We started slowly, but after Burns had gone off injured and was replaced by Bernardo we gradually got into the match , The longer the second half went on , the more we took control and looked the likeliest team to get the three points , a point was probably a fair result

Other than the first 30 minutes when they were all over you, I thought you played really well.
The goal was a bit special as well.
Entertaining game for a neutral, you more than deserved that point and could have won it in the last few minutes.
If I’m brutally honest, I don’t expect to be as entertained as much in our game later on against Norwich.
I still expect to pick up points mind.

Thank you. A great prediction on my part that AJ would score via a bicycle kick!

Jahanbakhsh became the fifth different Brighton player to score a Premier League goal as a substitute this season, more than any other side in the competition.
Despite only coming on as a 68th-minute substitute, no Brighton player had more shots (three) or created more chances (three) than goalscorer Jahanbakhsh.

Enjoyed that in the main but big credit to Potter for the half time change and team talk. I personally felt our passing was woeful today but Chelsea partly inflicted that on us with their closing down and muscular break up of the play that the referee chose to do nothing about. Under that sort of pressure and poor officiating we knocked it short, hard or wide far too often, which is a problem when you play a possession game.
Much better in the second half and the goal was no more than we deserved. Thought we could have pinched all three at the death. The goal was (another) incredible moment - what a festive season Ali J has had. But overall we need to find a way to deal with physical sides who get in the ref's ear.

Just before our dominating period and goal Potter had a long talk with Trossard on the sidelines as chelsea made thier sub.
It's always hard to adapt from Eredivisie to Premier League. In Holland you play man-man in defence so when wingers come to the PL they have to change their play style and decisions a lot. Also in Holland you learn to pass marked players as all Dutch teams try to teach players to deal with small spaces. To a lot of British players that concept is very alien. Propper does this a lot and a few players have a hard time dealing with it which is why some of his passing look really awkward sometimes.

How many systems did we use today? I spotted 4-3-1-2, 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-2-2 and a 4-2-4
Lampard’s comments:
Lampard was frustrated with Chelsea’s lacklustre display and admitted he was ‘concerned’ by their recent lack of consistency. ‘In the first half, the game was there to be won. We weren’t ruthless enough. We got the goal and we had the possession. But we just didn’t kill the game off,’ the Chelsea manager told BT Sport. ‘We allowed them to stay in the game. In the end it was a wonder goal but we were lucky not to lose the game. ‘In the end, the tactics matched up for both teams but they were better than us. We have to take that on the chin. ‘The lack of consistency is a concern. It’s something we absolutely have to look at. ‘We have to look at the game today. It’s a point, I’m not happy with the performance.’

I find that the commentary team of NBC Sports in the States seems a bit more impartial and have given us a fair amount of praise recently. Quite refreshing really
They were selling some particulary nice half and half scarves dated and everything.
