So the run is over. Last night’s match was a lesson in clinical football, you have to take your hat off to Chelsea they were awesome. The strength they have through their side is frightening! I genuinely believe they will win this league.

Last night, they passed the ball with clinical accuracy, their interplay was wonderful to watch to be honest – and they outplayed us all over the field. I thought Cole was brilliant and Lampard and Deco played really well too.

We did look tired, but I think that was more to do with the fact we were chasing blue shirts all over the pitch. Going a goal down was a killer to be honest, although we did have a decent 1st 10 minutes. Jerome had a decent effort that was deflected over and we had a shout for a penalty turned down. If we had scored, it might have made it interesting. Mind you, you can’t help but think that it would have only made Chelsea VERY cross!

To be honest, it could have been a lot worse, we could have had a Sunderland experience. We did battle hard in the 2nd half, and I thought it was credit to the side that we prevented Chelsea from scoring more that 1 goal.

I thought Dann did well, and Michel looked promising when he came on. He looks like he will be a really good player. Hart pulled off a couple of very good saves too.

So how should we respond? Well I think we just need to take it on the chin, say we were beaten by a superior side, and look to bounce back on Saturday against Spurs. Spurs are a side that have great firepower, however can be vulnerable at the back and I think we can get something from the game.
