Lukaku and ross are passengers

it was great work from Lukaku in the build up to the second goal. Ross hasn't been bad either, got another assist to his name !

That Matic rooster has only scored 2 PL goals...both against us!

 

[Steve Wigan]

Lennon or Mirallas on for Kone ASAP for the counter

Problem with that is Kone has been our best defender at Chelsea corners...some great clearing headers.

 

[ilikecheese]

Disappointed in the crowd...expected a much angrier bunch

 

[longers]

Reckon it's going to be a really long second half, they are going to step it up for sure

 

[Billy Dean]

Barkley doesn't look on it. Couple of times had the chance to drive at them and he turned back. Looks like he's lacking confidence

 

[Norwegian Cow]

So weird to write this, but Naismith, Barry and Kone along with Galloway have been outstanding.

We need to score again, otherwise i don't see us winning tbh

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Agreed. Maybe what Martinez was saying about a golden generation is true eh?

God I hope so!

Amazing how mentality effects the game. Playing some brilliant football possibly some of the best in recent years. 2 well deserved goals. Crowd up for it. bang a long range goal from the Russians and everything changes. Intensity off the ball really important as the Russians are going to come out flying. Naismith goal was was of the best team goals I've seen in a while.

Er..

I know mate, embarrassing stuff from me.

Disappointed in the crowd...expected a much angrier bunch

not much to be angry about at moment

 

[Barca Blue]

Need to get Del on, we need an outlet.COYBB

Great first half. Big shame Matic had to score that. He won't hit a better one and it's really changed the game.

We have to answer with some kind of change of our own here. As it's going on, Chelsea will win this game if this continues into the second half.

I get the feeling howard has to be on his game second half ............. expecting star jumps galore though .... nailbiting
