Is the season f*cked?

[Styles 9,790]

The season was f*cked the minute the transfer window closed. We have a small squad that is low in quality in several areas, especially central-midfield and forward positions.

The club, having already made a mess of the squad, decided that wasn't enough and sacked the manager and replaced him with the last person the fans wanted to see.

The season is f*cked and the club is in disarray.

It's still just baffling to me that people who are PAID to assemble a team, recognize problem areas, and bring in players in positions of need could not see this striker situation coming. All of us here were saying this before the season started.

We were asking what would happen if Torres got injured or sucked. Just incredible that a club who aspires to be amongst the best in the world and compete for titles can enter a season with 1 striker.

Of course this season is fucked because the fans are unhappy. Because we are unhappy with recent events, we can't really give 100% blame to the club... its partyl us. its a horrible cycle. The fans are important, imagine being on that pitch hearing boos and having no support, as a player, that does not motivate you - you might say these are professionals, and its their job, but no matter who or what you are, if you are getting a negative reception and negative reinforcement... nobody performs well.

We need to support the club. yes we arent happy with some of the choices the owner has made (and i agree) but we should back what has been done becuase theres nothign else we can do.. if you dont agree with whats gone on, like most (including me) then just suck it up, and support the team. If we get behind the team, our confidence will increase. we will not get results if we arent there to cheer them.

OR we can carry on crying, have a shit season, and hope Roman is a little more rational with his decisions... but we all know he'll just do what he want, he's not changed since day one.

So i say lets do our part and quit moaning. whats done is done, lets move on and win some fucking games.

As recited in Blue Day:

"Our Blood is blue and we will leave u never"

Stay loyal with the team guyz. The more we boo Benitez the worst it will get for us. Abrahmovic might have fucked up but we as the fans need to make the right decisions. I missed last night's game. A draw at Home to Fulham. Terrible

when a manager loses the dressing room it is critical ....when a club loses its fans it is terminal....

the club is in danger of doing just that

I heard supporters were being searched at the gates for any anti-Benitez stuff. Absolute joke.

I don't blame you. This is a sorry chapter in the clubs history. A manager nobody wants and an owner acting like a dictator.

Winning cures all.

Rafa needs to string together 3 or 4 straight wins starting this weekend at West Ham. While it may have been extremely annoying to draw at home yesterday, the fact that we actually moved up in the table is a positive. We have several teams breathing down our necks now so we need to go on a bit of a streak.

If we can make it to January and still be within a handful of points of the Mancs we can be in prime position to challenge depending on who we buy.

It doesn't. Our problems are a lot deeper than just winning a few football matches.

I wish I didn't care.

Unfortunately last night was one of the worst nights ever for supporting Chelsea. Watching a shit match and then looking at the players on the pitch and realising there was no-one on the pitch who was proper Chelsea, apart from Cech. And then looking across to the dugout and seeing Benitez in charge.

Just want this season over - now I know how Arsenal fans must feel.

[nachikethas 1,154]

The season is not fucked. We MUST get top 4, champions league looks unlikely but shakhtar at home is hard and if willian has a beast game then you never know...

yah but we still need a win..

[Beirut_Blues 306]

Nobody wants Rafa here and Torres is rotten. Roberto could have sold Torres in January and got in a couple of quality strikers. But no, we are stuck with these plums for atleast the rest of the season. Has Roman gone to far? Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!

Why are we assuming we won't have any additions in the winter transfer window?

We're in a shitt situation right now but it could change if we get a world class striker in the winter, somebody like Falcao can turn our season around.

We don't win CL and maks top4. Rafa isn't good coach for Chelsea. He destory offensive futboll, and make denfensive Chelsea..

[DH1988 1,346]

Our problems started long before Benitez, the realism is that robbie HAD to go before we carried on playing this suicidal football, he was always on borrowed time.

It isn't like the board sat and said 'lol lets put Benitez in charge and piss 90% of the fans off' he was the only safe, tactically astute manager that could come in with proven pedigree.

Fortunately the transfer window is in 9 games and if we can stay in 3rd till then ill be very happy considering my expectations for this season was 4th

[robsblubot 3,595]

Yes... a season is always fucked when there is any meaningful renewal in the squad.
