Some excellent performances in a gallant defeat. Another day and we might well have won because their goal was, to say the least, fortunate. It says how well we defended that players like Costa and Fabregas looked increasingly ordinary. Their main strategy seemed to be Hazard's falling over round the box.
Thought Dawson, Evans and Macauley played well. Foster did well what little he had to. I was very impressed by Yacob who looked a class player. I think Pulis was right with the subs, although both Field and McLean played well. Either of them could have been in trouble with the ref with Chelsea trying to buy fouls so often.
I think Pulis might have his work cut out to keep the performance levels of Livermore and especially Chadli, consistently good. They both seem inconsistent.
