Momentum we are a Juggernaut

What about Simpson as LB for now? Do not like Schlupp there but love his pace going forward.Need to sign a real one though....

Regardless of what division we're in next year a LB needs to be No1 priority (as most said last year, and year before that!)

BS was the peno that bad i looked on the highlights player on his blind side sticks his foot out as the player arrives the guy cliped it and weny down it was not like he cut in half or did a Schlupp and shoved him in the back?

Hi nev, yeah it was a shocker from Konch. Kasper made a save and the ball rebounded to him in the box. He took a touch facing goal with a Burnley player behind him. He then took another touch rather than just clearing the ball and it was cleanly nicked off him the Burnley attacker.

He then panicked and stuck out a foot bringing down the player, stonewall penalty and a very poor moment for him.

Ouch BS when you are defender or a keeper your mistakes hurt more than when you are up front and midfield.

Great saves from Kaspar but still palming the ball back into danger but before anyone says anything he got us the three points.

It's lack of awareness, Nev. Taylor was coming in behind him; Cambiasso saw it and tried to warn him, but Konchesky still dithered. I appreicate that you feel Konchesky gets too much stick and I agree with you, but this was a poor mistake that could have cost us a massive victory, and it came about not through lack of skill but lack of concentration.

For me, this was a worse and more frustrating mistake that Schlupp's jumping underneath the ball against West Ham. Luckily, neither mistake cost us. I hope you're joking about Kasper palming the ball back into danger by the way; he kept it out and pushed it away from danger, toward Leicester players. Then Konchesky messed it up. That doesn't mean that he's a terrible player or should never play again, or any of that sensationalist guff that goes around the internet. But it is fair criticism to say that it was a very poor mistake that could have cost us very dearly.

It was incredibly poor play which nearly cost us the game. To be fair, it's not surprising he looked off the pace as he hasn't been playing recently. It was a bad moment though.

I came away on Saturday thinking we need a new left back. Not because I believe Konch has been terrible all season - he hasn't - but in no universe can he fit in as a wing back, and three at the back looks like our best formation for the future.

When the keeper has just made a save and is grounded/recovering, you clear the lines! This has nothing to do with match fitness or even concentration.You just do your job, no one cares if you sky it for a throw in.If we would of lost that game 1-0 to that penalty? Simpson, if Jeffery is still injured please.

The movement of the Chelsea match originally came at a good time for us - we were playing a lot of top teams at the time and would have had Chelsea and Man City back to back. The fact that we have an extra home game when we're fighting for anything we can get makes it potentially a better time to play them.

There are some major caveats though: Chelsea are easily the best team in the league and deserve to be walking it. We're also likely to play straight into their hands as they sit back and pick us off either from a defensive mistake or on the counter. It is also arguably an unwelcome distraction before a big, winnable home game against Newcastle next Saturday.

Even so, a point is a possibility and would probably go down like a win among the home support. I just hope that Chelsea hold up their end of the bargain when our primary relegation rivals Sunderland go the Bridge on the last day of the season.

If we win the thing by Saturday...we'll probably put our FA Youth cup winning team out against Liverpool...

It wasn't that palming away that i was really complaining about look at the highlights but as i said he got us 3 points.
Shlupp gives away needless fouls in danger areas i don't know how you can say watching a ball come in positioning yourself wrong and jumping lamely can be compared to a reaction in the box under pressure but that's football. I am not justifying it but others have done worse and got away with it and don't get the same criticism. We need everyone now and we have what we have.
