Emerson celebrating with the old ball-up-the-top-and-thumb-in-the-mouth. Do we have a record number of players having kids this season? I can think of Bowen, Rice and now Emerson off the top of my head
Be pretty cross if we concede from this freekick. Kehrer was fouled, then forgot to chase back, then Soucek breathes on a Chelsea player and the ref gives it.
Don’t agree. You can’t put an arm in someone’s back.
Mudryk literally put his arm into Kehrer's back 30 seconds earlier and nothing was given. Consistency is all we ask for from refs. Well, and competency. And contrition.
That Mudryk is absolutely rapid. Playing some high stakes stuff though Chelsea are with how high their line is, just need a bit more bravery from the midfield to play 2 or 3 touches and Bowen / Antonio could be in.
Hard watch, that. Chelsea absolutely dominated the first half hour but the goal gave us a lift.
We won't have the ball much in the second half, so need to use it better when we do have it. Antonio is working hard but offering very little quality up front. Just not sure how we're playing is going to suits Ings' game either, so I don't really know what our options are to change things up.
We need to be 10 times better second half to not lose this game. Not sure how you start Paqueta & then replace him with a completely different type of player in Soucek. Downes or Lanzini would’ve been better.
Well we certainly rode our luck in the first 20mins and although we showed some flashes, I think we can consider ourselves lucky to be going in on level pegging.
Fornals has been hit or miss recently but I think we need his industry further up the park to push them back a back and give us some room in midfield.
Benny has been our best player but today has been pretty invisible- I was not expecting to say this but maybe for today, we need Fornals graft over Benny’s guile

How often do we concede a chance from our own corners.
Strewth.
Just to be better really.
