Examples?
I don't think he has any specific ones but everyone makes mistakes and both wanyama and lloris were a bit poor today, but in lloris case when a keeper fucks up it inevitably leads to a goal the example being their winner.

Honestly, we play like this every game (and it isn't August --- Harry!) --- we will be in the top 1-3 spots at seasons end no doubt.

I just think we need 1 more attacking option, then Lamela in October and we are all set

Fucked off, obviously. Not worried about Burnley though, we'll fuck them harder than Ron Jeremy, and with less warmth. Just get Sessegnon done, please: he'll be competing for the first team LWB slot this year, no doubt.

Thought Chelsea had a good game plan today by shutting down our right hand side. We out played them and silly mistakes cost us. I have no worries about playing at Wembley now though despite the result, and created enough chance to win. Lots of cynical fouling going on and on another day they could have had a couple more cards. Disappointed with the result but not much else.
Agreed. I think we mastered the pitch far better than last season. Seemed to close down better and make the pitch smaller when defending. Wouldn't mind of groundsmen getting involved with the pitch itself and speeding it up a bit. The Wembley pitch is just so slow which doesn't help our game.

No doubt, any other position can make a mistake and it's rarely fatal, GK does it and everyone wants to throw him under the bus....it's odd.

No Wembler jinx, no excuses, a game we should have won and we threw three points away, Lloris very poor keeping for their second goal. We had quite alot of possession but we lacked creativity. Great shame.

I wish Poch would tell the players to attempt a try at goal whenever they are in a good scoring position instead of always looking out to pass to Kane and I also think that on occasion, Kane should pass to another team mate who is in a better position rather then trying to score from an impossible angle. Nothing against Kane though but just think that we might get more goals if the players tweak the mentality a little.

Before anyone jumps, I'm well aware that we were the league's highest scorers but there's always room to improve further.

We've played a lot worse than that and won. It wasn't a vintage performance granted, but it wasn't a bad performance either, we kept battling right till the end and just didn't get the rub of the green, a draw would have been a fairer result.

We need to really take it out on Burnley next week to end all the bandwagon jumping media who will be beside themselves in making much more out of the Wembley hoodoo with the usual lazy predictable drivel that they seem to come out with at our expense.

It hurst losing to Chelsea, but I'm not about to jump off a cliff because there were encouraging signs from us, yes we could have been more clinical and a couple of silly mistakes were severely punished but on the positive we weren't satisfied with just getting back to level pegging as we were chasing the win which led to their winning goal, the Chavs will know that they have been in a game.

I so much want to end that miserable run by beating them at Stamford Bridge this season ! COYS pick yourselves dust yourselves down and come back stronger !!!

Yep it's annoying and probably we are all pissed off by it but at some point this year we will all be bigging lloris up for saving our bacon, it has to be balanced off with remembering that.
