Looking at the way we've moved the ball in this last 5 minutes, it seems like this is the game we were expecting from the start... but 70 minutes too late. No denying how poor we've been, and however frustrating it is to admit, this has been Chelsea's best performance for 2 seasons.
 
Since our win against 10 men Brentford, weve played 9 games and beaten Burnley, Middlesbrough and Sheff Utd, that's very poor form, and I agree with some on here, I don't think Emery knows how to change things when his plan fails, in that respect he's no different from Dean Smith.
