Poveda seemed a strange choice to me too, but it’s Bielsa so hey-ho.

Llorente loses it and we are carved open.

This has a 4-1 look on.

Rod on Ali off.

Klich and Rodrigo combine, just can’t find Bamford but it’s better from us.

All we've done this half is pass between coops and Llorente and then Llorente has kicked it long to a Chelsea player. Has happened about 6 or 7 seven times now

Llorente booked after bringing down Chelsea player bursting forward. Need to stop these breaks at source.
