When chelsea win its a joke, when they lose its 20 minutes of craig and Stevie talking about how bad the team is. Embarrassing from espn fc

[@richiestockton]

lad their paid espn employees it's in their contract obligations to talk nonsense for 75% of the time

[@kielalleyne1209]

Very much so, they are Chelsea haters but don't worry, we will show them

[@Youisnothim]

Well they gave credit to Chelsea’s attack. But their defense was poor and they were rightfully criticized for it

[@chelseafanatic2753]

Yeah Steve Nicols obviously with his hyping up of Liverpool but of course will mention as if Chelsea played bad defensively the whole game. The second half Chelsea had more control and were much better defensively.

[@mellowjourney3983]

Frank is the worst pundit on espn fc. He said stop playing from the back. When it works you are praising the team and when it doesnt you chastise them Chelsea has the players to play out from the back. It worked against Wolves, West Ham and City. This was the first mistake we made playing out from the back. There is no ball playing CB that does not make mistakes, even Ederson does these errors sometime. Just move on

[@Godwitus]

the thing . Chelsea has not still mastered building from the back... They are beast with transition and counter attacking.

[@kennyalale4904]

​@Godwitus I agree with you, but this is how you master it, by playing in live games with it. They can train all week long but if they don't actually use it in games they will not be better at playing out from the back. Mistakes are inevitable, as long as they win games let us back them up as fans and watch them grow, we can see a system being formed and we are getting results, that's the important part. COYB

Brighton is a good team but Chelsea attacking football force Brighton to make mistakes You don't expect Chelsea to play defensive football and end up playing goalless draw or 1-1 at the end of the game like Man united

[@RemindMe268]

Finally, someone said it. Chelsea as been forcing mistakes from the opposition. If you want to sit back, they can play possession football, and can hit you on a counter. Not to mention, they still press. You want to play a high line, they have firepower to run in behind like we saw today.

[@RasenRendanX]

true, Chelsea need a keeper and a striker, because if Palmer wasn't there they would have lost.

[@briandeal8927]

Chelsea is Stevie’s kryptonite. We could win the EPL with over 100 points and the Champions League and he would claim “this season is an embarrassment. There was no quality. These clubs should be ashamed of themselves because Chelsea is a joke with average players at best”.

Craig said the same thing with West Ham. City beat them 3-1 and it was just another day for them. But Chelsea beats them 3-0 and "West Ham was all over the place" He saying the same thing about Brighton. Craig maybe we're just that good and make these defenses look silly. Have you thought about that?

[@BigSnoot97]

This is genuinely embarrassing from Craig especially so basically what we’re going tk do is we’re gonna sit here every week and say every team Chelsea beat is just playing bad 😂😂😂 no excuses at this point Brighton were unbeaten and Chelsea ran them over 4-2 is very kind to Brighton it could easily have just as easily been 6-1. Chelsea are fkr real and after Arsenal pool and city are BY FAR the 4th best team in the league.

[@Chelseafan4life_]

Mark this when Chelsea beats Liverpool Stevie will see and know proper football. He is a bitter old man. Can't wait for Chelsea to upset all the odds.

3:05 Craig, the "five or six beautiful passes" from Palmer were all played from the "right hand side". Think of it.

[@jakewallace4246]

As a City fan we don’t feel too much pain often but losing Rodri then dropping points to Arsenal and Palmer scoring 4 is a bit of a bitter pill😂

[@agbonublaise5905]

Name the player better than Palmer presently in the league ? Since he played his first match the only person who comes close is Halland who is the best player in the league so if he isn’t the best then aside from Halland who else ?

Finally some people are saying good things about Chelsea

[@dazzlestreaming9277]

[@Daniel8alx]

I hope after this game, everyone called me crazy but Nkunku is our 9 from now on, i dont want to see Jackson again, were creating some many chances, and he is losing, Nkunku is the best for Palmer, Same for Lavia, The best Pivot Duo is Lavia and Caicedo, i understand the enzo is very good at attacking but we already have 4 attackers, 2 Wings, one 10 and a 9, so we're struggling so much in the middle defense because enzo does not help Caicedo, So please as long Lavia is 100% put him with Caicedo in the first 11 Sanchez. Gusto. Fofana. Cotwill. Cucu Caicedo. R.Lavia. C.Palmer 10. Madueke/Neto Sancho/Felix NKUNKU

[@paulgilliland2992]

So many goals in the top leagues scored from defenders and keepers trying to play out from the back this season.

[@vincew3377]

If Sanchez doesnt loose his head twice, then Brighton probably doesnt score and Chelsea get a third clean sheet in a row. To say that Chelseas defense is a joke is a bit of a stretch based on recent games. It can be better sure, but its not as horrible as this guy makes it out to be. Before this game they conceded 5 goals in 5 PL games. Thats not really bad. Also if you dont find Chelsea entertaining to watch right now, then you dont like football Steve..

[@francisoti-mensah7959]

Frank the reason Chelsea is able to play vertically very fast is because playing out of the back creates an extra man in midfield
