Fair play to them, but there's little to be positive about, they got behind the team, it doesn't mean that after the game they didn't feel negatively. After this many losses and a penalty shootout defeat, people shouldn't be criticised for being negative.

Well I was there and didn't feel too negatively at the end. We dominated and would have won if Diego had stayed on. Remy was poor. And Stoke fans were sh*t.

Too bad you are married to a wet spam fan - You are Proper Chels!!!

Fair play to all the Chelsea fans that went, it was great support. Maybe negative is the wrong word, the term I'd use right now is depressed and I don't blame any fan right now for feeling that way.

Jose tells the press that a few months ago they were all saying that other things (how we play)  were more important than the results - now according to them, the results are everything. He thinks the performance was better and is trying to appear upbeat

The oppo fans and other pundits have been lapping it up and rubbing it in lately, so many bitter comments on Twitter etc..people thinking they're stand up comedians with ‘funny’ comments, which aren't remotely funny or original, but we get called classless. It's funny, you can really see how bitter people are when we are on such bad form, I just hope they make the most of it, I just saw one that says that apparently we're blaming it all on the media, I don't know where these people get this cra*.

So he should.

We played our best football in a long time.

It's just our attacking players can't score

Had a great time. Last second equalizer by a striker

who looked out of breath 5 mins after coming on.

The support went mental. Pen shoot out with PFA player of season missing. Butland had a blinder. Thought we would miss the match at 5pm my 9 yr old daughter came up with a massive allergic reaction all over her. Long story but got meds & luckily it receded and we got in there at 7.35pm

One day soon our luck will return. Hopefully on Saturday,

going then back home Sunday. Kenedy & Traore up for it at least.

And so they should. If this kind of collapse was happening to any of our rivals I'd be taking no end of joy in it.

 

The day everyone starts being nice about us playing sh*te or feeling sorry for us is the day we're no longer relevant.

In spite on the loss I still hope Roman gives Jose the whole season to turn it around. I will say the same on Saturday regardless of the result.

Atmosphere from our fans was incredible. What a moment when the equaliser went in

I'll applaud the better effort      but we are so pedestrian going forward unless we are on a breakaway it's ridiculous and then when we get to the box it's the same old story, no one running into space or pulling defenders out of position; we simply go backwards and across the box and it's been this way for a very long time.  No one plays with freedom or ingenuity, the excitement of watching this team is becoming less with each passing week...sorry but even supposed lesser teams play with more gusto going forward than we do and I would believe that it's down to our tactics of defending first by not having enough players going forward and running ahead of the player with the ball....anyway a tough game to lose...let's hope our luck changes on Saturday, although it has a draw written all over it the way both teams are playing.

What was Traore like tonight?

Great support and further fuel to the fire that we are going to get no favours from refs.  Need to do things ourselves, and be much more clinical in attack.

 

Sad to say, but I knew we were out as soon as the deciding pen fell to Eden.

What was Traore like tonight?

 

he provided an excellent spark - I remember one instance where he would have scored, but there was an excellent foot save by Butland. He was working it & was a bit unlucky not to score.

He was good hit the side netting in ET

Looked well up for it. Had a couple more off target

attempts.

Anyone know where I can download the full game, as I unforunately couldn't watch it. Thanks.

Willing to shoot at least then.

How about kenedy?

How about kenedy?

 

He was playing LB...I thought he did ok....Diouf had his number, but that was good because Diouf wasn't forward & had to stay back to deal w/ Kenedy.

Seems he gets more time at lb than on the wing.

+1.....it was gamble by Jose - again, Kenedy kept Diouf penned back & he did cause trouble on the left flank with his runs. The kid definitely has potential. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Bardsley got a red card trying to deal w/ Kenedy's pace w/ a dangerous, desperate lunge for the ball.

To be honest, I think Traore gave us something that we been missing in our games. He had a good amount of shots in short time, he was excellent in tracking back, was more dangerous than all our attacking players. We should play him more, even give him a chance in the starting XI against Liverpool. 

 

We couldn't learn too much from that game, Zouma is not RB and youth should be playing.

Have only watched the highlights on my sky app, so don't get a feel for game flow, but we looked like we created the better chances. Once it gets to penalties it becomes a lottery though.

I want to win everything we play for, but we have bigger issues than losing to a premier league team on penalties.

I can't remember, but did Charlie Adams even receive a card during this match? Man that tackle he made on Willian was really bad. So bad, that Sparky pulled him to the sidelines & told him to chill the phuck out - if you forgot, check it out

15th in the league out of a cup and looking bad. Did I go back in time to 1985?!? [emoji15]

Good times. Meet your mates on the terraces, have a good laugh at the team, but there in numbers.

"I was there when we were (really) sh1t"

My analysis from last night ;

Hazard started well but faded badly

Remy isn't good enough

Ramires needs to be shot

Zouma cant play RB

Mikel is God
