Very disappointing performance and result. Chelsea aren't going to lose or draw to many games this season so when they do it is so important to win but we couldn't last night.
I thought O'Shea was utterly appalling. He ran up and down the right flank without ever receiving the ball. At one point he overlapped Nani and then left Petrov unmarked 50m down field who received the ball. Disappointing to see him starting again when we have Rafael on the bench and Wes Brown not even in the squad. I thought Macheda made a difference when he came on and thought Owen's general play was very good. Evans looked completely out of his depth. Let Knight in with some sloppy marking off the corner and made three or four glaring errors and at least one nearly led to a goal. Tbh I'd rather have seen Smalling out there.
So all in all disappointing and although I hold SAF in the highest regard, I was left questioning some selections again. Expected to see Obertan on the bench as well.
