Good open game. Great to watch. Shame about the penalties.

Smallbone should walk tall today. Played really well in his brief appearance and almost won it for us. Young player and will learn from this experience.

Forster and Lyanco looked great. Lyanco should still be given some time to get used to the EPL but this was a great step forward. Forster must be pressing for a place in the first team now.

KWP looked great, there must be a way to get both him and Tino in the same side.

Diallo looked to have his hands full. If the yellow wasn't harsh, you wonder why similar Chelsea fouls weren't also penalised the same way. Still he managed to play most of the game on a yellow so perhaps Romeu has given him some tips.

You just get the sense that Adams and Armstrong are both trying too hard. Contrast their over eagerness with the composure of Broja. If they can just get a few goals then they can hopefully settle down a bit. It's really the missing piece that our team needs. Fingers crossed.

A great battling team performance and the Saints fans completely outsang Chelsea.

Unlucky. Great performance.
Lyanco looks the real deal now. I'd like to see him get his PL debut vs Watford.
Stuart Armstrong looks fit again, which is very important :)

I acknowledge Ralphs team selection, and Jan Valery past the test as did Tella. Walcott should NOT have been put on the pitch, though. I don' t know why Tella didn't get the full 90 minutes.
Good to see Adams score. I hope it has given him confidence and more goals will come soon.
Forster looked very good. McCarthy should be worried for his place.
