[The Golden Eel]

I thought we were the better side tbh, just our end product is absolute tosh

Chelsea's forwards are coming alive in the final third, ours are falling to pieces. Doesn't matter that we've been the better side.

Really? Aside from Hazard, their front three have been shite. Has Giroud done anything apart from elbow Van Dijk in the face?

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

A good half from two very good teams. Decision making and finishing has been the difference so far.

[Herp McDerp]

We could play all day today without scoring, need to change something at half time

[3 Stacks]

Hazard scores that left footed shot from that angle 100% of the time. Feels like I've seen that exact finish 20-30 times since he's been in England.

I am so glad you told me not to do that, it would have been an excellent stream

 

I'm sorry I couldn't not help.

Kloppo better start getting something out of these at ht, because we are second best currently. 

We are clearly not second best 

[Thoth]

Release Shaq 

[Jennings]

Chelsea looking really good. 

[Daisy]

Let's just fucking clear this up, we have been far the superior team. They got lucky with a break when trent was AWOL. Salah has been second best that's about all

[Ne Moe Imya]

Lot of negativity but I actually think we've been very good. Obviously need to finish and/or improve the final ball but we've been the better side. The game is being played at a very high level by both sides, too, absolutely quality to watch.

 

Great to see the press back again. Chelsea worked through it once and scored because Trent was out of position but they won't get many that way. Every pass has to be absolutely perfect - and it was, that one time.

 

Keita on for Henderson and maybe Shaqiri for Mane eventually and we can win this game.

[skend04]

We've got a free man on the far post every time. The forwards need to look up a little bit more. The wasted opportunities because of rubbish final ball are ridiculous.

He’s world class.

[Jennings]

We need to up the tempo in midfield. Get another man in there. Maybe a free role for Shaq could work. 

[Pidge]

Poor from alisson for the goal, pretty close otherwise.

[J-V]

We need to start mocking Salah it's the only way he'll score.

[Grinch]

Front three is woefully off form and there's no creativity in that midfield (surprise, surprise).  Can't see this game changing without getting some nous into that midfield.

 

I'm very jealous of their midfield three, now that's three big club midfielders.  We might have two but they're on the bench.

His quality has never been in question, it's his attitude that's his problem.

I don't agree mate. They have looked the better team and Hazard pulled Trent out of position. They made their own luck.

De Gea stops that for sure

[Johnlj]

Trent going awol, and a save that Allison should make. 

 

We´ll be back in this, unless the obvious Hazard counter goal putting it to bed.

 

Keita on now, Shaq not later that 65. 

 

Lets go boys.

Salah fucked up 3 almost clear cut chances, Chelsea had that one break and was it. We've comfortably been better

I'm sorry, but that's bollox. 

 

Credit where it's due, that was a great strike by hazard. 

 

Great game so far, some of the best football you're likely to see, and that's by both teams. 

 

It pains me to say it but Chelsea have been brilliant, as have we. 

 

Both teams very evenly matched, they just took their chance when we didn't. That's the only difference so far.

Salah's had one clear-cut chance, the rest have been half chances at best.

There was the Willian chance too. They haven't had many chances, but they look dangerous when they do fashion something.
