Yup not a very good 45 minutesfor him. Lets hope the other 45 are better!:mourthumb:

Without Son, Kane and Le Celso, we often look so weak.

I had very high hopes for Bergwijn but he has been so disappointing. I hope he picks up.
Lamela is putting in that extra shift but he's also losing the ball too much because he does not pass quickly.

I have a feeling this game is going to be the opposite of Sunday's game. We did all the playing yet 'lost'. Today, perhaps despite playing poorly, we'll snatch a win. Let's hope my hunch is right.
 
Agree, hadn't looked on here at all and feel like people are watching a different game than I am. Also Chelsea's XI is clearly much closer to their starting XI than ours.

One thing is clear though, anybody who doesn't think a second choice striker is an absolute necessity observe that first 45.

Not sure why we send young strikers out on loan before we get a back up striker in here first. Surely Parrott would have been better than no cf at all
 
Well at least Mou's gameplan has kinda worked seeing as Chelsea have only had 1 shot that I can remember. Just typical that we can put 4 men in front of it and it still will find the bottom corner with Hugo no chance.
Interestingly, if you break down the passage of play leading to the goal after Reguilon's cock up, there are two or three moments we could have easily defended it with a bit of luck.

- If Reguilon stayed on his feet
- if the pass to Werner gets intercepted (Gedson almost blocks it)
- if Werner's shot is off target or gets blocked by the several players between him and goal

Despite that they've created very little. It's not an awful performance by us defensively. If/when Kane comes on and helps our attack we might just be in for a pleasant surprise.
