If the first half had gone on for another 15 minutes we'd have been out of sight.
0.1 xg in the 2nd half, that Chelsea defence was there for the taking, went too defensive and invited Chelsea to control the game.. We looked vulnerable tbf so I can understand why Emery would have wanted to go more defensive, but it didn't work out as we didn't look any more solid defensively either.
Hope I'm wrong but the second half confirmed the view of some of my Spanish friends who consider Emery to be too cautious. Match was there for the taking at half time and we managed to lose it.
