. So slow and not bothered at all

Not the worst performance or result.

Chelsea did not seem interesting in anything other than a 0-0. Did DDG do anything?

If you are just going to sit and let games drift you don't deserve anything from it.

McT and Fred diabolical on the ball. No connection between defence and attack and unable to work the ball through the lines. Obviously they will work hard off the ball.

Ole is a defensive minded manager at times tbh

If Kepa played we would have won that 4-0.

Terrible game...

To play devil's advocate, our last home game we lost 6-1, so that would have played a part in today's decisions and formation...

but still a terrible game

And our home form really is dreadful

I think Chelsea probably had an 8-1-1 formation for 90 minutes today. Even Mourinho wasn’t this defensive when he used to bring Chelsea here.

Ole set us up not to lose rather than win, we're at home ffs and not won in 4 games there, now 5!

Moreso today before of the scar left by Jose

We missed a lot of chances this season already at OT. Seems cursed after all the goals end of last season.

Didn't watch all the game but what I did watch we seemed to be in control and just need to get our play in the final third right


Cavani made runs into the box , something thats been missing in our game. He was heavily marked though and needed someone else following up

Pogba played nice football when he came on.

Yeah that's one way of putting it

We should be going for wins regardless

Yup, and after playing so well against PSG we go and set up like that?

Dissapointed with that attitude

Oh, and "Ffs James"

That does look to have scarred Ole a bit.

This should have been the approach we took when our players looked short of match fitness. We've got to be a bit more adventurous now though.
