Too big, too fast, too good 🤷♂️ We could try and take shots and that might give them something to think about. Chelsea will be happy watching us tippy tap back and forth around the box. We are not good enough to dictate the game and it’s exposed our back line. Truth is though we are in awe, lost because Chelsea are superior and strolling through the game. We possibly have two players that could may be get a game in the premier Jones and Tav.. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Not sure what else we could do today, as people have said we've played well but Chelsea are so good on the ball they can just play through the press. We could have sat with 10 behind the ball but I'd rather get beat by trying to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

We get to the border of their penalty area then just start passing the ball from side to side, or waiting an age before putting a cross in - by which time Chelsea have got their defence sorted out. We do the same in league games as well. They are out-classing us...and in fairness they should. But its annoying to see us waste what possession we have had. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Chelsea are a top, top team in world football. This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. I actually think overall, we've done ourselves relatively proud. We haven't created anything but we all know our strikers are the weak link of this team, it just stands out even more against an opponent this good. Some iffy defending at times, but that will happen when they get past our press and pull our remaining players inside and out. Go out, have a second half that makes the fans proud & rest your legs for a bit to get back to the grind of the Championship. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Motor Mouth 255 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 God why are we not playing Cardiff today. 😒 2 strikers that are not in the game Taylor not quite sure what position he is supposed to be playing Paddy allowing that first goal cross when he was caught day dreaming. How can we play against a top European club with 7 players. We need speed at the front fetch on the sub's NOW. I knew it was gonna be one of those days when I saw Woodgate down has a EXPERT alongside Shearer. 😄 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leesider 1,069 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Bola for Taylor would be my first change. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 On the bright side when we lose its the international break then a chance to focus completely on the league and give it a real go at going up 1 Link to post Share on other sites
