People can't blame the referee for how badly we defended.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry to be honest. I think this underlines we're nowhere near being good enough to win the title.

People still think our defence is good enough?

Disgusting, fuck off.

COME ON CHELSEA! PLEASSSSEEEEEE.

Can't believe how Jekyll and Hyde we are.

Jesus, we're getting carved open quite easily by these lofted through-balls. A serious concern.

Demba Ba comes on. He has 4 goals in five games in English football vs Stoke.

Come on you cunts, let's win this. Perfect response - again. Great character.

SCHURRRRLEEEEEEE

Yeah nice one lads. Fucking hell.

COME ON CHELSEAAAAAAA

Even I can't defend Cech for that absolute brainfart.

And people here think we're sound defensively and don't need any replacements. Our defence is laughably bad.

Fuck off

I think, Henrique, our major problem is we don't have any alternative but to play him, which affects his performance as he can't possibly play at 100% every game. He's 35, now!

No, stumbled makes it sound like we stumbled over the finish line, which we did. We edged a 4-3, we didn't kill them 4-0 as some people seem to think we did.

BANNED.

He was terrible yesterday - he worked hard for the team, but ultimately have to judge him on what he did in an offensive aspect; which was negligible! Very disappointing. However he has been generally decent for us this season, so we can't be too harsh on him for one bad game. Hopefully he pops up and bags a couple the next match he plays in.

Heard about this. Dire. Millwall fans are the scum of the earth.

You're completely missing the point :mellow: A contribution to the team scoring is obviously including both goals and assists... Nice one, thanks for that!

I'd love to win every game 4-3! But it does worry me that we've been letting in a lot of (sloppy or otherwise) goals this season. But a win is a win, as I said on the first page of this thread, and I'm delighted with that fact. But people almost seem to not care about the fact we shipped three poor goals. That's a major concern for me. It's not just the quantity of goals we've let in that concerns me (although, in fairness, only Southampton, Arsenal and Everton have let in less), but the manner of them; many of them are down to general brain-farts. If we don't stop making stupid school-boy mistakes, eventually we'll be punished by a more clinical side, such as the three named above.

That's interesting, the last time I looked at the table they had just eight points from a possible 42 in the league. Formidable indeed. Let's not kid ourselves here, we weren't playing a team even of Swansea or Cardiff's quality. The fact we shipped three goals to Sunderland is concerning, regardless of the circumstances. It doesn't matter how or why, we still let in three goals. If that doesn't really concern you then great, move on. I'm very worried about our defensive lapses - mainly caused by indescribable brain-farts, á la Luiz against Cardiff, Essien against Southampton, Ivanovic against Basel etc. etc. - and think that if we do that sort of thing against the likes of Arsenal, City, or Liverpool, we'll be seriously punished for it.
