  • Chelsea was decently good for much of that, yet they bottled it (unfortunately). Back in the Spurs days, we would have lost that match 3-2 at 89 minutes. I’m hopeful that Poch has matured since then. The ambition is certainly there. Chelsea’s midfield progression is very good considering how early into Poch’s tenure it is. However, the passes are still not there yet for Chelsea, especially in Arsenal’s half (I cannot understand why did Palmer and Jackson keep the ball for so long or made too many touches whenever they were in Arsenal’s box). At the moment, I do not rate Palmer (although I haven’t seen much of Chelsea this season). Some of the defending from Chelsea was also super sketchy too, especially after they were 2-0 up (which we also saw during Poch’s time at Spurs).

    I don’t really agree that Poch is a fraud (he’s usually crap in his first season at a new club), I’d wait until half a season or three years really. Tbh it’s kind of impressive that he’s managed to draw against big six teams twice (which is already an improvement over his later tenure at Spurs where we always seem to lose more than win in our big six derbies).
