I would do anything for Chelsea, but I also like the comfort of my sofa

No it's not to bad, finally got tv working.

Very slow start, but we worked our way into the match and looked well on top by the time Alonso scored.

Another goal would be great, rather than having the anxiety of a one-goal lead.

Someone pop round to Val's and lock her in the kitchen please ?

 

I put something in the oven, expect another goal right after halftime.

Our players like to tempt fate it seems. We go up 1-0 and try to play like Pep's 2009 Barca. It's dangerous

I really dont get the score one then pass the ball to death between the back 3 and the midfield ???
It's just waiting for the one error that lets them in, why on earth don't we UP the tempo as opposed to faff about around the centre circle..

Women don’t belong in a professional kitchen!

In my prediction I thought we would get a penalty at min 30. I just hope this is one of those rare games where the team doesn't fall apart in the second half.

I'm not too fussed about Jorginho's ban when it would bring a Kova + RLC midfield in to play. 

We just need to turn the screw in the second half now.

I would call this an uninspiring lead ....but a lead nevertheless is better than being behind.   The next question will be whether the defence can hold out.

Strange game after some good early chances Bournemouth seem to have stopped playing. All its taken is some possession from us and they seem to have gone into their shell. Another goal would be fantastic and an appearance from RLC second half. 

Great finish from Alonso and good work in the lead up from Reece, Giroud and Jorginho.

Need to keep our foot on the throat here. Bournemouth will react in this second half. We'll need a second to win. I'd love to see RLC at some stage second half.

Take off Jorginho ht and introduce Ruben. He is a liability on yellow.

From your stories you're not working in one either!

I don't understand where the exciting attacking player from the start of the season has disappeared to. This is Sarriball all over again, but without Hazard to come up with something. We get into decent positions, then slow down and pass it backwards and let the opposition get back into position. 

Very very boring last 5. Really hope we up the tempo when we come out second half and not caught by playing lax football. Bournemouth must come out stronger at the start of the half.

We're still on track for Zeta's predicted 8-2 loss....

My first thought was that Frank would probably have a punt on Gilmour to replace Jorginho ... RLC is better further forward.

Best player: Reece James. 

We should just play Alonso alongside Mount behind Giroud

I'd go with Alonso myself ... I think Reece has crossed the ball better in many other games vs what we are seeing today ... start of the game they were getting in down our right flank rather too easily as well.

Did Jorginho get booked again, wtf for this time, let me guess, he got the opportunity to leave a really hard tackle in one of Bournemouth’s most dangerous players leaving him hurt and having to be carried off. Or did he get caught out by poor positioning, lack of pace and do a pointless silly foul.
That is I think about 10 bookings this year. He is a liability and I’d hook him off.

That's him missing two games now but unfortunately not when Kante is available to replace him.

He complained to the ref and got the yellow so you're very wrong. Him and Reece James created the goal.

Any decent streams? My regular one is down.
