Was at the front of the upper holte, directly looking down on that chance. Don't think I've ever lost it with a player quite so much as I did in the moments after he fumbled it.

One of the most annoying experiences last night apart from the obvious?
Chelsea's pathetic team huddle right on the halfway line while we're waiting to start the second half.

It was like an intimidating tactic, saying we are on your ground, in your back yard, and we don’t give a fuck.

It worked.

Well it worked out alright for them.
Maybe we should try it.

I will take comfort that all the top six are dropping points.

Made no difference to the outcome but it was infuriating, and weak refereeing allowing them to do it.

PS, Ollie missed chances but Tammy missed the easiest of the lot, although there only seemed to be about half a dozen left to witness it.
You'll have to refresh my memory. I recall Tammy hitting the bar with a looping header that wasn't easy. I saw Watkins 8 yards out with only the keeper to beat and he didn't even get a shot in. Similar in the first half but not quite such a golden opportunity.

You could've read War and Peace in the time it took him to get his shot away for that chance.
Or got served with a pie and a drink by our marvellous catering staff.

I don't think any of us need to be "Rocket Scientists" to see how much Emery is struggling at the moment. The team selection last night was strange anf without wanting to alienate the player, it's bizarre that Bailey is in the starting line up.
It looks like stalwart such as Martinez and Watkins may move in the summer and surely Mings is not performing well either.
Champions League is now a huge ask given our rotten form
