You have to question how long they been ‘fans’

We were not at our best and Chelsea were vastly improved with Gallagher having a stormer of a game. I have been a fan for 70 years and will never take anything for granted.

All I know is we were shocking and barley deserved a point.

Nah we deserved what we got. Less than a draw would have been unfair given the second half performance.

We play high risk and reward footy and mostly it works out well. All of us have to accept that now and again we'll leave the back door open in pursuit of goals.

So long as no-one's thinking of smashing them in.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I am a new, American female fan - so like the trifecta of annoying - and sometimes I feel like I’m the only positive one here. I like the new players, I’m fine with 1-0 wins, I don’t worry about goal differential in February, I’m fine if we don’t start the CL final XI in every game. And yet, I’ve been told I’m not a real fan because I don’t moan enough! I’m not sure which level of moaning is appropriate. This should be in the forum FAQs. Haha.

I dont think at which level of moaning is appropriate....just give it your best shot, that's all we ask. :)

We have two trophies in the bag and three still to play for. Our striker has been out for two months and still tops the scoring charts. We had the chances yesterday and the conditions were a great leveller - we play the ball on the deck most of the time but couldn't do that yesterday to any effect. On another day, some of those chances go in. The crowd was magnificent yesterday - the team couldn't have tried harder.

Now careful, now, you'll be called a “happy clapper” next. Whatever the hell that means.

I am aMAIZEd at your opinion.

You'll cob a few with that.

We just looked a bit Leggy yesterday and nobody can moan really, This team and Squad have been going hard for 4 or 5 seasons and it can not keep going on, There will be an end to all this glory and winning titles and cups every season. You can start to see little signs and then pick up on the smallest details, This season it's been hard to keep on the coattails of Liverpool and Arsenal, but somehow we have just done enough to still be in the fight,

Maybe it's man management by Pep and the control or trying to slow down the burnout and have some in the bank for the Big games we will face, We are still Good enough to face up to anybody and win home and away, But you need legs and to be fresh because nobody doubts the quality we still have.

We're at too much a critical stage of the season for Pep to continue to tinker with the side. Akanji moving into the midfield is a dud, just not working so no need to continue with it. Alvarez playing alongside Kev doesn't work, he looks completely lost so why continue with it Pep?. Phil on the right is 50% of Phil playing through the middle.
My ideal midfield five at this stage would be, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Bernardo. De Bruyne and Foden through the middle, Doku Left, Bernardo right. Also a big case for Bobb to get a little run of games on the right side

Maybe because the opposition penalty area is always packed with 10 bodies in it?

Eleven bodies actually. And Chelsea have spent a billion from quite a high starting position. Certainly from a higher position than, say, Luton if they could spend a billion.
Chelski rode their luck with our misses and VAR decisions.
Wonder if Howard Red will say we'll not see another decision ignored like the Caicedo tackle just as he said we'll never see another offside not given like the one at old toilet last season.

"Chelsea came to do one thing yesterday and nearly got away with it"

If Chelsea had a top class striker they would have won the game by half time.

And only a brave and quality save from Ederson kept us in the game.

stats don't show that. They come for a point.
