v Chelsea (A): Match Thread

[Keyser Soze]

Our final ball !

Sterling, Lallana and Coutinho pretty build up but no end product.

[Muddled]

Opened up a bit there for Lallana, great run by Lambert.

[danperkins]

Inevitable we've bossed this second half.

[RichC]

Need to take one of these chances

[danperkins]

skrtel of all the players

[Tribute]

If only we had a one in three conversion rate...

[Kenneth]

That was a really poor cross from Lallana with three in the box.

skrtel of all the players

What was he even doing up there?!

[Tribute]

It would put the ****s up Utd if we sneaked a win here and beat Palace before they played Arsenal

[DeanoUK]

Sums up a lot of our games this season, dominating to a degree, some good play, poor final ball and shooting, dodgy defending.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Doing much better than I expected we would today. Quite a pleasant surprise.

Whilst it is not a full strength Chelsea team, it is still a strong team so a good performance is heartening to see.


Think what is also pretty clear is that three or so genuine upgrades to our first team should see us being able to go toe to toe with the teams currently above us for an entire season rather than for stand alone games.

[danperkins]

They had better first half hour but we've been better second half hour. Just lacking end product

[danperkins]

Coutinho has been superb today... What a great player

[McDermotX]

Sterling would be better off just keep running......very random shots on him.
