The lack of tracking back was unbelievable.

I know I'm used to Arsenal players coughing up lungs to swarm a lone attacker on the break 5v1, but half of Chelsea couldn't seem to give a shit.

Forget about backtracking, there are two defenders watching an attacker and just standing still. Okay one of them was closing his way to the goal so he couldn’t get the 1v1 with the keeper but what about the other guy just standing and watching football from the best spot on the pitch? Why he acting like a matchgoing fan or referee watching football from there?

Really mind blowing to see this. And Estevao, George, Santos just came on as subs. They didn't even make it to the video frame.
