Really frustrating game to drop points in. A win gave us a bit of breathing space going into 3 very tough fixtures, now we're right in the mix. Added pressure.
Unfortunately, if we are honest that was the worst collective performance of the season thus far (and I am including the Everton and Leicester matches as, for me, those were bad for individual failures). Disappointed.
that was poo. only positive is that we will be better on saturday and book our next trip to wembley. these nights happen, stoke played well but we missed enough chances to score.
Pep recently said it's OK to make mistakes if you learn from it. Well we've had two lessons tonight, Navas and Clichy are done and shouldn't feature again. Every time they start we're flat, more so Navas.
Pathetic team selection from Pep. Started slowly and didn't get any better. I'd rather play with 10 than Navas and Clichy. KDB - can't remember the last time he played well.
Stoke defended well but I think Pep has to take some of the blame for not starting his best side. We lacked ideas because the right people weren't on the pitch, and that first half performance was enough to make any crowd flat.
Tonight was the night we put the shits up Chelsea......Fucking blew it big time. Midfield was anonymous until Silva came on. Strange set up from Pep till silva came on then we couldn't hit a barn door with a cows arse.
