Let's be fair, Chelsea absolutely played us off the park at Stamford Bridge in the cup, Palmer in particular was absolutely superb.
The plan today, IMO, was to keep it compact, stop Palmer and Gallagher playing their game, and hit them on the break. It worked for the first half, there weren't many moans about the setup and selection at half time.
I do feel like he could've brought Duran on a bit earlier, to at least give us someone to hold the ball up, but Oli is as good as anyone at that and he had one of his worst games of the season tonight unfortunately.
At the start of the season, would we have taken a point against Chelsea? Yeah, I think I would have. At the end of the day, it's 1pt closer to Champs League than we had yesterday.
