Having a corner is no advantage to us, never ever do fuck all with them!!!!!
Good post.We were away at Chelsea, had 20% more possession, had more than twice as many shots as them, more than twice as many on target, hit the bar & missed a sitter at the end.
They put together 2-3 decent attacks & scored twice from a deflection & a rebounded missed penalty. They're a very solid & clinical team, and that's why they're deserved champions.
We weren't fantastic, especially in the second half, but it was far from the shambles we put together every big game last season - no doubt we have obvious weaknesses & areas to improve next season, but for me I like to at least take note of the progress. Improve the personnel in key areas & I'm optimistic we'll start winning these games next season rather than repeatedly falling into the same traps.
Sorry but Chelsea let us have the ball as much as we liked up to the edge of their area in the 2nd half, confident that they could keep us out. Possession doesn't make us the better team, a better team doesn't concede two bad goals like we did and a better team would have more inventiveness when confronted by a massed defence..Talking out your arse, best team lost today, you're deluded if you think differently.
Pep wouldn't have done what Conte did in that second half to see out the game if it was the other way round and that just about sums it up. Its happened countless times this season where the team has let leads slip especially that tottenham home game.
