has anyone changed their opinion of GH based on that first half?

They can't have held their convictions very firmly if they have.

it is only 45 minutes, but it is a start, and it is a start in very testing circumstances - away at somewhere we traditionally get nothing, and playing against 12 men.

Reo-cokers distribution has been good. Keep it up!
Good point - obviously one of the poorer parts of his game but he's hardly wasted posession at all today.

To be fair the bookings were pretty much fair enough, some tough tackles by us. Maybe the new thing is to actually get stuck in. We have to be careful mind.

We have been the better side, but the referee will send one of our players off and it'll cost us.

According to the BBC it's ten for them, seven for us.

Four Centre Backs across the defence. Players on their wrong sides. Gaby and Emile upfront. Petrov and Nige in the middle. Best we've looked for a while.

Plus la change?

our distribution from crosses really has to improve. It's one area, with 4 CB's that we should be able to make Chelsea pay, yet neither Young or Downing have provided anything in dead ball situations.

Good half. Sod's law says we lose 2-1 thanks to a 90th minute goal.

The issue is that they are tackling worse than we are and aren't being booked for it.

I wish my Missus knickers went down as quickly as some of these Chelsea players.

We would improve as a side immeasurably if we had someone to provide that killer pass, and someone who could be trusted to put it away.
