Sanchez looked like a rabbit in the headlights, Caicedo anonymous, Cucurella weak first half improved second, Colwill anonymous.

I thought Sanchez was shocking, if we’d scored from his mistakes they would turned on them.

Dint really notice Colwill or Caicedo. Thought Cucu had a good game - took a bit of a kicking
Indeed. Such a shame we didn't take advantage. They'd be on his back and the calls to get Ramsdale in would increase and poor sulky Bob could find himself no.2 again

Enjoyed the full blooded challenge between Pervis and Cucurella second half, battle of our left backs. Not sure why they celebrated like they had won the cup but there you go.

People talk a lot on the “Brighton fleecing Chelsea” topic about Caicedo, Cucurella and Potter, but honestly Sanchez might be the worst bit of business I’ve seen one of the big 6 do in a long time

I did think Cole Palmer was good. I know it was a long shot him coming to us, but would have been interesting to see how RDZ woud use him. Maybe we can just wait for Chelsea to ruin him and get rid on the cheap.

He’s a decent keeper.
 


The only frustration of last night is how overwhelmingly average Chelsea were, provided nothing other than a couple of long balls, then scored an iffy possible offside goal, and more than likely should’ve been down to 10. Caicedo provides nothing to that team, a complete waste. Sanchez other than a couple of routine stops that were straight at him, was abysmal.
We were controlling the game in midfield and Chelsea can only respond with an ankle breaker of a tackle there. We were robbed. Was philosophical enough when I thought it was just our poor finishing that let them off the hook - but the fact that the ref had a big hand in it too means I'm still spitting bricks a day on

He's an OK shot stopper. He's not even remotely suited to the modern goalkeeping tactics of a sweeper-keeper employed by all the top teams these days (including us). It's such a massive backward step for a club the size of Chelsea to have him as their number one.

Marc Cucurella​

Fee: £56m plus £7m in add-ons
Chelsea fate: Now their third or fourth choice left-back
How Brighton replaced him: With a much better left-back

After one season at Brighton, in which he flittered between orthodox left-back and a centre-half in a back three, it made sense for Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea to make a move for Marc Cucurella. Hey, remember Thomas Tuchel?

For that price as well as sending Levi Colwill down to the south coast on loan, the Spaniard had to hit the ground running. He essentially crash-landed and is yet to recover.

I was listening on the wireless and following on the BBC Sport live blog thingy and I thought they were all – to a man – absolutely shitehouse.
