Disgusted with that yesterday but mainly the performance. Burnley might have the 3rd best home record in the league but our performance yesterday was, IMO, our worst of the season.

Burnley had the 2 best chances when it was`1-1 we created nothing of note after they scored apart from a few fluffed effort. It was far too comfortable for Burnley. Luiz and Courtois the only Chelea players to perform to a decent level.

You cant do much about Bradys free kick but I'm sure Conte would have told them dont give away stupid free kicks in dangerous areas with Brady and Barton in the side.

Costa has been brutal now for a few games, and today, it was close between him, Matic and Hazard for who was our worst performer, Pedro ran them close too but at least he scored early.

At the start of this 3 game run, Pool, Arsenal and Burnely I would have taken 5 points but its so disappointed that we under performed against a bunch of thugs like Burnely, they played to the conditions, the howling wind and sleet and the pitch that was so bad you wouldnt see it in Sunday league. I'd love if they went down from Dyche down Barnes and Barton, its a team full of c**ts.

Whoa, let's not say things we can't take back. We weren't great, but our 'performance' vs Arsenal at the Emirates takes that price by a fair distance. 

good view from a burnely fan on our game vs them. dunno if anyone see it, but interesting view from the oppo fan. i would say he isn't giving his team enough credit though; they played very well. 

 

We don't get in the refs face anywhere near as much since Jose left. I think his abrasive, defensive manner, whilst it has some benefits, just rubs off badly on everyone at a club and brings them into his delusion of being targeted and treated unfairly.

Is anyone watching PSG v Barca? The quick counter game of PSG reminds me a lot of how we played Barca in 2009. Except PSG took their chances. 

EDIT: Barcelona played off the park, by the way. If you compare their game today to the way they were when they lost 0-2 to Atletico in last season's quarter final then I would say they have regressed while PSG are taking pace to win their first Champions League title. Last season they won the treble in France and finished 31 points ahead of second placed Lyon. I would say they deserve a compliment, that's very impressive. I'd call them favourites in current form.

And regarding the fact that we have some time between Burnley and the next game in the Premier League, that's a very handy coincidence. Conte will need some time to remind our players that this is still very much a contest and a very embarrassing one for us to lose. I know we are playing Wolves in the FA Cup in between now and Swansea, but it would be an opportunity for Conte to give some key players a rest. Hazard, for example.

My wife was a woody fan, apparently. In 1973 I was into Aladdin Sane, 1975 was my first Led Zep concert and then by 1977 it was punk.

But I see what you mean.
