Gordons Cumming This is no big surprise considering our defensive attitude throughout this game.

Can we comeback?

I doubt it.


We went 70mins without a shot against Chelsea then ended up having 2 on target at the end of the game.....it only takes one

Wow, they scored from a corner...

Fucking boring team. Sure they have been in the prem for years, but imagine watching this each week. And this is coming from a Reading fan...

Not sure why Brian switched so early on when our tactics seemed to be to shut up shop and hang on. Hopefully he will once again show he knows better than me!

Switching tactics hasn't made a difference. It was yet another corner. It was always going to happen!

This is not a game for Le Fondre. Will not get a sniff.

would hold some substance if we'd have strung more than two passes together today

one of the worst performances of the season

We got out of jail with 4-4-2 last week but not today. We should have stuck with 4-5-1.

Perhaps BM feels the pressure to give Alfie game time? Can't see us getting anything from this.

It's not over til it's over but in 70 minutes we haven't beaten the first man..nevermind getting begovic's knees dirty. i won't stop believing but it's been a tough watch so far.

as mentioned by others the formation hasn't really changed a thing.... you give constant corners to an aerial team you will concede at some point
