Once that goal had been given there was an inevitability about it, and I even felt 1-3 was likely.

There is no shame in losing 2-1 to Chelsea, however, the manner of this defeat could well knock some of the fight out of the team, hopefully we can put in a big performance on Wednesday and not ship a load of goals.

I liked Jermaine Jenas' analysis last night, he pulled no punches and told it like it was - however, there was no defending it, so he may as well have said it.
I agree with all that you say. Hazard was always a danger for us, but Chelsea were hardly battering away at our goal before they scored - I think the boost we would have got from that goal being disallowed would have helped us see out the final minutes.
