Yup stand by my prediction. We can make chances but once again Diego is useless with his finishing and our defence cannot keep goals out. That draw still seems a really serious possible outcome. 

Even his goal was a sh*t finish

Took a big deflection.

Yea I saw on the replay looked like he hit a f**ker of a shot in real time 

I can never understand why we pass the ball when have a freekick 10 seconds before halftime. Just send the boys up and take the f**king free kick

That Goal changes everything.

wish we could keep a clean sheet !!!

 

this game is not done at all now 

Why did we pass it forward with no pressure, they didn't come at us so why not just pass it around?

Yeah, I was thinking we could have just kept passing it around forever, the way they were standing off us. The onus is on them to come and get it.

We started the half really well, 2 goals, good attacking football, counter attacks, but then we got it all behind and played poorly. 

Diego Costa still shows his poor form, Conte has to bench him in the second half. Give Batshuayi a chance to get 45 minutes. I'm 100% sure he will offer much more. 

He's hungry, looking to prove himself, motivated, will give 100% for the team. Just give him the chance!

We were doing the right thing too, under Jose we only go forward when we've drawn them out. It was just pure stupid to go at them when they had their formation completely set and ready for the counter

Relax. We are still winning.

Swear to God if these team managed to take 50% of the very decent chances it creates in every game we'd have a 50-60 GD, maddening how we've let them back into it.

and my god, how frustrating is Steve Mcmanaman? Every time something doesn't happen for bourenmouth he's using the word unfortunately, and how he could possibly think that isn't a handball before the goal is a joke 

Costa's mind has been in China since January. Unfortunately, his useless body is still here.

Just what i feared incompetent refs not wanting to make correct call, clear hand ball and nothing. 

Bottom litter refs at it again

We sat back rolling the ball between defenders in a casual manner enjoying the sun. Very little intensity upfront. Fluke or no fluke, but that goal was coming. I would bring Cesc straight into the second half.

A decent first 30 minutes, but then we let them back into it and conceded another sloppy goal. Costa, again, isn't performing well and Bournemouth are playing around Matic, he's not coping well with their movement.

Another 45 minutes of room pacing and screaming at the TV coming up then.

Sigh.

We've been sloppy from good possession and allowed them into a game that should be dead and buried. Get a killer instinct Blues. Conte also needs to tell them that goal difference could still play a part. 

Liverpool, Burnley,  Stoke, Swansea, palace, and city we have scores 1st and let teams back into it. 

We never used to give teams a sniff of goal, now it seems we invite chances. 

I think we need a 3rd to see this through now, as I'm just not confident we won't concede again. 

 

We're cracking up. Spurs will smell blood

I'm not blaming the ref for that. We had plenty of time to stop that happening. If we got tight to the Bournemouth player, then he doesn't score. Our defence invited him to take a shot.

Chelsea  passing is top of the league ,control the field no need for deep passes stay with what keeps the ball

wanna give costa benefit of the doubt, but that wasn't a good half for him. cahill and alonso have been a bit shaky too. 

Given our striker situation I stand by what I said. Diego either pulls his finger out and we win this league or he keeps being allowed to play like this and chances are we drop it and are sure to be knocked out of the fa cup. We cannot afford to waste chances against Spurs in that game. 

Have a front 3 of Pedro, Hazard, Willian bit more pace Costa is so out of form

Hand ball ref at it again lad

The goal only came when we got bored with sitting back and rolling the ball around between the defenders.

We scored a lucky one as did they. I feel we are a bit shaky as a team atm. Nothing solid in our play.

We need to think about this moment and not the title.
