🚨 Alongside Arsenal, Chelsea make the earliest changes, averaging their first sub at 48 minutes, often at HT. Despite this, their subs have contributed only 3 goals and 1 assist in the league this season.

Chelsea's average age of their starting XI is 24 years and 219 days, while substitutes average 21 years and 349 days – both are the youngest in the league. 👶

Palmer moves up to 40 PL goals for Chelsea.

Only 8 players in Chelsea's history have scored more.

🚨 Bournemouth have had 12 shots in the first half so far! The most for an away side in the PL so far! 😳

That felt like two equal teams with no clear plan. Neither could defend properly, neither could score convincingly, and neither could dominate the ball. The real concern is Chelsea - how have we fallen to the point where we’re being measured against Bournemouth? Same level, same problems, same uninspiring football.

Why did we ditch the long throw-ins routine in the first place?

Christian Pulisic buries those 2 chances Enzo and João Pedro had... smack that ball hard at the near post.Who are you passing to???

Kudos to Fofana and Estevao...the only bright sparks.

I'd like to talk to the person who scrapped out the trick we had for long throws. We needed it the most today.

Losing Colwill did more damage than we can fathom. And the SDs thought we had enough when Maresca argued.

Someone like Hincapie on loan would have earned us extra 9 points. At the end, that extra points could worth more than the loan fee.

We made poor decisions last summer. We are now paying the price. I will blame the SDs before Maresca. Give the manager what he asks for, if he doesn’t perform, then we will come for his head. At the moment, he's working overtime.
