the moment Abramovich left the club it all went downhill

Only won 8 games so far..lost 6..drew 7...

Hypothetically though, nobody would be digging him out. Or any of the others for playing poorly. You don’t see teams get this many stupid red & yellows throughout a season. Maresca passed the buck regarding discipline earlier in the season (& last as well or was it just this one?) & Poch had also mentioned it with certain players too. Players clearly not that arsed about it either. The 2/3 bookings after that red were bullshit and all avoidable. I get certain players may pick up cards for fouls like Cucureulla or Caicedo due to the nature of their game but for guys to get bookings for dissent every other week is poor.

Cucurella doesn't need digging out, and I'd normally say it probably cost us the game, in the cold light of day it probably wouldn't have changed a thing because even with 11 we are playing shite. I want to see Neto out the side for the foreseeable, he was fucking tragic last night and it's time to start Estevao

Aye thats a huge part but their manager & players have got a lot of experience too. We could’ve played at the Bridge & the result would’ve been the same, they’d have just taken the sting out of first 10-15 minutes, silenced the crowd then kicked on and done the exact same. Not that it would’ve been difficult for them, they looked far more comfortable than we did. I mean everyone was raving about Tosin, Fernandez & Reece’s influence with the group after the Maresca scenario & the players getting up for the game v Man City but fuck sake, you shouldn’t need to play a big team to get up for a game of football. That is the ultimate small club mentality. Get up for every game. Regardless of opposition. We should know what to expect, we are struggling, obviously to have half a chance for any team, you need to do the basics very well. Don’t have to play well every week but get up for it, bit of know how to get through tough moments and then show some quality. A struggle to do this is clear as day signs that we have poor standards, lack of experience & leadership throughout this squad. Do you really think the likes of Reece, Enzo, Tosin are going in & digging out Cole Palmer for instance after his performance last night? Or someone is digging out Enzo Fernandez? Or Cucurella? Are they fuck. They are all soft & too nice. Oh it’ll be fine we’ll get a chance next week. New head coach comes in he’ll solve all the issues. If we had 3 or 4 top, senior players in that group it would be a different proposition. Regardless of quality.

Games like this we simply do not control and get dragged into a complete slog fest We are forever getting dominated but the simple reason why is, teams like Fulham are a team full absolute grafters, no top class players just simply players who don't give a fuck who they are playing against, they role up their sleeves and get on with it. You watch the performances of Palmer last night and I select him randomly but he's expecting something to happen instead of trying to make it happen. Body language absolutely pathetic, giving nowhere near enough on the pitch and it's effectively like playing with ten men The project puppet has a huge task on his hands to not just get this lot winning again but getting fucking players working hard

We absolutely did not have title aspirations what gives you that idea? BlueCo’s PR machine saying they want to win the CL after winning the Conference League (surprised if they even knew it was the third tier of European competition)? A glorified pre-season tournament? 😂 There is no evidence anywhere that we had geared up for that either in the transfer market too. But yes we will be lucky to finish top 4. The league position at the beginning of December was a false position performance wise. This group is nowhere near ready to be regulars in the CL, mentally, technically & physically miles off it. No guts or gumption. Not one of these guys has anything about them to drag us up, the only one who could do something (Palmer) signed a new 9 year deal and has been near abysmal ever since but there are so many average players signed for big money that need to be replaced. Big job on Rosenoirs hands, which he is probably ill equipped for.

I hope the fans keep singing and displaying banners against these absolute melts

He will have to get used to it. There is definitely minimal/no tolerance for BlueCo now, how it has taken this long is beyond me as this has been a long time coming & the direction/strategy has been obvious to see from the first full year. I think if Rosenoir does well, it papers over the cracks but if he doesn’t do well, it will just get more & more uncomfortable for these charlatan owners. As it should.

The project puppet has got a real task on his hands sorting this shite out

Actually, that is the problem. Our squad isn't MILES better. Caicedo, James, Cucurella, Enzo (when he feels like it), Palmer and Estevao are the only ones with quality. Half the squad would struggle to make the starting XI of other sides fighting for UCL... Just because we drew with Arsenal and City and beat Liverpool in injury time doesn't mean we are "GOOD", that just means the players can get up for strong opposition but what about the rubbish results like losing to Sunderland, Leeds, Fulham, Brighton and many others this season.

Won't matter anyway, our form under Maresca was pretty poor and we were already sliding out of the UCL places. Having a decent midfield won't matter against most PL sides as our attack is horrific when Palmer isn't in form. Neto, Garnacho, Delap and Pedro aren't exactly regular goalscorers.

Liam Rosenior might have felt a little uncomfortable in his seat next to Behdad Eghbali, as Chelsea’s visiting supporters turned on the club’s co-controlling owner. Chelsea’s new head coach could not have failed to hear the chants of “fuck off Eghbali, you’re not wanted here” as his new squad made it just one win in nine. Eghbali was targeted personally by the Chelsea fans, along with his private equity firm Clearlake Capital, who are co-owners of the club. There were also “BlueCo Out” banners displayed and chants of ''We want our Chelsea back''

There would have to be a legal definition of real owners, which there isn't at the moment The 'fit and proper persons' definition set by the FA seems to mean 'any dodgy billionaire thats been listening to Dark Side of the Moon ''think I'll buy me a football team''

Well the question is why are we spending so much on hoarding players in a certain age bracket? All low risk signings that can potentially improve or fetch a decent fee in a few years. Why are there so few or no quality signings being made the 26+ age bracket? Tosin and Disasi dont qualify in this category. They are both mediocre. And Tosin came on a free. Maybe the justification provided is the fact that they've been burned by the likes of Sterling & Koulibaly, but boy, have they certainly tried to course correct in the most extreme direction.

Tosin will see more appearances. We will continue rotating the squad under Liam as well. Maybe then fans will come to realize that it wasn't Maresca calling all the shots.

MILES??? I don’t think it is. Our squad is seriously average at best. Soo many of our players lack the fundamentals of football. I’m yet to see ANY of them play an intelligent line splitting pass to an attacker making a clever run. Neither parts to that scenario exist. The general ability of our attack is not that good at all. It’s extremely worrying.

Can the CPO revoke their rights to our club name if they don’t sell our club to real owners?

just end this season already

Being in this position is already shameful, but it's even more so after the money spent. It's unacceptable, and last season's top 4 seems like an overarchived result.

The fact that we’re behind Brentford and that absolutely diabolically shit Man United side should see a load of people employed at this club sacked. What an unforgivable state we’re in. As abysmal as these players have looked this last month+ the level of talent we have in this squad is still MILES better than all the teams currently around us. Year 4 of BlueCo and we look even further off the pace than we did when they arrived. They’ve done something that should literally be impossible with this level of investment.

8th, exactly where we should be, none of this 4/5th shite that's false We are in for one massive dog fight now, lets hope the project puppet can sort it Goodnight

yes completely out of European spots atm

R.I.P Chelsea FC This is CFC LDN now.
