I don't think we were as bad as you are all saying. We started poorly, but after about 20 minutes we got a foothold in the game and from that point on it was an even game. Did you expect us to waltz over them at Stamford Bridge? They were always going to up for this game and they have good players there.
We switched off for the first goal and Alderweireld subsequently defended the situation very poorly. There is no point talking about the second goal. But all in all I think we were better tonight than in both the semi-finals against them. We did have two key players in Eriksen and Son who were very poor though.
I am very concerned about top 4 now though. The title was never on, but the gap to the teams below us is disappearing fast. We desperately need a win on Saturday. We have two games left away to Liverpool and Emirates Marketing Project that we can pretty much write off, so we are in trouble.
It was the first game under Poch where we didn’t have a shot on target. Bar 15 mins before half time, we were fudging abysmal.
That’s before you factor in the fact we were playing a team on the verge of combusting and should have reacted to Saturday’s defeat.
Utterly unforgivable. As unforgivable as it was brick.
