    Looking back at last nights game, I’m extremely disappointed with a 1-0 loss to Chelsea, the team 5th in the Premier League with a team worth £200 million. We could have and should have won.

    For me that shows how far we’ve come.

    The issue remains that we are just not good enough in the final third WITH the ball.

    Was a good performance from us if we had taken our chances could have been a different outcome but we gave alot better account of ourself then we did in the league Cup at beginning of the season.

    We need a new metric - "a team with a value of over 10 times Dike's release clause"

    Yet still should definitely have scored one, maybe two as well as having one chance cleared off the line, against a top 6 Premier League defence.

    I think £200m is an up to date valuation after the match , so it’s an overestimate!!!

    Yes we created chances but didn't score. It is so frustrating watching all the hard work they do chasing, closing down and winning the ball just to either fluff a chance or lose the ball by poor control or a bad pass and it happens too often. They then have to start chasing and closing down again and use more energy. A bit of composure and quality and we would tear many a team a new arsehole.

    Certainly. I think Ismael is far more astute, tactically, than Struber was.

    Agree, but Chelsea were without there starman from the league cup ritzmaier. Joking aside I was gutted the lads didn't get anything from last night but they can be very proud.

    And to rub salt into the wound, we would've had Sheffield United at home in the next round, which is definitely winnable at the moment.

    We could've been in the Semis again. :mad:
