Chelsea vs WBA - Match Thread

Gave it a good go but not enough quality to cause Chelsea enough problems.

The next 6 games are make or break for us. 12-15 points and we have a solid chance, less than 10 and we're probably done.

If we are to go down then let's at least go down fighting.

Not looking good for you guys as the available points run out!! Having said that I think if you play like you did today you should be able to pick up some wins. You were undone today by the two Hazard goals, you won’t be facing someone as clinical as he was most weeks. The other obvious problem is the lack of any clinical edge for your forwards when the chances fall to them. Rodriguez, Rondon and then Evans all had good chances and not one of them was on target, take any of them and the game would have been different!!!!

Wasn't expecting a win tonight so the scoreline isn't surprising.

The worst news was Sturridge limping off so early in the game. Desperately needed to keep him fit; and I'd have put money on him putting that chance away that fell to Rodriguez.

You're right about not expecting a win. The frustration is that Bournemouth didn't expect to hit three at Stamford Bridge and Watford didn't expect to get four, but they both did. We lose 3-0 and that about sums us up. We are dreadful, we're adrift and we'll be relegated, and we deserve it.

Waving the white flag at Man City away was more frustrating to be honest. We did at least try and give Chelsea a game in this one; could have been very different if Rodriguez had scored from that early chance.

Goals change games ..... Bournemouth and Watford both scored first ..... we missed our chance to score first, then at 0 - 1 we missed our chance, we missed other chances to ...... that's the difference.

I agree with you but this season has been an unending "if only...". Unlike most other teams, we seem to need to create about ten chances before we score one of them. It used to be that we couldn't score but kept it tight, now we seem to be shipping goals for fun.

So have I missed anything ? Rolleyes

Sorry decided to play COD WW11
Fed up of watching our crap week in week out,
Suppose we won because I didn't watch, I mean we can't miss chances every week like Rondon always does,
Does Sturridge look match fit yet guys , bet he put one or two away tonight eh ?
