Yet another shocking defeat. We are not fools, there is something badly wrong at our Club. Are these defeats, deliberate acts on the part of the players, who are voting with their feet? Sorry but Todd Boehly, the Board and Clearlake, this is on you. I have NEVER seen a top level, top quality football club fall from grace (implode) so quickly and so totally. I pray that Chelsea FC Management and employees do read this forum and talk openly about the comments of life long fans, like me, who have spent thousands of £ pounds, watching, following and travelling round the Globe for this Club.  I will go as far as to say, we will not take another single point this season. Something toxic has taken over this Squad and we are probably going to avoid relegation, only because of the points Tuchel and to be fair Potter gained early on as well as there being so many other very poor sides in the Premier League this season.

Very much agree with this.  I think it's a combination of factors, but it definitely feels like a lot of players riding on the previous laurels of success of the club and feeling that being associated with them exempts them from the struggle, desire and fight to give what other teams are clearly willing to do, coupled with a tactical insecurity that makes actions that should be second nature become confused and laborious.  Having a manager that won't accept this lack of real 110% effort or is not afraid to drop players is likely also something the squad is missing.
Fundamentally, I would only say that 6/7 of today's starting XI should even be in the squad next year.  That feels like a relegation level indication of squad quality presently. 

Shame to see it happen but it was difficult to see any improvement on the horizon. Luis Enrique seems the best option in terms of a proven coach that can also deal with some of the egos that appear to be in the squad
