During the match it was all about “plucky underdogs” Chelsea and ‘how hard they fought’; with the farce, at the end of added time it is all about them again and the mealy mouthed backtracking by the keeper and Sarri.
That Chelsea, with all their resources and the talent at their disposal, a team pushing for the top four of the league, should sit back with 10 men behind the ball for three quarters of the first 90 minutes, that they should display such an utterly gutless lack of attacking intent and effectively get consistently praised by the commentator and Alan Smith.........dreadful bias.
They may have been eviscerated two weeks ago but to retreat totally into a shell and not attempt to win the game, to effectively play like a side from two leagues below surely should the subject of greater scrutiny and criticism. Maybe the papers will display more balance as long as they too don’t get distracted by the keeper fiasco.
