As soon as scum get around the back, it's odds on for a good chance at goal.

Shocking tracking back and organisation from chelsea.

When they retreat no one seems to know where they should be or what they should be doing.

So arsenal all they do is cutback the ball.. Trippier to Erikssen would have a field day against this Chelscum defence.

I like the idea of fact that Emery is clapping. Acknowledging the good football should be the focus, not the misses.

This may be some of the worst defending from any team that I've seen for quite a while from Chelsea, when you consider the clear chances that Arsenal have repeatedly gotten. Could easily and with no exaggeration had 5 in this first half.

That's the third exact same chance they have been given after getting round the back and pulling it back into the pen spot - all 3 times someone has had the ball in acres of space with an open goal in front of them.

Totally shocking.

No real surprise seeing Chelsea conceding this many chances.

Anyone who watched Sarri's Napoli would know that their philosophy was heavily focused on attacking. It just wasn't exposed as Serie A isn't a league where the goals flow.

In the CL they conceded 11 goals in the group stage, then went out at the first hurdle in the Europa after conceding 3 to RB Leipzig at home.

Of course they'll get away with it against most bottom half PL teams, but this will happen more often than people think.
