[chrismada9 1,948]

I'm usually the one telling people to take it easy on here, but I won't lie... Tonight freaking fired me up. lol...

I would be spewing out all sorts just like you, but I'm staying quiet about it. Still fuming, but I'll analyse something at least tonight!

Dropping hazard/iva would be a huge statement

And Fabregas. Kenedy, Baba and RLC instead.

Cannot believe I am saying this, but as good as Fabregas and Costa were through February last year, I am not sure Lampard and Torres/Eto'o was not equal or better than Fabregas and Costa the past 15 EPL matches. Not saying I want those guys back, just illustrating how bad it has been. I am not sure I have seen a player drop as much as Costa after his first 20 games to the next 20.

We would not have won the title last year without Cesc and Diego, but man, what a drop off since the sizzling start.

Up with the Chels!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Kenedy was a big breath of fresh air when he came on, Loftus-Cheek I thought did not so well, of course he is not to be blamed for anything in the match, but constantly getting caught watching football and not helping the team defending won't do him any good.

The truth is only very few players looked like they really wanted it and was up for it, terrible performance and not good by Mourinho either. Not good at all. Some worse than others of course, Ivan, Matic, Willian and Fabregas being the worst. Terrible.

Losing now is better than losing in November/December, or April/May. I hope this gives the team the time to correct all the mistakes.

Ruben is like a girl you think is really great until you're finally with her

at this rate we will be lose november/december too

Now I am thinking the UCL group teams we got might pose a greater threat.

Are you trying to project something?

[Vytis33 1,144]

You can't take Eden off fellas...Jesus. But put Cesc (deservedly) in a tracksuit and that should resonate with the lads. Kenedy and RLC came out today with something to prove which was a good sign.

I refuse to be dramatic. Of course I'm angry, we have lost and we have not started the season well, but I think there are some positive things in our game against Crystal Palace. Even losing.

Kenedy (this guy wants to conquer the world), Falcao (that's the kind of goals that he did with Atletico de Madrid), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (definitely this guy has something special) Zouma (our centre-back already consolidated), Pedro and Courtois .

Crytal Palace was perfect, but we have had good ball movement, with fast one-touch convinations, with a style of play similar to the beginning of last season with Pedro (no goal today, but good performance) - Willian - Hazard (he has to take a step forward and be more courageous) but a game with fast convinations between our players but without give good passes (assists) to Diego. That was the problem.

We played acceptably with 0-0, but later with 0 -1 has been a chaotic game because of our excessive anxiety.

We need another CM and one N. 10. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has improved the team with his performance. If we do not sign another CM (Please Roman, sign Koke or Pogba) Oscar and RLC should have more prominence / opportunities.

I do not want to say that today is a day to be happy. But I think it's better to be positive than criticize everything. Bad result, sad loss, but we have improved our offensive approach (not in our defensive approach) ther than others matches.

Negative things.

1. Our defense. We need a change. Maybe Iva out to change our mentality because we always repeat the same starting eleven and that makes us predictable and boring. A change with Azpi (right) and Baba (left) could renew our minds.

2. Our ways to score. Today we had good ball movement, with fast convinations, but without Messi that style of play is worthless if you do not give passes to your forward. We have a problem in attack because we are stuck.

3. Jose. Mourinho is perfect for us, but he's obsessed with the same starting eleven for a year. We have to change to be more unpredictable as a team. I trust Jose, but he needs to change / improve some things in the team.

4. We need a CM more than anything.

Positive things.

1. Better movement of the ball with fast convinations.

2. Today we have not been a static team because Pedro - Willian - Hazard - Fabregas have been rotating their positions constantly. That is the right way, but giving more assists to Diego.

3. Youth. Zouma (consolidate), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (this guy deserve more opportunities) and Kenedy was brilliant.

4. Falcao has made a goal again. The kind of goals that he did with Atletico. We need someone like him ...

Come on! We are the Premier League champions for a reason. We started badly, but our team deserves more confidence on our part. Also Jose...

Whatever happens ...

CHELSEA!
