OttawaSaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 This could get ugly in a hurry. It wouldn't have gone unnoticed that the top 3 all scored 4 yesterday. We've been too timid, we may as well have just gone for broke because we have done very little with the ball despite the lion's share of possession.

St Chalet Posted 30 October, 2016 Author Share Posted 30 October, 2016 Martina doing the funky chicken in reverse. Unless we get one in next 10, let's give Austin, Bertrand and Romeu a breather for Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotleySaint Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 To be fair the amount of money they throw at the team and the world class players are making the difference today. We just can't compete with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 When was the last time Froster made a really top drawer save? Fair enough it was a decent enough shot from Costa, but FF didn't get even slightly close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 Nothing to panic about, it's our annual home defeat to Chelsea. But who knows, keep our heads and plug away and we might create something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkoUK Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 A think it's more of a case that this is Chelsea we are playing and they are a pretty decent side. We've done well to make them stand off and defend against us. Not game over yet, but lots of positives to take so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 That's the difference a bit of quality finishing makes. This x100 Martina attempt to block though, looks hilarious Chelsea know how to do us over in our yard, must have one of the best records since we got promoted- 3 wins, a draw and 1 defeat is what they have.

verlaine1979 Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 That's the difference a bit of quality finishing makes. If you think the difference in this game is just down to finishing, you're not watching closely enough. Chelsea have tried to stretch us every time they've had the ball, and as a result they've forced us to make mistakes and won fouls. We've largely played around in front of them because (as Andy Townsend observed at the start of the second half) our midfield and wide attack are not brave enough on the ball.

Edmonton Saint Posted 30 October, 2016 Share Posted 30 October, 2016 Yep in a game where chances are always likely to be at a premium , surely it would be advantageous to start JWP for his deadball ability alone.

We'd like to know because many many times this season, from the comments he posts it's clear he's not even watching and just reacting to the score.
