Chelsea were well on top when the sending off came and looked the more likely to win the game, we've seen it before many times and our record is dreadful which suggests we would have lost as we always do, in 45 minutes we barely looked capable of winning despite resting half the team.

For me it deflects away from the fact we've once again lost another game against Chelsea and failed to win after the midweek disaster, it's been a poor start to the season, we're not good enough. Yes Costa should have had a red card, but bearing in mind he didn't we paid the price for been stupid rather than using that anger to win the game. Players of old would have loved to play against him and would have got their own back without going down to 10 (he's know for playig like this so you have to be pretty stupid to fall for it now) and without losing at least, once again we couldn't do it.

What's clear again this season (and was before the season started) is that we'll be nowhere when the big prizes are handed out and there's only one man at fault for this, the manager, you can't hide behind excuses after what we'ce seen this season.
