I’m reading a lot of if this if that. Well let’s stop worrying about something that didn’t happen and focus on the things that did. We got a draw playing bad at a ground and team we always suffer at. A team that has had success for years. Alot to learn from our manager and players, but we didn’t lose. Years ago we would have lost, but we didn’t. Give the team and manager some credit for not losing, we won’t play like that again like that in a hurry.

Chelsea are a footballing giant in World football, they have World class players all over the pitch and are looking at spending near another 1/2 billion pound further in this window.

Yet some seem surprised we couldn't roll up to their house dominate them and come back with 3 points.
I wonder what planet some of us reside on sometimes.

And this is where Sess can learn from Perisic after these games. He's also still very young and growing physically. I wouldn't write him off based on today personally.
Oh In no way should we write him off, I think he has a bright future, I just think Perisic should be the starter for now as he is one of the best LWB in the world currently and the sooner he gets up to speed the better for us. But Sess should still get plenty of game time.

I'm fucking amazed those neanderthal's know what the internet is. ****s. Let's start a petition to get Taylor in next years honours list.


Thousands sign petition calling for Anthony Taylor to be banned from refereeing Chelsea

At the time of writing some 16,000 people have signed the change.org petition, which alleges that: "Anthony Taylor has continued to make big decisions against Chelsea over the years in big matches.

"Taylor has an agenda against Chelsea and should not be allowed to referee a game involving the club again."

Mate some fans just aren’t happy unless they’re crying about something, it’s ‘performance’ this week. Next week it’ll be something else.

Gaining a point and denying Chelsea two is valuable, but I think Conte will have learned several lessons from the game. Perisic and Bissouma are in our strongest XI, and 4 at the back is not an option at any stage against the top teams.

We also need a couple more signings

Doesn’t Conte say, if you can’t win make sure you don’t lose. Not our best performance today but we got something from the game.

Not sure that we can learn much from today other than that we're willing to go until the very death to try and get it over the line. We've done this numerous times now, and that's brilliant and breeds the belief that we're never beaten until the final whistle, which is what we all want.

Compared to rolling over (and over and over) for them last season, I'm just glad that we didn't today and kept going. We've turned in decent performances at every single other ground we've played at in the past 10 years, but never here, so while it's disappointing to be shite in that first half again I'd have taken a point, and we got one, and to have boiled all of the piss in west London doing it makes it especially sweet.

We'll build on this, but we absolutely need a way to make a quick change when it looks like we're getting overrun in the middle. It's the only time we have a rough game. If we need to change formation and drop Kulusevski in there as a 10 for 30 mins to stop it, then that seems like the easiest solution to me.

Really poor performance but I always felt that we just needed to get a point as that's all that matters.

Later in the season that will be useful as we will improve and Chelsea won't dominate us again at WHL.

I never felt Chelsea would fade like some thought. so a point is actually a great result because they will be up there and you want to be ensuring you don't lose whilst performances are lacking.

As others have stated, Conte will change that 11 by the end of the season.

Thought Richarlison made a massive difference and showed why we signed him.

As great as Sonny is, he isn't a pest. If you are under pressure and can't play out, you need someone who can bother and disrupt. Sonny isn't that guy, he will cause concern for the counter but if the opposition are dealing with it, you need to unsettle them.

Richarlison will be very useful at this

We all thought in the pub today he was their 12th man. All the little decisions went their way.
