Young surprised me with the challenge on Diaz already being on a yellow. He’s a vet and knows better.

Top of the table for the moment. It will be short-lived I’m sure.
 
If the first one on Young is a no doubter, was the second on Konate also a no doubter? Also, questionable handball on Keane. Was always going to be given considering the missed calls against Spurs.
I think those other two could have gone either way. But I had no doubt they were going to call that handball.
 
No team has ever won 4 straight times at Stanford Bridge. Unfortunately, I think this stat changes today. Arsenal have won the last 3 against us at the Bridge. I liked the way we were playing before the break and I do think our midfield and defense will keep us in the game, but I’m still on the see it to believe train when it comes to the attackers. Just hope it’s a good game.

I hate having to root for Chelsea, but I am today.
 
75 minutes of young talent showing maturity and that they can outplay even the top teams when they play with confidence. Then 15 minutes of that young talent making youthful mistakes.

Should have been 3 points. Arsenal didn’t have a single shot on goal until that terrible give away by Sanchez for Arsenals first goal. Young talent fell to the pressure soon after.

Take the positives and lessons and move on. Back into the top 10 and a chain of positive results. Keep working, keep growing.

Keane may be the unluckiest player to ever play in the PL. Just one of those guys who always seems to find himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Obviously nothing he could have done at that close range, but at the end of the day you can’t have to arm out like you’re trying to hail a cab in the box like that.

Of course…Keane would have never even been on the pitch if not for Young’s terrible challenge and getting himself sent off after barely half an hour.
 
Nkunku is returning in the next month-ish. Wish we could have had him for this gauntlet of games we have coming up but him getting back a month or two early is still huge. Hope we can get some good injury vibes and continuity the second half of the year 🤞🏼
