Ipswich 2-0 Chelsea

[Laylabelle 9,392]

We miss that spark! We have players who sometimes spark but when they're off their form their off off. No one is consistant atm. That's why we're far from title challenges and need to get that back

The last 3 games is enough evidence to prove that our league position prior to this was probably false and backs what Maresca was saying in response to competing for the title. Lots of work to do yet. I hope Maresca gives them a bollocking, not enough urgency at 1-0 down in the second half never mind at 2-0 down. 

Disasi, Tosin & Colwill should be embarrassed with how they did up against Liam Delap in particular too, aye hes a decent player but honestly its almost as if they made him look like Didier at his peak 😂

Not very often I will say this either but he should of took Palmer off at HT too. For whatever reason he struggled a lot. He has played a lot of games this year. I get why he didn’t because he can deliver some quality but he looked leggy out there.

I don’t think it is that deep. We have failed vs deep buses and low midfield blocks time and time again these past 7 years. This season went better at the start bc a lot of teams (for whatever dumb reason) tried to match us blow for blow and got a bloody nose. Everton, Fulham and Ipswich all packed the box with defenders, forced us wide and blocked everything we threw at them. With luck, a little help from the refs and that poor Defense of ours this is a blueprint that gives every team in the league a more than decent fighting chance against us. Most will copy this from now on, so Maresca better switches things up

The most annoying thing about that game is that Ipswich did basically NOTHING as a team and won 2-0. Just Delap running around like a maniac by himself and bullying our CB’s single-handedly. They didn’t pass it around and press us like Fulham did, they didn’t smack in a hundred crosses and threaten from corners, they didn’t destroy us on the counter. They seriously just had 1 single striker running and hoping for a mistake from our defense and waiting to pounce. And we obliged.

Don’t even have a look at the monitor?

I can't believe I am saying this but aside from the defence, we need attacking reinforcement badly... 

If Palmer is not having a good game, all the rest looks like headless chickens.

[Superblue 6,372]

Didn't think the Everton result was too bad but the performances against Fulham and Ipswich have been really, really poor.

I think what was most concerning, besides Disasi lasting as long as he did tonight, was how we created absolutely nothing after going 2 down. The goals have dried up and unfortunately we just aren't good enough defensively.

This is where the manager earns his living...

[Fulham Broadway 16,936]

Feel aggrieved for our fans going all that way for sub par performances

[Pizy 18,439]

Every single one of our attackers has gone completely off the boil simultaneously. Madueke started the season on fire and has been woeful for the most part since his supposed “coming out party” against Wolves with that hat trick. Sancho was really solid his first handful of matches but has now retreated into his shell. Neto tries hard at least but hasn’t been effective. Even Palmer has only really shown small flashes of quality during this shit run.

 

[Laylabelle 9,392]

Just annoying all this oooo chance to go 2nd oh no we'll stay in 4th with the others not far behind.

Performances have been worrying. We always have this annoying blip of players being crap together and it's when other teams around and behind get their act together and start winning.

Absolutely. You never forget the days when you travel far to give your support and the players just amble around half heartedly.

I still have nightmares about an away day to Wigan in 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8269672.stm featuring prime Drogba, Lampard and co - and we lost 3-1 to a shitty Wigan team featuring Titus fucking Bramble. Never went to Wigan again after that - fuck Wigan.

That's what annoys when the players are just mehhh yet the fans make the effort. And have gone all that way and paid all that money and yet they just don't look like they care that much and they come away with a stupid wage

This happened in our highest ever scoring season too. That season though, we would bounce back quickly from disappointing results, as title winning sides should.

We're not in a title race, but we so need to win our next game. 

I don't think this young team and inexperienced manager has the acumen to rescue itself if the winless streak continues.

That team had national captains or highly experienced individuals littered through the squad, what a few years that was. Think that's why I enjoy the podcast era so much now with Obi etc because you start to get the stories and what each person was like whereas we as fans only know their media trained interview/on pitch persona.

The old days...lifetime ago! 'Unbeaten since March' how times have changed

Nah not in a title race but in a top 4 race which we'll make harder for ourselves if keep dropping points. Newcastle only 3 behind and yet City are somehow only 4 behind! Arsenal still to play but can 4 clear and Forest also above.

maresca rotated the line up too much and the worst thing was playing disasi....

we played ok in the first half but the team felt the second goal too much
