Thought the same. At the start we fly out the blocks, second half is so pedestrian, complete opposite of how we were under lampard, Potter, where the first half was always slow.

Tonight, with 10 minutes to go it was as if we were 3 up, sideways passing, no urgency, no leaders - that falls squarely at the owners, manager, club set up.

WTF is Maresca telling them, it firmly lies at his feet, he’s not an EPL manager, I fucking detest the man.

He is like Sarri, it is all about ball possession and recycling no matter what the situation.

Someone who isn't a novice would help. I personally don't see there being that many issues unless I'm blind to it. 

If we signed a top quality CB, CF, and kept Petrovic in the summer, we might have actually been a competitive side.

Problem is we've had managers with experience and still been poor. Just end up going round and round in circles. Not saying he's the answer but while teams have a chance to build on their squad with the managers vision we're off hiring again.

We don't have leadership on the pitch anymore which is a huge issue. No one to take charge or have that presence. Or players that seem to care all that or least look like they care.

Yep and probably won't this summer...just messy. 

Brighton deserved that win esp as we didn't even score really they did for us..

It was a gutless, embarrassing, inept performance, no passion, no fight, i’m fed up with the whole setup.

As bad as Jackson is our forward play is nothing without him, palmer as dropped off so much and are wingers offer absolutely nothing throw in the fact our fullbacks don’t over lap any more we are simply left with wide ways passes back into the middle.

The issue is this board. They want full control, and that was exactly why Tuchel was sacked, and since then, they've appointed "Yes" men. At this point, Enzo is no different despite initial impressions. That goes for your second point, too. Our team is built to develop talent, not challenge (feeder club mentality). 

On a side note about Brighton's win, do people forget we destroyed the same team at the Bridge last time we played? Brighton didn't do anything special; we just offered nothing after scoring and made mistakes that gave them the win. If this was a PL game, their winner is probably chalked off for Lamptey's handball.

Brighton had not won at the Amex in three months.

Too much negativity around here. We are top4 and favorites to win European trophy. That was goal for this season, no? Although Maresca said this is goal for next season and we are ahead of schedule. Who cares about Fa Cup? Liverpool lost against last Championship team.

If you can’t see there are big problems with the way this club is being run, then honesty, i cannot for the life of me understand how.

The season isn't over. As @DDA said, there are serious issues with how the club are being run, so the negativity going around is understandable. Saturday's result just added more fuel to the fire.

Exactly as I predicted last week, mentally weak average footballers going through the motions

We will also get beat by them on Friday too

Plus Palmer couldn’t look anymore disinterested if he tried…oh hold on maybe he was trying.

After his chat with Guardiola I think he want’s back there.

If Chelsea doesn't make the CL spots this season., it's very likely going to happen.

No talented player will stick around for ages like Kane did for Spurs.

 

[bigbluewillie 1,891]

And Matt Le tissier, he had no ambition at all.

MH tried hard enough.

Was about to say the same thing. 

Imagine all the 17 year old Brazilians and over valued mid table wingers we'll buy with that.
