I thought our performance against Chelsea showed a real positive attitude and desire to create chances and push forward.

15 attempts on goal is very creditable and a missed penalty could have made for a different game altogether.

I agree we were much better going forward against Chelsea, mainly due to scrapping the outdated 442 and going for a 451. But we were playing against 10 men, and they still could have had 6 or 7 goals if they finished their chances.

Our season hinges on what we do in the window over the next 6 days and, if I am honest, we don't complete deals anywhere near quick enough to get in everyone we need.
