Nottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea

[Stats 7,140]

Absolutely pathetic. Second half is one of the most dreadful performances I have ever seen in my entirety of watching Chelsea. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Every single one of those travelling fans deserve to be refunded for the journey and the tickets. Awful. Diminishes our chances of finishing top 4 realistically now. Awful fixtures to come this month. Ziyech was a bright spark coming on and actually delivered the best ball of the game but Aubameyang spurned it. Pulisic did well in spells but wasn't helped by Sterling who was poor besides the goal. Havertz was awful all game too. Azpi proved why we need an emergency replacement for RB. His legs are finished. I would have preferred Chalobah playing there than him. Yep, pretty much have to place our hopes on the UCL to have any chance of getting back in it next season.

With the way the Potter has been backed, the way the owners acted so swiftly in identifying him, and the long term contract they’ve given him I just cannot see them sacking him no matter what this season. It would be incredibly embarrassing for them and hugely costly. 

We’re stuck.

Hazard levels of dependency on Reece at the moment

When you say pathetic second half it seems you did n't watch the first half which was just as pathetic.
Azpi looks too old now. All he could do was collect simple balls. Havertz had nobody to give him a decent pass.

Who in their right mind would sack a top manager like Tuchel with a proven track record, to hire a midtable manager from Brighton. Bhoely and co fucked up big time. The players are shit too, they aren’t doing themselves any favours. Too many shit at the club that needs to fuck off for good.

It will be a shame to get stockpile talent like Enzo and other youth prospects only to have them play crap football like this.

No improvement with Potter. In fact we've regressed.
 

Can blame players for off days yes or not being world class but to be outfought, outdone tactically and look like a team near the bottom of the table in terms of how we defend and how we attack the blame ultimately lies with him.

Said it before sacking Tuchel made this season deadrubber. But hey maybe by 2030 Boehly’s big masterplan will have worked….

English managers are good only for Southgate football, without Southgate's luxury to collect the best players from all over the country.
I 'd like to see Emery Unai.

He's not coming after today.

[MoroccanBlue 5,375]

Out fought, out played, and out managed by the worst team in the league. 

What more needs to be said?

[Pizy 18,858]

Managers like Poch and Luis Enrique would probably walk to London to take this job, too. But would Boehly do it? Don’t think so.

Think we have to double down on Ziyech and try to bring him to form and happiness. He’s our only authentically creative player, he’s been so shit for us before the WC but this could be a turning point with him. Watching the rest of them it’s like watching fucking robots sometimes. Just doing the same movements over and over and trying to do everything via dribbling but without the pace to super dangerous none of them really bring anything special like Hazard did. Ziyech is the only one that can do anything like Mata did for us or Fabregas did for us with creativity.

Gallagher should go out on loan and we should clear out J5, KK and Auba already. Sell Pulisic while his value is high after the WC and before he gets injured. Build this season, try to get players in now and at the very BEGINNING of summer and have a good preseason with an improved group before we go into next year. Also, play the kids regularly for the rest of the year so we have something to enjoy at least, no point giving minutes to 25+ year olds who bring bad results. If we are going to lose / draw regularly let’s do it with a developing team not a team on the decline.

Ziyech is also part of the problem, another one that needs to leave, along with other dregs.
