We'll be lucky to do anything this season the way things have started going. We just can't finish, and if we dont do anything about it in the summer, we aren't gonna be any closer to Chelsea come the end of next season. 2nd is still a possibility, but we've gotta play Arsenal twice, and they'll be bang up for it against us.
I can't help but feel we should've gone with Crouch and Morientes. Granted, Crouch was abysmal, but he was causing havoc just by being there, if we'd had Nando on the pitch we might've knocked in a few of those set pieces.
As it stands, Chelsea deserved to win for the second half performance. We were always gonna get caught eventually, playing the offside, and Crespos goal was an absolute peach.
As for the Red Card.... it wont get taken away. He's raised his hands and Robben has made a complete twat of himself, but thats the way it goes in football....how many times have we seen it?
On the plus side, it gets Reina out of goal. Its amazing anyone could think he was half decent. He can't catch crosses, he drops shots from close range, he doesn't organise the defence from set-pieces and he saves all his shots with his legs. Dudek might not be great, but he's far better than Reina.
