I do have very high expectations, and ignoring the pressure being placed on us in the last 15-20 mins while you have a World class CB sat on the bench is asking to throw yet another game. Lampard was cack throughout, Terry should have been on and Luiz pushed into his spot. ...........but no, Hazard off for Moses.
To me that is plainly embarassing

Everyone has their opinion on todays match,
For me taking off hazard was wrong as victor moses needs to start the match to have any impact,
Look at the 2counters with moses and he messed up both, really messes it up,
How can Steve Clarke s subs change the game, yet rafa s don't,
Even though we won, there is still questions regarding his ability to.affect a game with his subs,

Thought Lampard played ok, tbh. Spread the play well, not his fault we didn't make more of it.
Hazard's influence was tailing off, it was 50/50 whether it should have been him or Oscar taken off.
We played well but need to take our chances more.

today was still better than we've played in a long while, if we knew how to finish it could have been a repeat of the Villa game

seriously, compare that performance to the 5heit we produced against City and it's an absolute world apart. for the first 70 minutes anyway we were hungry for the win, chased the ball, showed some fluid attacking play and if we'd known how to finish we'd have put the game to bed before half time
tbh i was expecting Bromwich to emerge with at least a point today. hopefully the boys will work on finishing in training and we can build on that for the Bucharets game
