It's quite funny because how many times in the summer and the build up to Frank's appointment did people swear patience if we were playing academy players and looking to the future? Even if we were midtable some promised yet the fact they're losing their shit while 4th shows that that was utter bullshit. The minute it's time to put the vow in practice it's back to type.

I wonder if the same people who think seeing context in defeat is an excuse or the signs we're acting like a small club also bashed us for being too shortsighted for appointing Jose to go for that quick title no matter what the long term expense.

It is honestly pathetic. When Mount started of the season, people were raving ahead of him. A dip in form and people are stating he is not good enough. Tomori will have a few bad games and suddenly he is not good enough. James makes couple defensive errors and he is now not good enough... seriously. Like Jason said, defeats bring the worst out of people. People were suggesting Pulisic should go out on loan before he picked up form...

We have a good team. It worries me that the focus on bringing in players in January has become Sancho when what we really need is to sure up our defence. We can do both, but the real emphasis should be defence. I honestly do not know why Christiansen is in and Tomori is out?

We are doing better in the table than anyone could have predicted at the start. No time to panic.

Don't worry it's a repetitive cycle. Soon enough we'll get 2-3 good results and performances and they will change their minds, praises will be sung. Then we'll inevitably hit another slump and everybody is shit.. again. This is how it goes.

Curious to know who these members are that say they aren’t good enough? Make it out like 70% of the forum shares those views

as for purely not good enough right now

meaning they should simply not be on the pitch

it isn't that long a list

AC (he is so so so weak, soft as bread, such a massive disappointment ever since that Barca CL game he is a shell, which is just bizarre)

Alonso (unless the only LB option is Azpi as Azpi is somehow even worse at LB than Alonso is overall, which shows how poor a LB Azpi is now that he has declined as a player)

Barkley (maybe, maybe, as he blows so hot and cold, but lately 90% cold, he is also mentally fucked in his pea brain, but he is not at the level where I go bonkers if I see him coming on)

Pedro (we still MIGHT have a goal or two in him, so it is not a complete disaster if he comes in and IS actually on his game, but overall he is so DONE)

Bats and Giroud  (we have no other options and this is killing us as we have no choice but to play them if no Tammy) Giroud had his big chance to back up his big mouth and proceeded to play the worst game of his entire Chels career, he was 2019-Azpi-at-LB-level bad, actually worse. Bats is just plain old shit, he can do nothing but score the occasional lucky goal (he does fuckall else, other than social media)

 

all those DO need to be sold this summer BTW (or January if possible and we have replacements, which is doubtful for most)

 

Zouma absolutely needs to be sold in the summer when we can upgrade on him (and NO not Ake, Ake is the upgrade on AC, we need an actual WC CB to replace Zouma) but in no way should we not play Zouma now, he is still somewhat useful, even if he is far from what we actually need, so we just have to roll with him for now

 

[Special Juan 27,429]

Zouma isn't good enough and should be sold, Azpilicueta is past his best and Christensen needs to be sold.

Not rocket science.
