Not too sure if we were poor or Chelsea were exceptionally good. A win’s a win and we had to win this one, but after what happened two weeks ago I was hoping for a much better reaction from the players. It was all a bit lacklustre again, with the main difference to previous performances being that we didn’t actually create that many chances. Credit to Chelsea though, they’re the best side we’ve faced this season.
After we went 1-0 down the players were standing around letting Chelsea play. No pressing whatsoever. We got pretty lucky with the goal in fairness, it came at the right time and there was a massive deflection but they obviously all count. Momentum was with us after that and thankfully we got another one when we had our best phase of the game. I was frustrated with Mahrez early on but his goal was class and was ultimately the difference tonight.
On another note, what on earth is going on with all these injuries? Questions need to be asked of the fitness/medical staff, we’re losing a player a game, it’s beyond a joke now.
