Dangerous free kick but they could have scored there if the challenge wasn't made I think.

Unbelievable the abuse some players get on here for, what seems to me, no reason at all!!

Whew. Ba ought to have scored there. Big let off.

Why can't saving Lambert for the second half be considered a good tactical move?

Easily better I'd say. Chappers works hard but Davis has a better touch.

Davis seems to be played in the defensive midfield role a lot. But is consistently poor there... needs a new position.

Awesome header from Lambert. Class!

Awful delivery. Just get it in the danger zone. How hard can it be for a professional footballer?!

I guess it's nights like tonight you remember, we were League One two years ago. Chelsea have been Premier League for some time now with years of investment behind them (something like £180m in the starting line up) By that reason, we've done okay

We have played well. It's so damn frustrating when we do concede it's just idiotic goals that could easily be avoided. A total lack of organisation at the back.

About 5 players in the penalty area all dithering and marking no-one. Easy for Chelsea.

2-0 but they deserve it

How is it not 2-0? Scary defending.

Whew. No way Davis would have made that one!

We do look like a superb footballing side a lot of the time. But we are so vulnerable to attacks.

Brilliant from JRod!!

You can look at it two ways really. They are happy for us to have it with no threat and can pick us off easily. Or we've done well to keep possession and stop them from creating anything. At least, until the goal..

Just gotta concentrate on keeping the score down I think.

Soft goal soft

Did you also look at the fixtures of teams below us and calculate they'd pick up enough points to overtake ?

Made some quick calculations and estimates: Turnbull - £1m Ivanovic - £9m Lampard - £11m Cole - £5m David Luiz - £26m Cahill £7m Azpilicueta £7m Ramires £18.5m Mata £24m Oscar £25m Moses £9m Marin £6.5m Hazard £32m Ba £7.5m £187.5m Boruc £0 Yoshida £2m Fonte £2m Hooiveld £500k Shaw £0 Schneiderlin £1.2m De Ridder £1m S Davis £0 Ward-Prowse £0 Cork £1m Guly £1m Puncheon £500k Rodriguez £7m £16.2 m

Lose Fonte and any of our confidence is the worst part about today. We should have kept it tighter at the back. Regardless of how good Chelsea are .. surely we should have defended better than that.

Well there is the 5-1 from Lampard.

De Ridders entire contribution this season has been to give away fouls and get yellow cards I believe.

WHOAH! STOP PRESS! TADANARI LEE is COMING ON!!
