Chelsea vs Southampton Match Thread - 25/4/17 K.O. 19:45

O’Leary, he was on a Chelsea wankfest all night long. Read my earlier comments on him!!

Another game where all the opposition’s shots on target result in goals - 4 shots on target, 4 goals - there’s got to be a common thread there surely?

apart from the excellent save that Forster made towards the end. Can’t remember who from, maybe Pedro

I didn’t watch game last night, but I’m not surprised to see Forster catching flak. Well, I am, I’m surprised to see him catching anything, but you know what I mean. That bro ain’t made enough saves this season. If he was paid per save, he’d be on less than fkn nurses. I’d offer Everton a two for one deal with cocoa martina.

Oh whoops, my mistake - I must have misread some stats somewhere. As you were everyone, nothing to see here…

We might not have a great record against the top six, but we stuffed Liverpool twice in a semi final, and that is good enough for me! Add in a mid table finish as well as a decent final and it hasnt been the worse season ever. Need to push on next season though. Losing Virgil has been a huge blow as was losing Gabbi when he was scoring for fun. Lets face it, if anyone had said we would still be competitive with Yoshi and Stephens at the back when the season started we could have had a TSW style meltdown!

I get the mid table finish being ok in a transition period. The problem is when you look at the points totals and where we are with that compared to other clubs. I mean Watford are considering their season as bad enough to change manager AGAIN. We are in around Stoke Crystal Palace and West Ham. The usual suspects and I suppose its Everton 18 points above us that is the problem. How did that happen?

Lukaku hasn’t missed a league game all season. Think that’s the main difference between us + Everton tbh. Hope they sell the cunt in the Summer.

They wont sell him somebody will buy him

Gd point. I’ll hope he does his cruciate instead

Missing Rickie and Mane TBH, and injuries to key players. Also the rotation at the beginning of the season didn’t really help!

Shambolic defending again, another four goals conceded. I will say it again, surely Cascares should be given a game. What on earth was the point of signing him, paying him 700,000 quid for three months sitting on his arse on the bench. Hasn’t even played a minute yet. Senseless.

We have had less consistency this season, but then even under Poch and Ron we went through dodgy periods. Not only did we lose Virgil at a crucial time, we also had that bizarre stuff going on with Fonte which didnt help. That and not putting our chances away. Sadly Long returned to his old form and JRod isnt the player he was. Dont forget we lost Austin too. In an ideal world we would have bought Gabbi last Summer and sorted the Fonte situation out sooner, but we are where we are and it could have been worse this year. We know that there is more to come from Boufal and I’m sure Puel will be strengthening this summer, so am optimistic about next season.

At the moment :lou_sunglasses:

Shit, I’d forgotten about Austin TBH

Our top scorer has 6 league goals.

With that in mind I find it remarkable that we are not being relegated.

Yeah but you seen how few the top scoring players have got? Think it’s more that others aren’t scoring enough for us tbh

Could not sleep in Sydney so listened to most of the commentary on the game, from 4.45am here, just about when Romeo equalised. After that it even woke me up more because we played well. But it all went to rat shit so that was two hours of potential sleep wasted. Shitey shit shitty shitbags.
