And Willian lays it off to Cahill for whatever reason. Congratulations to Crystal Palace. Wow!

Just 2 more loses like this shambolic display and it's over

 

Shambolic display? FFS, get a grip. Chelsea absolutely dominated this match. They just couldn't get it in the net. Without a 90 second lapse in defending, the team would be leaving the pitch with all three points. The had a penalty denied, shit refereeing, and have had to attack 11 men in front of the ball all match. Finishing was poor, but they've looked so much better in this loss than they have in some wins.

Had we got the penalty, this would have been a different game. 

Cant make excuses though. Costa needs to be dropped.

I'm out. People like the fine people on talkchelsea makes my life as a Chelsea fan even worse. As embarrassing as our performance today. Reluctant to see the bigger picture. This against City and we go off as well and it's a civil war here.

If Conte starts with Costa next game... Argh I can already see that.

The city game is must win now

[FabHazard 655]

Awful second half...players thought they won the match already...no one in the box to finish the chances...players crossing the ball when there are 2 players in the box....terrible

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

C'mon Arsenal!! Fucking hell, really disappointing

Maybe you're reluctant to see the bigger picture. We played extremely well today in certain points, certain players completely let us down. See ya.

In the 2nd half, we were too impatient. Started to play too directly.

Play this exact game 99 more times and you would win 99 times, smashing them at least 90 times. Unbelievable stuff.

One of those days. I guess it was due. Chels will still win the league.

 

This kind of games happen, we have been very lucky so far. Today we could not score and they scored the second goal from lucky bounce. It is one of those days.

It's spurs who's the threat now they have much easier run than us

We're in serious trouble if we don't beat City now.

Exactly. And it's not like this doesn't happen to other top teams in the Premier League. Might not be the best league quality-wise but surely is in terms of competition. Today we just saw that again.

Really poor from Costa though. Costa from last October would have scored a hat trick today.

I know mate. BUT we face City next. Imagine if they win at Arsenal and beat us? However unlikely that scenario is, if some of our players play like they did in this game, City will turn us over. Then it will be 4 points!!

Funny because Costa was the one that destroyed City away to begin with. Mate, chill, you're the one embarrassing Chelsea fans in this thread.

I think this was just one of those matches.  We've played worse and won.  It happens.  We picked up 3 points at other times in the season where we didn't really deserve more than 1.

Palace were efficient with their chances.  Snatch and grab.  Congrats Palace, on to the next.
