Post away.

Meh. Those fucking chav twats are miles better than us. This is the Modern World.

[Goldie.7]

Garbage

[Karlos96]

Predictable. 

[Deano's Mullet]

Totally expected. Get the next one out the way and then see where we go from there.

[Rigadon]

I decided to miss this one, glad I did.

Commentators taking the piss about our consistent lack of goal efforts or shots on target is all getting a bit monotonous.

I hate this league sometimes. What the fuck can you do? The odd anomaly aside its mostly can happen this way against the top sides, and it's only going to get worse in the coming years as they'll continue to get round FFP.
I expect the same next week. We'll be easily outclassed and City won't break sweat. Roll on November. Hopefully with some semblance of our confidence in tact.

Whatever.

Just get done with this ridiculous run of fixtures without too many lingering mental bruises and Benteke back to full strength and I'll take it.

Our start gave us the platform, the Liverpool result was a bonus. Our defence really is quite good overall, and being beaten by sides like Arsenal and Chelsea (and, if it happens, Man City) really isn't the end of the universe.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Men against boys.

We aimed to frustrate, they enjoyed walk in the park never having to really step it up a gear.

Not too disheartened, our midfield showed signs they can link up well, they just need to create more attacking threat now.

Chelsea are a cracking team, every player can control the ball with ease and their movement is very good. It will be between them and Manchester as to who wins the league.

[Ron Manager]

What is the point of Joe Cole?

[Tom_Mc9?]

Better and worse things have happened.

To those people saying we should have given it more of a go, i'd say it's even more of a risk in this current run of fixtures. Lose more heavily than we did today and it makes the next couple of games even harder. The game plan was pretty lame but what are we going to do? Try and dominate Chelsea?
At the start of the second half we started to get a bit more possession. If we'd done better with our set pieces we might have got back into it, but we left ourselves a bit more open and the second goal killed us.

They are in a different class to us, it makes me hate football but it doesn't make me too disappointed with our performance.

This is an outstanding Chelsea team. Azpelicuita ran the match and we didn't man mark him but the problem is who do you stopin team containing Fabregas, Hazard, Willians etc etc
