Ivanovic, Fabregas and Willian were garbage.

Hazard was anonymous yet again.

PL race is not our concern. Somehow qualifying for CL place is.

Very, very disappointing. Haven't felt this low after a game in quite a while. The title seems a long, long way off now.

At least Kenedy and RLC looked good.

Why was kenedy good because he was hungry, our guys are acting like c**ts we should pay pogba 300 to teach hazard and the rest of the princes a lesson 

 Next two games are enormous now and far from easy coming on the back of an international break. Starting late in pre season has killed our momentum before it started. Fourth place trophy up for grabs?

Ivan will not get dropped unless he's injured.

Well I don't want to go into the 'sack Jose, fire the board, sell Hazard' type stuff but if Mourinho doesn't drop Ivanovic then I would seriously question his actions. He's a better Manager than me and sees how the players are in training but during the most important part, the 90 minutes on the pitch, we all see what he does and if he continues to pick Ivanovic based on his competitive displays then he's completely lost me. You can't pick your favourites if they're the weak link and opposition players are clearly targeting them. He needs to be dropped, simple.

I dunno what to say. It looks like we are in trouble

It's not even about looking like Barcelona on the pitch. We had games like this last season where we were utter sh*te but we always found a way to grind out a result. It's like we can't even do that anymore. Previously we could guarantee if we don't win the game then we won't lose it.

This is like the Torres saga all over again, except theres 11 of him.

- RLC did more than Fabregas in 10 minutes in the central. He didn't lose even one ball, 99% of his passes were to the right leg, he also helped defensively. 

- Kenedy is real talent but he's not defender, I didn't understand why he didn't pick any player on Crystal's second goal but he is really good in attack.

- Zouma man of the match for me, he gave all of him today. 

- Falcao good to see him scoring but he can't even control the ball, Jose has a lot of work to do with him.

 

Crystal Palace were smarter than us, they played on our weak players. Sako made Ivanovic look like a championship defender, Bolasie did the same after. Puncheon did whatever he want on Fabregas. They put more defensive pressing on Pedro than Hazard because Hazard was out of the game. Delaney and Dann simply marked Costa, he couldn't even find a proper way to shoot, also he couldn't really affect because Fabregas didn't even find him properly. 

 

We immediately need to wake up, we are far from being champions. Crystal made us a lesson, as a team we should learn from mistakes and keep supporting. COME ON CHELS, WAKE UP!!!

No Complain about the result, beaten by a better team with the better manager. I hate to say this, but this one was completely down to Jose. We had one problem today, from start to the finish, it's the f* right back. After repeated warning through the first half to the goal, Jose didn't do a single thing about it. Instead he took off the natural right back who was playing out of position on the left, and went 3 in the back, like the problem would go away? The Matic sub is another mad one, you just took the last piece of armor in front of the defenders, and no chance we could win the ball in midfield battle. The last change was made about 72nd minute, there was no chance we could keep it clean at the back with 3 defenders and no midfield anchor man. The second goal from Palace was going to come, just a matter of time. We threw about 3 strikers on, no width, no full back, it made so easy for their lumpng central defenders. I'm sure Jose will talk up the bravery of the team and moan about the bad lucks, but he could have changed that by not starting Ivanoic, or took him off after repeated warning shots. For heaven sake, didn't we just sign a 20M full back ?

 

Very annoyed, another couple of bad results by October, I could see us out of the title race. By this rate, it's pretty likely. Jose really need to swallow his pride and make the tough call. I thought Cesc improved today, but Ivanoic was just terrible from start to finish. I love the man, but it's time to bench him.

Jose finally lost patience today. Thought Kenedy looked very bright when he came on, and considering the situation RLC did quite well too. Im expecting a bit of a shake-up now. surely kenedy needs more involvement on that evidence, and ivanovic needs to go away and work his nuts off to get his place back. 4 out of 4 shocking performances from him so far.

