Engles back on Sunday please 

Happy to play anyone up top accept Wes. Needs a kick up the ass

awful tonight. We move on 

[CosmicVillan]

Deserved to lose, Chelsea light years ahead and should have won by more if not for some excellent work by Heaton

[Dale]

Chelsea are masters of the art of shithousery, had 60%+ possession but more niggly fouls. Meh. 

[barryvilla]

Can we please sell Wesley. Have to replace him in Jan. 

[Davkaus]

Not a terrible scoreline, but Heaton was easily our man of the match. We're not as good as Chelsea, who knew? 

Next! 

[AVFCDAN]

Never a terrible result to lose 2-1 but in truth they were just better. This isn’t the game we need to win though.

Ill be surprised if Chelsea play much bette than that all season.

[R.Bear]

Looks way better than it was and we could have snatched a late equalizer. They are just much better, its no disgrace. I would have taken 4 points from the last 3 in a heartbeat.

[privateer]

Best thing about tonight is the results from elsewhere. Well, actually the only acceptable thing about tonight is the results from elsewhere/

[S-Platt]

We are a Striker away from mid table.

[NurembergVillan]

Not good enough, but I didn't think we would be.

Chelsea could've played Dennis Wise on the right wing, there was so much space down our left, and we just lack pace on the break which means in games where we're under sustained pressure there are no concerns for the opposition.

Wesley was isolated again, but did very little when the ball got anywhere near him.

Elmo had a decent game, and Douglas Luiz was our best outfield player once he came on.

Heaton man of the match for us.  Pulled off a couple of exceptional saves.

The commentators on Amazon were a pair of whoppers.

Pick Kodjia from the start against Leicester, please.  And Engels for Konsa.  And tell Mings to cut out all the Johan Cruyff bullshit.

[PieFacE]

Poor performance but to be expected in all honesty. We would have needed to catch Chelsea on an off day to beat them at their home ground and they definitely didn't have an off day today. We made it slightly easy for them with being so sloppy on the ball.  Engles needs to come back into the side now. 

[Vive_La_Villa]

Spirited performance  but the best team won.  They got some top players. Willian different class. Frustrating for Jack today, not enough quality around him. Luiz should start away from home.  Wesley really struggles as a lone striker.  Heaton man of the match. Some fantastic saves. 

All in all not too disappointed. Hoping for a win on Sunday.

[Talldarkandransome]

We only had 10 men

 

[Mantis]

We didn't play badly at all. Disappointing obviously but 1 point from United and Chelsea away is still 1 more than I thought we'd get.

[KenjiOgiwara]

Not too bothered. Didn't expect much against a much better side who's built for years and years in this division. 

Referee was a disgrace first half. How Abraham wasn't carded is beyond me. That tackle on Hourihane could have wrecked his career. 

Wesley was beyond useless again. Utter shit. Possibly the worst main striker I can remember for us in the PL. Even fat Gabby offered 10 x more. Massive massive flop. Offers nothing.

We need to start winning games we dont deserve to win. And/or start picking up points against top half teams. Easier said than done I know. 

[holteend1982]

Strange performance, we was good in parts terrible in others. We gift far to many goals though, both were sloppy from a defensive point of view but to concede two minutes after half time in a game we've managed to scrape ourselves back into is unacceptable.

Luiz was very good when he came on, grealish good as per and Heaton was top class. Trez is a terrible player and wes is getting worse every week. 

[AVFCDAN]

Luiz is much better than Nakamba that’s for sure. Not sure he should be in a normal starting 11.

[Darth Villa]

If only we had a forward line...not an awful performance but it shows what a loss Tammy was... so damn frustrating!
