Badly monty

Gestede? Yeah. He's like an ent.

[SamTheMouse]

Just got in. Slightly mental line-up, but Sherwood's clearly going with the old-fashioned British-style players who speak good English and can therefore nod at the appropriate times during his team talk.

[Toronto Villa]

best chance so far. Very good header from Gestede

[paul_e]

Our only attacking player who's been decent is Ayew but he's having to do too much on his own, Gabby is utterly anonymous, Gestede is offering exactly what we know he does and Grealish just can't seem to get into the game.  What's the odds on Gabby playing the 90 and Ayew coming off after an hour?

[ozzjim]

It was a poor header i thought toronto.. Got to hit the target from there

2nd half or rugby, hmmmm

Malaysian spread betters are all over it.

I've only watched a couple of minutes, but I strongly suspect 90% of our attacking play has come from Alan Hutton.

They'll lose then. Halftime is where the smart money is.

Every time Ayew attacks there is no movement for him.

Grealish has been poor. Gil down the right and Ayew more cerebral might help.

Gabby's link up play has been great. Ayew has impressed me too. Looks very comfortable with the ball. Grealish is not getting the chance to run at them, playing far too deep.

It's Gabby that needs to be more cerebral.

For anyone interested, in addition to being a goal down, Chelsea have just had Matic sent off for a second yellow. It looked like the linesman had to remind the referee that Matic had already been booked.
