If they had scored more goals they would have won. If we had Willian we probably would have scored more goals. Chelsea was as good as we allowed them to be. In the second half once we got to grips with how they were playing it was mostly under our control.
Is that you Kevin Keegan

I was not happy in the first half, we did not start at all well, settled down about half way through the half. When they scored I was worried because I couldn't see us getting back into it but thankfully we changed a few things around and the players got their acts together, we came from behind and got a very good result.
I thought defensively we were ok, it's still an area of the pitch that needs to be addressed in the summer. They all looked like they had a mistake in them today. Valencia is the best we've got at right back that's fair enough, at centre half we just need to get Bailly back in, he'll build up his match fitness pretty quick I'm sure, either Jones, Lindelof or Rojo playing alongside him. I think we need to get another top centre half in the summer because it is all swings and roundabouts with the majority of the players we have there. Young at left back again, I just don't get it, I think he's alright there but why are we playing him over Shaw still? I don't understand, apparently Shaw looked unhappy leaving the stadium today and I'm not surprised.
The midfield three worked a treat today, credit to all of them.
In attack, we've definitely got the personnel, it's just getting the right combination and also providing them with the service.
You could argue this is the start of a difficult period with us for fixtures but at least the players don't play until next Monday now, hopefully we can get a couple back from injury in that time.