Hopefully Jose comes out and admits that they were just better than us today. nothing controversial happened, just 11 men who wanted it more and worked harder to get the result they wanted. Times like these are when we miss Lamps, Cole, Drog and Cech. They would surely be reading the riot act to the rest of the squad along with Jose, and setting the example of how to train and play like champions

Please god shake that team up! get some legs in the middle, Dave at rb. Baba lb. and Give Kenedy a go! Fabregas looks awful!

I'm not seeing many animated faces who look like they hate losing too start fighting with a bit of pride!

Next game there have to be major changes, bring in a CM no matter what. My opinion:

 

-----------Courtois------------

 

Azpi--Zouma--Terry--Baba

 

----------RLC--Matic---------

 

Pedro----Oscar---Kennedy

 

-------------Costa-------------

 

I wouldn't be against this.

 

Hazard needs showing he needs to buck his ideas up, same Fabregas. Ivanovic is coming to the end of his Chelsea career by the looks of it, we need a major shake up next game.

Not sure if the international break will be good or bad for us after this shocking performance. Also a big 3 days now to try to sort this sh*t out.

We have limited time to right some of the wrongs in terms of squad depth as theres only 2 days left really, but its a worry

This might be the worst title-season winning hangover I've ever witnessed.

 

Jose certainly has his favourites - he keeps playing Ivanovic and Ivanovic keeps on getting owned by whatever moderately pacy winger he is up against. Dropping him would solve at least some of our problems. 

Yet, but it's not only about Ivanovic. It's the same team weak in, weak out. I don't think that Ivanovic is the only problem, because we simply weren't better today.

You could see today that Palace were actually better, faster, more effective than us. They made two easy goals whereas Falcao really had some work to do to score.

 

I also reckon that the referee was quite tolerant which benefited Palace.

Why oh why did Jose play Brana RB...!!

As a mere pleb I could tell you playing him against two excellent wingers wasn't a good idea...time to think again Jose...

I'm taking a break as I don't feel anything justifies referring to the lads as c---s.

When in this position there's only one way to go and that's forward.

Let's get behind the team and management. Come on you Blues, dig deep and return to glory while we KTBFFH.

We've just become the biggest joke in the country

 

If it wasn't for Liverpool this would be true.

What's hilarious is that we KNOW Jose will pick exactly the same side for the next match. The mind boggles.

Very, very disappointing. Haven't felt this low after a game in quite a while. The title seems a long, long way off now.

At least Kenedy and RLC looked good.

These are the only positives for me as well.

Whats worrying is that we arent just unlucky or have a couple of players misfiring. We are playing like sh*t and its f**king everyone, from top to bottom

You can't win the league in August but you can well and truly blow it. Depressing stuff. Just have to believe our season hasn't started yet.

not at all shocking. not one bit. palace have some awesome players and we lacked fitness, hunger and the basic footballing skills.

this defeat is on jose by the way.

starting with iva AGAIN. starting with cesc in the midfield AGAIN.

why did our players look so disinterested?

why did iva jog, stopped to a walk and then stood still for a whole thing of 10 seconds when were a goal down. what has happened to the team that walked the league 3 months ago?

just shambolic. its like someone has interchanged jose and arsenal's mindset. making the same mistakes again and again. i think it was jose who said that u cant win a title in august/september but u can surely lose it. and we certainly have.

by the way, can we atleast start with kenedy next game. 

Paddy Power ?@paddypower  12m12 minutes ago
Chelsea have lost 2 out of 3 games since Jose got rid of Eva Carneiro.

Everton will put the cherry on top next game, I really don't want to be this negative, but we are not beating Everton away from home, in fact Everton are favourites, which means the league is already done and dusted to be honest. 11 points behind even at this stage, that would nearly be an impossible task. As I said before, I've lowered my expectations, league is nearly gone, I hope Mourinho won't be gone, but who knows, I'm just going to enjoy any future positives in this season, but I'm not expectating much anymore.
