Ipswich Town vs Chelsea (PL) Monday 30th Dec 24 19:45 GMT

When asked if he thought it was a penalty, Delap admitted he wasn't sure if Jorgensen had made contact with him or not.

"I don't know what clipped me but something did," he added. "I just tried to get there before him [Filip Jorgensen] and he was coming out fast so I knew he'd touch me if I didn't get it round him.

"We've had three or four opportunities where we've not had the penalty we probably deserved so nice to get that one and put it in the back of the net. “
 

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, NOT A PENALTY, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVENT HAD ANY BEFORE THEY DESERVED IT….

 
Caicedo looked knackered out there, really need Lavia back asap. Whole team was poor thought Palmer was especially quiet seems to get marked out of the game more in the number 10 role rather than drifting from the right.

Lavia cannot be  depended upon. He is a crock, like Fofana and James.

Recall Lesely from saints and Santos from Strasbourg. Santos stays in the team as long as he is fit. We need his energy.

We need a reliable midfielder who can stay fit and is willing to put the work in for the team. That Connor Gallagher lad at Atletico would fit the bill - maybe if we’d signed him at the start of the season…

Nah, our amazing SD did not rate him.

What happened to all the flowers those two morons were getting just cause Duran is looking good under a competent manager?

Lewis Hall looking good too. Should recall him as well 

 
How to lose a football game for Dummies by Chelsea:

1. Ponce about at the back

2. Wait for opposition to get organized with 10 men behind the ball

3. Slowly move the ball forward and look around for ways to attack - roll eyes towards sky...

Wonder why our attackers cannot score... get frustrated and give up.

WTF he brought on Jackson for Felix I'll never know - he was the one bright light, if there was one for us, on the pitch.

Our attacking players, and we've got some good ones, are just being handicapped by the dross we've got at the back ... and as someone else said if ever a game showed we should have kept Connor Gallagher - this was it.

And what is the Manager doing? What's going on at half time - can't he see we're not drawing them in or playing the ball out quick enough to stretch the play a bit?

My word that Nkunku miss...

How much clearer does he need to make it he does not want to be here anymore? 

He is too good a finisher to miss that.

I'm yet to see what the fuss is over Nkunku. He has scored most of his goals in Conference League and domestic cups against lower league opposition. Probably didn't help that he was crocked for most of his first season with us, and fell down the pecking order. At this point I will be surprised if we don't move him on.

 
If Sanchez had gone for that challange on the pen, regardless of how soft it is, or made that Disasi pass, he would be getting 4 times the abuse Disasi has been getting.

He does not want to be here, that much is clear, and might well be Felix, Veiga and Noni feel that way too after having run in with Big Enz.

 
Was anyone at the game on here? I have heard the was fighting between Chelsea fans in the away end.

 
Really, as much as this result has pi$$Ed us off, it is results like this we love to see in the PL.

 
Probably dont deserve the last couple of poor results, but sometime you win and sometime you lose. When we were on the good run, couple of results were  fortunate, fair to say these things event themselves out by the end of the season. We are very much on track to finish in the top 4, which was the objective, title talk was premature and optimistic to say the very least.

Jorgensen dived in and gave him the opportunity to go down with slight contact.

Is on Jorgensen for making that dum challange.

Yes we do. Fulham deserved to beat us, as did Ipswich. Arguably Everton did as well.

 
The goal this season for me was 70pts and top 4(top 5 probably)

Sucks to lose against an Ipswich side whose had a terrible run of form. This was always the part of the season that tests the mettle of players and 1pts out of 9 is terrible
