Closed Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Forget about fitness level... some of the players look fat!

lack of professionalism seems to be the main reason for this terrible start.

lol. who do you mean in particularly? I always think our players look too skinny. some should bulk up a bit. for some players the gain in size and strength would undo the loss in agility. matic, fabregas, azpi in particular. also the acceleration tends to improve when you get stronger.

Just got in from the Bridge. Absolutely diabolical performance. I'm a big fan of his but Fabregas was an embarrassment, doesn't look like he cares much at all. Hazard looks completely demotivated, why I don't know. Our two most creative players are struggling immensely, completely out of form. We're struggling to create anything going forward. I felt Diego tried very hard, everyone at the Bridge commended his effort - must say that Damian Delaney is a little shit for constantly trying to rile Costa up off the ball. Costa tried hard but those behind him just weren't feeding him at all. We have no impetus going forward at all. Even Falcao's goal came out of the blue.

Only positives of the game for me were Kenedy's awesome debut and RLC's solid performance when he came in. They both definitely changed our game and gave us more drive. Jose took the wrong men off for them though. It should've been Fabregas and that RB of ours.

How bad was Ivanovic? I can't comprehend it. He gets absolutely walked over on that right hand flank and is an awful captain. There's no leadership from him at all, he seems way too passive and is severely out of form.

Mourinho needs to drop him, seriously. Starting to lose a lot of faith in him. We're playing turgid football. Since the start of the year we've been going on a downhill slope and Jose hasn't rectified it at all. We look absolutely clueless going forward.

I'm hoping to see a three of Pedro - Hazard - Kenedy in the next game btw, Willian was so frustrating as a number 10 today. So disappointed. Maybe with Matic and RLC in behind. That'd be nice. Cesc needs to be dropped as well.

International break came at a crucial time IMO. Could be bad or good for us. Hopefully Jose brings it together because this is unacceptable.

Hazard and Ivanovic could def lose a few of pounds

Can't Mou even realizes that we are VERY POOR on the right back that most goals against came from there! Even commentators know how bad Ivanovic was, yet he's fucking immortal to Jose! FFS

Jose may be thinking of allowing these players who are out of form an opportunity to play to get them match fit and game hardened again .obviously it has not worked so i would expect he will make changes. Sometimes you need to put some faith into your team and players.If you play too many newcomers such as Kenedy and RLC its hard for them to get into a rythm. Thats my thoughts anyway

[Oscar 441]

Fairplay to CP. Pardew is doing a brilliant job there and playing very good football.

[cosmicway 1,333]

We are too slow.

In the days of glory you just knew when CFC was in possession one wrong step from the defenders of the other team and the ball was in the net.

Now it's slow motion.

[Special Juan 28,182]

The Everton game in a few weeks will just as tough. Barkley is playing really well now and will give our midfielders are real problem.

Since when did David Moyes quantum leap in to Mourinho ? .

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Buy Pogba, send Cesc for a vacation for few weeks together with Ivanovic after the international break. In the meantime play Pogba-Oscar-Matic in midfield, Pedro and Hazard on the wings, Costa in front and Baba-Azpi as our fullbacks. Cahill and Zouma seems like a decent CB pairing to be honest and they would look much more stable without Ivanovic messing up on the right.

Good thing we have pretty much the easiest CL group possible so we get to experiment with players like Kenedy, Baba, RLC and Traore. And remember that Barcelona was in some sort of crisis only 5 months before they won the treble last year....

Thank god Seamus Coleman is a right back! Because if he was going up against Ivanovic, it would be too much abuse for me to handle!

What is wrong with our lads? There must be something going on behind the scenes. Ive seen happier guys going to the death chamber. Their heads are down, theyre walking on the pitch (ffs Bane never broke a sweat. He was walking over to strikers who had the ball.) Theres no enthusiasm or professionalism. My 2 favorite players and our most creative Cescy and Eden blimey they got me riled. I dont mind admitting I was shouting at those 2 as much as I was the wanker Palace lot.

I own up to not being a very good loser and even worse to some south London C team trying to extract the urine. I must try learn to keep my temper under control specially if we are going to continue like this.

Certainly get to experience our full range of emotions as a Chelsea supporter tho eh! Like a fuckin roller coaster.

he didn't say ivanovic or any other name...

He quite clearly meant Ivan !!!

[Special Juan 28,182]

We don't put enough pressure on teams from the start. Once again yesterday Palace had a corner straight away and looked sharp and lively. Our start has been a problem for a while now, it's about time we started games with more zest and presence.
