Given where we are in the league, NOT losing is a good thing right now. Expectations chaps ... this season has been atrocious. FA cup and CL now, and safety in the league. 

Why not to give Bertrand Traore a chance?

Ahead of who?

Why not to give Bertrand Traore a chance?

Because he might play good and deserve to play more which guus doesnt want,

A team set up not to lose and maybe snatch something later on.

 

That's what our expectations were. 

 

Against Watford.

 

The players given to Hiddink were the same ones given to Jose and they simply aren't good enough for anything more than this. We're a mid-table team and this is an adequate result for a team of our level.

He's lost one game as Chelsea manager, get a grip

 

This is ridiculous!  I guess we see Chelsea differently!  Seriously - are you happy with this result and this coward of a manager??  We are going backwards!  This really hurts me as a passionate chelsea fan!

Clearly Guus' job is to keep us up and get us to the end of the season still in the division. The lack of serious activity in the January window shows that the board have written off this season and are planning for next season. Expect some significant changes in the summer.

Watford were spent in the second half there as well, had nothing left in the tank. We should have taken advantage of that, brought the more attacking Baba on at LB and used Traore in place of Willian. 

 

Was a very poor game to watch.

Ahead of who?

 

Could you see Oscar scoring? 

 

Traore - Hazard - Willian

10 unbeaten. Chill out.

 

It's the level of performance though, it was terrible. If we had given it a go from the start and got a draw, i wouldn't be so critical.

If you have to tell people you're a passionate Chelsea fan then you probably aren't

Guus is so cautious! We are far better at being active than passive!

Pathetic by Chelsea, absolutely pathetic ! To watch these players not being able to make a tackle, control the ball or put 2 passes together is just painful.

Positive spin on things- we've been hard to beat since Guus took over which probably bodes well for cup runs. 

 

Negative- we're still pretty pants. Also mid-table mediocrity almost certainly awaits.  

Ahead of who?

 

One of the midfielders? 

 

You can understand why people might think that though. That's what we would've done if we were in a race for the title. 

Ahead of who?

Two up front? It seems to work ok for Watford and Leicester.

Bored out of my skull, decent point or not, nearly 15th now, this season ending will be like an early Christmas present.

Could you see Oscar scoring?

Traore - Hazard - Willian

The guy who scored a hat trick at the weekend? Yeah.

And we god rid of jose for that !!! Omg talk about a yes man

I mean he plays exactly the same players in exactly the same positions so whats the point in him even being there

Disgusted

Maybe you are right - but I think the manager is a coward!  We need a manager with balls!  Azpiluceuta is a right back not left back!  Why start with Mikel and Matic against Watford?  Why not attack this small team from start, Baba and Hazard on bench.  And manager only makes 1 substitute - just 1 when we are being held by Watford??????  we have players with pace in Kennedy, Loftus and Pedro.  Why cant a manager play 2 forwards??  Ivanovic offers nothing in attack and defense - yet he starts!!  This is ridiculous and hurts!!

we would of lost that not long ago

Would of liked the three points but wont cry over the draw.....UP THE CHELS!

Guus gotta take big blame for this one. Had all the room in the world down the sides, yet continued with Azpi, who hardly defended all night. Get an attacking FB on!

 

Didn't make a sub until 73mins, whereby as soon as he does it we looked much more threatening. Why was Matic on the Pitch? he was playing as an attacking midfielder. We have so many better options than that.

 

Far too negative in a game where really we had nothing to lose. Negativity shows he has given up on top 4. Shocking at the lack of opportunities given to players who genuinely offer something different and show desire.

 

Fuming. As for whoever said its a good point. They can well and truly f**k off. Its Watford.

Half challenge, half tackle, half passing, half effort, half vision, half passion, half drive, half desire, half discipline, half awareness, half bother, half the team turned up. Cheers, boys. I hope half of you lot will be gone in the summer.

We are obsessed with two holding midfielders, literally every single game regardless of the fact they are both seriously average.

Wasn't a terrible performance imo - the team did their job well, individually and structurally. Watford were good and problematic physically and at set pieces but we stood up to that and ended up a little unlucky not to take the points.

Midweek away to Watford isn't exactly the type of game we can expect to turn up and pass them off the park- football is about more than that.

As I say- my only complaint is that in hindsight Eden could've come on earlier.

Although reading these comments make me wonder if half of you have seen much of the league this season. It's tough, never mind for a side who have had the issues we've had.
