True, we do have some extremely physically imposing players who are dominate in the air...

If we can't win this we will lose the next games against Liverpool and Everton even worse...

Why would I want to bet? Its a gut feeling after watching us make the same mistakes all season. 

And you had the nerve to say I throw my toys out the pram...

your gut is way off.

Batshuayi doesn't even try to improve any of his all round game. He's been with us for 4 years now..

Awful awful awful. Lampard is to blame for the defensive setup (mind you our defenders are also poor players).

Frank needs several hundred million to put this right, sadly

If only one of his best mates was a club legend and one of the best centre backs of the modern era. Could’ve brought him in. 

The thing that is frustrating is that the defensive players while not world class, are at least decent. Frank has to be setting them up better to defend. 
 

He’s not going to win any trophies with a shoddy and weak defense that gives easy goals away. 

Still time to turn this around

Don't see Frank seeing out the season tbh. We keep getting shown up by poor teams. 

I have to agree, although he will likely see out the season; if we want to move forward at be back at the top table of world football then we need a world class manager not a rookie, as good as a club legend he was.  We should never had sacked Conte, best manager we had since Jose's first time around. Should have backed him and given him the players he wanted.

Come on Frank, you got to be doing better than this. I understand our squad are pretty poor for our standards but we are better than this.

Abramovich has given up on us I fear. This team is much poorer then what we had before he bought us.

I disagree, that is also down to the players. They are too weak, they lose too many 1v1 aerial duals. If we are going to fill up the squad with a bunch of weak cb's, there will be only one outcome. Every successful team needs a strong cb. 

Physically weak, mentally weak, tactically weak. And weakened by injuries.

And my stream is sh*te.

Conte is a fantastic manager but he loses his head at every club he manages. Unfortunately he can’t sustain his intensity

I don't think it's the defense. It's more like all over the pitch. The gaps between defense and midfield and offense is so big. There're Bournemouth players in every pocket of space

Well off.   Bet on it if you are sure it's true

Starting to fear for Frank and that the club will be back at square one if he's moved on

The board does not have a tendency to be patient.

In some ways being in 4th all season is actually working against Frank and putting more pressure on him. I don’t think many people have chelsea to finish 4th at the start of the season. 

Even if we somehow do score, we won't, it's still not good enough, 3 points was a must here, another cockup.

We are building up so slowly we would need 2 weeks to be able to score. This Chelsea team is truly pathetic

Every corner of theirs, they get a head on it.. Everyone of ours they get a head on it..
We are amongst the worse in the prem on set pieces and I'm sorry but Frank and the coaching staff are going to see some blame quite rightly coming there way.
We are just so weak once we lose the upper hand in a game, i hate to say it but we appear gutless..

Sacking Conte was the right choice. What wasn't the right choice was not backing him the season after winning the league. The Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Morata signing set us back 5 years.

You tend to back a manager who has just won the league.....
