Eric, If you think Chelsea's performance today was terrible then you're blind. Kalas was incredible in midfield and he can't get in their team. Reduced Gerrard and co to looking like Leeds on the attack. High balls, long shots, they didn't have a clue. Chelsea were on a different planet. Sent

Incredible to win 2-0 with 27% of the possession. O'leary's Leeds were similar - although we won games with 40%. Chelsea players must be machines to do all that running. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a massive performance enhancing drugs exposé in the premier league soon. -- On 27 Apr
