    Don't think it was that bad to be honest. We were playing the European champions away. Sure, there were some things that didn't work, but nothing to be too despondent about. I'm sure some teams will get a stuffing there.

    I know you're dissapointed, so am I
    but is it poor that we got beat by a team that has added players worth more than our total squad
    in just this transfer window

    The only think I disappointed about was the front two. Far too wasteful with the chances we made.

    The fact that we made the chances against a team like Chelsea was encouraging

    Dodgy pen, Hatem looked incredible, we missed Tiote. We played some nice football in the second half just lacked the cutting edge in the final 3rd. Ba should have scored, and fair play Cisse put a shift in despite playing Thursday.

    Second goal was class, Hazard is quality. Torres can go **** himself.

    We've played one of the toughest games of the season and lost, no shame sure we will do well again this year, especially when we played in Greece at the same time on Thursday and they got a very soft penalty.

    Exactly if we tank Villa, we'll be ahead of Man Utd, Tottenham and Liverpool having played Chelsea away already.

    Who did Anita put a crunching tackle on first half?

    To be fair irrespective of decisions and timings of games, Chelsea are a very good team who will be challenging for the title. Always disappointed to lose but no shame in the defeat today for me.

    I don't even think you've got out of 2nd gear yet and still got 3 points from 6 in two difficult games and a tight schedule. That Ba goal (v Spurs) was technically one of the best I've seen. If Rooney or a United player had scored that the media would be raving about it.

    Ben Arfa, Ba, Tiote and Cabaye are simply incredible players
