We did not deserve that. If we can play like this against a top side why can't we do it against the lesser sides? Please don't blame Johnstone as the save a couple of minutes before kept us in it. When you're down that's the way it goes.

The save before was great and Johnstone has made some super shot stops in other games. You say don’t blame Johnstone but who do you blame - Baggie Bird!!! Of course it’s Johnstone’s fault! Nobody denies Johnstone is an excellent shot stopper but his positioning and coming off his line costs us another point - yet again! Put it clearly - Ben Foster is a different class and still is compared to Johnstone - that’s a fact!

Never said Johnstone's not a good shot stopper - he's great! His positional sense and control of the line though is like a pub player!! Can't defend him - how many points does he cost us! You can't use an argument - well he's made some good saves - is that not what keepers do!!!!

How can you even class Johnstone in Ben Foster's league - you can't! Wish he would make these stupid blunders when we are getting hammered and it does not matter! Still think Johnstone could have done better with one or two of the Chelsea goals!

On another note - Gallagher is absolutely immense and makes three of Sawyers and Livermore. Thought Krov played well again too!
