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.

To be fair they were going all in on the league, everything else was an afterthought and it showed in their commitment in most of those games.

Why are they playing Kante that far up the pitch? Yeah he’s a good player on the ball but he’s a beast of a DM. Madness

Watching Kovacic warming up for Chelsea is just plain wrong ?

Arsenal's play out from the back is scary.

No wonder their fans were cheering when Cech kicked the ball last week.

Beginning to think Ozil has got a bit of the Danny Roses about him irt to his emotional make up.

Always seems to be a cloud over him.

Arsenal are a proper clown college, right down to Sideshow Bob in the midfield.
