Under the lights, just before Christmas so it’ll be a big atmosphere

If all those remaining seats sell

There's a lot of positives and negatives from that today.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

First win in 5 for Chelsea.

4 wins in 6 for us if we’re doing stats

Weird game today

They played like the away team and were ruthless and clinical on the counter attack
We created loads and were as far away from clinical as can be. On balance we should be walking away with something from Grealish sliding in, Ndiaye hitting the post, Barry sliding in, Tarks header, Grealish header, Ndiaye air shot, Grealish first half chance, Alcaraz late on… how on earth did we not score!?

MotM - no clue. no idea. name out of a hat.

Fans.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Weird than Alcarez and Barry are getting most of the grief today.

I mean he isn’t wrong is he? You get what you get with Moyes. It’s bland and mediocre but safe from the relegation fight. Fan bases tire of it very quickly.

With the squad as it currently is, not sure what fans expect? If there are zero injuries and other teams falter, maybe we could be in a fight for Europe but our squad isn’t comparable to a lot of the teams in the League at this point.

Going to take a couple more years at least to get to the level required.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

To bridge the gap we need new fullbacks and a decent centre forward. Its nothing we didnt know. But games like this just rams it home.

It’s that simple

 

[JammyP]

No disgrace, but could have been a draw. Hope KDH is not serious

 

[Kayj]

We’ve played reasonably well without scoring. We’ve played a hell of a lot worse than that at Chelsea over the years.

The usual brain fart finishing though is costing us dearly.

Had our opportunities for sure but the losing mentality we've had for what seems like forever now kicked in.

Tis a work in progress, we're a hell of a lot better than we were not so long ago.

Onwards and upwards.

 

[Zatara]

KDH going off injured forced Gana to do his job, Gana failed twice tracking back and Chelsea scored from them both.

That was Gana's job from minute 1

 

[johnjoeefc]

Its where we are as a team. Will only get harder now ndiaye is gone too. We will be scrapping away but can see us being around 12th by the time the afcon is over. Just need to stay in touch really

 

[DanEFC92]

Feels like we won't win at Stamford Bridge in my lifetime. Cursed ground.

 

[Frenk]

Fanbases also go from delirium after a great run of deserved wins and clean sheets to “30 more years of this crap, I can’t take it any more. Boooooooo. Same every week, we are horrible. Every player is garbage, and Pickford needs replacing,” In the space of a week.

Losing away at supposed title contenders Chelsea which could have put us in the top 4, after spurning a few good chances ourselves, is not how I will be judging this season.

I just think he seems to shoot himself in the foot quite a lot. I think he could have been far more successful as a manager.

 

[Titus Shambles]

Under the lights, just before Christmas so it’ll be a big atmosphere

Until we're 3-0 down inside 20 minutes and everyone has left and gone home by half time

 

[Zatara]

Garner

Garner or Alcaraz imo

The rest apart from Ndiaye & Dibling were horrific.
