Nothing. Did ourselves proud today in all areas - in particular the fans who didn’t stop singing & just took the piss out of the Chelsea ‘support’ - superb.

On the face of it, not a lot. But have scored one goal from open play in last eight games,

Given that 2/3rds of our points have come from home games against non top six, having only five non top 6 home games left means we need to start taking points elsewhere.

Hopefully the support will be as good up in Newcastle! I'm sure it will be. Can't wait - a goal or two would be most welcome too!!

No reason to panic. I wasn't expecting much but it would have been nice to get a goal against a big team psychologically. We'll keep going and can hold our heads high. Two huge league games coming up.......

It's what has been said before.
The PL is basically two leagues.
There's the top four, and then there is the rest, which is what we have to concentrate on.
Forget about beating the CL contenders and go with the hear and now.

In terms of this result and parts of the performance, not too much to worry about. The impotency going forwards is a worry however, one goal in 8 from open play is not good enough

And we are twelve in the league. What's wrong with that?:(

We are doing well but the teams below us are closing. Just hoping that Newcastle and Palace lose when they play their respective games this week.

Well Newcastle play Man City, and Palace play Arsenal so we can always hope.

Stop buying into the sky spin. A goal is a goal if it goes in off someones arm and a ref didnt see it (as today), its a penalty, free kick or it pings in off someones arse. We know we havent scored many goals we know we need a striker already they dont have to try and make it sound worse. Hopefully we get some points in the next two.

Or just win all 5 of those home games and we're as good as safe. It's not too bleak.

Plus we scored from open play 3 days ago! So you could just as easily say that we've gone 1 game without scoring from open play... hopefully you feel better now.

Certainly didn’t disgrace ourselves at all!
And yet again we get beaten by giving away 2 sloppy goals..... and to the current Premier League Champions!!
However, it’s getting very clear to see how players in this league are stronger and faster than us by far... unfortunately...!!!

Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Spurs, and Arsenal have all only beaten us 2-0.

At the start of the season, I'd have expected us to get thrashed against those teams.

Sloppy goals? F@@k me you defend perfectly for 90+ minutes where the tactics of your manager doesn't allow a breather. Hardly sloppy.

Yeah, I dunno. We're never gonna score a goal at any of the top six if we carry on so anemically in these games.

Not ungrateful to be here, yada yada, but yesterday, Arsenal and Spurs seemed a bit like saying you're grateful to be alive and then not getting out of bed all day. Wait, I do that all the time. Anyway, Chelsea were clearly penetrable but our ambition extended as far as a shut-out. Not the gamble to make when these teams have all spent third-world debts on attacking players and we can't defend set pieces.

It's also daft that Chelsea made subs before us. Daddy Hoo needs to take the initiative when it's so obviously required.

Is this an immediate need for audio? Or did you mean "here and now?"

I'm sorry. I can't help it. My father was a teacher and this bollox is ingrained in me.

Blimey! It's almost like Chelsea hadn't already been beaten by Burnley, Palace and West Ham in the PL this season...
