Chelsea 0-2 Swansea

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 This was a game dominated by measured possession
And not by a phalanx of foulers

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Unfortunately for Chelsea, it was Swansea who had
The more prolific penalty box prowlers

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 And such an uncharacteristically bad performance –
Ivanovic with two catastrophic howlers

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Branislav has been our most consistent player for years
More cultured centre-back than branded with foulers

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 And is even deadly from corners
As efficient as our own penalty box prowlers

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 But why-oh-why, what was he thinking of…
With two such atypical howlers!

Notes

Capital One Cup (the old League Cup) Semi-Final, first leg….

Branislav, what oh what were you thinking?

Chelsea had the better of the game, but two uncharacteristic howlers let the Swans in.

Any decent defender is due one a season…. But two in the same match !?!?!?!?!

Demba Ba was booked for diving – ok, it wasn’t a penalty, but it wasn’t a dive either, keeper bounced into him and knocked him off balance.

And then he had a goal disallowed for offside in the last few minutes – he wasn’t, he was level.
