[FULL REACTION] Arsenal WIPED THE FLOOR with Chelsea - Craig Burley | ESPN FC 

Not talked about enough is Partey dominating at CDM today. He's been out for a long time and he needs to get into a rhythm for game speed, but when he's flowing he's one of the best in that position in the world. Partey being healthy and playing his best again is underrated and huge for the final stretch of the season.

As an Arsenal fan, Trossard gives me vibes of Freddie Ljundberg. He's not super fast, but technically very good, works hard for his team and really knows where the goal is.

Give Lord Pochettino a lifetime contract, and don't forget to give that to Michael Jackson as well

Time for ESPN FC to stop making excuses for Poch and apply the same pressure to him that they’ve been applying to Ten Hag non-stop for 6 months. Poch has managed in the EPL for nearly a decade and how Chelsea are performing under him is horrendous. No more excuses and double standards from these pundits for Poch.

The BAD in the BADiashile and the DISASTER in DISASi Came through🤣🤣🤣

Arsenal fans Ole'ing Chelsea passes at 5-0 was a human rights violation...😭😭😭😂

Whenever Chelsea or United have a bad result, Craig juat appears. He could be on vacation and fly in same night 😂

Arteta should have just subbed in the fans and rest the players 😂

It's ridiculous that he didn't get a red card ...I've seen granit xhaka get sent off for way less

Won't be Cole Palmer FC for long. Dude won't want to carry these bums forever.

After the 6-0 game in 2014 Arsenal kinda owed Chelsea an old fashioned beatdown.

Nico Jackson still living off the hattrick against Spurs 😅😅😅

Finally, Shaka says what I’ve been saying all season. How can you not train and improve on the same goals we have been conceding all season? Poch is clueless.

Trossard vs Mudryk is a tough debate lol

Not an Arsenal supporter but that performance last night was something special! beautiful flowing football and great finishing. Martin Ødegaard should be the player of the season maybe Cole Palmer would challenge that. Well done The Gunners hope you win The Premier League

Partey superb tonight, always looking to pass forward and break the lines, he must start against Spurs.

Nico Jackson finds himself in good positions, and then manages to make spectacular misses.

Trossard amazing player he was running all the way he was everywhere. He was amazing.

Odegaard, urgh, such a joy to watch..sensational

Trossard has to one off our best signings for a while, don’t think any off us arsenal fans could see how much off an impact he has made

Forget about Poch. The players have 8-year contracts. Some of the players' contracts need to be terminated 😂

Liverpool fan here. Yes Chelsea were bad but Arsenal look like Champions to me. They deserve it this season with some of the football they have played! YNWA

The roast sesh Jackson received here was diabolical 😂😂

I absolutely love a Craig Burley rant! This one was an 11/10 😂😂😂

Odegard with Partey behind him hits another gear. He should always start and if needed rest him 60-70th minute.

Arsenal today shows why it's called "The Beautiful Game." Their passing is artisty at times.

Everybody is talking about Ten Haag etc…well Chelsea losing big times from Arsenal??? Nobody is talking about sacking Chelsea coach 😂

When did training day become an official match? 😂

You get the feeling that everyone outside of your TV studio knows what amateurs the American owners of Chelsea are. Everyone knows that Todd Boehly presented his own team line-up in one of his first meetings with then Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel... his line-up had 12 players on the pitch!!! It's not about who is the coach at Chelsea, it's about the owners!!!!

When a team loses 5-0 and its best player is the goalkeeper, then you are in big trouble, and I do not know who is the worst coach at reading the game, Tin Hag or Butch

Without Palmer this team is Everton

Chelsea is in such a funny situation. I think it was during the United game I saw Disasi celebrating after each tackle. Obviously trying to appear all passionate and stuff. Except there were two problems. First one, he continues doing this after Chelsea has just thrown away a 2 goal lead. 2nd, in one scenario, he gave the ball away in a dangerous situation and was forced into a last ditch tackle, conceding a corner kick. Instead of holding his hand up and apologising to his teammates, i saw him celebrate again. And before you say it's age related, he is 26. He should be more level-headed, but he is acting like some inexperienced teenager. I think Chelsea will be used as a future case study with regards to the merits of a complete tear down and rebuild based on very young, inexperienced, and expensive players. The assumption is they will eventually be good but player development in football is rarely ever that linear. There are so many hurdles to overcome. So many things you can't predict and quantify like how players can overcome injuries or lack of confidence or even personal issues.

You know your team is making bad decisions when guys like Aubameyang, Pulisic, Kovacic, Havertz, Kante, Koulibaly and Jorginho are miles better than your current squad.😅

Mr Burley you were right, I was just about to send a tweet saying Arteta shouldn’t start Havertz in the second half and by time I looked twas 4nil, I almost ended up with egg on my face 😪

Harvertz: two goals, but still Craig B. achieves to criticize him. No other striker does bad passes apparently sometime

TOMAS PARTEY IS THE GENERAL!!! MAN BOSSES GAMES AND SLICK GOING FORWARD = MVP.....

