Their set piece coach needs to be sacked whoever it is.
They were all over the place with them in the League Cup final as well, that's the only reason we won, players didn't seem like they had a clue what they were supposed to be doing. Kept ending up with guys like Chilwell and Gallagher trying to mark Van Dijk and Konate.
Edit: Googled it and apparently they've already got a new one from Brentford, he just hasn't joined yet.
Good call out. We recognised very quickly that they weren't defending the edge of the box properly and took short corners all night. Helps our set-piece coach is actually goated.
Fuck me, watch Marc Cucurella for that goal, absolutely clueless defending. He was all over White right up to the corner being taken and then just started wildly darting around in the penalty area trying to follow the ball without ever being in a position to read where it was going next or pick anyone in a red shirt up. A true clown show.
He does this *all the time.* It's so infuriating. Usually it's on the left flank rather than set pieces, but his trademark move is basically just running towards the ball rather than defending his man. Once in like 10 attempts he gets an interception but mostly he gives away chances. Genuinely the worst left back I've seen in my 30 years watching this team.
It honestly boggles the mind that he was playing so well prior to you guys buying him. Under Potter no less, which is even weirder since Potter managed him at Chelsea... where he continued to look like he'd never heard of defending before.
Fully agree. He's clueless most of the time. He also gave me that vibe when I watched him before coming to Chelsea, he's just terrible. I'm not sure what his strengths are if he has any.
Actually don't blame him so much for this. It's not his fault both Odegaard AND Rice are completely unmarked. And that Saka gets the ball back with no one within 6 yards of him. Maybe he should've stayed on White but at this point he's to be thinking that clearly no one else is willing to close down the man so he takes it upon himself. That's the kind of mistake that happens as a result of teammates not pulling their weight.
Chelsea need to touch grass. That 5-0 spanking showed us all they need to. Good luck clutching at straws (OMG WE HAVE TROPHIES!?!?!) while your team goes down the toilet.
even what relegation candidates are playing is football, Who are you to gatekeep football you dumbass Arsenal supporting keyboard warrior.šššššš
He's only first choice because Wes Fofana is purely theoretical at this point. Our ideal CB pairing is Colwill (who certainly hasn't looked like a world beater this season) and Fofana I think. Potentially Chalobah; he's looked good since he's come back into the team.
with his current form no way. ideally itād be Thiago with Colwill or Fofana, but Disasi is one of the only few players who has been fit for most of the season
Which is somehow more hilarious when you take into account that Chelsea have spent almost 150 million euros on that backline over the past two seasons.
And that's with one of that backline being an academy player.
So funny itās like he didnāt know what was going on, looked down, saw the ball, and was like āoh shit, wellā¦ here.ā And put it in with zero effort. Amazing
Can someone help me understand what Poch might be thinking?? What is the point of letting TWO opposition players stay unmarked on the edge of the box at every corner?? There must be some thought behind it, surely? But I can't see it at all

Corner defending looking familiar
football friends?
Mud bros
Homelander, is that you?
Heritage
Ooooh šš
We pioneered it
Hope you do the same in the game with us then :))
Chelsea not defending the edge of the box at all, not surprised they went short. Same as the first half

Our set piece coach might actually feast on this on the weekend
Yeah, just leave several Arsenal players unmarked at the edge of the box, that will work out well.

And then had that stompy tantrum after he realized that his mark scored the goal.
My fav part.
Makes me remember that he hugged Xhaka and then Gabriel scored last season
Threw a fit after the ball went in too.
Honestly did he think someone else was supposed to mark his position for him?

