And we'd be in 8th place and 3 points behind Arsenal if we hadn't conceded those last gasp goals. (Yes, I know other teams could probably claim similar "what ifs"....) "It's a funny old game, Saint...."

You've been saying it since we got re-promoted to the premier league. You were bound to be 'right' sooner or later #brokenclocksyndrome

So, narrow defeats so far this season vs Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea, two of which we deserved a draw (not today) and unfortunate not to beat Arsenal. Unfortunately, half decent performances against these top sides only serves to mask the underlying issues. If we don't get 3 points next week at home to Huddersfield then Pellegrino's position becomes less tenable...

How is that a free kick and a yellow for Redmond? Shoulder to shoulder, surely?

We've started playing football!

Austin close again!!

Fair point. A last second defeat vs Man City....a late goal from Arsenal for a draw... A narrow defeat here today (barring a last 10 minute capitulation).... Fine lines between success and failure

All the way back to Forster from our corner. Just about sums it up

Disallowed, but a second Chelsea goal looking inevitable sadly

Yoshida does all the hard work to get there ahead of Hazard then gives it away cheaply

At last he hasn't used all his "glad I was proven wrong" cards over the last 5 years or so...

Austin goes close!!!

Austin on, gabbi off.... #facepalm

Take JWP off and revert to back 4, surely?

What the **** was Hoedt doing there with that attempted clearance. Went backwards and 20 feet up in the air.

Maybe something to do with him playing a bit like a "footballing god" in his first few games per chance?

Just watched the replay of the goal. Suffice to say most other keepers in this league would have got to that IMO

Yep...

And there it is... The inevitable last second goal...

We're playing 11 behind the ball and that's not working...

Since when did we become incapable of clearing the ball at the first, second or third attempt?

Anyone else feel a 'just before half time' goal from Chelsea in their waters?
