Chelsea at the Emo. 4:30pm. Haddock chips and mushy peas

Rohit

Slot knows, said this yesterday after their win.

We haven't controlled any games this season because we don't have an alternative to Odegaard.

Rohit the nature of this win definitely doesn't boost any confidence. Barely scraping past a 10-man Chelsea at home.

Rather it adds to the doubt and just postpones what seems to be inevitable. Another title-run collapse.

2-1. Good game. Onwards

Don Pacifico I think we were easily the better side today. Some players weren't at their best but generally the reaction on here seems like people are just stuck in their emotions cos they were on edge.

Claudius

Qwiss glad I wasn’t here during the game. Reading the comments now, I would’ve been way more anxious.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss and yet we were hanging on for dear life against ten man Chelsea!?

I know xG isn't everything but...

That reflects what I saw. We were okay in the first half but we let a team we were dominating back in. Then in the 2nd half we struggled to claw back the initiative against the same, very ordinary Chelsea.

It is very satisfying that we've faced Chelsea 4 times and beat them in 3 of those games.

i think we were ok till the 75-80 min before completely losing momentum

Chelsea have high pressers and high endurance players like Caicedo, James, and Pedro + 5 fit fresh subs

We had basically Rice, Zubi knackered and eze was just playing 10 v 10 at the end

I have no idea why eze completed more than 75 mins, not for his poor performance but more that he was just done running

That was another game in this season where we've won but I didn't feel I was seeing a title winning side. Much like the accusations against Liverpool last season you just don't feel there will be able to get away with it over multiple games. We were hanging on sitting back against 10 nah Chelsea and we've fallen into that mindset all to often and it cost us a lot and we won today but it doesn't feel convincing.

Still feels it'll be a which team manages to be the least shit in the run in rather then about our quality etc and it's not promising that we seem to go to a let's hang in mentality and more of a smaller team approach which I think leads to dropped points.

Qwiss

Did people watch City yesterday? Some games are tough.

awooga83

Qwiss but we've been playing this way since Christmas it's part of a trend rather then it's just one tough game.

Qwiss

awooga83 have we? We smashed Spurs last week, same with Leeds and Sunderland.

Rohit

The fact that we are leading the table after 29 matches played without looking like a title winning side most of the time according to a lot of fans is exactly why we are well worthy. Had it been another club, we wouldn't hear the end of how they have a champions mentality of winning even when not playing well.

awooga83

We should really be clear this season because City are way off it and yet we are still in a race with a below par City.

daredevil

awooga83

They looked off it before they signed Guehi and Semenyo. They have since addressed two of their three biggest problems that led to them looking below par. It’s not the same team that dropped all those points and them going on a long winning streak wouldn’t be entirely surprising .

awooga83

Qwiss and we drew against Liverpool, luckily beat wolves, drew against forest, pussy to United, drew with wolves and Brentford that string of results isn't great and this one is similar to the wolves win for me.

Tam

Don Pacifico well that’s progress I suppose.

Qwiss

daredevil tbf they were hanging on yesterday even more than we were today.

HomeSteak

daredevil they have 6 in a row

Qwiss

HomeSteak just 4 isn't it? They drew with Spurs