There is no football culture at Chelsea. They still haven't recovered from the forced sale. The new ownership is clueless about football culture. Poch needs to be given at least three years to create a culture there or this will be a revolving door nightmare like ManU.

arsenals problem is NOT having anything to do with being emotional. its that Partey was not fit for the Bayern or Villa games and an astute manager with a well organized team can shut us down in the midfield. villa slowed our chance creation down enough to keep us from winning. it has nothing to do with emotion and that narrative is poor

Highest scoring side in the league but they "need someone to put the ball in the back of the net." They've shared the goals around the team for two seasons now so it's not a one-off or temporary thing. I think Arsenal should sign a striker but it still seems a lazy criticism, especially after a 5-nil victory in which their top scorer didn't score.

Imagine arsenal scored 5 against Manchester United headlines Ten Hag

Craig's obvious dislike of Havertz is ridiculous. The guy has scored 2 goals and yet Craig focuses on his first half and him being Jekyll & Hyde. Really? He has consistently delivered throughout the season.

Arsenal's toughest test in my opinion in their run in is Manchester United. Manchester United shouldn't give them many problems with the form they're in, but you can never count out United at Old Trafford.

Incredible that Arsenal had less possession at home and yet won 5-0. Very rare. Shows yet another facet to their game.

Don't forget the missing link was Thomas partey

Chelsea could've put 11 blue traffic cones at the Emirates today and the score would've been the same.

Nico Jackson makes Havertz look prolific 😂

Thank God Cole Palmer wasn't Playing...Great Performance from AFC..❤

Rice & party dominated 200 million Chelsea 😂😂😂😂

Arsenal was ROBBED today i tell you 😂

Odegaard for 35 million is maybe the best buy we have ever done. What a player.

Warning to Liverpool and City. Arsenal will never give up the fight. We can do it.

Ben whites preferred position isn't even at RB lol. I like how he plays very simple yet effective. Chelsea's whole spine looked like league two players. Their CBs were full of fear and their CMs never found their footing in the game.

Why do they have to take a dig at Havertz when criticizing Jackson, guy has been top notch this season

ESPN FC is biased 🤦‍♂️ if this was United! They will start screaming on top of their voices

Burley’s ratings out of 5 or out of 10? 😭 😂

I like how no one is mentioning this is the first league game that a trio or partey, rice and odegaard have started together this season.

Chelsea were disturbingly bad! Extraordinarily bad! Without petrovich amazing save, it would have been 10-0

Odegaard,Rice,White, Havertz, Trossard were Excellent. Gabriel, Saliba, Saka, Partey,Raya were all good. Martinelli needs to relax and play for the Team. Tomi needs to tighten up defensively as pacy forwards are exploiting his weakness. Good that Chelsea could not take advantage of our mistakes - it would have been costly. Hope our loss to Villa doesn't come back to bite us. COYG

Bro where is the same energy on Chelsea they give Man United. Unbelievable

Jackson was winger in Villarreal not striker why pocha playing him upfront while Jackson proved he can’t score goals

Chelsea needs to fire their entire medical staff.

Shaka Raya has won the Golden Glove after criticising him lol

These people can’t shut up about Ten Hag!

Cole Palmer please find another team you dont deserve this...

ESPN has the best analysis of the EPL right now by far but I wish Craig would be a bit more charitable to Kai Havertz. If you zoom out he always puts in a shift, he makes that 7 out of 10 every game overall, and he has managed to put up sufficient goals and assists to justify keeping his spot. he looks ungainly sometimes but he is very coachable, very capable and if it weren't for these aesthetic issues that bother observers he would be more fairly considered one of the top attackers in the league

Chelsea is worse than united. Even though Poch gets a green pass every time. They also spent a lot and Poch got enough time at least to do better than that. Somehow Poch isn’t criticized that harshly.

Chelsea problems are coaches & owner! It also true some players are not supposed to be in Chelsea, Chaloba & Bandashy.

Just some free advice to those high paid Chelsea "recruiters" - spend a little time, do some research and find some established experienced players(+29) on every line with winning ambitious and expiring contracts for free or a just for a small amount. Sign with just 1-2 years contracts. This could help some of these youngsters to not degrade and lose their potential under such pressure and perhaps even to develop.

idk how ESPN can still back Pochettino after this horrendous performance, if this was Man Utd, they would be screaming "SACK TEN HAG!" THE HYPOCRISY

And of course, they made Raheem Sterling the RU-vid Thumbnail as if he’s the reason why Chelsea lost 🤔

"N. Jackson makes Kai Harvetz look prolific!" has me hollering🤣🤣🤣

All this time.... Dan doesn't hate Chelsea, he's an Arsenal fan.

