Can we just forfeit the rest of the game? Doubt we will get a shot on target let alone a goal.

I OFFICIALLY DONT CARE NOW - I WILL SETTLE FOR 17TH PLACE - which means all we need to do is match Cardiffs result each week and we will finish 5 points ahead of them.ManC doing the favour so far
We've only had one less shot on target than Chelsea.

Yep. Tonight you just have to hold your hands up and say fair enough.
We NEED to wake up when playing the games against teams outside top 6 though. Those are the games that count, and we haven't turned up in enough of those games
Only 1 down though tonight... You never know...

Are you watching a different game to me?
Our speed of thought when in possession is too slow to affect the game

Go and watch Citeh instead then. They're on SKY - channel 401.
What to say ?
Better than Saturday - well would have been difficult to be worse , so yes better
Likely to get a better result than Saturday - not a chance on the first half display I am afraid to say , despite looking fairly solid at the back and actually having a chance or two I feel Chelsea have at least 3 more gears to go through which we dont
End result ? - likely to be a brave effort against a tops 6 side but unlikely to score so unlikely to get any points
But I live in hope even though its the smallest amount of hope I have had this season sadly.

Answer 1
Like we did against Man Utd in both home games since promotion? Like we did at home v Arsenal last season? Why does it have to be 'pack the defence and delay the inevitable' or 'get smashed with any other approach'?. That's a nonsense myth, it's simplistic argument that makes football tactics out to be all or nothing. As if if you don't park 10 men behind the ball for all 90mins you will lose 8-0. It's simply not true. I'm not saying abandon all defensive duties, play 1-1-8 (and send Ryan up front). But what we've been doing isn't working. What's the definition of insanity again?
Answer 2
We don't have the squad to play this way, either!
We keep being told in threads to enjoy this ride, to lap it up, with it being far better than playing Bolton etc in the awful Championship.
So we need to be grateful simply to admire Hazard & co in the greatest show on earth.
