A corner turned or papering over the cracks?

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

I only watched the first 8 minutes. In that period I saw us caught on the counter twice, very nearly caught out by a short corner twice in a row in the same way and watched us give the ball away in our own half under no pressure. Then my stream broke which came as something of a relief.

Still, Ramsey eh?? Man of the match I hear. Must have been a ****ing awful match

To be fair, for the first 10-12 minutes, it looked like more of the same. you could only see Chelsea scoring and running out comfortable winners. After that, we got a foot hold in the game, created 2 reasonable chances very quickly and never looked back. Lacazette should have scored when the ball rebounded off the post but apart from Pedro running through and fluffing his lines, Chelsea never really looked like scoring.

The 2 moments of the match for me were when Kolasinac got a yellow for halting a Chelsea counter and Bellerin doing exactly the same thing 2 minutes later. We are often guilty of not committing those kinds of fouls.

Hector breaking up a counter attack by running behind the player on the ball and putting two hands in his back before shoving him over made me laugh out loud.

Well done Hector.

Hazard could have been stopped scoring last year in this manner. Perhaps we have learned from that.

Wonderful. 'Guilty of not committing a foul'- I love it

I did think we looked rather crisp in a lot of the passing and we were playing a little quicker than usual and a little higher up the pitch. But I have seen this happen before for a spell only to then see us carved open on the counter attack and go behind so I didnt think too much of it.
