Chelsea (H) Build-Up & Match Thread 18/2/17

[Langers]

Well I will. We have matched Chelsea and should have been in front in the first few minutes.

Yeah I agree - not like they've had many chances themselves.

So frustrating that a lapse of concentration from Edwards has cost us. Because we're playing well.

 

[The Bear]

Should have been done 10 mins ago that.

 

[The Bear]

What's this. A striker in form coming on?

 

[Freddeno]

good cover from Hause on Willian

 

[Freddeno]

it really is a shame Bod cant head the ball and be that kind of proper threat

 

[Langers]

Top stuff from Hause again. Really impressed by him today.

 

[The Bear]

Still could do with Ronan on for Saville/Price and drop Edwards back.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Yeah I agree - not like they've had many chances themselves.

So frustrating that a lapse of concentration from Edwards has cost us. Because we're playing well.

And against this quality of opposition switching off for a second can be crucial. And so it proved.

A lot of positives from this game it hasn't been a mauling and we're are still fighting with 10 to go, Chelsea IMO are one of the best sides in Europe currently.

You can clearly see that these guys have a chance to hang in there with top top opposition. That is encouraging. We won't play Chelsea in the league next season but maybe we can the year after.

 

[Freddeno]

finally last two subs

 

[The Bear]

Saiss on for Saville
Ronan on for Bod.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good luck Ronan! Good luck Saiss!

Yeah a lot to take from this.

Pleased to see Saiss on the pitch finally.

 

[SSB]

Saiss trying a shot from 60 yards nearly cost us there.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Whatever the outcome this evening, we must take the positives into our upcoming games. We really have looked quite decent in this game.

 

[The Bear]

Doherty's attepmts at going past players in and around the box have all been woeful.

 

[The Bear]

Spawny fuckers.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Whatever the outcome this evening, we must take the positives into our upcoming games. We really have looked quite decent in this game.

Absolutely. I think we have been tremendous. We deserve a replay. The fact that Conte felt he had to bring NGolo Kante on to shore it up is a sign of the respect he has given for the performance of our players. And the crowd tonight. Magnificent.