Chelsea went from 15 goals conceded in an entire season to conceding 5 goals in one match 😢

Robo, you can see how cheap talk is. Flipflop. However, I am glad you changed your mind so quickly about the boys. They got themselves up so quickly.

now to havw this kind of perfomance in the next game

What ever happened to the £200 million that Chelsea invested in buying players? At least Arsenal buys players that continues to get better and makes the team better. Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez are a shell of themselves. Kai Havertz looks far better than he ever was in Chelsea. Arsenal buys players that makes other players harder to get starts and can rotate injured players to avoid long term injury. Partey can't get starts due to Jourginho and Rice. Havertz makes starts difficult for Nketiah, Jesus and Martinelli. Smith Rove and Viera can't get starts. Not to mention Kiwior with Timber coming back from injury.

Should be a sackable offence tbh no team that considers itself as a Top Team should stand for the result . Poch must be sacked simple

Sad part of Jackson? In the preseason, he looked like the real deal. In the regular season?

Partey in the midfield brought so much confidence to the team...no one talks about his presence

Football is a team sport. These Chelsea players have not played together before. The goal Jackson missed, very few strikers can score in such tight angle. Chelsea will make top four next season.

I Fully Agree that Trossard has the same style as Freddie

I thought that was a very poor analysis. I understand that Chelsea are a story but, not a mention of how good odegaard or Ben white were, picking up a 9.9 and 9.7 match rating respectively.

I play Fantasy Premier League from the start of the season and had to pick Chelsea players for their good set of opening fixtures. So I pick Nico J along side Haaland and Watkins since from what I've seen in Villarreal, he's quite decent. Thought he'll score some goals for sure. After a long time he's in my FPL team, it became evident that this Nico J is clueless in front of goal for most of the time and this match was just another testament to his disability.

There seems to be a complete loss of confidence in the Chelsea players. I think Poch has to pull them together and collectively come to the agreement that things are not good. You START with that, to instil the sense of togetherness again, a team, rather than lost individuals. No one single player is at fault. That is step 1. Then, you remove any pressure from them by saying the season is basically over and expectations for remaining games will be low. Then, you appeal to their sense of professionalism, trying to get them to want to put some added physical effort into the remaining matches, without over-doing it (i.e. track back, deny the opposition time and space as much as possible). Then after the matches, brief them, highlighting the positives. Keep stressing the sense of TEAM. I'm not a Chelsea fan but those players need this kind of thing now, not after the season is over. Otherwise, it will haunt them all summer long.

Whenever Chelsea loses, ESPN FC put Sterling on the thumbnail... Dude didn't even start the game and is not responsible for this 5-0 drubbing. Just put Havertz or someone else from Arsenal on the thumbnail. Jeez.

The sheer names of Chelsea players would make you think they're aliens if you are a caveman

Ten Hag a.k.a the 7 to Chelsea and Pochettino a.k.a Sir Pinocchio to Man Utd. I am craving for this switch😂😂

As a city fan im glad for arsenal this is a Chelsea team that went all out to beat man city in the fa cup semi lost got jealous and throwing away points to arsenal to try and stop city from winning the league just embarrassing no wonder y pep runs a tight ship with them this season cant win a game

Craig clearly doesn’t watch chelsea or jackson. His link up play is actually excellent. He links up with palmer very well. Jackson gets too much slack. His finishing needs improving for sure. But there is a good player in there

Need to take a leaf out of Cole Palmer's book and spend less time at the hairdressers and more time at the training ground. Predictable result and players need to take responsibility, less so the manager.

This Enzo guy is the biggest fraud he convinced so many people he's good by performing in 10 matches We all got fooled This Argentine drinkwater is getting exposed

Jackson deserves a better ranking, for sheer effort alone and giving Chelsea an outball, which I thought he did well especially in that first half. You can’t say he didn’t put the effort in, so if you’re giving Gallagher and Gilchrist who got roasted repeatedly a 4, then Jackson also deserves 4, regardless of his glaring misses

Get Jackson and Mudryk out of that squad

Imagine blaming a manager that got spurs to a UCL final, SPURS, to a UCL final, when he has a squad who fight over penalties and don't pass it to each other! Even Pep couldn't coach those frauds to a win!

Players you can depend on... Reece, Silva, Colwill, Fofana, Gusto, Palmer, Nkunku were not on the pitch. There are good players for any coach to come in and make a really good team... but the medical crew are a poison

Espn giving a pass for pochettino for disaster of a season inspite of spending 1 billion. Where as the entire yesterday segment was for bashing ten hag inspite of reaching fa cup final and finishing higher. Double standards by these so called pundits.

Chelsea’s about to have records on both ends.. least goals conceded in a season and most goals in a season.

Stop putting pressure on the kid Nico is not a striker, the guy is a winger. Chelsea should sign a striker and stop trashing this guy always.

Pochettino is either giving excuse or throwing the players under the bus. Just listen to him: 'Soft' Chelsea 'gave up' in Arsenal loss. All comes to the fact that he doesn't have the hunger of winning cups. If he had won trophies, I bet you he would have demanded high standard and clear way of playing, which after ten months never exist. He has s not the right manager for Chelsea for sure.

some coaches make silly mistakes. Arteta should have let go bayern match and won penultimate match against aston villa. It was a match arsenal needed more than bayern match to brighten up its chances of winning current Premiership. as an arsenal fan, i knew it woukd be difficult to defeat bayern at home.
