Xhaka has taken 3 corners now and is yet to reach the 6 yard box. Maybe in the 2nd half.....??

Dunno what it is but Conte just cannot set up against any shower Wenger puts up. His best team he can muster struggles against this rag tag mob of ours.

Btw has Wenger offered/insisted that he gets called up for the VAR assessments??
No his third was right on mustafis head and 6 yards out should have at least hit the target.
Oh I'm sorry ...so 1 out of 4...much better.
You're welcome.

I’m surprised Chelsea are playing so poorly
Conte cannot set up against Wenger...his team basically gets cancelled out...And he doesn't learn any lessons either.

Watching Xhaka line up to take a corner or free kick reminds me of Kane during Euro 2016 - if its not cleared at ankle height it clears the entire team. The bloke has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever - can't tackle, can't pass, slow as a half dead slug. 30m for a piece of shit like that - criminal

We are doing ok i guess without much goal threat, if any....probably due to Chelsea looking average as well

Ainsley Maitland-Niles doing ok he looks a decent player this lad......

I had a little hope for Lacazette when he came,now I'm massively under-wealmed with him to be honest,
and as for Welbeck.....what can you say.

Says a lot when you want to see Giroud playing

He's a number 10...usually an attacking midfielder...now relegated to left back by The One Who Knows.

Morata is so crap...how did Wenger not snap him up for 60m or more?? He would fit right in...back up for Welbeck.

For Christ’s sake why don’t they put their foot through the ball and clear it. Same old tippy tippy football.
