Silva applies the handbrake and Poch stuffs up his subs..... AGAIN

Like watching paint dry. Backwards and forwards among the back 4, all of them walking. Where was the intent to go and grab the 3 points? Off the ball play simply invisible against a shockingly poor team who played 5 in defence from the kick off. A virtuoso goal from Silva was his only contribution . The rest of the time he's like a giant handbrake slowing the team to a crawl. Hate seeing a once great player now so far off the pace needed.
When we needed speed and power we got snails pace and long passages of play where the back 4 held it for a minute or more ,no forward movement.
So does Poch sharpen us up with some early subs?? Nope 1st change is a like for like at 75 mins, then another at 83 mins and finally a defender and midfielder at 90 + 3.
Given players must be really tired after 3 quick games, this is idiocy. Such is Chelsea.

 

Pretty much spot on.
Silva should have gone at 60 minutes.
Playing defence against the worst team in the league when we are 1-2 up made me cringe.
Pedestrian football 101!
This is a team who have been getting slapped up every week in the last couple of months, and we made them look like Rocky Balboa.
