    Nothing wrong with the performance other than giving the ball away for the goal.

    Once again our corner sets up their attack and we concede a goal from it. I think we could be in for another nightmare.

    Shocking defending of a set piece

    Games over.

    Even their full backs can carve through us.

    Utterly powder puff against virtually every team higher than us all season.

    Rolled over and had our tummy tickled time and again.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    The tactic of shutting up shop never works eventually the big teams always find a way. Not sure if we got a Plan B
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Why wasn't that a pen???? Fabrages moved towards the ball and it hit his arm....

    Atmosphere sounds terrible, can hear the players shouting ;weep

    Ayew for Feghouli
    Byram for Noble

    Go 4-3-3. my Recommendation anyway
  • HantshammerHantshammer
    Is it just me or do we keep passing backwards een when the implest pass is forwrds??
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    i know we are 2 down but I still feel we could get something from the game...

    Reid off

    We spend so much time dithering and then give the ball away. Nearly cost another goal

    I do not agree, it sounds good on the TV and was getting texts saying that I'm missing a good atmosphere.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I think we've played well, a mistake by Nobes and some very good attacking on the break by them and a mess up at a corner.

    We deserve a goal I think.

    Yes, we are loosing to what will be the the champions but we are not terrible.

    This is just stupid we are repeating the same thing over and over and getting nowhere tactically woeful.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Nothing positive has happened all game then?
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Heart and endeavour but brains like a siv. Surely Slaven can see crossing the ball is doing nothing, zilch. Cahill / Luiz have had Carroll in their backpocket completely.

    I doubt they are Twist, I think it as I have already said and have had confirmed, Sky turn the sound down when the crowd are cussing.

    I think the squads being what they are we can rule out anything from the top 6 teams as we are way way behind them.
    There were some positives but I think we are far too slow and labouring in everything we do which means generally we lose the ball and teams like Chelsea are at our throats before we know it.
    We made very bad mistakes which cost us two goals tonight and you just can't do it against the top teams.

    Beaten by the champions elect..
    We didn't cave in but didn't create enough, also down to their excellent defending..
    Both goals were soft , but not gutted with our performance, disappointed we got nothing, but fair result IMO ..
    A few injuries / knocks, just hope they are minor / precautionary ..
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Pains me to say it, but Chelsea are a very good team. We didn't get rolled over, but they were very much in control.
  • HantshammerHantshammer
    Well we never got rolled over but they were too classy for us. Not sure what Bilic sees in Fernandes but my main gripe is with our back passing and Noble taking free kicks too quickly putting team mates under pressure without looking for a better option.
  • HantshammerHantshammer
    Is Fletcher injured? Would have liked him to have come on instead of Fernandes
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I think we played pretty well and the effort and pace of the game which we pretty much kept up shows we have a great attitude at present which means for me that Slav is doing his job well.

    The downside is that the gulf in class between top 4-5 and the middle 8-9 is getting bigger once again. We played well and we gave it all we had but we do not have the class players that Chelsea have and that tells over 90 minutes despite effort and attitude.

    Imagine if we heard tomorrow we were signing just one of Hazard, Luiz, Costa (?) Willian, Kante, or Cahill, we would be ecstatic, and yet Chelsea fielded them all this evening. I cant fault ourselves but slightly depressed we are so behind the top teams once again after bridging the gap last season.
