Now lilian Meslier could become as good as
Big Pat.

How much did Lampard spend this summer? This is such a good performance so far. Mistakes will happen as the pace in the game is immense and Chelsea are really pressing us. Rodrigo needs to come on to give us that bit more quality though

[NorfolkWhite]

Alio with a wonderful sliding tackle breaks up a Chelsea attack and sets us on the front foot. Finds Raphinha who’s now on the left but he can’t pick out a cross and Chelsea clear.

[paddy parrott]

Hood point dezzy but Marcello will know when and how mate.

£200m I think.

[paddy parrott]

Money wint buy you everything.

[danhirons]

Good half that entertaining stuff.

Cooper has been huge at the back. Raph looks dangerous.

Llorente looked a bit suspect. Jacks been poor too, would like to see Costa on for him at half time

[Irish Ian]

We need to sort out our left back position

[NorfolkWhite]

We’ve dumped quite a few balls right on top of the two big Chelsea CHs so far, need a bit more thought in those final balls.

[HarryofOz]

Very happy with that first half performance. High quality and entertaining football played by both teams.

Coops has been great at the back.

[Overman]

We need to sort out our left back position

Our LB is an ongoing issue, hopefully we can bring in a more orthodox LB in January.

[mothbanquet]

Good game, this.

[John in Louisiana]

Kalvin Phillips is the best player on the pitch. Raphinha isn't far behind.

Alioski is struggling in a very big way.

Llorente looking pretty good so far.

[NorfolkWhite]

HT 1 - 1

Tough half that Chelsea have pushed hard all over the pitch and created several decent chances. We’ve looked best when getting in behind the big CHs, they’ve dealt easily with balls pumped straight up there. Good half and we’re well in this.

[Irish Ian]

Now for some half time Bielsa madness.

[rab_rant]

Llorente looks class... strides forward well

[Carrick Dave]

Llorente doing ok considering, and growing into the game. They have a lot of quality but they’re scared of us at the back.

Didn’t get a chance earlier, PADDY BAMFORD!!!!

[Velotrax]

Well done boys, held Chelski at arms length for most of the half, they look dangerous when they run at our def, but we've had our chances, just need a better ball into ord

[The Subhuman]

Coops and Klich outstanding, I thought Llorente got better as the game wore on, Harrison not making much happen atm. Rodrigo on and Dalas out to the right wing maybe...

[White Riot]

We need to sort out our left back position
