Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest (PL) Sun 6th October 24 14:00 GMT

Just a few words and off to blow off steam somewhere - Jackson and Enzo glued to the bench for the foreseeable future. This display was pathetic and if Maresca is a man of his word, i.e. picking players by their performance, the should only get a sniff playing Dinamo Tbilisi and Torquay United. FFS

And there was I getting caught up in the recent knee-jerk reaction that we were suddenly good again. Same stuff as last season and the one before in truth.

Is it the same though?

Last year we weren't getting a equalizer (and it actually happened) and would pass the ball aimeslly for the whole half.

Their keeper had an amazing game, has to be said.

The biggest worry so far are the set-pieces. We got a set piece coach from Brentford because of last season and no idea what he has done up to this point.

We should have won it with those two chances for Felix and Nknuku, but the whole game was poor from us. That is not how you approach a team playing a low block, and Maresca set us up like we were not expecting it. We were just too slow with our creativity. It didn't help that the likes of Jackson, Enzo and Gusto decided to play stinkers. Really poor today.

Could have given us 90 minutes stoppages and we would not break the low block.

Cause we would spend 85 minutes arguing and protesting against the opposition, against the referee and amongst ourselves. 

 
Just 2 points, no 3 1. Substitutes should have been made earlier. 2. Cucurella appeal no yellow.  3. Forest need to be punished by premier league. They don't have enough skill for premier league, so are playing a cynical game to survive.  

 
Felix with a chance... Went wide

Nkunku with a chance... Went straight to the keeper

Palmer with a chance.. Hits at keeper.. 

When we are frustrated do we not know how to shoot??? 

This reminded me of poch and potter games. 

Forest dirty team kept time wasting and what happened to kicking the ball away = yellow card? They kept doing it and they didn't get punished for it and kept faking injuries aswell what sort of BS is this

 
A draw possibly a fair result in the end, though it feels like 2 points dropped 

Big saves from Sanchez 

Discipline is a problem 6 yellows again this will comeback to bite us

Anfield without Forfana and Cucurella will be hard

Disastrous from Enzo, he has earned the bench. We really need Lavia back and healthy.

Yep, I've seen enough. Another player that has fooled everybody into thinking he is good just because of his international form and the country from where he was born. He's not good enough. Also, take the vice captaincy off him, it's a joke that he even has it.

 
Jackson should have been removed earlier or not even started. Nkunku earned a start today. For those who have been attacking us, jackson critics, games like these where he goes quiet is the reason why some of us aren't hundred percent on board the jackson train yet.

I would try to get that yellow card on Cucurella removed, can't see what he did wrong in the situation where he got tackled over the sideline..

Why TF did he even get a yellow? We are getting done in by Sh** refs that can't even control a game 

 
We can look at it as 2 points dropped, or alternatively one point gained vs what Liverpool achieved in their equivalent fixture.

Probably need to beat them at Anfield now though, or at least draw. A defeat and the gap to the leaders starts to look quite large.

We need Lavia for Liverpool 💯. 

Just losing all faith in Enzo. Mentally just hasn’t been at the races this season. On and off the ball just redundant.

Agreed. Redundant is the ideal word for him at the moment.

 
Enzo is supposed to be an upgrade on Jorginho but he's worse than him, sorry...

 
Knew this place would be a beacon of positivity 😂😂😂

Forest will cause the big teams a lot of problems away from home. They’re great in scenarios like today, less so when the onus is on them to attack.

I thought we responded well to going behind, something that hasn’t been a strong point for the last few years. We had some very very good chances and on another day would have got the win.

Props to Sanchez for the saves at the end. Thought Mudryk did better than expected when coming on. Enzo really the only one I’m annoyed with.
