[heslops barnet]

We drew.

A point before the game would of taken

 

[RayCTID]

Really poor today, thought Pep would have the answers but he didnt

Not on Pep. Indvidual error cost us the 3 points.

 

[Tracking back]

Diaz you plumb

You can't blame Diaz for that.

We failed to manage the game in midfield at 3-4 and it cost us a late penalty.

 

[Bluewars]

He's half the player without Stones. Complete lack of composure all game.

No, that's unfair, he's our best pure defender, he's just had an absolute stinker, bad result, we move.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

10 years back we d bite someones hand off for a draw at the bridge.
Happy with a point, usual over reactions in matchday thread.

I know other teams may get better results against the chavs but we re still in control and mentally stronger than all challengers, 2, who we ve already proven that to.

 

[DTKOAG]

Even after the Rodri goal I felt that they would score again.
A very disappointing defensive display in general.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Great game for the neutral but two points lost not one point gained

Spurs got beat by them and Arsenal and Liverpool both dropped points as well so you have just got to see it as par with our rivals imo. They're a decent side, they'll take more points off other rivals this season.

 

[kanovic]

God the sky interview of Palmer and Sterling was painful to watch. What a shite interview

 

[ID70]

Poor performance, passing particularly at the back was terrible

 

[Mad_fer_it]

2 points dropped. I hope they're fucking hurting after this. Poor concentration conceding that penalty. Fucking crimal. Better win against the dippers.

Carragher is a total **** btw. Go and fall on a spike to spitting piece of shit. Bullshit commentary.

 

[PragueBlue]

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.

 

[Withnail]

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.

 

[Dribble]

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!

 

[Blue2202]

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

 

[come-on-barney]

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!!

 

[spacecadet]

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

 

[69FACUPfinal]

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

And me.

 

[B\connellblue]

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
