Our strikers today 

My God ...

Perch so smooth.

Anyway, Chelsea have completely stopped playing. They're just seeing if we can do anything. If we do, fully expect them to smash us on the break.

So true ...

Where are our strikers when the ball clears to the edge of the box?! Come on!

Positives ...

Defence generally looks really good.

Cannot believe Steven Taylor has been out for so long.

Looking really good, and I'm generally not a huge fan of his. He's started fantastically well though.

We have no hold up play upfront. Really makes things so difficult.

Yes, we know they have Hazard, but he doesn't have to do everything Mr. Waddle. Calm down.

Cisse and Ba ... wow. Just wow. Really poor.

Hazard versus Ryan Taylor ...

Simpson has looked better defensively, but just incapable of doing anything in forward positions.

Ba's been frustrating in possession. Too slow to release it.

Cabaye's having a laugh ...

Ben Arfa is just going towards the ball at every opportunity, even when it's ont he other side of the pitch, which is giving us more options, and is helping a lot.

honestly the 4-4-2 bashing on here is so OTT, we really havn't been that bad

It's not about being bad.

We haven't looked awful or anything, but the strikers just aren't in the game, and Cabaye and Anita are seemingly being forced to play longer passes from deep a lot of the time.

Unfortunately, neither of the strikers is really adept at receiving and maintaining possession of these types of balls too.

Just feel we'd be a lot more threatening going forward if setup differently. Much like we were second half of the last match. They even highlighted this in the studio at the start.

Say what ever you want, not basing it on just this game, but Cissé and Ba aren't tidy/technical enough in general play to play together!! Great strikers YES.

Neither is that great at dropping into midfield and linking play, so it really makes life difficult for our midfield.

Also, they're not doing a good job of pressing the opposition together, which certainly isn't helping.

Okay, so we struggle against a poorer Tottenham team who played 3 in the middle, and felt we had to change it at half time right?

Not sure how we then come in against a better team also playing 3 in the middle and start off in the same way we struggled last week.

Frustrating. I just feel we could easily be so much better if we just setup a bit differently. Makes it much tougher to swallow.

All the players who can create something are all getting the ball too deep.

Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Jonas not far enough forward.

Chelsea really aren't anything special. Frustrating if we don't get anything here.

4-3-3 disclaimer!

Another advantage is having Ben Arfa pushed further forward, and getting the ball in far more dangerous areas as a front three.

He is so outstanding at the moment that even getting it so much deeper he is a huge threat.

I know it's annoying, but our strikers just don't seem present in this formation. It's just the truth.

Ba actually plays better on the whole when he's out left, than he does with a strike partner it seems.

Waddle ... like nails on a chalkboard.

Anita doing some great things. Feel bad for him having to have conceded that penalty.

Torres should get a ban for that f***ing dive, but of course he won't. "Fair Play" "Respect" yeah right.

My word ...

Bit silly and unfortunate for Anita, but he's looked really good. Not too mad about it. We've looked good. Just one of those things.

What is wrong with this commentator? Does he support Chelsea or something?

Way too overexcited about Hazard. Jesus ...
