Kovacic shooting from 30 yards on the volley sums this half up

The spirit and the fun is gonefrom many of the players...

He's irrelevant and will never be a top defender.

Neither will James based on his defensive displays since he joined the first team... it’s f**king piss poor. Not even championship level. 3 goals in 2 PL games he’s directly involved in conceding.

If i could have blamed the manager for all my mistakes when i was a kid playing football, i'd have gone a long way.

Apart from all the mistakes our defenders make I really really wish we had a proper DM that can offer protection and has the positioning to actually help the back-4. Neither Kante nor Kovacic actually contribute much defensively. It's sad.

So when we are signing the players it's Franks pull but when we losing it's nothing to do so him signing the players

Sorry, my sarcasm was lost. I actually have no doubt that Frank has to shoulder his share of the blame for both recruitment that has completely ignored an absolutely shocking collection of defensive players and for showing no ability to even make them a little bit organised.
 

What was the plan - to win 5-4 every game? That’s so often worked (sarcasm)

Frank might have a few choice words at half time.  Mind you it could be the Palace look alike shirts that are the cause of this mess.

But not at fault today, unlike most of his team-mates.

It’s definitely that sh*tty kit.

The old adage "don't change a winning team" springs to mind ... every game we seem to have a new line up and a new formation ... no wonder it doesn't work ...

on a modest note Lamps will be slaughtered like Lambs.

Think he was over rated anyway. Worst Chelsea Managerial Record in 14 years.

His demise was brought down by his own players and his complicency

Team of strangers out there. Absolute shambles.

Big second half needed.

Not quite going to plan is it? ?

 

 

It’s really incredible.

lamps has to be careful. His job could be on the line soon if he doesn’t start getting results

Christensen is 4 years older than James.

Should I laugh or should i cry? 

This kit must be cursed holy sh*t.

These guys get paid millions a year just to play football.

If I ducked at my job this bad I would have been canned a long time ago.  And I make less in a year than many of them make in a week.

Frank is constantly changing the team. That doesn’t help

Yep, I'm no fan of his, but he's the one defender that hasn't put a foot wrong today.

I'm just sick of our defensive problems. I have never seen it so bad in my time as a fan. We aren't even making the opposition work for their goals. If you look at the goals we have conceded in recent years, it could probably be argued that the majority of them came from our own mistakes.

It is a worry & at some point you do need to ask the question, why do we have so many individuals errors? I believe it’s got to be the set up. Frank is responsible for that and it’s not improved in 15 months or so.

f**king unbelievable...

It would be hard to check but I doubt there has been anything like that in Prem history.

James is getting so much joy on the right side but has been unable to pick someone out once. He doesn’t seem to look up, just puts his foot through it.

Surely some variation is needed; he can cut back the cross, hit a low cross. Just seems to be aiming for the far post.

A pile of f**king sh*t. That arrogance from everyone. We're a disorganized mess but thought we could just play casually in the Premier League? Each goal was the fault of different defenders, all of them have been sh*t. This is against the team that has had the worst start.

If the same team comes out for the second half then Lampard needs to get a clue.

I get Frank is a legend and we need to stick with him but we can't just sit and pretend there isn't a very serious issue here that is damaging the club. 

If Frank and his team can't fix the comical defending then they either need to find some new coaching staff or we all know how this is going to end. 

Completely agree.

I'm not going to call for Frank's head, but surely fans alike have to see that the common factor here is some very questionable decisions and coaching. We can't defend at all.

The 6-0 midweek was an unbelievably lucky scoreline and was no reflection at all of the game. We were torn open so many times and should really have conceded 4-5 times.

I want to say things will improve, but how many times does this have to happen? With the amount of money spent, I wouldn't bet against Frank being the first to go this season if things don't get better soon.

It needs to be burned after the match.
