I think the results so far in 2022 already show we are in a relegation battle unfortunately.

You just know we're going to lose to Watford.

2017 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Middlesboro
2018 Jan. (Sako) Palace 1 - 0 Burnley
2019 May (Batshuayi, Batshuayi, OG, Van Aanholt, Townsend) Palace 5 - 3 Bournemouth
2020 Feb. (Van Aanholt) Palace 1 - 0 Newcastle

Yes, its hard to understand why PV would not play either of the two Centre forwards he has bought, i think PV has a Bias to African Players, i hate yo say it but it looks like, Wilf, Ayew, Sclupp and Kouyate are untouchable

Gutted - pissed - fed up

Why again -

Fed up of having the feeling of being pissed because of a late goal.

As with so many that could’ve been prevented.

Aggghhhh.

We are not in a relegation scrap - those saying so - it’s over the top.

We just don't know how to win as it is. I am beginning to get really worried.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Zaha and Olise teamed up really well and both had chances to score that perhaps they should have taken. Those asking why Zaha was up top should maybe look back to the Etihad where Zaha also started as the main striker and was very effective. The reality is he works a lot harder than Mateta and Bentenke, retains the ball better than all three strikers and can create something out of nothing, which he almost did again today. When you're pushed deep against the big teams you either have to hit direct balls to a big man to try and hold up (which to be frank none of our forwards have done well at this season) or you rely on quick breaks and use someone like Wilf through the middle.

Defensively we were really solid for most of the game and barely game Chelsea a sniff. The goal was poor, but Mitchell will hopefully learn from that as by and large he contained one of the most in-form players in Europe as he did against Salah.

I have few complaints today as considering the opposition we looked good enough for at least a draw and I also think this 4-2-3-1 formation could potentially get the best out of our creative players. Against Watford hopefully Wilf will replace Schlupp on the left and one of the strikers comes back in.

With regard to the officials, how Chelsea didn't get more bookings only the PL gods can tell you. Ok the ref missed a lot of fouls (especially by Rudiger) but Olise commits one foul and gets booked whereas some Chelsea players committed 4 or 5 each without barely a talking to. The linesman somehow missed the double foul on Ayew by Rudiger when it literally took place at his feet! Also, once again we saw the bigger teams getting away with the tactic of fouls every time we try and break. Ayew was stopped from breaking free at least four times with Sarr not getting a booking until really late on. Vieira was apoplectic at one point for Chelsea using this tactic.
