I was surprised with Chelsea's performance today i was expecting something better from them against Newcastle but it was a disappointment as usual, watching how they play against Manchester City everybody's spirit was high just watching the way they play, now this Chelsea fans left in disgust and are disappointed. A. Gordon was really active in this game and gave Newcastle a well played game he gave one assist one goal. Of it you talking about the man down Newcastle has already scored 3 goals already so the one down was around 73 minutes. And maybe they under estimated Newcastle they have forgotten you don't joke with Newcastle and Newcastle always make it to top 5 so them winning is not surprising after all. That is football strategy might fail and might be used against you by the opponent.
The first half of the game, Chelsea didn’t play so bad and they tried to equalize on the first goal Newcastle had in the first half keeping the hopes of their supporters alive.
It all came crashing down in the second half as Newcastle came alive, dominating the game and stepping up the pressure and got 3 more goals. I too had looked back on the game they had with Manchester City and hoped to see Chelsea play some good football.
Concerning the red card gotten by Chelsea, it probably wouldn’t have made any difference if James didn’t pick up the red card and had to go off the pitch. The pressure was mounting and Chelsea couldn’t hold them back.
