It's the way we make the same mistakes that is the thing...so many goals from set pieces..last 10 minute goals. Wasted shots. That's the worry. That from start been areas that need to be improved but its same old.

I think we are more than 3 class signings away from challenging.  Especially after tonight. Weaknesses and liabilities almost everywhere. 

A ST, RW, CAM, LB, and CB (maybe even GK now) looks to be required.

The blueprint is fine, the tools however aren’t.

I don’t see him being a coach next season if this continues and finish 6th/7th. Especially when better coaches are available.

You are right but then you folks will still moan about the manager when something goes wrong and ask for him to be sacked and replaced with someone else. It's a never ending cycle.

Get Pochettino in before he goes to United but of course we won't do this better let this wannabe send us even more behind the top.

I agree, Pochettino will never draw against Arsenal with an extra man.

Typical Chelsea fans never wanting a long term Project.

I think the appointment was silly being made when it was. He needed more time to get used to management and experience. But now have I wouldnt want him sacked...another season. Have a window. But we cant keep playing way we are and expect other teams to drop points. We're only where we are really as they havent taken advantage but they can..with the run we have especially

It does because the ramifications of not having CL is huge. We cannot attract good players when we are out of the competition.

We can do better than Lampard. If he proves himself to be a good coach elsewhere, like what we did with a Mourinho we will get him back. But right now, this is too big for him. Everything is falling apart.

No we can't, his the best we got because the board and owner wanted youth. We will be continue with him no matter what. 

And I call this, this will be a Benitez season. We will finish in top 4 and we will be scratching our head how the heck we did that. 

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

We'll get top 4. The next step will be to bring a few new players in before 20/21. Lampards going nowhere imo so really no need for the dog whistle Lampard out bowlocks.

Thats how football works. Managers come and go.

If this was Sarri the fans would've hunt him down with torches but little English fairy Lampard gets away with all this shit.

[Superblue 6,372]

The criticism being levelled at Lampard is way over the top given the struggles someone far more experienced like Sarri had with this squad.

Where Sarri could fall back on is when teams cottoned on to how we were playing and we started getting blitzed regularly, he made us much more defensively solid but just slow and tedious on the ball. But he had a match winner in Hazard. I'm sure the stat last season was something like without Hazard's goals we'd have been in the bottom half. 

You put Hazard back in this team and we'd easily have 6-8 more points, probably more because these tight games we're failing to win or kill off is where his importance is highlighted.

If that was aimed at me i wouldn't, check my posting history, apart from a minor wobble when we lost 4-0 and 6-0 in quick succession I was firmly supportive of Sarri.

No shit but we certainly do this sacking and hiring far too often compared to most other clubs. It's tiring and exhausting. No wonder we haven't been able to build any consistent success over the last decade. Success in one season, then crisis in the next.

I think 7th was the expected level for us. So it would not change anything. 

Bullshit. There is no fucking way 6 teams in PL have better squads. Are you telling me Arsenal and Spurs have better squads? Are you suggesting Leicester squad is better? United squad is better? We have a squad that is at last as good as those teams. The idea that this squad is expected to finish 7th or even 10th is a bullshit that needs to stop.

IF the manager does something wrong, like being out of his depth. Like Sarri had a poor CV, no PL experience, and Sarriball was flawed. That’s why I couldn’t trust him. At least with Poch he has PL experience, and has made shite players over perform. WE NEED A COACH LIKE THIS.

In theory, it may sound fine but you would be lying if you say you won't complain at all when things start to go shit and all that. It happened with Mourinho and Conte, both manages with good CV. What's to guarantee the same thing won't happen with Pochettino or any other manager?
