What game were you at then because it doesn't appear to have been BHA v Chelsea?

As did Thierry Henry and Jamie Redknapp on Sky.

What do they know, when did Terry Henry last run a pub and work for the Surrey FA? That's the kind of knowledge we are up against here.
Big chances (50% conversion) would have made the score 2.5 - 4 so we lost out on chances even if we could shoot/head straight. Disallowed two of the most blatant penalties I have ever seen. 2-4 or 3-4 would have been fair.
Chelsea's pretty passing game was easy on the eye and produced dividends twice. Running into space spends too much energy and they could not keep it up for the whole game and did not need to. They were a bit late to discover that the Albion system was actually more vulnerable to the accurate long ball and that we missed Bruno in defence.
Hindsight: I wonder if man-marking Hazard would have worked?
Got eyes Referee ?
CH interviews. He has an amazing quality of looking informative without saying anything revealing much at all. Understatement does not give much media controversy. Quite clear about the penalties,
Penalties: two highly professional deliberate fouls of such skill they were made to look like accidents. cf: the subtle nudge in the back as a striker prepares to shoot, propelling him into a forward dive.
PS: Chelsea weren't even in control of the game for the most part.

We did play well when we were 2 down . We don't know how much Chelsea we're playing in 3rd gear after that !

Did you not notice the two penalty appeals turned down - both good shouts and one of which looked nailed on. We also hit the post and Caballero had some decent saves to make. They were better than us, but not 4-0s worth.
As I mentioned in another thread, I believe if we got and scored the first penalty Chelsea would have just cut through us to score more in the first half and slap down any resistance we had.
We've seen games where one team has a lot possession, but it's in their own half or in the middle third where it's no threat to the team without the ball and they can sit back and wait for the attack. Such is the gulf in class, Chelsea could let us play it around their box and not get too scared. Sure we hit the woodwork, and should have had at least one penalty, but as a team, they were at least 4 goals better than us.

From Mignolet saving from Murray to the ball in the back of our net - 14.4 seconds.....
They scored 5, Chelsea only 4. Our one reply was dubious. No penalty appeals turned down and any half-way decent attacking move from us totally nullified......

Exactly my view they seemed to be playing well within themselves and could have upped the rate whenever they wanted. Perhaps the score should have finished 2-6
