Decent first half. Now let's not get them back into the game. Keep playing football and don't lean back too much.

Chelsea will score at some point... Need another. I'd go with a crazy move at this point and put Dibling on to try and give us a better outlet. Can see us sitting deeper and deeper as time goes on

Is it crazy if McNeil's not touched the ball for the first 45?

McNeils done nothing down the right.

We have games where we do the opposite each half so lets see how we come out.

Hard to play anyone against Cucurella with O'Brien behind offering no support.

Happy with the scoreline at HT, and can’t fault the collective effort but we will *never* finish off games early while we insist on a CB at RB, playing a washed up destroyer at CM and a slow, very left-footed player at RW.

It makes for such ponderous, predictable build up.

I strongly doubt any of the things you mentioned will be our issue in the 2nd half. Great finish from Beto but ultimately our downfall will be his lack of pace and more importantly his woeful ability to hold the ball up.

Good first half, we were better for the most part, their best chances on set pieces.

Chelsea have no teeth in attack, just need to keep our shape.

 

[DJH4]

The beto goal was very close to offside

Perfectly timed, pass, and run.

 

[kenada_blue]

Spot on.

Terrible at dominating his own 6 yard box...one of the worst in the PL at that IMO.

I find it bizarre the entire league struggle with corners nowadays

Chelsea's passing game has been worse than ours.

Usually we play any PL team and their passing to feet will be far superior.

They had a good 5 minutes or so about 30 minutes into he game but haven't looked arsed.

We need to get the second and put this to bed early second half.

 

[LABlue2]

If JOB can’t link up, might as well get Dibling on and have him just run at the full back and hope for the best

 

[blue to the bone]

What happened?

They have crowd noise more or less muted .

 

[Frenk]

Is Glen trying to make out we are winning because of Chelsea.

 

[eugene03]

What a pass. What a finish.

That’s the ball he’s been looking for all year

Is it crazy if McNeil's not touched the ball for the first 45?

Its crazy how underappreciated he is..... Would Arsenal have scored had he stayed on the pitch last week?? Nothing going down the left side for Chelsea either.
