Been a long time since we've been in a situation like this, hopefully we'll be able to snatch a quick equaliser after the break and settle the nerves a bit. 

This is how Barca must have felt in 2012 when they played us 

Very suspect defending for our 2 goals we conceded

How the hell are we losing this?

Unforgivable switch-offs on two occasions over two minutes but we are absolutely thrashing them.

Need to win this!

Dramatic 3 2 victory coming. 

If there is any justice it won't just be 3-2, hope we come out and give them the smack down

We're definitely the better team on the pitch, we need much more attacking power to score two goals. 

I was thinking about a fresh idea, Conte should bring up Batshuayi.

Batshuayi is hungry for minutes, he will does his best to impress Conte and he can get that chance today, just look how Origi came against Everton. Give the lad a chance, I don't care if he will replace Costa or will play together with Costa, he just need minutes. 

Pedro - Fabregas - Kante - Alonso

--------------- Hazard -------------

Batshuayi --------- Costa 

 

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!

comical defending and lady luck smiling on palace sums up our first half,would take a point now 

Matic off Willian on 

How is Costa playing? I'm working so I'm unable to watch today. If he's still playing the same surely it's worth giving Michy a chance.

We're playing absolutely fantastic football, probably the best in 2017 so far, and we're trailing... To crystal palace... Feck me

This isn't a Chelsea problem, it's every top club's proper fans getting priced out the game. 

Logic suggest that if we continue to play like this we will score but logic has no place in football, I'd consider michi for Matic 

This is going to be one of those games where every shot they have on target goes in, and our own finishing lets us down, isn't it?

Batman with the winner

pretty idiotic from the defenders, especially on the first goal. i was glad we were able to score early, hoping that it would force them to go out and not park for a draw. but now that they've turned the scoreline, they pretty much have no reason whatsoever to come and play. and we know they won't, after all they are Palace, horrible club to begin with

Change the shape maybe? 

 

Back 4 of Azpi, Cahill, Luiz and Alonso, middle two of Kante and cesc, front 4 of hazard, Pedro, Costa and batman. Only 1 sub needed to be used then. 

Do not honestly know. Too often you see games with a spree of early goals then nothing for the rest of the game. Could be one of those days. And honestly if we can score, do Zaha and Co just go straight up the other end and score? 

Weird game. Entertaining but also very frustrating.

 

Would have preferred an equaliser before half time, now they have an opportunity to regroup and plan their approach for the second half. We were let down big time by the officials with that handball decision; I think its about time the officials benefitted from all the multi-angle slow motions replays we get to see at home. Football is so far behind other sports in this respect it's insane.

Been poor.  2 or 3 free crosses have come to the box with costa nowhere to be found.  He's done ok holding up the ball though, tbf 

I blame whoever predicted an  8-0 win.

I said zaha benteke puncheon and Armstrong are their danger men. And I'm sure conte told them about their pace.

really poor goals we conceded

Yeah, because as has been so apparent on this very site recently getting a ticket now is such a piece of cake.

The truth is that the Bridge is largely full of affluent middle class types and tourists these days. And you can't force them to make a noise when they're busy taking selfies and tweeting.

Forgot he was playing. He's done literally nothing.

I know decisions are supposed to even out over the season. But we have hardly had a pen for 2 seasons now. That one was also a red card aswell.
