I have no idea why we dropped the 532. Dijksteel is more than capable of playing a wing back and has proved to be a very mobile defender. Having Howson drop into that back line was disastrous. I can accept losing but last night was an embarrassment. The insistency to continue to play from the back was not working and I understand that is how we play at Championship level but we cannot play that against a very athletic and pacey Chelsea attack. We always seemed to be a man short in the centre of midfield which is where we lost the ball the majority of the time and this was evident with VDB's reaction following the 6th goal. It was a nice touch of Poch to speak with Glover at the end, as he must have been feeling very low.
What a run though - it gave everyone some form of hope and it put us all in a fantastic mood, for a fortnight! Plus Rogers goal stuck another £5m on his price tag!
