Is he not too short for a CB in EPL?

Not at all. He is perfect for it. With his build, he wins most aerial duels or puts the striker off balance completely. Strikers are mostly unbalanced by body weight in aerial duels, not by height

Sportsweb:
Most of your games against them is draw, or they win and you win. There is no season you don't get at least a draw against them.

Amorim eliminated them from FA Cup. CARRICK beat them, Ten Hag beat them too

You cannot have a player like Bruno Fernandez in your team and not hurt arsenal easily.

I just need a Bruno Fernandez mentality in my team

Arsenal won the battle but we are going to win the war.

Chelsea fans are insufferable lots.

We can sign an actual midfielder tomorrow, and if he is unlucky to have started a match were we lose,you lots will come back to justify why James should be in the midfield.

Reece James will never be a midfielder. Take him to the right back and sign actual midfielders.

Even the washed up White pocketed your “Alajo” so bad he was taking his frustrations out on his master Rice.

Let’s have it!

5ft11 is too short when contesting aerially against Haaland, Sesko both at 6ft 5 and Havertz at 6ft 4. James will be hapless against a cross well delivered on a plate for those strikers that would make first and second runs to displace him in the box.

Pocketed? And Rice had to play it dark to stop Alajo from scoring the 2nd goal. The referee couldn’t give Rice, a deserved yellow card.

England FA babies.

Not expecting anything this season

Ballzproblemm:
Our attack is good ,our midfield too open and not good enough ,our defense is too high , our off ball movement is worrying, nobody is interested in pressing they just fall back and let opposition make plays.

We can't continue with Sanchez another season, we are back to pochettino area.

Drink goals, outscore opponents.

my comment since our first game ,I will make a good football analyst but I don't have passion for it

Martinez has collected 6 goals In 2 games,Alonso rectified nothing.

If he wants to take Chelsea on another level he needs to do two things.


1) change our off ball movement, rectify our pressing.

2) encourage players to brave after scoring first goal , after one you chase for more like you haven't scored at all , quick throwing ,quick counter ,no too much back pass from CBs if he's going too stick to back three.

Naaa.

Alajo was already carrying the frustration of being wrapped and spun like a ballerina by Konsa.

The crying was just the tipping point of the meltdown. It’s like a toddler that is holding pain and suddenly starts wailing and throwing tantrums.

Alajo was pocketed by a washed up White to the point White was busy building up attacks on the right side while Alajo was begging for Oxygen because the defending was driving him mad. It was why he was crying to the ref over a small trip. Thank God Alonso saved him from further tears.

Like I said earlier, gone are the days Chelsea fans approach Arsenal games thinking they would bring physicality as a weapon. Na we Dey bring the beating. You go collect beating, still collect L!

If Tzoli can start this match,why can't Barco also start this game?

Alonso should better start trusting his players.

I no quick turn on coward coaches.

You dey play 3-4-3 but look at the hectares of space Rice had to always drive in midfield without challenge.

Why don't you throw caution to the wind and play and be more daring and if you lose,you will be able to know what went wrong.

Kicking players legs or kicking keeper’s head is not what is called physicality in football. A Caicedo would have collected a red for what Gabriel did.

Arsenal and their dark arts are always condoned in Epl and in Europe they go back to default settings and fail to win trophies.

English FA babies.😄

Their so called JP. Morgan wailing is just amusing. When Kopalma clearly tackled Lewis-Skelly Maliciously from behind, my boy did not jump up to fight him off the ball o.....

When Rice tackled Alajo he Wan turn am to street fights

Me I like as we beat them on possession, by number of chances, by number of actual goals scored and even how we best their spirits till the extent they were almost losing their. E sweet me! 🤗

Lewis-Skelly didn't stand up to fight palmer btw.

these salty tears don too much! Who would have thought there would be a time, Chelsea fans, Worsestill old heads will be crying about physicality..

Gone are the days your physicality gave you any advantage. You have become softer than fresh agege bread. Chelsea fans decades ago used to brag about physicality whenever they face Arsenal but today, u can’t even handle small head slaps.. Ahhhh

Even your coach dare not whine about fouls like Alajo has been doing even after the match! Like Alajo move on with the tears! Man is still crying.

12 games now.. coach number 4 abi na 5 sef? I love it though. Anytime I meet you, I know I am literally beating the hell out of you! That is the cherry on top for me..

in! Palmer was lucky to still be in the game. You sabi the funny thing, Chelsea tried to approach the game physically.. I mean, Hospice patient Lavia was trying to rub chest with Benny Blanco.. but when men begin bring the heat, Chelsea players led by Alajo started wailing to ref oh! Baba was so frustrated he nearly cried. E get one beating wen Pedro chop from White abi na who sef, werey ended up on the floor looking for foul!

Nobody is crying about physicality. When did kicking the kepper's head with boot, become physicality? Show where Chelsea players booted Arsenal's keeper's head.

If any fanbase in the EPL is wailing about physicality, should it be Chelsea? Like? Chelsea fans wailing about physicality against Arsenal?

I can forgive a Gen Z Chelsea fan crying about it but old heads that have been following the league since inception? Haaaaaaa

[quote author=airmark post=140562990][/quote]What was Alajo wailing about in the game? Which incident was the tipping point for Alajo that made him bath Rice with salty tears?

Show evidence where Chelsea's keeper punched Arsenal's striker's head like Raya did on Joao Pedro last season. Show where a chelsea player left the ball and kicked your keeper's head and not carded.

You are at it again this season and the FA are showing their support too early this term.

They wasted time training like Rugby team only to get out played, out muscled and outclassed by the same opps.

To think Arteta didn't even bring in Bruno G to roughen them up even more. We reserve our Dabus-kabash for some other time sha.....make dem manage this one for now

They are not even hiding the complicity in Epl anymore. Arteta thanking one of his helpers after the match.

Jesus Christ, they’re not even hiding it this season 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/aLfXoQ7Kef

These tears won’t save you from the next beating you are scheduled to receive at home when we meet again.

First and second runs will displace anybody whether 5ft 2 or 6ft 4

The purpose of height is not to get outjumped and there is no way you will jump with James and win clean headet

Yes but an aerial ball will be more diffiicult for a Reece James to deal with than for a Saliba. Saliba obviously will have an edge in overall aerial reach.

Yes, the confidence would hit the roof, now that Arteta thanked the referee for a perfect job done after the match.

Next time we will train on how to evade the skull and the ankle breakers from the dark art specialists.

lordfalcao:
So which three midfielders are that?

Barco, lavia, hendo are all available aren't they?

Barco and lavia with palmer as a 10 exist too
