When we’ve beaten Chelsea in recent years we’ve bullied and battered the. Won all tackles and second balls. That’s missing today.

Aaronson should have put his one on one chance away too. Other than that he's done nothing. Gnont has to replace him surely! DF might surprise us all and bring on Dan James.......

Way the keeper dives anything even slightly lifted is going in but it was a great move I agree.
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

Big risk with Stach.

He hurts himself he is out for the season.

Struijk and Justin out

Maybe DF is playing a genius hand by helping Chelsea get some form for the Spurs game. Makes sense.
