Woke up just in time for a 2-0 score. Obviously can't complain about the chance creation and attacking play since then, but I think I'll have to have a few more nightmares about the finishing.

Normally I would agree with your first statement, but we are looking far more dangerous going forward with this formation.
We are already 2-0 down, so why not stick with it and see if we can get back into he game?
They are that good with the ball at their feet, they could score if we had 10 defenders at the back.
CH has taken a risk, in a game that on paper is a write off anyway, so why stick with a new formation. It might come in useful later in the season?

I agree this game needs pace and movement upfront.
If we play a three, especially against a team without a proper number 9 BFG should be playing. Dunk in the middle, BFG left, Goldson right. In a three it needs to be mobile centre backs imo.

Wonder how long before a sub is used
We've created a few good chances but Chelsea will create more and more and we'll get well and truly tonked come the end.

Should have had at least one pen. However, watch Chelsea, they pass the ball about, they move and pass, why can't we do that? How much more skillful do you need to be to have the intelligence of pass and move?

Definitely the ref getting booed off the field. He's had a shocker.

Just an appalling/biased performance from John Moss. Two clear penalties and a marginal call turned down.
Disastrous start aside, the attacking intent against a top team has been pleasing and I'm really liking the look of Schelotto. The trick will be to take this forward against our contemporaries in the coming fixtures. Play like this, attach the jump leads with a new striker and we might be in business.

The penalty shouts were they all for us?
At Chelsea we stifled Hazard pretty effectively playing the four at the back like normal. We look effective going forward today because players are actually trying to get up there, not sure it is the formation so much as the willing to get up there and the fact that we are two down so pushing up whilst Chelsea are sitting back more.

Do you not understand why the good teams are at the top of the league? If every team could play like Chelsea, it really would be the best league in the world.

Bad start, better after. Need the next goal. I like this formation.

I've only ever been an albion fan, missed six home games since 1988 (including Gillingham and withdean....obviously), I'm not sure since the prem if 8 can be arsed to come again, not because we're losing just because I feel like a plastic when I'm clearly not, football IS DEAD!
