I said this the day Rosenior was sacked, to not hire an interim manager, someone with some credentials or an ex player to galvanise the players with European football still to qualify and the FA cup to play for was criminal. If I can see that, how the f*ck can the ownership and 5 sporting directors not see that. This is beyond incompetence, starting to feel like an orchestrated intentional devious ploy to destroy and end Chelsea now.

This ownership can’t stop making dreadful decisions and they never learn. Poor decision after poor decision. No football knowledge or business acumen. There was still the FA Cup to play for and qualifying for European football. Put an ex Chelsea player in charge to galvanise and inspire the players or someone with some credentials as an interim at least. Even Abramovich would bring in Hiddink as someone to count on. Instead we’ve got this miserable git in Mcfarlane who doesnt even have any qualifications or licences in charge of games that have a huge impact on this and next season!

It’s hard to see why any established, self respecting top manager would want to take the Chelsea job. No clear long term structure, no authority to implement your ideas, a poorly assembled inexperienced squad in need of upheaval, too much interference from those up top when it comes to transfers, substitutions, tactics, team talks, half time and full time dressing room visits etc. Having to operate in these conditions and environment and the risk of permanently damaging your reputation and future employment prospects is just not worth it. As a Chelsea fan I would advise all prospective managers to stay away under the current ownership. I also see breaches in financial fair play and regulation coming up due to reckless spending, extortionate prices paid for young players with no resale value, no European football and failure to secure sponsorship. Here’s an idea, Eghbali, Boehly and the SP’s should be in the dugout when Chelsea are fighting relegation, because that is our current trajectory, and should be in the dugout when Chelsea do get relegated.

When youve got a manager telling the players to respect the ball as part of his pre match, half team and post match team talks, you know youre f**ked. His core philosophy is respecting the ball, not trying to win a football match. You know what hes telling the players after losing today…its perfectly ok to lose as long as you remember to respect the ball. Then youve got the ownership probably listening to this and thinking that theyve discovered some genius football revolutionary, thick c**ts.

They’ll probably extend his contract for another 10 years

Imagine spending £1.5 billion to produce this pile of sh*t and still not be able to qualify for the champions league. If you dont know how to run a football club and dont know anything about football, and have proven repeatedly your incompetence, poor decision making and naivety, f**k off already.

Thats what happens when youre more interested in giving half time interviews than winning the game.

I don’t understand all the hate against BlueCo, this was a 10 year project, not a 5 year one. We should make a fair assessment in 5 years time.

As long as Rosenior is taking notes we’re in with a chance.

I have complete trust in the Hull City manager.

This was always going to be a tough game, but I’m seeing positive patterns of play since Rosenior took over. Remember Rosenior said we’re 3rd in the league since he took over, if we lose today we’ll still be in the top 5.

This is the new Chelsea, get used to it, accept it. We are a development/ feeder club now looking to make profits for the owners. The culture is set from the top. It’s not about winning leagues now or having an experienced squad with depth who is capable of competing. But giving time to youngsters, improving them, adding value and selling. The owners are happy with this model and need a puppet manager who will go along with this. They have their man in Maresca.

Why the f**k has he still got 7 defenders on the pitch!!!!!!

If we lose this, Maresca needs to be sacked

What do you expect, giving debuts to 20 and 19 year olds who Ive never heard of in a prem game. Starting a crocked defender who hasn’t played in how many years. What happened to starting your strongest 11, then making changed once the points are secured?

Our average age was 24 today and got even younger when the subs came on. No team has won the PL with a team or squad this young. You need experience for the nouse and guile sometimes to get a winner or hold on to a lead which we didnt have today. We might challenge for top 6 again if the last 100 years of football history is something to go by. Clearly these new so called sports scientists haven’t figured it out yet and want an even younger team.

Currently at the level of a Carlton Cole, has the potential to become a Yakubu, Ameobi, Carroll level player, maybe even Heskey or Crouch. He would add to the squad but wouldnt turn us into title contenders. Need to go for Isak or similar if we are serious.

Agreed, Gusto looked class when he joined us and genuine competition for James, bombing up and down the right, staying wide, defensively sound and a threat going forward. But when hes picking the ball up in central mid he ends up losing it a lot of the time because hes not a central midfielder! Maresca has forced him to play like this and his confidence is shot.

The average age of the Betis team is 30, they have 6 players over 30, Chelsea’s is 24. Its like men vs boys, experience counts.

This ones on Maresca…playing an inverted right back and bringing in Badiashille into a final when he hasnt played in months and we all know hes sh!t.

Got to start Jackson if we want any chance of winning this.

Tell me a team, apart from Barcelona 2011, that has successfully played without an out and out striker, either a target man or can run in behind? Even when we had Hazard up front and Willian and Pedro on the wings we looked toothless in attack, it didnt work! As others have mentioned countless times, you are utterly clueless and know absolutely nothing about football.

So many problems all over the pitch Reece James looking completely lost at left back and also eliminating any threat he has with his right foot Gusto looking completely lost at centre mid Gusto picking up the ball in centre mid, whilst Fernandez, Caicedo and Dewsbury Hall push up Dewsbury Hall continuing to struggle at this level and looking lost Nkunku looking completely lost playing up front, he cant hold the ball and doesnt have the pace to get in behind Sanchez playing long balls to Nkunku expecting him to hold it up No pace Sancho doesnt have the pace or flair to beat a defender so he checks back in breaking down attacks every time Incompetent manager who cant see tactics arent working and not changing anything

What we’re seeing now is Maresca’s team. The success seen in the first half of the season was off the back of what Poch had built and momentum from last year. That is gone now.
