Well, exactly, yeah.
What, two on goal over 90 minutes?
And the second half particularly, Dave, I mentioned they'd got to keep their energy levels up at half-time and they certainly did that.
I mean, what a contest.
It didn't quite deliver in terms of efforts on goal either in the second half.
But what was happening in the middle of the pitch?
I mean, not for the faint-hearted, no room for passengers there.
Some crashing challenges, old-school stuff, wasn't it?
And nobody was making a big deal of it.
The ref did well, I thought, to let play flow.
But, yeah, I'm with Chris.
I mean, huge admiration for not just Sean Dyche, but his players who have got to put the effort in to carry out those orders, you know.
You're not going to have many easy days.
I mean, Robbie Brady, he'll be looking forward to his new career, but he's not going to be off the coast there because it's 100% every day of the week as well as match days.
I think it rattled Burnley, didn't it?
And it's bound to the way Chelsea started, but to their credit, they reorganised, settled themselves down, got back into the shape that they planned to start with and made it really difficult.
It was a great contest.
Did you see that change then, tactically, from Burnley at that point?
Yeah, I think it was just a matter of getting back to what they would have spoken about beforehand.
And as Chris said, those wide lads tucking in and just making it difficult, they just caught them on the hop, really, at the start, Chelsea, because they came out of the block so quickly and with such quality.
