Of course he has.

another goal conceded after playing out from the back backfired
This makes Ten Hags tactics from last season look sane.
Palmer has been fantastic but this has been entirely self-inflicted by Brighton (even the free kick, amazing as it was, was earned as a result of Brighton's stupidity). Just a horror show of a performance. Palmer could get 6 here if Brighton don't change their tactics at the half.
Cucurella has got to be more careful there. Another day and that's a second yellow.
I don't know why but I feel like this Brighton manager and Ange come from that FM school of thought where high line attacking system is the best tactic to use in that game. 
Chelsea are scary good in attack and they've even got a tune out of Sancho
Our result against Brighton looks worse by the minute. They're terrible. Credit to Chelsea for capitalising but Brighton are as bad as any team I've seen this season
This is the worst I’ve seen Brighton play. Chelsea haven’t even been particularly good.
Quality player.
Total goals in this game - we going below or above 10?
Are Chelsea back?
More like your terrorist of a manager never managed to get one out of him.
Chelsea attacking with a 424 because they know any long ball and they're in.
They did not play this poorly/stupidly against you. By far the worst they've been this season.
Palmer is just ridiculous.
Not sure, but they are entertaining.
Welbeck should have made it 4-3
Arsenal with a second. Trossard.
3 assists in 3 games for Chelsea in 24/25.
3 assists in 41 games for United in 22/23.
3 assists in 38 games for United in 21/22.
Maybe, but shows how easily they lose their heads.
Brighton have been asking questions whenever they go forward though. That Chelsea backline is weak
If it was against us he would have.
Used to put on Arsenal games for an entertaining game to watch as a neutral. Safe to say that spot is taken over by Chelsea.
Yeah fair enough, should’ve known better
Chelsea defense rather suspect. Not sure how that will hold up in the bigger games.
Very routine for Arsenal. Nothing to worry for them today
No idea how there could be an offside check on that goal
Arsenal will finally win the PL.
I was wondering what they were looking at too..No idea how there could be an offside check on that goal
Hope so
Chelsea is just scoring for fun. I thought they might be the surprise team of the season. Defensively quite frail though.
Did Sherwood ask if palmer is the first player ever to score 4 goals in a half?
Lewandowski got 5 in 9 minutes once.
Lewandowski got 5 in 9 minutes once.
People will bill them as a “surprise” team if they finish top 4 when with the money spent they shouldn’t be. I guess they’ve been shite the last 2 years.
Jorginho has a great influence even when he doesn't play, you can see him shouting instructions while warming up. White is not a very vocal player, lead by example kind of guy.
I don't know what back four is the best. It's only Leicester but Calafiori's positioning today seems to do a lot of good for Martinelli. Shades of Xhaka. When all 3 are fit i think White starts because he activates Saka like no one else. Timber at LB is the most solid solution, Calafiori for the easier games and rotation. Great problem to have for Arteta !
Why you using that example and not Ole?
What is it about Chelsea that brings out the completely suicidal opposition tactics (Wolves were similarly open)? Am I missing something? Also, there is no way Maresca actually wants his team to play like this. They've got the results but there's been so much variance and so little control despite all the goals.
Yea, they're exposing Brighton's suicidal high line very well but have been similarly terrible at the back themselves. Brighton could easily have had another goal themselves.
Sounds fun.
Don't be a clown.
