That was the first penalty miss of his career if I'm right...

first miss in the prem...he's had one saved elsewhere. can't remember if it was champions league, fa cup, or some such, if i had to guess, i think it was against sporting lisbon in the group stage.

Our fullbacks doing nothing in attack and when they do overlap, it's terrible deliveries. Zero width to our play. Is playing Azpilicueta and Ivanovic really worth paralyzing the team's attacking play? Azplicueta gets into a good shooting position, but skies it with his left foot. Get's into a great crossing position, but crosses it straight into their keeper's hands. Surely, I'm not the only one seeing this in almost every game vs team's we are expected to beat? We are relying again on Hazard doing something special. Same old Chelsea.

Also, can Ivanovic please be subbed off so he doesn't get carded?

Same pen as always :P

I thought it was slower than usual, not that well placed. You either hit in the middle of the goal or choose a side. He chose neither and didn't put any strength. He normally goes for a side or hits it in the middle, with a bit more strength. I guess he was sort of nervous, but he took the header very well.

That was third time he's missed/failed to score in Chelsea colours I think (Hazard pen).

Poor first half. I was hoping for much better... Oh well, just win then.

It's like Azpilicueta and Ivanovic are non-factors to our attacking play. Ivanovic gets the odd assist here and there and it gives off the feeling he's this amazing attacking fullback, when he isn't. Azpilicueta a non-factor in building any meaningful attack from the left. Everything is way too narrow. Palace were the better team.
