Chelsea (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[69FACUPfinal]

Bad day at the office. Both Haaland and Kevin weren't at their best, especially Haaland. Guess he wasn't sufficiently concentrated due to the death of his grandma. He's only human.

Think we'll win the title. Have had that feeling that it will go to the wire.

Now we know that we won't go to Anfield to play for a draw. Anyway, this team will fight until the end.

Oh I didn't know that, I haven't dissed him just exasperated. Can imagine hit him hard, I know my lad was at rock bottom when my parents passed. XBless him and the family x

Poor.
That was a poor Chelsea team as well. We should have beaten them comfortably. Too many tweaks away from our very best. Julian in central midfield. Phil not involved enough on the left Akanji doing his level best but demonstrating why he can’t play in midfield. Far too much going through Doku and us turning his possession over too easily. Plus Kevin and Erling below par. + Kyle .
Lots to do.
Well done Rodders Ake and Eddie.

It's laughable, and yet I don't feel like laughing

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Don’t be a 5 year old mate.

I'm not. We didn't give everything if we only played well for 45mins. Especially against Chelsea. I would understand that performance if it were a better team, but it's Chelsea.

 

[Paul1970]

Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea
Why didnt this Chelsea turn up today?

Because we allowed them to set up . Liverpool ran then ragged from the start . We both play different styles

 

[Sale Moor Blue]

For all his brilliance Haaland is terrible at headers.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

He's not the player to unlock a back 6. Needs lots of ground to run in to. His crossing is very poor. Hardly ever beats his man. Frustrating player.

There's not many wingers that can "unlock a back six".

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

There are some very embarrassing posts on here, we can’t win every home game and still unbeaten since 2022 at home

 

[Dirty Harry]

Could have been worse.

 

[Tolmie scores]

Not beaten a top 5 side all season.

Flat track bullys.

Its been on a lot of peoples minds all season.. definitely less control makes winning so much harder. I mean the sweat and tool it took to get an equaliser..at home...v mid table. Don't get me wrong the effort we put in is amazing.even though we look like a huff n puff team this season at times. Interesting re pride v De Arse and da pool

 

[Kippax77]

Oh come on.... it helped with his clearance

 

[WallyA]

No Kovacic or Bernie in the middle means we lack control.

Im not fully convinced of KdB anr Julian in the middle, both are what I consider "numbers" players. If they arent giving goals or assists they arent that useful.

And its difficult forcing both of these players behind another similar in Haaland.

This is why Fodens development this season in the center cant be ignored, he can partner either of these players.

Play Bobb on the wing to do it if you have to.

No more winger Foden.

 

[WickyWain]

Just one of those days. Frustrating, but at least we got a point out of it.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

As many predicted, that line up was too light in the MF and badly exposed our defence, which isn’t amazing at the best of times.

Added to the fact several players having sub par performances…..

I think pep really wants the chumps again and is willing to sacrifice another PL to do it…guess we’ll see

 

[applecentral]

I thought the lads done real well to dig out a point might have snatched it in the end. But like a lot of games this season it had a feel of an end of an era about it. Hope I am wrong but I think we perhaps need a change of direction if we are to stay at the summit over the next few years,

I thought Chelsea were really strong in this game. They are improving now and I predict they will beat the bin dippers in the final next week.

I don't believe you, a pro city commentator doesn't exist!

Channel was Astro sports, Malaysia

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Think some thrive on it. There’s some who are going out of their way to say we wasn’t robbed of a penalty shout (we were) then the added time was right(it wasn’t) and that Chelsea weren’t worthy of going down to 10 (they were)‘I’m sure most aren’t blues on here, convinced of it.

Think some are blues, who are just miserable cunts who want to feel better about being miserable cunts by making every other **** miserable.

 

[East Level 2]

Disappointing but every team will drop points. Still all to play for of course.

Which is what the dippers were saying in 2019. Worked out well for them.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I agree… should’ve been two handballs .

 

[hertsblue]

5 shots on target from 32 attempts today, 3 on target from 19 v Everton is where we are failing. Brentford was a lot better, 15 from 25 but too many games we are on top but don’t get the goals to kill games off.
