Defense is still a problem. Desperately need 2 new fullbacks.

 

Wow haha we are so lucky

 

Lewy with 4 goals in 14 minutes.

 

Good lord that 3rd goal was beautiful

 

Harry!

 

So weird to see early subs, I’m not used to that

glad the second half was so much better. Hope to see more of that

 

Since Kovac got sacked we scored 16 goals and conceded 0 in 4 games. Not that bad. Maybe we don't need a new coach at all.

 

That first Olympiakos goal is all Danny Rose. What the hell was he doing?

 

Honestly, football is so depressing as an Arsenal fan right now.

No direction, no plan, no tactics, no good performances since the start of March, no atmosphere. Nothing.

I haven't even bothered going in a while.

 

I can’t believe Emery is still employed

 

Neither can we.

 

Lucas has come out and said he’s happy Mourinho is in charge because he’s now at his preferred wide position. He said Poch always played him out of position at the 9 but he “did his best” to make it work.

 

Seeing some of these reinvigorated is great. Lucas and Dele look like they have new life in them. Even Eriksen looked involved

 

The Mourinho honeymoon period is great lol literally everything that comes out of the club sounds right.

 

I'll take the honeymoon and whatever comes after as long as we get a couple trophies out of it

 

I thought that too

 

this honeymoun is lasting forever, i’m sure of it

 

Jan and Toby want to sign new contracts. Eriksen still being a turd.

 

Eriksen is smart and knows that creative players always get "short shrift" from Mourinho eventually. It's the right time for him to move on, he has stagnated the last few seasons.

 

I really really fucking hate these staggered European kick offs.

the United match kicks off at 3:50pm tomorrow. It was meant to be 5:55pm for the staggered kick offs but because it’s in Kazakhstan it’s kicking off even earlier.

 

I'm liking this particular early kick-off game right now, Kovacic has scored his first goal for Chelsea!

Kepa terrible as usual for VCF's goal though, my brother calls him 'biscuit wrists' because he's so weak at keeping out shots he gets a hand to

 

Biscuits are stronger than his wrists mate.

 

He is absolute shite at the moment, his passing out from the back has been even worse than his shot-stopping too. Puts Zouma under so much pressure when it's so obvious he is already not too confident receiving the ball and being pressed.

Edit: penalty save aside lol

 

This game is wild
