Match Reaction: Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal

[Master Splinter]

Game should have been over at half time considering all the fluffed chances.

The team barely came out after the break.

Poor team selection. Pointless heroic comeback. Defeat.

WUMger does it again.

Grim stuff.

Still I've always said the first two matches of the season don't count so on we go.

I don’t think that’s how the league table works

The team that ended the match should have started it, with 2 changes. Cech is the past , we need to give Leno a chance or what was the point. He`s 26 not 20. ramsey can go and laca takes his place. Mikhi for Ozil. That team has a chance of top 4.

Chelsea were mighty lucky to win that. Auba its all on you?

Saw most of the second half and can’t really agree Chelsea were lucky to win it.
They were well on top for most of what I saw.

Agreed but they did not miss 4 sitters like we did. When you see the highlights of the 1st half you will weep.

None of the big hitters until Liverpool in early November now, though that's on my birthday.

Not unexpected defeat, lineup was shocking, Emery deserved to lose that game on that alone, didn't learn any lessons from the first match. Defence was terrible as expected considering we haven't really invested much in that area, Auba had a poor match and should have put away his chances.

2nd half learnt next to nothing and to be honest, 1st goal we scored the keeper should have done better.

Emery will get time but not if he keeps sticking with some of the duds he insists on playing, needs to show a willingness to change things and ability to learn. I think our poor summer of recrutiment might come back to haunt us, 5 goals shipped in two games already so defence isn't looking good.

Mkhi: "We don't feel any pressure. We are not thinking that something is going wrong because we are moving in the right way even if we lost two games."

Seriously...?
