We play 2 of the biggest and best sides in the world and physically dominate. Then we play Leeds and Bournemouth who have a fraction of our quality and look embarrassing and shockingly poor. I give up. We were miles ahead of Villa at one point and they’ve now shot past us and left us in the dust. Unforgivable collapse once again under this manager.

Never mind scoring, we don’t even look like testing the keeper. What has happened to us in the span of a week?

Shockingly terrible. Again. These players look absolutely clueless and are collapsing in December again. A struggling Bournemouth are running us ragged and completely containing us with minimal effort at the other end.

We’re getting completely dominated in the middle of the pitch and they’re even missing players in that area. Embarrassing.

We again look totally rattled by a small team being aggressive and assertive.

He pulled his fucking shoulder out of his socket! That should be a red!

Also, 2 straight games where our players are slipping all over the place.

They’re strolling effortlessly right into that Caicedo area. Very worrying.

We’ve suddenly reverted to the a solute calamitous defense we saw early on in the season. wtf is going on?!

Must win game. Have to show that the Leeds game was a blip and that the effort in that performance was unacceptable. Fail to win and I fear we’re in for another season like last one where the battle for 4th goes down to the final day of the season.

This game like so many other earlier this season is why we won’t finish within 10 points of Arsenal and probably City as well. We are shockingly terrible at handling these sorts of teams. We repeatedly turn up as if they’re going to lay down and turn over for us. We stroll about like it’s a training session whilst the opponent treats the game like it’s for a trophy.

And again another terrible giveaway. Game over. Goodbye. Turning this pathetic shit off.

Leeds aren’t creating ANY of these dangerous moments themselves. We’re literally gifting them opportunity after opportunity with sloppy play ourselves.

I count that THREE times where one of our players passes a 5 yard simple pass straight to Leeds.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Poor team stays deep and compact and crowds the middle of the defense. So what does Chelsea do AGAIN to combat this? Play slow, side to side passes at walking pace. I can’t fucking stand this shit over and over again.

Being comfortably outplayed by a relegation area team.

Tosin and Badiashile have given away 2 schoolboy passes so far.

We’ve got 3 CB’s and 2 strikers on the pitch and can’t defend simple corners AT ALL.

It has 100% become a themse under Maresca. These players just cannot summon the same intensity or motivation against shit teams

ONCE A FUCKING GAIN we show up against a dogshit team and are fast asleep whilst they’re well up for it and aggressive.

Trev has played several time at RB so it’s almost surely him there unless we’re playing 3 at the back.

Chalobah, you mean?

Think it’s safe to say now that Badiashile is now ahead of Josh in Maresca’s eyes even though Josh has looked extremely promising every time we’ve seen him. Super strange circumstance. He was amazing in the last game he played and I don’t think he’s seen the pitch since? Anyways, I like the look of this XI. Plenty of rotation but still enough quality that we should be trying to assert ourselves.

Would be surprised if Maresca doesn’t make a load of changes. Can see him resting Neto, Fofana, Reece, and perhaps even Cucu. Delap up front, Gittens left, Estevão right, and Palmer to finally make his return.

Kind of crazy how poor City look at the back considering the players they have across the back and in net.
