To be honest Chelsea deserved the win and thoroughly outplayed us. We didn't take our 2 fairly easy opportunities when we got them, Wilson frustrates me he misses too many easy chances. Altogether we defended well and unlucky with the deflection 1st goal and a moment of world class magic from Hazard. We need to keep the ball better though against the big teams because we were chasing shadows against a very quick team. Lerma and Rico were solid enough on their debut. Some really good crosses from Rico and crunching tackles from Lerma.
We have pace in attack but didn't show that quality today on the rare occasion we got a counter attack, cautiousness led to us slowing down and giving the ball away far too much. Overall happy with the way we defended but must do more when we get the rare chances in attack against the big 6 because you will get punished. Wasn't expecting anything today so at least we didn't get thrashed. Chelsea are a very different team to last season and are now dominating possession in every game and playing quick exciting football.
We now have a chance to pickup more points and get on a good run and cement top half as we don't play another big 6 team until November.
