To be honest Chelsea has had most of the chances in this Mind series friendly, most of them caused by mistakes in the Arsenal defence to be fair.

But the referee has hardly done us any favours and the most blatant was this excellent goal by Joe Willock, who only came on for the last 30 minutes. He blasted the ball against the bar and it clearly bounced behind the goal but was unseen by the man with the whistle….

It would have been the equaliser, but hey ho, we can enjoy the shot though!

  1. I only wish arsenal will sign Lyon duo
    Bruno gu… and auoar arsenal will surely improve (a lot )

  2. For over a year on Arteta is yet to fix the Arsenal’s prone errors at the back which has caused them a European slot last term. Again they are at it this season. Is something not wrong with his system ? If is to succeed this season he has to do something about fixing the problems of his defense and probably midfield as to Elnany and goalkeeper Eno.

    1. Why did he play bellerin ? Why ? This guy should be bench now. Artera risks lowering his value. Hopefully he will be gone in a few weeks….

  3. The refereeing was as poor as possible. We didn’t play well admittedly, but Mariner made Chelsea have a one man advantage…..and to disallow Willock’s goal showed that Ref’s can get away with anything.

  4. What he has to do is simple; either change the style or personnel. I think he is trying the later with bid for ball playing keeper and acquisition of white. Another thing is, while playing from the back, why not position defender to receive the ball rather than midfielders?.
    Today’s game is an eye opener that we are still going to suffer the same fate this season. Leno misplaced the ball 4 times in second half alone.
    My positive take from this match is Nketiah and Willock must stay. White is good.

    Nagative take: same old defensive errors, we need wing backs to step up, same old misfiring strikers, problems of passing from the back, and Leno’s link-up.
    Hope the club fixes that before two weeks

  5. If Thomas partey is out for a long period Bring in Bissouma ,Bruno Guimaraes , Koopmeiners or ward-prowse just one of them ,the transfer window is not yet closed…we can still do business sort out our problems even an attacking midfielder is need Madison or Aouar and a RB period🤔
