2716316, The first half was absolutely atrocious for Chelsea

And the problem starts with starting Jorginho. A midfield of Barkley, Mount, and Jorginho is going to lead to no command of the midfield, especially on defense.

And with a back 4 that is shaky, that is going to put even more pressure on the line.

Selection was all wrong, Kovacic should have gotten the start, and the formation should have been a 4-5-1, instead of 4-3-3. There is no direct movement to get the ball to Tammy.

Willian and Reece James got totally burned on that second goal. Out dribbled down the flank, and allowed service into the box, and the CBs didn't cover the runner. Kepa made a difficult save, but the rebound went straight to the striker for the tap in

And Mount has been all over the place, and unable to hold on to the ball. Pulisic has been fair, but coughing up the ball as well.

The lineup and formation has this team playing wacky....

Bring in Kovacic and RLC, have barkley and Kov as the back two mids, RLC as the attacking mid, pulisic and willian on the wings....and get more direct with getting the ball to tammy
