DULLARD DELAP REDEMPTION

Stop the huddle, please. For f**k sake, does this lot have a humiliation fetish?

WTF! Delap?

I understand it. Newcastle defending in numbers and we don't have enough presence in their box

Don't worry, One Half FC will show up in the second half. Pedro and Enzo to score; Garnacho will be key in both but we'll slag him off anyway (mostly because of the eyebrows).

I'm not that shallow, sir, I slag him off for every creepy bit of him!

He isn’t a midfielder, but then you can’t play him as an overlapping fullback because he doesn’t have the legs.

He’s not a midfielder and never will be. Spent a lot of money on Santos and Lavia. Just play them.

No issue with this change. I worried it was going to be a like for like

Although you could argue one crap player off and..........

Delap on to save us.

Watch him stick him at RW

I’ll take Delap in the Red Card sweepstakes please.

This loyalty thing is crap. He's an employee who can find a different employer if he wants to. He doesn't owe the club or the supporters anything.

Maybe… but football isn’t just a job to us, the fans. We supported him for years through the injuries, so when he commits his future to the club, it means a lot to us. That’s what loyalty in football is all about.

He already failed to try and win the first ball launched at him.

Keeping my fingers crossed that we attack down the right more so you can marvel at Lewis Hall's buttocks

3 defensive errors in the one goal. Trev way out of position in no man’s land, James playing in midfield dropping in and not following the forward. Fofana letting Gordon run off him just jogging back. Total mess

I think the only person who didn't do anything wrong for the goal was Chalobah, he was covering for Cucurella who was in no mans land. James didn't notice and drop quick enough.

And got away with a foul, already leaving his mark on the game.

Enzo so slow, can't even keep the ball in and hold off Hall at the same time.

Cole needs to score, he's had ample chances

It was either that or build some lego in the center circle

He had a shot on target, have we not managed to train such bad habits out of him by now?

Since Liam Rosenior's first game in charge, no Premier League side has picked up more cards than Chelsea (22 yellows, 2 reds).

Only Tottenham have more yellow cards in total than Chelsea this season, Chelsea have three more on red cards. (Via @OptaJoe)

Delap had the shot, but he's so limited that he couldn't see the better pass to Cucurella was on.

Great flicked interception from Palmer to set up their counter-attack

I’m close to giving up on this

That's what Fofana says when strolling backwards

Considering we play possession football, we are terrible at beating a low block.
