Thought we've been the much better team and didn't deserve to go 1 down. Stoke have been dirty as **** and managed to get away with murder until Bardsley's 2nd yellow.
As we proved against barca, ten men , if defending properly can hold out. But no matter what, at least Arsenal lost lol
A little yes, but as soon as their goal went in heads went down again. Its only since we levelled that we truly picked up and actually showed a bit of invention. Its been the same thing all season, we play alright, make an error or get a bad bit of luck-and then struggle to respond/**** ourselves. Its getting to the point where i dont want excuses any more.
That couldn't have ended any worse for Chelsea's confidence and morale, especially Hazard who's confidence must be on the floor after that
I had a feeling Hazard would miss his penalty, didn't expect him to be the last taker though. Felt sorry for Willian tonight, he was the only man playing (well) in midfield and attack until Kennedy and Traore came on.
They have to pick themselves up quickly, it wasn't the reserve side so they need to recover in time for Liverpool, Saturday lunchtime.
Then they must expect a high energy bout of gegenpressing with Klopp's charges. Have they got the legs?
The gegenpressing lasts about 10 mins each half, then they are knackered and go back to plodding (see Can for description)
