Do you know what, that speaks volumes for the towering person he is.

Unsurprising Ward had his fingerprints all over Chelsea winner. Cheap foul giving away the free kick.

The beatings will stop when morale improves.

Bloody classic that. Oh well

The ref let Chelsea foul us every time we broke and yet only gave three bookings. If you pull a player back when they are breaking away it is a yellow card and yet Chelsea did that at lest a dozen times and got one booking - he only finally booked Kovacic when he literally held onto Olise's foot. Edouard did one little trip and immediate yellow! He basically let Chelsea foul us off the pitch and bottled it on the red card call. We matched Chelsea and that is a cruel goal to concede, but nothing we could have done to stop it. Also, 4 minutes of added time? You can f**k right off. If we were winning that would have been 5 or 6.

On the plus side Eze, Olise, Ayew and Zaha all on the same pitch from the start against Chelsea shows we have the balls to try and take the game to a top team. Ayew faded, but to me he looked much better in the middle than Schlupp.

And did you notice the whistle in his mouth two seconds from four minutes? No way was he going to add any more on, just in case.

Yeah, but that was an off the wall goal, which could have happened at any time. How are you supposed to see that one out?

The fact remains we should have been playing ten men all second half.
