I think we paid the price for not being clinical and not closing the game in the first half when we had the opportunities. Unfortunately, we didn’t do it and then they came back into the game. We had a couple of chances to kill the game but we didn’t take them.
It’s disappointing because we did enough to win the game but we didn’t do it. We need to be more clinical in front of goal and more solid defensively, especially in the moments we need to close the game.
It’s not a lack of effort, it’s a lack of quality in the key moments. We need to improve on that and it’s something we will work on in training.
Overall, the draw leaves both teams with mixed emotions as Palace will be pleased with the late equalizer while Chelsea will be disappointed with dropping points yet again. It was a game of missed opportunities and late drama, showcasing the unpredictability of the Premier League.
Lamentablemente, al final concedimos, pero en general creo que hoy hicimos lo suficiente para ganar el partido.
En cuanto al debut de Josh Acheampong:
Todos los jugadores estuvieron bien hoy, pero si tuviera que elegir a uno, Josh fue el mejor jugador. Puede convertirse en un jugador clave para este club. Decidimos ponerlo hoy porque vimos que estaba listo. Hoy demostró lo bueno que es.
Aunque no decidamos comprar o vender jugadores, ya sabíamos que Josh era lo suficientemente bueno. Pero con las lesiones de Benoit Badiashile y Wesley Fofana, veremos si algo puede suceder.
