OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 This could get ugly in a hurry. It wouldn't have gone unnoticed that the top 3 all scored 4 yesterday. We've been too timid, we may as well have just gone for broke because we have done very little with the ball despite the lion's share of possession.
St Chalet Posted 30 October, 2016 Author Posted 30 October, 2016 Martina doing the funky chicken in reverse. Unless we get one in next 10, let's give Austin, Bertrand and Romeu a breather for Thursday night.
BotleySaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 To be fair the amount of money they throw at the team and the world class players are making the difference today. We just can't compete with that!
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 When was the last time Froster made a really top drawer save? Fair enough it was a decent enough shot from Costa, but FF didn't get even slightly close to it.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Nothing to panic about, it's our annual home defeat to Chelsea. But who knows, keep our heads and plug away and we might create something.
Batman Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 To be fair the amount of money they throw at the team and the world class players are making the difference today. We just can't compete with that! we can and we generally do.
DT Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 They are so much more incisive than us. End of story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
JakkoUK Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 A think it's more of a case that this is Chelsea we are playing and they are a pretty decent side. We've done well to make them stand off and defend against us. Not game over yet, but lots of positives to take so far.
nta786 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 That's the difference a bit of quality finishing makes. This x100 Martina attempt to block though, looks hilarious Chelsea know how to do us over in our yard, must have one of the best records since we got promoted- 3 wins, a draw and 1 defeat is what they have.
Batman Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Clasie off, Boufal on got to be a slight change of shape?
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Boufal on Is a hattrick too much to ask for?
Dalek2003 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Chelski taking the **** now. We need to tighten up on this game.

verlaine1979 Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 That's the difference a bit of quality finishing makes. If you think the difference in this game is just down to finishing, you're not watching closely enough. Chelsea have tried to stretch us every time they've had the ball, and as a result they've forced us to make mistakes and won fouls. We've largely played around in front of them because (as Andy Townsend observed at the start of the second half) our midfield and wide attack are not brave enough on the ball.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 So surprised to get a break there we didn't really know what to do with it.
Mr X Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 We have no fire Power plenty of possession & not a single shot on target! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Loved Romeo's full blooded challenge at the end of that sequence for Chelsea.
Edmonton Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Why do we let Davis take free kicks and corners. Absolute gash.
DT Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Lambert would have buried that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint Albert Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Headed chance for Austin from a nice Bertrand cross.
Saint Billy Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Why do we let Davis take free kicks and corners. Absolute gash. Yep, I feel your pain, it frustrates the sh*t out of me.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Why do we let Davis take free kicks and corners. Absolute gash. He's had a shocker today. May as well have just picked JWP.

JakkoUK Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Martina looks completely out of his depth in this game I'm afraid. Poor guys being ripped apart.
DT Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Romeu has been excellent again on the positive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Yes, it would have been useful to keep Pelle or at least buy another striker Do you reckon we could have competed with the wages the Chinese club are paying him?
Plastic Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Think we've looked worse in the second half. Less competitive, and quite frustrated. Chelsea are a good team though.
alpine_saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 More dropped points because we are clueless at putting the ball in the net
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Better to have a poor game vs one of the title contenders and not the ones around us in the table I guess.
Edmonton Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Yep in a game where chances are always likely to be at a premium , surely it would be advantageous to start JWP for his deadball ability alone. We have wasted so many corners and free kicks today its almost criminal.
OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 More dropped points because we are clueless at putting the ball in the net Do you even watch the games?
trousers Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 More dropped points because we are clueless at putting the ball in the net FFS....why couldn't you have posted that an hour OK....? We'd have been out of sight by now....

OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 The archetypal answer to everything.. So 'no' then.
Saint Albert Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Hojberg and McQueen on for Bertrand and Tadic
St Chalet Posted 30 October, 2016 Author Posted 30 October, 2016 The archetypal answer to everything.. It was actually a question. Feel free to answer it.

OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 It was actually a question. Feel free to answer it. We'd like to know because many many times this season, from the comments he posts it's clear he's not even watching and just reacting to the score. Be critical yes, we've been second best today and severely outclassed, but to just knee-jerk post nonsense is bewildering.
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Posted 30 October, 2016 Interesting Puel would rather rest Bertrand than Austin.
