Leicester thoroughly deserve to be a goal up, in fact they're unlucky not to be two goals up. It's not just Drogba to blame, we can do so much better than this.

No against United he worked his socks off and was sharper

 

Agree to disagree but there were plenty of groans whenever he lost the ball and plenty of comments that he was gassed. 

 

Amazing that he's gone from that performance you're describing to this in such a short space of time though.

Just can't see Jose taking Drogba off when we are 1 down.

i expect that team to come out guns blazing second half, 1 nil or 3 nil no difference if we lose, have to score, hammer the f**kers !!

Bring Drogba off and we win the game.

 

Simple.

Coz Mourinho hates youth simple as. Been the same at every club

 

Apologies for the rant coming, but that's just nonsense, and I'm tired of reading posts to that extent. 

 

People completely underestimate the physicality of the league, the pressure in front of tens of thousands where every single touch is scrutinised. In literally 1 or 2 performances a fanbase can write off a player that doesn't immediately hit the ground running.

 

It's be a massive call to bring an untested youngster into that. Even more so when it's the business end of the season.

 

There's a process to easing in youngsters. Drogba (despite performing poorly) was the most sensible option with Oscar carrying a knock and Cuadrado still very much teething.

People are giving up? It's only 0-1 and we've got the whole second half to play!

 

COME ON CHELSEA!

 

Surprised we haven't seen any "Congratulations Arsenal on your title win" posts.

We look a different team from the recent game.

With the cards on the table like this I'd take a draw at this point...

No one is giving up. People are just disappointed at the lack of urgency, and some fairly odd decisions on Mourinho's part.

 

Hopefully this goal will give us a kick up the ass, I've seen it happen many times before.

Come on folks it wasn't that bad, just got to put it right in the final third. 

 

We have had games where we make these teams look like Barcelona. This isn' the case today.

Change Cuadrado for Drogba, Oscar for Ramires and attack!

Can't believe it's happening today, we must improve the second half. I don't feel Hazard enough, Drogba is poor. We need all our energetic players now to play better football, the weather is bad but we can't lose this one! COME ON CHELS!!!!

I'm getting sick and tired of the youth comments also, it's like people can't grasp the logic of "pressure" and "inexperience"

dont like playing without a striker, but keeping drogba on basically means exactly that

Too many players think the work is done for the title, it isn't yet. Nothing from tonight  puts extra pressure on Sunday, Sort them out Jose.

 

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard enough!

What did we create?

Other than a Drogba scuff shot nothing.

Not even a shot on target

Cmon you blues... Show us your true character.

Drogba has to come off. Painful watching him. Oscar will do a better job up front.

 

Ramires as well is frustrating the hell out of me.

 

My main criticism is for Jose. He's being all friendly with Pearson throughout the game, sharing jokes with him and so on. When do you ever see managers do that? It's transmitting to our players, we do not want this badly enough, we're being too nice, as if the title's already in the bag. It's not. We need to go out and win.

 

We're better than them. We need to show our teeth. 

 

We deserve to be behind. Sure, we have dominated possession but they look more dangerous. Has their keeper even touched the ball?

 

Come on Chelsea. This matters. Go after them. Share the jokes with them at full-time.

 

Play like you really mean it.

 

F**king frustrating 45.

 

We have not given everything we've got and that's criminal.

 

Complacent, if you ask me.

 

I expect much better second half. I expect us to scare them. Show them why we're top of the league.

 

Let's win this.

We will have to

I don't think it's hard to believe a 37 year old can struggle for weeks after following an intense game at all

It's the same with some of the fans, too much confidence, it's not over yet, but we are more than capable of scoring two if we improve.

nobody mentioned that matic got nutmeged during the goal 

It's games like this that highlight how poor our squad depth is

How exactly does it do that? We've got the best back-up keeper in the league to call upon and we can thank him for being just 0-1 down. We're missing our first and second choice strikers, but other than that, it's pretty much our strongest possible eleven out there.

Why didn't Branna run back to his place is beyond me...

Our depth is fine, except CM (which is why Matic is our POTY for me, I don't know how he's still walking). But Jose utilised the squad poorly.
