Chelsea were beaten 3-0 by Brighton in an un utter humbling at home which is a new low of the whole BlueCo project.<\/p>\n
With everything on the line, Chelsea conceded early from a corner to make it clear to everyone that they weren\u2019t going to even try and earn a point today.<\/p>\n
The away team were playing well, and racked up a couple of shots to follow their goal. Rob Sanchez chucked in his usual mistake, and was only saved by a Trevoh Chalobah clearance off the line. Chelsea didn\u2019t land a glove on their opponent.<\/p>\n
Liam Rosenior\u2019s team were very lucky it was only 1-0 at the break, but their luck didn\u2019t hold in the second period. Brighton got the goals they deserved, and any remaining resolve evaporated from the home team.<\/p>\n
MOTM \u2013 N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\n There is nothing really to analyse from this game. This was a Chelsea team who were quite visibly not attempting to play, shamelessly going on strike to get their manager removed.<\/p>\n The first half was the worst half of football we can remember from a Chelsea team, at least in terms of effort. They didn\u2019t make a tackle, barely were able to string passes together or take even the most speculative of shots.<\/p>\n This is a new low, and we can\u2019t see Rosenior surviving this.<\/p>\n Sanchez; Fofana (Garnacho h\/t), Chalobah, Hato; Gusto (Acheampong 90+2), Caicedo, Lavia (Essugo 72), Cucurella: Neto, Delap (Guiu 72), Fernandez (c)<\/p>\n Unused subs<\/strong>: Sharman-Lowe, Tosin, Sarr, Andrey Santos, Derry.<\/p>\n Statistic<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/th>\n Team 1<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/th>\n Team 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n Ball Possession<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 53%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 47%<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Expected Goals (xG)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2.14<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 0.37<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Total Shots<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 15<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Shots on Target<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 9<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Big Chances<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Big Chances Missed<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Accurate Passes<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 456 (86%)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 400 (84%)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Fouls Committed<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 15<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Corners<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 6<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 5<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIn the basics, in the pride that you should have in wearing the shirt, that was unacceptable\u2026\u00a0 the players as well need to have a look in the mirror for what they put in. You can talk about tactics, tactics come after the basics. Having more courage to play, winning duels, winning headers, tackles, conceding terrible goals.
