If I were Chelsea, I would’ve simply played more pragmatically and defensively the second they went down to 10 men to avoid losing 4-1.
Braindead take. We were 3-1 down before the red and had nothing to lose. You guys were 1-1 and could have come out the game with at least a point considering we are dogshit against low blocks and susceptible to counters but hey, anything to defend your boss I guess.
