14 minutes added at Fulham, Chris Basham broken leg, feel for the lad hopefully a full recovery for him.

Poor lad. Possibly a career ender at his age. Blow for them as they’ve just lost John Egan for a bit too.

Come on lads we can win this no cock ups this half!

He's 35 and needed oxygen on the pitch no chance ,the poor guy's career is done.

Looks like O’Shea coming on.

Dakhil off oshea on

Can win this if we can get more possession. Without checking the stats I don't think we've seen less of the ball all season? Majority of Chelsea's play is ineffectual playing around defensive midfield. They don't carry much threat going forward outside of Sterling so if we can get the subs right, we're well in this.

Not great when Jackson is on for Broja. Hope Delacroix is quick.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:08 pm

FFS. Sterling goes down after a vitty tackle. Penalty. Arghh

Pen Chelsea.

what a clown Vitinho

So reckless. I do not understand.

It's in. FFS.

Unfortunately Vitinho has never been a good defender

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:09 pm

Clear pen. Sterling has been very good.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:09 pm

How stupid is that by Vit?

Hopefully VK realises Vitinho is not the man to playing at RB in games like this

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:10 pm

The only success they have had has been through Sterling and we haven't reacted at all.

Greekclaret · Post by **Greekclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:10 pm

Was that even in the box? Looked just out

spt_claret · Post by **spt_claret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:11 pm

For everyone calling it a stupid tackle what's he meant to do- let Sterling just pass him? He has to try get the ball. Sterling just too fast and too skilful for most fullbacks.

criminalclaret · Post by **criminalclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:11 pm

2 goals in 10 mins. Hopefully show some grit to come back from this

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:11 pm

A big shout from Paul Merson as the penalty is scored “YES”

JLR81 · Post by **JLR81** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:11 pm

He shouldn't be playing RB in any game

ClaretMat · Post by **ClaretMat** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:11 pm

Berge, Tresor and Vitinho all poor for that goal.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:12 pm

We were doing really well

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:12 pm

I said in my post 5 mins earlier, Vitihno is a poor defensive full back. I cant see how Vincent can't see that. I would bring Roberts on now.

Belgianclaret · Post by **Belgianclaret** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:12 pm

Erratic by Vitinho, should have been replaced at half time by Roberts

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:12 pm

Giving the ball away time after time

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:12 pm

Get Koleosho on

Trafford is definitely improving but he is still too slow making a pass and puts us under pressure

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:12 pm

Get Vitinho off , Sterling's running him ragged

Not impressed with Tresor at all. He just isn't working hard enough and gives the ball away too much.

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:13 pm

Vitinho has been absolutely rinsed in the first half so it was no surprise to see him getting rinsed again.

Position yourself correctly and not lunge in when you've sold yourself.

Sort of, in short, defend properly. Sterling going past means nothing. He's just as likely to run it into another defender or kick it out as anything else.
