----------------------------------------------------------------------
I worry that taking alioski off removes some pace out of our back 4. i'd switch our wingers back over tho. it's not working for either on the opposite flanks.
Getting stripped down our left. Alioski getting no cover from Raph.

I have no idea where he's playing, I'll take your word for him playing back 4. Has popped up centre-mid-right a few times.

Dead on, we are wide open down that side when we lose the ball high up the pitch
Hopefully our fitness will help 2nd half if we can cut out the mistakes
Harrison on the right isn’t working.
It's 1.1 against a class team.
Take the positives out of this and enjoy

I think we expending a lot of energy trying to hold them. We usually outlast teams hope we can do it here as well

Yep, a couple of duff crosses when he was on the left also
Great first half - we're doing well. Hope Koch is alright but Llorente looks very confident. Cooper's playing very well. Bamford's goal was sublime...what a start! I am very impressed with how we are competing.
Cooper, Phillips, Raphinha, Klich playing brilliantly for us. Ayling has been good too.
Raphinha still needs to improve defensively though.
Chelsea been brilliant. Very good on the ball. And this is the best performance we have faced so far this season. We need to find a solution or rely on luck to get anything out of this game.
Can’t fault many players. Just up against a side that cost hundreds of millions more than ours.
Alioski has struggled. Bamford isn’t able to press or hold the ball up effectively. Harrison has been wasteful on the ball.
Difficult game. Class is showing at the moment. Not sure how to change it tbh
Rodrigo might tip it in our favour, whoever he replaces.
Giroud, excellent striker, is going to be a handful for anyone - Cooper is doing really well.
47% possession for us but we are working hard. Giroud is classroom be fair. We could do worse than take him in January if he’s not happy at Chelsea.
watching our goal again. Wow what a pass from Phillips and Bamford pure pure class finishing it off.
Alioski getting ripped by Werner on the left. James, Havertz and Giroud are having a field day. Corners are killing us. Where's Pontus when you need him?
Bring on Rodrigo for Harrison?
Been really impressed with our commitment as usual but them attacking on the left is giving me real concern.
Been disappointed with Harrison so far but Llorente has slotted in well.
Class but we could maybe do with him in our classroom

Agreed, they are skilful, pacey and look dangerous every time they break on us. We are also gifting them chances by giving it away playing out from the back on occasion

Alioski pace? Not sure about that - energy but not the quickest I’d say. He’s played well recently but having a shocker. Dallas would unitive us defensively but seems like bielsa doesn’t trust Rodrigo in terms of team duties. Think that’s the change most of us would like to see.
Been impressed with Chelsea - more so off the ball than on it. They’ve closed us down really well and caused lots of mistakes, which is where most of the trouble has come from.
Disappointing goal, both cb’s ball watching they were queuing up to score from a routine cross.
Quality of Crossing been the biggest difference between the sides. I guess a reflection of the Calibre of the individuals. Still all to play for.

Worth a go I think. Either that or bring Alioski off for him and put Dallas LB
