If we don't invest in january, we may not get CL football next season.    Feel like it's Liverpool, Arsenal, City then us or Newcastle for the 4th spot. 

 

maybe 5h spot is enough

lets see

After an impressive run and questionable results from our rivals we found ourselves in a “title race”. This was the lowest points tally for a team in second place in 15 years on Christmas day. We need to keep calm and continue improving. Noni not being in the squad was a bit too harsh, but let’s see what happens from here on. The injuries are mounting and that makes some of our players complacent as they know they will start. It is what it is and Fulham deserved it as they played a great game. 
Guiu may not be ready for senior football, but I don’t understand how he doesn’t get a chance. He has a lions heart and you can’t coach that.

We must stop the rot against Ipswich. COYB!

One loss with a draw and the knifes are out 🙂 ... We are on track to achieve the target for this season which is Top 4. Coming together as a team and building that team chemistry is what should be on top along with top 4. I feel we're on track. 

Enzo subs strategy is something I don't understand specially when we have decently sized squad. Over reliance on Palmer and Jackson should be addressed. Individual errors need to be reduce. Some takeaway which needs to be worked on. 

Disappointing result but on to the next game!

I wouldn't say the knives are out, more like a head check for the manager and players. Enzo has exceeded expectations and this has highlighted a fault, much like it has with the players in recent games.

If it continues into the next game then I'm sure people will be sharpening their butter knives as the lessons aren't being recognised.

A lot of this falls on Maresca's head, talked about their low block yet left Felix sat on his arse and never made changes like the Marco Silva who reacted to game short falls and changed it and got his subs spot on. Leicester fans moaned of exactly this under Maresca, he needs to start being more proactive

Palmer scored his goal and decided his shift was done, Jackson did a lot of ratting about without actually doing anything. You could see this was coming from the moment Wilson scorred, so much so the lads I was sat with I said get £100 now on Fulham to win, predicable and was a very similar game pattern to Brentford, we got lucky getting a second goal against them, we needed it badly against Fulham but we couldn't be arsed

Dreams come true. 

Yes not the first time I dream with a Chelsea game and it happens to reality. 

Crazy.

That's how Silva usually sets up though, keeps the impact subs ready to go for that 15-20 minute burst at the end of the game against tired legs. 

Feel like most of the PL sides would have learnt from that game where Wilson or whoever it was scored twice in injury time to get the points. 

Hopefully Maresca sorts it out as our January fixtures will be massive in terms of whether we keep pace for top 4 or not.
