Once Chelsea go behind they are f***ed. They have neither the goals nor the gumption for a comeback.
Chelsea have picked up only six points from behind all season. That’s worse than every other Premier League club. But Newcastle have developed the knack.All or more usually nothing when Chelsea find themselves behind this season. The West Ham win at Stamford Bridge was particularly satisfying for the lateness of the comeback and absurd luck they enjoyed in the closing moments, while Conor Gallagher’s late winner at Crystal Palace was positively dripping in narrative.
A pair of 3-2 comeback wins at Forest and Leeds are the headlines here, while Fulham came within a whisker of being the first team this season to take a point off Manchester United after falling behind in the final Premier League game before the World Cup. Grabbing a point against Wolves at Craven Cottage was a nice little bonus because the Cottagers were mainly crap that evening.The wins came early in the season against Everton and more memorably and recently against City.
Bonus points in the ‘making life unnecessarily hard for themselves just to feel alive’ stakes for salvaging the first seven points from two goals down via a 3-3 draw at Newcastle, and 4-2 home wins over Crystal Palace and Spurs in which they not only trailed 2-0 but did so at half-time. Life then got a whole lot less interesting until that 4-1 win over Liverpool in which the Reds were daft enough to get all nostalgic and take the lead.
from 3-1 down against Bournemouth. Further points scrambled at home to West Ham and at Brighton show this side has some heart. They showed it again to come from behind against Nottingham Forest.The wondrously improbable second-half fightback at Nottingham Forest kickstarted the Gary O’Neil revolution, while Leicester were also beaten in a game Bournemouth trailed at half-time.
and then went on to actually win. Was that a corner turned? Well they recovered from conceding the opener to score four unanswered goals against Spurs also appeared to bode well. But they then lost loads of bloody games to such an extent they had to sack the manager then carried on losing, so probably not. Now facing another potential corner turned after coming from behind v Wolves and getting a point at Leeds and v Everton.
