A goal is 24 feet wide and when Erikssen picked up the ball with no-one closing him down Hennessy was in the middle of his goal as he should be. Even allowing for his height and outstretched arm he can only cover nine feet of the 12 either side of him. Do you really understand the speed at which these pros can hit the ball? Just like Coutinho on Saaturday Erikssen's shot went like an arrow just inside the post.

Go to your local park and find a goal and stand in the middle and see how much ground you have to make up if you want to save a shot that is just inside the post.

Yes Hennessy has made mistakes in the past but neither Saturday or tonight was one of them.

What worries me is what happens if we pick up any injuries in central defence. We've lost Dann, Tomkins and Sakho in rapid succession so if anything happens to either Delaney or Kelly (already a far from top choice pairing), we're going to look f*cked.

What a load of cobblers. It was nothing lkke the start of the season. We played really well first half, and they should of been down to 10 men. Second half we visably tired and Sakho going off effected the team too. But we defended really well, with one lapse of concentration leaving Ericsson too much space to rifle in a shot. Players gave there all,just worried they may not recover in time for Saturday.

I thought we were excellent first half, hard to believe we were in the bottom three two months ago.

Typical unpleasantness from Ali and he 'drew' a foul (from Luka I think) in the box by crouching down and allowing Luka to lean on him.

And it wasn't given

Agree. Not many keepers would have stopped that. Midfielders fault for giving him so much space.

Andros Townsend is a gentleman and good loser maybe?

Edit: And everyone hate f***ing Chelsea.
