Embarrassing – Boehly you are an embarrassment to this club – Absolute disaster class from Chelsea what a shameful outing – Chelsea fans blast Boehly
Kepa Arrizabalaga, the Spanish goalkeeper who on Thursday was criticized for failing to claim Jack Grealish’s cross, ended up down 2-0 as a result of a free kick and a penalty. Overall, the 90 minutes were strong. 6.
Graham Potter was not ready for Chelsea, he wasn't ready for such expectations, it's not entirely his fault, but I would love to see Marcelo Gallardo given a chance,

Trevoh Chalobah—Starting on the right side of a back four, the defender made his first appearance since domestic football resumed. attempted to play the ball out from the side but did not appear fully at ease. In the second half, he performed better as a member of the back three. 5.
I think we can all see what he’s trying to do. The boys showed it tonight, there’s a clear and beautiful plan. Support and give him time 💙 pic.twitter.com/OgU72KG2dR

Bashir Humphreys made a strong opening play in his debut, taking down Bernardo Silva before laying off a lovely pass to Kai Havertz. Unfortunately, the rest of the first half saw Chelsea’s backline struggle to get past Man City’s push. For the second period, the 19-year-old was shifted to the left side of a back three and maintained his composure. 6.
This is the new Chelsea under new ownership. Wow!!!

Kalidou Koulibaly – The Senegal international had a less than encouraging performance despite keeping his spot for a fourth straight match. Phil Foden was fouled, resulting in Man City’s second penalty, and he otherwise unable to exert any pressure on the forwards. 3

Lewis Hall – Lewis Hall handled the ball well while facing City’s pressure, although he was unable to advance as much as in prior games. An enjoyable though unspectacular trip. 6.
He needs to go tonight. I will personally camp outside Stamford bridge in protest until I see Graham signing his severance letter. POTTER OUT!

Mateo Kovacic put on a pretty unremarkable performance, having trouble receiving the ball from the defense before being replaced at halftime. 4,
Chelsea’s first half was summed up by Jorginho’s first-time pass straight out for a corner as the Italian failed to get on the ball and his teammates struggled to locate him. 4.
Conor Gallagher: Showed signs of promise by winning the ball high up the field, but like his midfield teammates, he struggled to have an influence for the majority of the first half. had a brief stint at wing-back before moving back to the center of the field in the second half. 5.
Haven’t seen a Potter suffer this much pain since Voldemort killed Harry’s parents

Mason Mount had a challenging comeback after failing to capitalize on the few touches he had in the first half. He is an England international. 4.

Hakim Ziyech was mostly deprived of possession and may have been unfortunate not to have been awarded a free kick when he was tripped while going through on goal. 5.
Embarrassing

Kai Havertz – The German, 23, struggled to settle into the game and stunned everyone when VAR called a handball in his own box. 3.
Boehly you are an embarrassment to this club if you don’t pay Enzo’s release clause after this game
