Just got home, do I even bother watching?

Making subs wont even make a difference anyway, no way we're coming back from this game

Ziyech is good but he's also incredibly predictable. Everyone and their dog know he's going to cut in on his left and look for the pass on the far side. Teams are figuring that out obviously.

What is the point of Kovacic this season? He offers absolutely nothing. Take him off for Gilmour or Havertz.

Imagine buying one of the best talents for 70m and not building the team around him but still hoping that a bang average player like Kovacic and aging Kante will carry you...

How do Chelsea play right now? 

Like sh*te - are you not watching?

How much you wanna bet that Mount wont get subbed off in midfield first

They don't know what to do, the half time tune up hasn't been effective. What a horrible watch

Kante  ! WTF ?

I’ve worked out our tactics for attacking - give ball to Pulisic, stand and watch him try to do it all on his own. 

That’s called the Hazard. Got us out of jail for years!

Probably not mate, worst performance for a long, long time

The cause of all our problems is our garbage midfield. No creativity whatsoever and all those 3 bums can do is just pass side to side. Mount, Kante and Kovacic all need to leave the club

I wouldn’t say it’s comprehensive but indeed our midfield is a major issue. Can’t defend or attack. I include Mount in this.

We've changed up the usual slow build up and safe play for quick and dangerous passing, it was perhaps something new to try to up our form but it's backfired massively, certainly not the game to experiment with.

It’s a sign of immaturity from Frank. When you’re off form the last thing you should do is go out all guns blazing against man city.

Realistically because any incoming manager needs to feel we'd give a manager the time to implement their team and ideas. If we finish 14th, then no manager in the world will blame the board for us sacking Lampard. If we sack Lampard in January after one months bad form, it raises questions on whether the board was too rash.

Sacking Lampard in January continues the (becoming unfair) theme that we are a club who fires their managers quickly and doesn't give them time. Something we didn't do with Sarri because he quit 

I specifically said salvage though. That means temporary, what are our chances right now of getting top 4 under Frank currently? f**king nitto I say. But a caretaker manager we could actually salvage something, we've done it before a few times at this club and its worked. Then in the summer we press on for a good manager to take us somewhere. If we stick with Frank the likelihood is we are finshing midtable at best. 

We need to end this in a positive note. 

Almost 4-0. Mendy with a good save.

Only if you get off on being punished.

Reminds me of when we had Hazard....

At least hazard could do it . Pulisic plays like an u10s player that refuses to pass . 

Watching City play today is like watching a hot knife slice through butter.

Frank has to take the blame for this current situation. The lack of investment in defence coupled with the continual inwards flow of attacking players has left the team totally imbalanced. Silva is ready for his pension so he's only useful for a season. Chilwell is a good addition but after that, we're lacking strength at the back. The jury is still out on Mendy and I think he should stop the second goal today.

This could easily end up 5-0 or 6-0.

I feel for Kai and Cho. Really do. It would be embarrassing to put them on in this game with what we are seeing. 

Needs to sit someone next to Kante against this City midfield.

What a strike by Mason

At least Kante is suspended for the next game, thank god he wont play.

With that suspension Billy will finally get to play

No Kante In the next match, at least one change for Lampard to make for next match!

So point me in the direction of when he’s had a good game ? Don’t tell me last season as I’ll end up laughing at you again . From the midfield to the forwards we are way to lightweight and small . Pulisic is just not cut out for the premier league . But for some very strange reason the media keep blowing his trumpet . I have been saying for weeks how he keeps being caught with the ball doing the exact same thing over and over again . Your excuse that it’s because he’s American is the same excuse we could have about mount ? Mount was the best midfielder for us that half but he’s too lightweight and his midfield partners are too . Our midfield is dreadful and zouma at the back would struggle to get into a championship team . If you are going g to play a 3 man midfield you need energy and strength we have the energy but not he strength . Billy gilmour won’t help with that .  

He's not playing well right now, but putting the blame on him is f**king stupid. This is the first time Pulisic has had a run of bad form since he joined the club, the others have had these dips in form multiple times now. Criticising his performances is fine, but to point the finger at him and say he is the main problem just says to me that you have a personal problem with him.

Make a f**king change Frank. f**king hell.
