I’ve said this before you can’t keep rotating the defence.

Only 4 fit first team defenders today so it wasn't really a question of rotation. The back 4 picked itself. Trouble was a couple of them had poor games.

Fantastic game, very disappointing not to win but defensively we were far too flaky today. Dias had a poor game and Gvardiol was at fault for their second goal. But I will take a point as Chelsea are a decent side who will cause problems for a lot of teams. As for Palmer he's a good player without a doubt, but he has no class.

I had a feeling of foreboding about this match, with Sterling & Palmer having something to prove. Both played excellent today & affected the in game play & goals.

Defensively we were fuckin shocking! We expect maybe one bad defensive slip up per match, but THREE? The only goal I thought was unavoidable was Tiago's header, the rest we should've dealt with.

Walker, Gvardiol & Dias looked uncharacteristically nervous all match. No excuses, as we rested many players midweek. Chelsea threw everything into the match, with home advantage, so getting a point away at Stamford Bridge is nothing to sniff at.

I'm fuckin gutted, but also concerned for matches like this because apart from Grealish, we had no game changers on the bench.

The season's got a long way to go, & we go into yet ANOTHER International break a point ahead of the rest at least.

The season's been a slog so far & we've got the Club World Cup coming up. We've got King Kev & Stones to come back which will hopefully add to our impetus, & no CL until February.

We pick ourselves up & dust ourselves off. Chelsea had to be at their maximum to match us at their ground in shit conditions, but we know we can do far far better than today, ESPECIALLY defensively!

I’ll say 2 goals bc gvardiol was responsible for the Sterling on

He loses the ball under minimal pressure for their second trying to make a rash clearance from walkers header, the goal comes from this mistake meaning hes absolutely at fault, but yes Gvardiol should have done much better also

Some miserable fuckers on here.

Great game. You can’t win them all and when you don’t, just make sure you don’t lose. Chelsea are coming into form and I can see them doing decent from now until the end of the season.

Tbf they struggled to see off a spurs team with 9 MEN!!

Would have took a point all day. We weren't at it all evening. Point gained.

We were awful at the back. All we had to do was see the game out. 2 points dropped for me

And me.

Teams raise their game against us. Well, most of them do.

Do you expect them to lie down?

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

That’s what happens with injuries.

What injuries? Give them some inhalers and march them right back on

 

[Gibblue]

Grealish should’ve started :(

Why we were winning when he came on
