Chelsea look far more likely to score than us

We look a bit shambolic.

Embarrassing. Against 10 men. Pathetic.

But on the other hand, both lynchpin defenders out injured. Everything is driven by those two. They?re a big miss.

They are. And we will get better at coping without them, but we have to go to Villa next weekend. We are not going to win there without them. And that will be the lead pretty much gone.

We have to pray that Saliba just has a minor knock and will be ok. Quite remarkable that we have managed to replace an injury crisis at one end of the pitch with one at the other.

If it follows that pattern we'll lose Timber and Calafiori next :-(

We?re at home to Brentford on Weds. Issues surrounding Saliba and Trossard should become clearer by then.

Was Calafiori a tactical change or an injury?

I assumed a tactical change but we don't know for sure. Arteta didn't mention it, I think.
