As I've seen it, I'd say we did quite well.
But, I kept shouting silently during the match (in the first half), shoot, shoot already. We were not afraid to attack but why were we so afraid to shoot and kept on passing? That is a mystery, IMO. There were no clearcut chances but when their defense is packed, I think we should've shot often from a bit further already. I still feel (as I always did) we need somebody to shoot from distance (somebody like Lampard, Scholes or even Ray Parlour) and maybe a striker who would put in scrappy goals.
Despite the 2 goals conceeded, I still feel we did ok in defence. The 2 youngsters also did well in midfield.
Chelsea didn't have many chances although they took theirs well. I wasn't impressed with them in the first half apart from thier goal and the opening 8 minutes. But they looked more solid in defense in the second half and also looked dangerous everytime they counter attacked.
To sum it up, I just hope that we could do better in 2 weeks time at the Bridge. We did ok but we need to improve a lot more if we were to beat them then.
