first of all, to those who are reading the forums and thinking of becoming a BMer, believe it or not it's not compulsory to find fault with everyone including the manager, and even the kit-man....inevitably it gets a bit ott, after a drop-off from the 24 carat stuff we now demand of every game.
From a kfa point of view, the two Silvas were starved of opportunity to play the one-two's that create something out of nothing . Chelsea squeezed the area we normally dominate, showed grit and worked hard. Two teams on the pitch, obvious, but sometimes gets forgotten in the inquest.
I think the expectations of quite a few, that KdB will come back and hit peak form straightaway is a bit optimistic, fantastic player though he is. We have won so often without him, he is really the cherry on a very tasty cake
