    The grand scheme of things, drawing against Chelsea is not really a bad thing. We are still unbeaten in the league, only third due to Goal difference.

    We got a point despite playing poorly for 70 minutes at an away match. Chelsea has gotten a grip and played well for the last 2-3 matches as well.

    That being said, if we want to win the league, the performance against Chelsea is not acceptable. Rain, waterlogged pitch, away match, or whatever, we Need to turn this into 3 points. We just need to get better.

    We can’t always blame VAR or refereeing issues. We just have to accept that they will go against us every game and every match.

      It not the worst, the real test is how we bounce back and I don’t just mean the next match. I hope arteta and the players takes something away from the game

      Yeah nah we look at our own performances here, not anyone else’s. You’re right.

      The biggest quick takes from these matches is the drop in concentration against Spurs which cost us flipped positions. Also, yet another decision that shouldn’t have been, followed by the worst 50 or so minutes I’ve seen from us this year at Stamford. Proving we don’t have room for luck or taking our foot off the throat.

      As you say, we just need to get better.
