Burnley v Chelsea

S.D....really pleased



yeah sure.....Chelsea dominated the play -know how to move the ball about - look top-end....but for all the money spent, it took an own goal and an unsighted Pope for them to get the win - we get a lucky deflection in the net and our creativity was absent - so as poor as we were - they still needed luck to win it......seems like money for old rope, and for us - a good chance squandered.

You who do, can put the blame on the gulf of better players, superstars coming on as Subs and all the rest.

I'm talking about the performance, it was dire, Chelsea and their super stars did not make us play poorly, we did that ourselves.

I thought Cahill was dominant nullifying our aerial threat with Curtois catching the rest and their crowding tactics stopped our passing game. Sean would not have expected them to play two up front as that’s the first time in 7 years they have done it.we struggled to cope with them both and Moses was outstanding beating us for pace and hiding at the back post. Hazard was a class apart. Tarks seems to have gone off since his England debut. Lennon was poor but always had two to beat. Wood was anonymous. No movement at throw ins and few making runs made it easier for them.

Will Stoke now try 2 up front?

LET Player ratings give everyone 6 apart from Cork 8, Berg 7 and Long 5.
