Watching the replay, can't blame Morgan there. 

That cross would look good coming off the boot of Beckham.

[Grebfromgrebland]

Morgan should have defended that header but he was to slow and off balance.

 

Just goes to show how costly not being able to attract a top defender is going to be... Unless dragovic is the answer.

[justfoxes]

Sorry Mahrez needs a kick up the arse should be 1 up ourselves Slimani is having a mare

Invest in a VPN, mate - I got nothing without one today, put the VPN on and bingo...

Which one did you go for? how much was it?

IPVanish - about $50 I think

[ZeGuy]

Thank fvck Moses isn't that bright.

[dmayne7]

King on for James. Something has to give in the middle and Wilf has been decent

[ZeGuy]

I'd like to see Nacho.

Cross was in perfect and Morata had the angle and all the leverage.  

[Guest Kopfkino]

God help us if Silva doesn't get registered. James is not a regular starter.

 

I don't know why Morgan is getting slated for the goal. Absolutely class ball in and a striker like Morata is not gonna miss them

[Milo]

Decent half - could've been a lot worse. We are in this still.

 

Nacho man for Slim

[jim5000]

Get Slimani off, he offers nothing. Nacho is our man!!!

[MC Prussian]

Held up our own pretty well. But Chelsea are deadly when they want to punish the opposition for wasted chances.

 

For all the critique aimed at Slimani, let's just say Courtois reacted brilliantly.

[Webbo]

About what we expected. We had a few chances though. Morgan's been a rock.

[HankMarvin]

they have so much time on the ball

 

only vardy presses with intent

Yep, there aren't many defenders that would have got to that, World class crosses can beat any defender. 

[SecretPro]

NACCCCHHHHOOOOOO

[Merging Cultures]

I can understand Mahrez trying to bring Slimani in then. I think he is probably desperate to get going properly and Mahrez wanted to help his mate out.

Can we agree yet that Slimani shouldn't be anywhere near starting?

[Bazly]

Been a decent half. Still some hangers on wasting shirts in the team. James absent for the most part, Simpson cannot close down and Slim cannot finish.

WOW

also.. i HATE that the commentstors appear to assume that every chelsea attack will be a goal

Honestly, they do look like scoring each time ! They constantly have at least 3 men INSIDE our box each and every time they go forward.

only thing he should be starting today is his dinner

[Guest]

Fun first half.

 

We've done well.

 

Mahrez may not have been good but he certainly was involved.

 

I said 2-1 and for that Chelsea had to score once.

 

We can do this.

I totally agree, I am far from Slims biggest fan and think Sporting saw us coming but I thought it was a good reaction save.

No. 

[Melbourne Fuchs]

Exemplary defending from us, we're unlucky to be behind. Riyad should have passed to Vards. Good performance so far.
