[Kev0909]

Very harsh. Over all a point at Stamford Bridge isn't the worst result of the season.

He was shite end of, kante made them all like children by himself

he does a job but should never be starting v chelsea now, and shouldn't be starting much at all if we was ever serious about the title, same with most of the midfield heck even wolves have more quality in midfield and some others!!!

shit shit shit Ian shit

at this point jones should play more, instead of holding back his development, he's not much worse than the rest of them at all, and at least he could turn out to be a player eventually

but no we have Milner holding up his development and playing shit.

I've not seen a midfield performance that bad for a long time by all 3 of them, it's like going back to Roy days (not quite) but it's non-existant, and it was pants.

One of Keita/Ox/Jones needs to start, at least one it was so flat and shit

it's why we lost the game after going 2-0 up and was lucky not to lose chelsea couldn't even beat brighton at home a few days ago and not exactly been in a great place lately, but yes a point ended up being a good result which is pretty hilarious all things considered after being 2-0 up.

Totally agree about the midfield. At this point in his career starting at Chelsea would be as big a surprise to him as it is to us.
As for Konte, he's a class act. They are very fortunate to have him,he's far too nice for them shire of cunts !!

It's also tells us were Naby is in the packing order whe he can't start in front of Milly.

[Insidious]

AND what the FUCK are our fabled analysis team doing with set pieces? Great hit by Kovacic, but how the fuck is an opposition midfielder standing in the amoundtof space he was on the edge of our area unmarked at any fucking set piece

I don't disagree, though, Devil's Advocate, we're used to training/prepping for Alisson in nets and in terms of odds/percentages/whatever, you'd probably rather have an extra man in the box to block a runner or leap for a header, given that Alisson (I imagine, don't have stats to hand) rarely gets beaten from outside the box and the ball hit on the half-volley normally has to go through a body of players when it's a corner, with the Garcia-esque jobs being in the vast minority.

I meant 15-20. Sausage fingers again.
Didn't think we had a game in hand?

This is the issue, If City get to 100pts (again!) and we get to 85/86 points we'll have some how had a bad season. How do you compete with that?

[Steveo]

“If” let’s get 85/86 points first.

Nobody rational will be too upset with that.

The worry is chasing top 4 and being stretched in the CL with a midfield that looks a huge concern.

We are now hoping that sheer number of combos can get us through

Yep. Think people are being overly critical for Kovacic's goal. He's hit it first time with an awkward body angle, stright out of the night sky! 99% of the time he would have taken a touch, at which point Henderson would have closed him down.

The 2nd goal was awful defending though...

Think you give a lot of fans on here far too much credit!

How ridiculous is it that you can only drop give or take 15pts to have any chance of winning the league. It's exhausting just watching, imagine what it's like as a player!
