Phew! That's one way to end the first half. A cross that almost ends with a goal. Both teams have been equaly OK

Think we need to up it now, we have the energy in the tank to press them and push them back as they'll tire after their first half efforts.

We’ve not really done a lot but looked relatively comfortable. If we can put together a passage of play, they are ripe for taking apart.

Would have thought their pressing will drop off second half.

Need more from Eriksen, Winks and Sissoko.

Need to change the play in the second half to counter Chelsea’s marauding attacks.

Very strange contest to be honest though, not sure I've seen us struggle much like this in terms of not being able to get the ball down and play in the final third.
Only positive for me is that we are forcing their front-4 to run quite a bit - Barkley looked knackered before half-time.

Hopefully we'll see more off the ball, we've defended well today though, much more composed than usual
