Silva and Yaya poor again and again...

Silva has not been poor

Nor has Yaya.

3-5-2, anyone?

They have only Ba up front, I think if Chelsea dont change their formation - this is our best shot.

Much of the same im afraid for me.

Play well up to a point and then its all one big struggle.

Kuns first touch can be abysmal at times and we rely far too much on the full backs trying desperately to give us the much needed width.

We cant drop points to what for me are a poor chelsea side.

You are at least a little bit unfair. we have dominated possession and created the only meaningful chances against the european champions. They are no mugs and definately not a poor side.

They are giving the wide areas up as they know we offer little or no threat there. packing the middle of the park as they know its all coming through that are and yes, decent possession but only up to a point which has been the issue all season.

They have offered nothing going forward and don't look likely too as they have come for a draw.

We have to up our game and we have to get the three points against what for me is a poor Chelsea side, especially compared to their teams in the past!

Kun needs to find a first touch and the ref needs to take a long hard look at himself as well.

45 mins to get the job done, come on blues!

This match is screaming out Dzeko with 2 wingers. Chelsea looks like they are almost giving away the wide areas for free.

They are giving the wide areas for free because we play compact football, they have nearly 10 men behind the ball. Wingers will not make any difference because they'll just cover the wide areas if need be but they percieve more danger in the midfield and are blocking it up. The only reason we are getting space out there is because Zabs/Clichy can't cross for peanuts and they know it.

Silly isnt it. Like they would play the same if we had wingers and dzeko on the pitch.

Silva has not been poor

The only player having a bd game is Aguero, unfortunately.

Definitely not, they are playing on the break. If we go to 3 at the back we are stuffed if we get caught forward, there is nothing wrong with how are playing. We started extremely well but got caught up in the ref 'doing us over' and lost concentration. The only way Chelsea can score is if we get caught forward so we need to stay as we are and get the goal that had been coming.

It's so weird having an American commentator on FSC

That Hazard dive when Zabba was a yard away was disgraceful!

not as disgraceful as rat boy and tyler claiming that contact was made!
