Chelsea deserved to win they played a very clever game ino they tired us out first half and then turned the screw after about 60 mins and after that it was the longest 30 mins ever , but 3 or 4 nah that was literally as many chances as you had really and we had 1 or 2 ourselves
Maybe a bit harsh. 2 or 3 certainly. Anyway 3points whatever the amount.
 
true , but I don't think possession counts if you aren't effective with it and they didn't really create much I think if we'd held out there's an argument we deserved the point .
Had you had held out through dogged defending it would have been perceived as a deserved point. Alternately from a Chelsea perspective having hit the bar and your goalie making two incredible saves he knew nothing about could also have said we were unlucky not to have won.

If you're playing without the ball for long periods you'll get tired. Not just you, but any team.

indeed im just delighted we beat man united because if we'd lost both we really would be in dep water and that;s what I expected after the Leicester game
we will beat Bournemouth wolves and villa no doubt in my mind !!

well maybe get 4 to 7 points in those games I hope

i'm aware if that I actually stated that myself I'm just saying being effective with the ball is more important than possession . I think Lampard and Chelsea tired us out and then turned the screw at the right moment .. spot on from them , however I would have anticipated bruce to have read that and brought on some legs in our already exhausted midfield , but instead he brough on andy Carrol and that was bewildering .. anyway Chelsea deserved the win and I think we did ok overall against a side bang in form atm away from home.. spot on form Lampard today too
