A Chelsea player has admitted that they only have themselves to blame after failing to beat Qarabag last night.
Chelsea were 1-0 up in the game after a lovely finish from Estevao Willian, but they then ended up giving away two cheap goals to allow Qarabag to take the lead. They were then saved by an Alejandro Garnacho goal after he came on as a sub at half time.
SOURCES! Chelsea are weighing up new move for Newcastle United player!
Chelsea were very bad in the first half but got better in the second half. Qarabag were very impressive and didn’t deserve to be the losing side at all and a draw was a justified and deserved result for them.
But Blues fans would have been embarrassed by some of the defending that they once again saw from their side, handing two goals to the opponents really.
And a draw against Qarabag, whether they played well or not, is just simply not good enough for a club like Chelsea.
James reacts
Captain Reece James has been left disappointed by the performance of his team.
‘Yes it’s disappointing,’ a frustrated James said when speaking post-match in the media zone. ‘Coming here we wanted to win, of course.
‘We set up pretty strong and we started well, got ourselves in front and then it’s disappointing to let it slip. The goals we conceded weren’t good from our perspective. We gave away a penalty and a goal that we really gifted them.
‘It’s disappointing. We didn’t adapt well enough to certain situations and the goals we’ve conceded, it’s from our own sloppy play. That’s something, collectively, we need to improve on going forward.
‘The momentum changed with their goal and simply, we didn’t do enough. We had chances towards the end to win the game, but we didn’t take them and we only have ourselves to blame in not taking all three points.’
Amazing Estevao
‘Estevao is an amazing player and he has the world at his feet,’ James said of our first goalscorer.
‘He’s still so young and it’s on us to keep him grounded, protect him and make sure he stays healthy. He’s got a lot of development sill to come but we’re super happy with his performances and to have him here with us.’
