We not going to gave 2 Emi's so whoever is our number 2 ain't gonna be as good. 

Yes he can take some blame for the being out of position but tbh the ball over the top took all the players by surprise and we was caught flat footed and that resulted in a poor clearance that Chelsea picked up, why we didn't pick the ball or at least be there to make it difficult is another issue. Poor day at the office and we got a point without the world's number 1 keeper.

Chelsea can't afford him anyway, if we could swap then Gallagher would be the player for us, make a huge difference in games like yesterday.

It is important to remember Olsen is lacking match practice too.

This, especially with our systems dependency on the keeper holding possession, takes balls of steel and months of in game experience.

Just watched MotD and this must be the worst of the season. Literally spent one minute analysing the VAR decision for Chelsea's third goal and then moved on without even commenting on the rest of the match. Maybe they should rename the programme VAR of the Day.

Can't believe the ref needed var to call it, we had a free kick that was stopped before the ball had even landed.

It was a hard earned point that's for sure, ref allowed alot of physical contact which doesn't suit us, Chelsea are a big team and individually they have some Great players. Happy with a point, worried about the injuries tbh, Tim did well, he was more affective than Doug was and that's a worry going forward. 

Was a very similar game to the one we lost in the fa cup. We set up to sit deeper , draw them on then hit them when they over committed and it worked for 2 goals but then we started to lose possession cheaply in these  transitions. McGinn, Doug, Rogers and Diaby were all guilty of it. If we have been a bit cleverer we could have carved them open a few times before they scored. 

Ollie was in a battle and when he did knock the ball back it was there players picking the ball up as our midfield just went missing. I can't understand the drop off in performance from Doug in a game like that, he starts badly and then becomes petulant, almost like he just gives in. Hopefully he will pull it together on Thursday, we need him. 

Olsen did OK, made some saves and claimed some high balls into the box. His kicking is OK,  quite accurate tbh. What he needs to get experience in is the short balls around the box, Martinez is great at it,  now he's gained experience.  Olsen needs game time to learn that and to have the confidence to do it. No one is going to be as good as Martinez. 

Got some great players tbh, if they keep poch and not have to sell their best players they will be close to top 4

Just correcting people making false statements. 

Your giving your opinion a Chelsea players and ignoring our huge injury list to first team player's,  we have took  4 points of Chelsea this season despite them spending £1bn, maybe we can pick some bargains up in the Chelsea fire sale....lol

Nkunku would be the best attacking option if he ever got fit, him and Palmer has potential to be extremely good.  Gusto has been their best defender in past month I heard from their fans as well. Sanchez is a much better keeper than this Petrovic guy, Rogers goal was saveable for good keeper imo.  Enzo is world class but Gallagher and Caicedo run the midfield today even without him lol 

Wrong forum ...mate.

I don't think Chelsea fans would agree 

Their squad is huge and ours injuries are first team players.

Been dealing with a injury ravaged season all season.

Chelsea close to a fully fit team.

Players look tired and it's understandable

This, not sure what people expect tbh , anyone that know our injuries and then watch 2 of our best players go off injured and expect us to perform at our best. A point was a great result for us in the end, disappointing but hard won. Emery made subs at the right time and set us up as strong as he could with the players he had available. 

They won't,.just like we won't,  neither of us are that good and if they do then they deserve it amd we get Europa.

Saved us point , great save with his trailing foot from Palmer,.looked  certain goal, .not sure who's watched the game on here tbh 

Did well tonight got involved,  stuck his head in and got his foot in as well. We may need him to see the season out.

Wasn't a good game by us by any standard, especially the 2nd half. But tbf we got 2 big injuries in the first half and needed to change the way we play. Compare this to how the Newcastle game at the start of the season went and it's a win. Might turn out to be an mportant point even thou we dropped 2.

Also:

VAR  

Var saved us twice tonight so not sure what your point is 

Liverpool,  what a mess, klopp kicking off with the substitutes before they came on, Salah lost it with him. Bit of a car crash end to his lpool career. 

West ham are ...t

There’s a world where West Ham beat Plop we win against Chelsea then beat Liverpool and we’d only be 2 points behind them with two games to go… 

Liverpool have Spurs first and we have Brighton before we play them, we could take 3rd if we beat Liverpool and they don't beat Spurs ( we would have to beat Chelsea and Brighton first though)

It's got to the point where I scream at the telly if we abandon it and just start playing it long, especially Emi.

Stopped the shouts of "get rid of it!" think half the fans are a little lost when we are passing it around at the back being harassed by the high press. 

In one.

His commitment to playing around at the back,  even when we are under pressure we keep doing it, sometimes it bites us but he persist. He knows that if we can get the players to do it well, under pressure , then we have a winning formula.  

It would be easy to abandon it in certain games but he persists, he teaching the players to be better and he's also educating the fans, it's unbelievable tbh.

Where to start, Paninaro, Jealousy, Being Boring, Its a Sin, Shopping, Heart, Weat End Girls, Kings Cross, Love Comes Quickly, Rent, The Pop Kids. I could go on. 

Please don't.

He's not here to win any popularity contests that's for sure and that's probably why he's here tbh, to deflect some of the criticism on some difficult decisions that will have to be made.
