My view
We were at the champions league semi finalists
We were at a team that if they win would sit top of the league
We were at a team with form for waiting for teams to attack then picking them off.
We blocked them, frustrated them with their own gameplan with the idea of bringing pace on in final 15mins to sneak a 1-0. It nearly worked. Snoddy had a chance, redders had a chance, olsson had a tough chance and jonno had his header. FOUR chance created in final 15 mins against Chelsea away.
You can't go to Stamford bridge and go all out from the off. You will get dicked.
Neil Adams got it spot on IMHO. If one, just one of the four chances went in those slating him on here would be creaming themselves at what a master tactician he is, beating Jose in his own back yard.
