Chelsea aren’t as good as these commentators are making out. We’ll snatch a 1-1 here.

 

[Preki]

Just don't concede another soft goal and we've got a chance. Unfortunately their bench is ludicrously stacked so it's a big ask.

 

[riddick]

We don't look like the entertainers but I don't think we look terrible. There's more goals in this, absolutely.

No one ever needs a mcgeady tbh

I was laughing as I typed, but we're not even trying!

 

[Jim Hopper]

Holgate messed us up. Lad has lost his head in this game.

 

[Bigduke1234]

Hopefully that was the bad half. I mean we’re still in it, second half blitz

 

[Amw79]

Chelsea looking strong. Quick in the tackle and passing it well. We were a bit Unlucky with the goal, but thought afterwards we got on the front foot a bit more.

Still well in it, need Richy and DCL to put themselves about 2nd half. COYB.

 

[Del-boy]

This female commentator an Chelsea player or something. Some of the most biased commentary Iv heard for a while.

 

[lungo]

Honestly think we should be fining Gomes a month's wages every time he shoots. What's the point in him?

Gomes was ok in the first half. 100% improvement to the WBA match.

 

[Pabbers]

Few people saying that we should be 5 down though are they?

Just the same frustrations as always, lack of ball and lack of courage on the ball. Everything is just so safe and negative in possession. I dont think people would mind losing possession more if it was trying to be productive on the ball.

45mins in and Godfrey's done the most ambitious drive on the ball on the touchline.

but thats how we set up...try to be hard to break down and hope to nick one.
Like it or no thats how we currently play.
Few reasons for it, but still. Its what an italian manager will look to do first, defend well.

 

[Kylito]

Threw an in play free bet on Havertz first goalscorer knowing that anyone who hasn’t scored in ages obviously always does against us and it still somehow didn’t pay out lollollol

 

[mightymoyes]

Holgate at fault for the goal. Switched off.

Haven't been THAT bad except for Iwobi and Richarlison stinking the place out.

Holgate cack too

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

This aint that bad. When you consider last week our biggest weakness was down our right, today is the same and next week will be exactly the same....we are still in this and can still get something out of this

 

[Dykovski200]

I just wish we would pass it forward, I know we can’t do it all the time but there were a few instances where we could have.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Maybe romanticizing, but this team really could use a Mirallas or Deulofeu... hell, even a McGeady. Pacey players that can make a run and actually beat somebody. Feels like our team is made up of physical players (DCL, Richarlison) or more technical playmakers (Gomes, Sigurdsson, Digne), and sometimes we just need somebody to make a run at the defense and not lose the ball IMMEDIATELY.

I really still believe that could be Iwobi but he's not comfortable on the right at all
