I haven't read the thread, I couldn't get on the site yesterday.
Interesting that some pundits thought we played well and were unlucky -- I don't feel that way. I don't think we created that much because Chelsea defended well (in a very defensive setup). Our main threat came from Harry making chances for himself, though Dele did a nice bit of skill to set him up when he hit the post first half.
Probably the worst game I've seen from Wanyama, just terrible.
Was very disappointed with how we started the game, first ten minutes. Just allowed Chelsea to walk the ball towards our goal and cross into our box at will, no intensity from us -- set a very bad tone for the game. Morata should have put them 1-0 up during this period, missed the easiest chance of the game imo.
After that period, we controlled possession but we still seemed lethargic against a team that were there for the taking, with players missing and on the back of a terrible first game.
And yet still, at 1-1, we gave ourselves a chance to win the game, yet every player seemed to make bad decisions and contrived to get Chelsea back infront. Once again, in a big game, Hugo is found wanting imo. I honestly think that in these big games, he is our weakest link. When I think of his errors, they always seem to come against top sides where we just can't afford any gifts. As our captain, you'd hope he would be raising his game on these occasions.
Gutted really -- but if we bounce back strong against Burnley, then we can go into the international break with 6 points from 9, a Wembley win and hopefully be ready to get into our stride. We need to get on a good run of wins, like we did last season, but do it early so we can get to the top of the table instead of chasing. We are capable
