The red card issue actually destabilized the entire game plan for Chelsea, from the replay of that tackle, and if it were to be some referee they might have considered that tackle as not a red card offense but should have been decided as a yellow card offense rather, the tackle in my opinion was not that intentional as they offender went for the ball first before matching on the opponents leg. Anyways, performance was bad and Chelsea did have ample opportunity to have gotten a goal but they couldn't utilize any.

The laxity of the team is still one amongst the major reason why Chelsea has been underperforming which is resultant to the management and squad depth. The red card was avoidable as far as I am concerned and wasn't the fault of the referee. The way they performed was really bad and that alone would have frustrated the referee for real. Chelsea needs to brace up if at all they have future in this season. Not for the gains alone but for the fans.

That's why it's so difference to see the game play of chelsea compared with city. Chelsea being so clueless after malo got red card. I think that malo was doing unnecessary thing that put chelsea in disadvantage but this club obviously has no winner mentality.
I think that the referee has different take compared with has. We may have wrong about that. Chelsea's chance to be relegated becomes far bigger now caused by 6 games played and 5 points acquired by chelsea.
The chelsea's level is so standard at this moment. It's even worst compared with midtable team which is so weird. Pochettino keeps do more experiment to the club by putting some players out of their position.
Pochettino is getting offside in determining the suitable positions for his players. I saw that pochettino was clueless. He was not always putting the players on their actual positions.
A bunch of complaints have come toward him.

Like I've oftentimes mentioned is that both the coach and the players of the club lack confidence. For a team like Aston Villa, it is ought to be a straight win for Chelsea but the annoyingly lack that experience, expertise and vibe to win. Not in this season. If they don't improve in their playing style before the mid of the season, they might end up in the last half standings in the premier league.
