PaulC Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Really good first half after Mings gifted them a goal. Bailey has been really good. Ings has been involved but he should have buried that header. Great save but you dont give him the chance to save it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Excellent half from us, undone by that huge error from Mings. Very unlucky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never known a player make such costly mistakes. I can pick one in this game: Cucerella 2 mistakes leading directly to goal attempts from us - we just haven't converted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Should be level, played quite well, but the gap between the attack and the midfield out of possession is worrying - Chelsea have loads of time and space when we're moving into shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we saw what happened the next few games It’s the biggest problem as I said a few weeks ago, we only seem to play well against the big six and mostly lose. We’ve played well this half but given our past we’ll be shit next week against non-six teams. Why can’t we play better against those teams. No point playing well against big teams and taking very little then playing shit against shit teams….same against City as it is today. We’ve played well, we are still losing! Just as peeved off as happy with the first half because it’s the same all over again. You just know Chelsea won’t be as bad second half. Can we keep our performance up and get back into it, I hope so but this performance is frustrating given we can do it but don’t against poor teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Look better with more width and pace up top, midfielders being midfielders, and full backs being full backs I still think having both McGinn and Ramsey in midfield leaves us too open, which means we really need to be taking our chances when we have dominant spells 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We played well but it was all made possible by Chelsea’s high and extremely porous line allowing us to use our pace to get in behind, I’ve seen far too much of Gerrard to get my hopes up in 45mins that we’ve suddenly turned a new leaf. 2nd half will be the real test when Potter adjusts to stop us exploiting this, and there’s little chance they’ll be as sloppy in possession.

Guest av1 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I must be watching a different game. Apart from Ings there has been quality at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Credit where its due, a very good 1st half and we're unlycky not to have scored at least one. Shows that with the correct tactics this team is definitely good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have luiz higher up to pick better passes/retain the ball and let ramsey make his runs. Just a waste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
