If he sits on the bench every game, why was he not there last night?

I agree with you Chelle. For me to watch a home game it cost me at least £150, thats not counting food, drink and if I travel on the same day. So if there are such poor performances, surely the fans HAVE a right to say how they feel, and not be shouted down by others. I have supported Chelsea for 40 years now, so i am seasoned Chelsea supporter and followed them throught the good days and the bad days. If people on here continue to put down people on here who views so not correspond with theirs, then this forum will have less members over time.

Have not even bothered to vote for MOTM, since there needs to be one in the first place, so i could vote....

Lost 2-1, Drogs, Maka and Malouda were not very good, Brought on Anelka in the 87th min in place of Joey on the right wing. Play Essien as a RB. We were very poor in the 2nd half, our goal was a own goal. What else.................

The owners of Sporting Icons have been found guilty of selling forged signed items of signed football shirts. I would be very careful in buying signed shirts.

When Grant needed to make substitutions, he chose the wrong players to bring off, Drogs should have been replace by Anelka at half time. Was puzzled by Essien playing RB, why not Beletti, with Essien in the middle instead of Maka. And as for Malouda.........should not even be playing. We have a situation that if we are trophyless, Grant Goes or if we win either EPL or CL Grant stays. Thats the dilema?

My head aint in the sand, i am awake and can se what is happening, at the end of the day Grant is the man who decides the team, formation, and he did not do anything with drogs or maka when he needed to.

Agree with you Essien 100%. Personally feel that we should be using Anelka and not Drogs, also Essien at RB? what was that about? We have a away goal, but the way we played that might not be enough, also if we carry on like that, then we will be having a trophyless season. Grant is NOT the right man for the job!!!!!

No one expected an easy evening at Turkey you just didn't believe it. I think Drogba wasted all our chances to score. Avram is not to blame IMO. They just were incredibly lucky scoring those goals as were we. I think we will go through despite the loss. That lucky away goal will be the lucky charm. Have to agree to disagree. Grant is to blame, he should have taken off Drogs, Maka, and playing Essien as a right back. When will you all accept that the manager has to take responsibility for the performance, team selection, substitutions and tactics.

While players performed badly, Grant kept them on, a decent manager would have taken them off, and Grant is not that man

OK guys, do you really still believe that Grant is the man. Yet ONCE again he has failed miserably, how many more chances do you want to give him. He really has TO GO

Wonders who was the one person who voted for Grant....mmmmmm...still thinking.....will come to me.......promise..........

Ok Grant fans, how many more tactical screw ups must he do now!!!!! 3-1 up and plays 5 at the back, we should have carried on as we were, and kill the fame off, but then they get back to 3-3, joey scores the 4th, and then he makes another tactical blunder by taking off joey, and then its 4-4. Is he trying s best to completely screw up this season.I have tried to give him a chance but as i have said before i saw his screw ups at portsmouth when i lived there, and hand on heart felt that he was not the right man for the job and he CLEARLY HAS SHOWN IT!!!!!!! Grant has TO GO!!!!!!!!

Does it really matter, as long as we progress

I really find it hard to believe that some people are still giving Grant the benefit of the doubt. This man was not even respected when he coached in Israel, by his own fans. We have stumbled through this season so far, and I firmly feel that he has not got the credentials to win Major trophies. This has already been proved twice this season, both times he has been naive in his selection and tactics.

I agree with Sindre on this, we might beat Derby and Sunderland, but I honestly believe that Grant has not got the ability to handle Manure and Ars*nal Howe many more times do you want to give Grant, me he has had one too many.

I have seen what Grant attempted to do to Portsmouth, and when he came to Chelsea, i prayed he would not be the manager, but unfortunately he is, and hopefully not much longer. Before you decide to Ban me, for reference i have supported Chelsea since 1968, been there good times and bad times, but he is clearly not up to the job.

Qaz with respect the MAnager is to blame, he picks the squad and he yet again ballsed it up. He is not up to the job

Once again i must say Grant has to go, i hav never had the belief in him from day 1. The recent results have proved that, today is the final straw. I hope now those of you on here who are pro grant WILL WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE This guy has no clue, we played cluelessly. Grant do us all a big favour and leave TONIGHT for the sake of Chelsea Football Club

Next Game after Barnsley is Derby at home on Wednesday. My team would be Carlo, Belletti, Alex, Ricky, Bridge, Mikel, SWP, Ballack, Malouda, Sheva, Anelka. Subs Hilario, JT, Joey, Lamps, Drogs

What is Chelsea playing at. We have talented players in the youth/reserves, who are the future of the club and we should be investing in them. But no we will spend huge amounts of money bringing in players instead. If we want to build for the future, we have to bring our younger players through, not sell them on to other clubs.

I totally agree, no matter you are in Liverpool . Yes and if we lose, the office will be hell for me.

If we lose tonight, will those on here still be backing Grant? Lose tonight, he should go himself straight away

ethical

Am i being thick here, I thought this was topic of Essien for Real Madrid, but now it seems to have gone onto comparing our managers. Is there anay point in posting a title on a post if it deviates from the original poster.
