Closed Chelsea v West Brom

[Yeboii 1,844]

West Brom really know how to block

[Milan 17,955]

we better score from these chances knowing ourselves!

[DONI. 1,291]

The stream is shit

[AndersonBLUE 819]

some great defending and tackles going on too

[Hutcho 8,443]

is it just me or does mata seem quicker?

He's never exactly been slow, its just rare he is given space to run into as he generally has to get the ball early from deep...

Or your stream is just skipping lol...

[Mundaka 243]

Fantastic play so far, but it will be hard to keep this up i think (lots of running around).

Also against better oposition we'll need to score more/make better decisions in last 16 in my opinion because it's likely they will get a counter in like this.

Great first half but should have had a second especially one of Oscar's two glorious chances. Ba and Luiz particularly impressive. (uh oh, Ramires hurt?)

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

GOOD.

[Milan 17,955]

[Hutcho 8,443]

Ramires has probably had one of his best games from playing in the Pivot. And he looks injured.

[Blu4Lyf 46]

If that was Torres, he would've been standing with the defenders next to him just watching. That's the difference folks...

[Clevemayer 764]

very good first half and this is when lampard doesn't act like a chicken without his head and plays it cool and calm, he can help us defo but he has to play like THIS... sometimes he ws out of position maybe a bit too often but still 10 times better then else...

Rambo seems better too, but was he struggling at HT? hope not it was running in our favour we should keep the players on at leat till 75th min...

[Hutcho 8,443]

We have had our best first half we have played in a long time. BUT are only leading 1-0. Which worries me. We need to get another one and keep playing the same way. This will be points thrown away if we don't win this. Ba up front has created more space for the 3 behind, and mata and oscar have been extremely good, bar oscar not finishing off some great chances... All in all, extremely happy considering what i was expecting.

Come on chelsea.

Finally a decent game to watch.

The players showed more spirit. Ba was excellent, probably finally recovered from the nose injury.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Lampard and Ramires always get stick but they were brilliant in the first half, especially Lampard defensively. Both are distributing the ball nicely and are holding up well positionally. Luiz, Oscar and Ba also having great games. Hopefully Eden and Juan step it up just a little bit in the second half so we can grab a deserved second goal. KTBFFH.
