We can keep signing players but after a while that won’t fix much.. surely Leeds aren’t a better squad .. but look better coached.. and that is brutally honest 

Can we forfeit?

There's certain subs that come on that must strike fear into tired defenders.

Defenders get the deck chairs out when Pulisic and Ziyech come on.

We've been terrible all game but how can have spent so much on this squad and have no attacking quality or goal scorers on the bench?  No way to change a game.

And we haven't since Giroud left.

f**king abysmal yet again, Tommy just fitting players into his formation that don't suit it, will the stubborn f**ker change it?

history says no

Our recruitment has been so bad for years now just signing flavour of the month players with zero regards of how they fit into the system we want to play. 

Who watched Havertz and thought it was a good idea. He's maybe a number 10 but we don't play one.

We're now playing a 4-1-3-2 with five players you'd probably describe as attackers, hard to say he hasn't thrown the kitchen sink at the situation.

Ultimately we've (yet again) been let down by our lack of depth at centre mid.

I'm turning it off.

Hopefully that lot is half as embarrassed to have played the way they did as I am watching this shambles.

If Roman didn't get his club taken off of him - Tommy would probably not even be here now.

If Roman didn't get his club taken off of him - We would probably have better players on the pitch.

Sometimes Managers need to go, would you be happy still having Avram Grant as Boss?

I blame Peter Kenyon for all the above! Also for this scoreline!

Go on, who do you want as manager? Who in the entirety of world football apart from pep or klopp is gonna improve us? 

Glad I missed this game

James missing on his defensive duties as usual, and world class Koulibaly missing a defensive header. All is well.

Koulibaly is finding out pretty fast what the EPL is all about...any team can beat any team on any given day.  You don't perform in this league you get punished...today is a case in point and a reality check especially after last weeks performance...

That is not the problem. We don't have the personel to play back 4.

What do we need to play a back 4? & why hasn’t he bought players to instil a change to a back 4?

And that’s the crux of the issue. There’s no way Leeds squad is better than ours but look at the difference in application. A clear strategy and players that are committed to it.

Well, as everyone knows, I'm no fan, but to call him a coward is harsh. He is just very poor, in fact almost non-existent as a defensive screen, Always has been. He doesn't protect other players at all, he needs other players to protect him.

Agree. He is not a coward. Jorgi actually played with tons of fire. But as you said he is a basic dm.

Hes not a no 10. Being played in wrong position like so many players.

I'd give @Munkworth a spin looking at this match!

Midfield is non existent without Kante, at least 2 world class midfielders needed

Another typical Chelsea fking horror show. It wasn't that long ago we were mocking Man Utd for how sh*t they are. I can see a 4-0 here. 

Disgraceful performance

At least not in half i guess...

I wouldn't judge some of these players just because they don't fit into Tuchel's system. At some point we need to start looking at the system and not the players

All well and good, except pretty much the same set of players didn't work in Sarri's or Lampard's systems either ... 

Mount off. Another horror show.

Bench him next week.

Wait till fans find out we are in talks to extent his contract.

Casemiro would have been so good. 

Embarrassment. Absolute disgrace of a performance. 

Get Bernardo silva from city

What was our strategy today? Even if we make no mistakes and the first goal doesn't happen and the second goal doesn't happen, we still look clueless. 

Another Tuchel impotent offensive performance