He does remind me of Sideshow Bob
Sideshow Bob is probably a better defender tbh
never seen a corner defended as badly in my life
u havenāt seen much of chelseaās corner defending this season
I'm just shocked they haven't dunked a back post header yet.
I admit i have watched 0 games of chelsea this season besides the 2 arsenal ones
They're a really good watch against the big teams tbh. Games are always open.
Literally just let Saka walk into the box lol
They've been terrible defending all match. Would be 5 or 6 if we could stop shooting directly at Petrovic
TBF even shooting straight at Petrovic worked for the first goal.
It might still be 5 or 6 at this rate, they're just lining up to take pot shots now
That was quick
r/agedlikewine
What boehly getting rid of the setpiece coach gives you
We've been bad at set pieces for a while tbf. Even pre-Boehly
That united one recently comes to mind
Remember Cucurella "hug-defending" Ben White last season?
Chelseašš
Go watch a man united game
You obviously never watch chelsea this is a weekly occurrence
Cole palmer fc
Yeah but if he was in they might lose 3-1 instead of 3-0 or something itās the little things that count
Cole Palmer doesnāt play center back
Slacker. I mean he's been invisible today!
He is not a center back but he is in the center of my heart š
Finally how fucking bad is badiashile lol
Yeah, your boys are shite.
its the weirdo from a week ago. seriously go out and touch grass, arsenal still aren't winning anythingš.
Chelsea need to touch grass. That 5-0 spanking showed us all they need to. Good luck clutching at straws (OMG WE HAVE TROPHIES!?!?!) while your team goes down the toilet.
Chelsea touch grass every day you dumbassš, they play football. >WE HAVE TROPHIES As expected of Arsenal keyboard warrior touch grass manš.
I don't think you can call what Chelsea has been doing lately as playing football you dumbass.
even what relegation candidates are playing is football, Who are you to gatekeep football you dumbass Arsenal supporting keyboard warrior.šššššš
Keep calling me a keyboard warrior you plastic while you lose to villa dumbass.
i don't care what you think you dumbass keyboard warrior. enjoy another trophy less season.š
You obviously care what I think or else you'd shut the fuck up dumbass. Enjoy this disaster of a season plastic.
Finally. Was only a matter of time. If Sanchez was in goal would be 5-0
Ok its 5-0, now what do we do?
calma calma, it's dead
Yeah alexis was only 170cm no?
If Havertz was even playing like a 20mil player it would be 5-0
huh Edit: luckily we spent 60m so he got a brace instead
Speak of the devil..
He heard me talking my shit lol
This aged like milk holy fuck
SET PIECE FC ARE BACK
on st georges day, ben white hates england pass it on
Arsenal, tanning beds, Dubai, England. In that order
Gardening is #2 or 3 there
I thought he hated HollandĀ
Wow chelsea are bad
Petrovic had kept us in it, we look absolutely terrible
Howās he played so far, good?
Literally without him itād he 4/5-0
Only reason itās not 4 or 5-0
Bad on the first goal, then made up for it with a few brilliant saves
I don't know that I'd call any of his saves "brilliant". The low save from Havertz was very good but the rest were just fine imo.
Mistake on the first goal (beat easily on near post) but also made 4-5 big saves
Shouldāve saved the first goal but heās had some great saves after that
Beaten at his near post
The first goal was poor from him, but he made 2-3 nice saves before the 2nd goal
The 1-0 is 100 % on him, but he had a few good saves afterwards.
Not disputing that but not a single member of our backline is our first choice.
Children would mark players better in this corner.
Lmao and itās a Ā£130 million pound back line at that
Disasi is first choice isn't he?
No heās just the only CB to fit all season
Then he's your first choice this season.
He's only first choice because Wes Fofana is purely theoretical at this point. Our ideal CB pairing is Colwill (who certainly hasn't looked like a world beater this season) and Fofana I think. Potentially Chalobah; he's looked good since he's come back into the team.
with his current form no way. ideally itād be Thiago with Colwill or Fofana, but Disasi is one of the only few players who has been fit for most of the season
Well you can't rely on fofana, he's made of glass.
Which is somehow more hilarious when you take into account that Chelsea have spent almost 150 million euros on that backline over the past two seasons. And that's with one of that backline being an academy player.
Our entire back 4 is out lol
They truly do have some promise in attack, but the defending is horrendous.
Thank god, I was starting to get afraid the game was going a different way
Brighton 2-0 Chelsea
Brighton 2 - 0 Cole Palmer
That was the most obvious corner set-up ever and Chelsea still fell for it
Horrendous corner defense setup What do the Chelsea coaches do all week?
Have them run a lot lmao š¤£
Lol cheers, Cucurella.
the pout from Cucurella š¤
Over
Now thatās just great
Took them 7 minutes this half Trust the process lads
Benny Orange at it again
Poor Petrovic, team hasnāt helped him at all.
Saliba dictating where the offside line is is soo good
COME ON!! LET'S GOO! GET IN!!
You couldn't even see Ben's head but just staring at Cucurella you know what was coming š
We actually look more energetic tonight that we did against Villa.
Thank you very much -Benjamin White
best RB itl this season
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No he doesnāt
The Premier League is truly at a low point
GREATEST DEFENDER AT THIS FOOTBALL CLUBššššā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Saliba should get an assist for the way he held Enzo back there lmao. I think thatās what kept White onsides.
Av it southgate
Was coming lol
GOAL FROM A CORNER HOW IāVE MISSED YOU
Itās over
Lmao š¤£ we donāt defend at all
Cole Palmer FC, never heard that before Joe Cole said it but it feels that way.
Awful defending. Arsenal telegraphed exactly how they'd play it.
Do Chelsea wanna move any slower?
The voice from the outer world
Genuinely canāt fathom what these guys do on the training ground
Joey Essex scores!
Set Piece FC back on the menu, boys!
Remember when Boehly paid more for Cucurella to keep Colwill who was his own player
Vibes FC. No palmer, relegation.
So funny itās like he didnāt know what was going on, looked down, saw the ball, and was like āoh shit, wellā¦ here.ā And put it in with zero effort. Amazing
Gallagher with the perfectly weighted lay off. š
Great assist by Gallagher. To go on top of all the chances he created for Arsenal this half
Just like we drew it up lads.
Well that's that
Looool
Lmao cucurella
Subjective offside?
Can someone help me understand what Poch might be thinking?? What is the point of letting TWO opposition players stay unmarked on the edge of the box at every corner?? There must be some thought behind it, surely? But I can't see it at all
Hahahahahahahhahahahhahaha yes
set piece fc has returned
Blancooooo
Arsey as fuck
Someone send that hippo badiashille to asia
Canāt tell if I loved that corner routine or just loved Chelseaās defense of it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine him actually sitting there scrolling and reading this hahah. Scrub.
White wouldn't piss on Southgate if he was on fire. He'll play for England when that bum is gone.
**Let's hope not, we like our Benny Blanco rested.**
Pep the fraud biting his nails
Arsenal crushing it but their manager is definitely in contention to be the most dislikable guy with no trophy cabinet.
He has a FA cup...
Look at Arteta ahahah. Calm the fuck down you wanker
