Almost all metrics? We had more shots we scored more goals, created more chances and their goalkeeper made more saves.
Is all metrics now “possession”?
More shots, more chances, their keeper making more saves is basically the same one stat said three different ways.
Which I agree is where we were better(3 more shots, one more big chance) because Chelsea are absolutely awful at that final pass/shot.
But they yes had more possession, more tackles, won more aerial duels, more corners. I also thought by the eye test they looked stronger and faster than us. They also could have been ahead if they weren't so tragically bad up top. This the worst Chelsea team in 20 years having a horror season.
You don't normally win games 4-1 when the opposition is better in those departments.
This isn't a complaint though. I'm just using this one game as an example of what a strange season this has been for us and therefore maybe an explanation of why there are very different opinions floating around.
Before anybody chucks me into some sort of imaginary anti ETH clan I think he's done really well. It's just been a weird season IMO.
