If they'd have concentrated on football rather than kicking fook out of the opposition they would have won comfortably.

Discipline was definitely the key mate.

My thoughts five minutes in were I'd be surprised if they'd keep 9 men on the pitch.

Absolute shambles of a club at the moment, they are barely better than the rags in terms of the headless chicken football they play ..

I think this will be the end of our run now. I'm hoping VDV isn't serious but if it's a grade 3 tear then this is worrying, even for his own game in the future. Fingers crossed it's not serious. We will be having a makeshift defence with Udogie and Romero suspended and VDV injured. We have already lost Solomon and Perisic to long term ligament damage too. No word on Maddisons injury either.

Whats the chances you get a top striker in the window? Who do you fancy to go upfront? I know he got a hat-trick but I would reckon it would be ideal for a better one up top. You haven't had a beast since Diego Costa

We've been linked with Toney and Osimhen but for me I have PTSD when it comes to big money strikers. I have been burnt by Shevchenko, Torres, Morata and Lukaku. Both Toney and Osimhen look like certified flops if they join Chelsea :)

I do like Jackson though. He's raw and very inexperienced but at the same time he has a lot of tools that, if developed and coached, he could turn into a top player.

I actually think the game was going to even out. They were on top the first 15 mins, we were on top the following 10 mins and then they completely imploded. Before the game I had this down as a 1-1 and the way the game was going before the first red card, I still think it would have ended in a draw.

Bloody hell. What a game. I actually felt we should have won that.

But a point against the best team in the world is a good point.

Very true. Fair result in the end.

Interesting to see if Chelsea turn-up when it's different opposition!

The last 2 games should give them confidence looking ahead. They may consistently start taking points off the top 7 and do us a few favours as the season pans out.
