Is it me or is Stamford Bridge mute?

I don't think the performance that half was as bad as people are making out. We've offered very little going forward, but we've slowed the game down at every opportunity and tried to make it really difficult for Chelsea who look very sharp. If we can do this up until the last 10 minutes, we can have a go as more space opens up.

We've taken a point off liverpool, a point away to city and 3 off arsenal this season, I don't see 4 points being borderline ludicrous. definitely achievable if the players work hard enough and add in bit of luck.

4/5 points out of these next three games would be absolutely huge, although I'd absolutely settle for 3.

Great night for us 

Is it just me or do we seem to say this every year? that "coleman needs to play from the bench". Our perennial search for an RB. As you say, let's hope Patterson can stay fit.

I think he's going to be expecting to play another season for us at least. I think we need him here to be honest.

Those are the remaining fixtures, top 6 in bold, bottom 12 in italics. I'm going to predict the bottom 3 as:
18th will be a battle between West Ham / Bournemouth / Leicester / Palace / Everton. I'm going say Bournemouth. 
19th Leeds
20th Southampton
It's a really tight one this season. This time last year, there was only 5 teams battling it out. This year it's more like 9!

I agree with all of this. We need a left back. 

And not always opposition defenders 😂😂

I'll take 3 points from those games right now

I'd probably prefer Godfrey to stay there but wouldn't be arsed of Myko came back in. Both are about the same ability offensively and defensively, they both seem to get beaten 3 or 4 times a game and provide fuck all going forward. I think Dyche will prefer Mykolenko because he's left footed and will cross more often, but I like the way Godfrey is so quick he can cause absolute panic for defenders.

Especially with Chelsea finding their form. Think we could grab a surprise 3 points from Spurs, they're so hot and cold lately

Chelsea(a), spurs(h) and United(a) next. We needed those three today.

I hope Dyche goes to town on the VAR for that decision.

Honestly managers get fined for talking against these ridiculous decisions by the referees. When are the referees going to be held accountable for the inconsistencies week in week out? We've seen instances this season where vars have 'forgotten' to draw lines on a fucking offside image. Decisions like this can be absolutely catastrophic for teams in our position.
Is it a hand ball? I don't know - nobody knows apart from Gray. That's not the point. The VAR has GUESSED that it's handball. If you're reduced to guessing it means that the referee hasn't made a clear and obvious mistake, that's the rule isn't it? It has to be clear and obvious? 
How long have we been doing this dance? And still fuck all has been done about it. It's absolutely ruining the game.

Clear and fucking obvious my fucking arse fuck off. Scrap it, ruining the fucking game week in week out. A big 6 get that decision the game is fucking gone.

Chelsea(a), spurs(h) and United(a) next. We needed those three today.

Get into the var assistant. Scandalous
