how can he play disasi , who is really slow, when he has james and gusto on the bench. Inexplicably dogshit lineup choices yet again. Do all the managers get brain damage when they join Chelsea?

Because Poch needs aerial dominance on the pitch to combat the likes of Brentford shitehousing and relying on a set piece to get anything. Our kryptonite in essence. 

Disasi for me is just a very average defender. It has to come to a point where Poch starts being more proactive in his selection. Nothing to lose anymore. What's the worse that can happen? Lost 0-3 instead of 0-2?

Agreed. Most managers study the opposition before the games, and Poch likes to tweak the starting lineup accordingly. It's easy to say it was the wrong choice (not my pick either), and I'm not really impressed by Disasi tbh, but maybe we'd have conceded earlier with a header... who knows; hindsight makes us always right.

Tough run coming up after Blackburn game, if he doesn’t get results & performances I think he will be out the door by the new year.

Genuinely haven’t seen anywhere near enough or anything resembling any progress- whilst I agree it is not just his fault, as players have been poor and areas we need again neglected for anyone under the age of 23 with potential - he will be the first one thrown to the Wolves by this absolute circus that is the footballing department and ownership model.

Orney says he is here until at least summer.

There's a culture issue as well. Been here even under Roman.

Can't put my finger on it but we've had mentality and attacking issues for the longest time.

Yup, seems light years from when we had Terry, Lampard, Ballack, Azpi, players that would literally run through brick walls for the club -as you say the culture has changed to one of individuals just going through the motions. Dont know what the answer is -other than sitting them all down and making them watch the 22 odd trophies/finals we previously won and a documentary on how claiming wages but not doing your job is stealing.

Now the 22 odd trophies are a memory and we have a bunch of 22 yr-old's filling up the squad.

Cucarella at RB?

Colwill at LB?

No tactical change at HT after being absolutely battered by United?

Keeping Jackson in the team after dropping stinker after stinker?

Dripping Badiashile after a great performance?

Shocking!!!

Our problems run way deeper. Know management doesn't help but the players we have are pretty dire or just don't care! Then it'll be having someone take that risk to come here..sure they will but within a year or so we'll be back where we are now. 

Know owners change and things change etc but in 2021 we won the Champions league...2 years later we're sitting 10th doing crap
