A lot of people are saying they saw it differently but honestly I felt this way about what I saw. I am surprised it’s quite this contrasting but otherwise I maintain that Chelsea were not as good as people are giving them credit for, but I suppose viewer bias and subjectivity is hard to truly measure.
There was a stat popped up that possession was 80-20 in our favour after they scored which lines up with this. However it still felt like Chelsea were dangerous with the minimal possession they had in our final third
That’s because they were almost all on the counter while ours were against at least 8 men behind the ball. Odd man breaks are gonna lead to more dangerous actions rather than trying to cut through a low to mid block.

Yeah they had a few moments, and and derby, especially with Chelsea away is never going to be a walk in the park. I mean it shouldn’t be at least.
This threat chart by Opta sort of explains a bit better how I felt or saw
