It would nice to have a shot on goal at some point

Can't see anything in this game for us, now, we don't pose any threat at all, not that we did before though

One up front rarley worked for Burnley in the past.

We finished 7th playing the same formation.

The few set pieces we have had have been seriously lacking today.

It would be classic Burnley to nick a goal in the 89th min to pinch a point...

So easy for for them to attack the wing and pick out a player in the box. Terrible marking. Boy do we need some pace in our team.

Its dreadful Tim. To not have a shot is a disgrace tbh

Lot of bad press for footballers flouting lockdown rules. Will we get some credit for socially distancing all game?
Not seen our midfield within 2 metres of a Chelsea player all game

Pope may as well roll the ball out.......we never win the ball when he kicks it out.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:30 pm

Some on here are shocked at the display - we are not a footballing side and we are doing our best with the limited assetts available.

Just remind yourself of the cost of the Chelsea side and be satisfied that they're not exactly tearing us apart.

Poor this second half - but let's keep offering those contracts out eh

I wonder if the Chelsea keeper complains about too many matches in a short period of time....

Brady up top now ?

Come on posters the Quality in the Chelsea side.... Way above what we'll ever have. Its only 1...0 for now.

For a Barton or Marney, what would I give?? Get stuck in!

Rhetorical question by the way

Mumbongo coming on

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:31 pm

Bring Mumbongo on, Dwight left again. Nothing at all to lose.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:31 pm

Chelsea have stepped it up this half and we are struggling to affect the game. Barring the goal, I was happy with the first half showing though, particularly from the likes of Cork and Tarkowski.

True, but it's more about their poor finishing.

We have looked outclassed today, apart from the first 20 minutes or so, we have struggled to do anything.

And my comments not meant to be negative......I just reckon I could play in nets for them......

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:32 pm

Looks like a tired performance for me. Hardly surprising given the lack of squad depth and rate of fixtures.

Dante.El.Chunk · Post by **Dante.El.Chunk** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:33 pm

taking away the political threads is really showing up those who continually try and cause division amongst us, its the same people every time. We're losing to Chelsea and not playing great, are we really that entitled after a few years at the top table? No I don't think most of us are. Time for Internet passports. You want to spout rubbish online, put your face and name to it.

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:34 pm

It's been the same story for a few seasons now. We need a right winger who can beat his man consistently.

I do realise though that they are hard to come by and aren't cheap.

We just need that Defour type class, but on the wing.

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:34 pm

Joel’s first involvement is to flatten a blue

I’d love to see a quality centre midfielder brought in (other areas perhaps higher priority, admittedly).

With some of the diarrhoea I read on here I'm surprised someone hasn't replied to say "they shouldn't be tired with the money they earn"

Not surprising, a lot of this Chelsea team were the second choice under Lampard so stepping it up to impress the new manager and keep their places.

Not really. Villa looked more effective than Chelsea in the first half but we dug deep and found a way to get a result. A step too far today really, regardless of who it's against. Some of the players look knackered.

Is it going to stay as 1-0 or be 2 or 3 nil. The excitement .
