we've played really well but two big lapses have punished us.

no need to panic yet (although for me pedro is always going to give them a chance), but in saying that if palace frustrate us (or score) for 20 minutes we'll be in big trouble.

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.

Bitching about the guys who pay the money to go there is pointless. We are losing to palace so it's hardly going to be bouncing 

Not many places are full of voice when they are behind for the majority of a half. 

After our goal and for the next few minutes after that, it was sloppy on our part.

We have settled down after conceding but since we now trail, we have to work twice as hard.

I can't seem to fathom that we will go down for this one, especially after we've time and time again shown our resilience. C'MON YOU BLUES!

Some disgraceful defending there. Fell asleep after our goal, and got the double sucker-punch.

 

Picked it up again after that, and probably had enough chances to lead again, but nope, we're still behind. This is not a game we should be dropping points in. It's the sort of result that would give confidence to the chasing pack, and potentially take confidence away from our lads.

 

Need to comeback and win this one, and show the championship credentials we've shown most of this season.

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

May be we need a bigger ground for the silent ones then.

But , we also support our players when we are only winning

Starting Pedro for Moses showing some warts and Pedro has been awkward going forward today too.  Ready to see palace's net bulge several times in the 2nd half and shut these palace fans up.

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

Hope he's sold in the summer. Been a passenger for months now.

Was served one chance on a platter by Fabregas as well and put it the only place where the keeper could have saved it.

Even if we lose today we'll still have some breathing room..hopefully Spuds will drop points at Burnley and City may drop points tomorrow.

If Zaha is not marked in the second half we will concede the third as Benteke turns into Messi against Chelsea ( he scores every time )

72% , 8 shots on target , penalty shout 

hopefully can rescue a point at least. So far looks like 1 of those days .........that we have not witnessed at the Bridge in a longtime 

COME ON CHELSEA !!'

season defining half coming up lose today and against city on weds then it could all crumble

Hey you have to give credit to conte. He is usually on the money. He has been saying for a while the title race is not finished and he has already experienced losing a title from a big lead, and so far this game is proving his point. 

Whisper it quietly too but if we lose this Liverpool are 10 behind and have 9 remaining fixtures against lower to mid table sides. Back to a 4 horse race.

Wtf Matic comes out, it's just too defensive and he brings nothing to the team.

Kante is having probably his worst game of the year 

What is it going to take for Diego to wake up? 

Here we go with the time wasting.

Big Sam down to a tee 

And what I would give for Matic to act like he's interested in making something happen...

Costa has completely gone off the boil since that China crisis stuff and if he doesn't want to be here then we have to let him go, we saw last season what can happen when players get the hump for whatever reason, and if he's just going to mope around sulking and not doing what he's paid handsomely to do, then it's time to get someone in who will do it and be shot of him.

Yellow?!?!?!?!?? 

this ref is useless !!

That was never a yellow f**king card, he went for the ball and wasn't even a bad challenge.

Wouldn't mind seeing a swap between costa and greizman in the summer tbh..

Diego to get sent off? Was never a yellow 

Ref is terrible, every f**king week

I;m not sure it's about the effort or passion, he just isn't getting into the box last last season. He needs to not just stick to holding the ball up and trying to assist. It's like he's doing everything but his main responsibility
