He certainly seemed to pull out of intercepting the cross for the goal, presumably for fear of popping it in his own net. However I wish he had done something rather than nothing!
If he'd gone for it, he would likely either cleared it, or possibly hit it against Joe Hart, which still might have ended in a goal, but at least not a certainty. But he had some good moments in the game as well as the nervous ones, & although after the event everyone in the media is making out we played vs the blind paperboy's 11, we did actually play v Hazard, Willian, Oscar & Remy & it was the only chance they got in the match.

But at the same time, isn't it better to not make an own goal and hope that Remy misses?

Crap decision.
Nah.
He is trying to score, wheras you are not. So you would hope to have a better chance of missing than he would.
Tbh, it shouldn't have even been an issue imo though. Both our central defenders failed to read it & were caught napping; neither were running back anything like full pace. They thought they had time to get in there and clear it, probably expecting Hazard to pull the ball down & try to beat Sagna.

I felt it was shit from our captain but he wasn't as miserable as he'd been the last two times out.
Denayer sounds like the real deal from what people say. Wonder if he will get a shout next season? If not he'll be off.
Cheers

What I don't agree with is that he was shit, which is what seems to be implied by some.
He was certainly better than his last two games and against pretty good opposition.
I'll bow to the analysis of those that were at the game, but watching it on SKY it looked like the back 4 were pretty comfortable in the second half, against top of the league.
The whole team were riddled with mistakes, not just Vinny and yet Chelsea were quite obviously, very cautious about attacking. It shows what they think we are capable of.
I'm hoping this game will boost us mentally.
