It's about how defenders keep on leaving a man so wide open "in the slot", at the penalty spot while ball-watching. Gotta be aware of your surroundings.

Seems Chelsea can’t struggle at all v a forward press. It’s been like this for a while
2 very good assists too. Both Modric and that mid-height ball from Vini
I actually like Micah Richards a lot, but it does feel like he's barely got a clue of what he's talking about at times.
Chelsea had a god-tier Kante playing for them last season but he's not been great as of late.
Also, for United fans, take a close look at how above average players cross a ball... Look closely into RM's crosses vs ours... World of difference. Always been a great srength they have had in the last decade.
Quite just as painful. Benzema’s longevity still tops it for me
Real Madrid’s passing is so sublime tonight.
These games just confirming my fear of it being one of Pool or City who win this. Chelsea such a weird team this season.
Chelsea are a bit shite aren’t they?
Yeah, him and Jorginho have both seemed replaceable this year. No idea why Kovacic didn't start.
Chelsea need to put a man on Benzema, he is tearing them apart from deep and arriving late into the box with nobody close to him. Easier said than done, but at this rate, he’ll bag 4 by full time.
Real Madrid can be so odd. When they play like this they can be a match for anyone in Europe and potential winner and then they can play like they did against Barcelona and look so lethargic
Are Chelsea's season collapsing?
How much must Chelsea regret the Lukaku signing
They are
Benzema was injured against Barca.
I remember seeing this an just thinking how out of this world that goal was. Even now.
La liga is a bit wank. These lads only get really motivated on European stage.
Yeah he made Dalot look like Gary Neville in his retirement game vs West Brom.
Would be lovely, so they drop points and somehow we get top 4, but no hope with our shower of sh.., I mean world class players.
They're a genuinely great side but the CL win last season made them ridiculously overrated. That was a perfect storm
Nah, he was all about Real Madrid. If he was more interested in United, he would have gone there as SAF was all over him, crap weather or not. French people, for whatever reason, don't seem to really dream of playing in England as much as for Real Madrid or Barcelona.
As great as Karim is, I don't think he would have changed too much in that game.
He was criticised by pro-Madrid press around then as well. One of those guys that performed almost every season, and the two of them he didn't, he merited some support but yet everyone even Madrid fans pounded him, but I know that's how the world goes in football.
Mount is the weak link in this setup.
Kante and havertz should be linked up more often and Mount should do that.

Shitshow from Bayern and not improving so far. Can't handle their intensity at all, even situations without immediate pressure are a festival of misweighted passes or glaring misunderstandings between players. Feels like the cup game against Gladbach, although the score is much friendlier so far.
Thiago made a mess of that
Chelsea 1, Kai
Game on
Game on. Is it a headers-only mode they’re playing?
They won the Champions League not that long ago.
But Tuchel is a genius. People basing his career on one game, a shootout final, free hit and he won it as much as City lost it. Since then what's he done?
Kai header.
Damn, this is shaping up to be a great 2nd half with 1-2.
Can't lose hope dear
