Blame the whole club. We have built up this culture of giving the players an excuse by shifting the blame onto the coach.

We have had the best coaches in football at this club for 20 years now, how the f**k can this happen to every one of them every single time? Even if we had Klopp and Guardiola, the same sh*t would happen. There isn't a chance in hell that Klopp would have gotten 3 years to turn this club around like he did at Liverpool. Guardiola would have been sacked after his first season at the club because he would never have gotten the funds to rebuild like he did at City.

Our club is poison. It's a few months of highs that paper over the cracks before the same sh*t starts happening all over again. 

So what is 'the poison' Poison needs an antidote, and that is what? The manager has changed, the players have changed even the f**king owners have changed and its a mystery as to why we are so f**king sh*t.

Watch the fifth goal. Quick passing and we weren’t a great team 42 years ago!! We didn’t score for the last 12 games of the season!!

That's a record we might challenge this season.

Kepa - 6 - Not as sh*te as the rest and made a good save.

James - 4 - sh*te against any team that sits back and defends. Has physcial presence, but doesn't use it and doesn't have the pace to run past full backs that sit deep. 

Fofana - 4 - Out paced and beaten for strength for their goal.

Koulibaly - 3 - If this guy is going to be taking Silva's spot next season, then we are f**ked. Washed up and has no agility, turns like a tank and has the reaction speed of a snail.

Azpilicueta - 4 - Barely noticed him on the pitch, I don't know if that is a good or bad thing.

Chilwell - 5 - Barely got him involved in the first half, didn't even try and spot his runs in behind the defence.

Kovacic - 5 - Carried the ball well, but looked hopeless once he got into attacking areas.

Mount - 3 - sh*te again.

Havertz - 2 - Worst player on the pitch after Ziyech. Constantly running into players, taking too many touches. Boring footballer to watch.

Sterling - 3 - Sterling's strength is his movement and we want him to dribble past defences and play intricate touch play football. He will go down as another expensive flop if that is how we want to use him.

Aubameyang - 4 - Tell him to shoot. He also needs to get used to having no service at this club, they don't have a creative bit of football in them.

Subs 

Broja - 5 - What chance does he have of making it at Chelsea when not a single player in the team can find him?

Ziyech - 2 - One of the worst performances off the bench since Bakayoko. The only reason why I didn't give him a 1 is because unlike the rest, he was at least trying to make things happen.

Jorginho - 3 - Pointless sub, can't do anything but sideways passes.

Pulisic - 2 - Dogsh*t, couldn't even control a football

Cucurella - 3 - Headless chicken.

I actually thought Fofana gew into the game although surprised how easily he was outpaced but I like what I saw from him second half.

Obviously we are set up to play teams who don't bother to defend.

Only to get on the pitch to find the bastards are actually defending deep and parking buses too.

Can't blame the manager for not having a Crystal ball . How's he to know ?

Don’t blame the team, f**king blame Tuchel, he really is inept at changing stuff up, I yearn passionately for Carlos footie+ Contes will to win!

Carlo had about 5-7 awful seasons after he got sacked. Last season he was great. 

In terms of Conte have you forgotten the second season with us? 

Lets not be Chelsea of Roman's era and let Tuchel ride this low out.

i dont think the first one is goal if Kepa doesnt rush out.. Fofana was forcing the player out wide and would have been difficult for him to generate power.. Kepa made a poor decision.. In the second half Fofana was the only defender that looked chelsea level

Fact is every attacking player has regressed under Tuchel! Every single one. Ziyech had a wand of a left foot and Pulisic could score some pretty impressive goals…now they offer absolutely nothing. 
 

5 at the back will not suit our attacking players where the wingbacks are attacking all the space.

We will batter Man City and Liverpool as they don't park the bus.

Then you'll all be apologising for being hasty in your judgements.

Liverpool maybe. They're struggling as much as we are.

But Haaland will break the Premier league goal record if he plays 90 minutes against Azpi.

I'd take Potter all day long. He has done more than enough to merit a shot with a CL club and has shown consistently that he gets a team organised, playing as a team and finding a good balance between defending and attacking. And doesn't strike me as someone who sticks to something that isn't working.

If only. Never happen here though

We are getting killed by teams who park the bus and counter.

Potter got virtually no experience against that type of football. Potter would be a major risk.

Most managers are a risk to an extent. I'd rather take a risk on a Potter who will not tolerate coasters then take a risk on another big name foreign manager who needs to learn the league and so will stick to big name players for too long

Hakimi Mbappe combo! What a goal. Two brilliant goals for him against Juventus.

Watching it, Him, Messi and Neymar, maybe the best front 3 I’ve ever seen, Messi Neymar and Suarez were f**king ellectric as well…

We don't have an antidote yet, just a temporary cure for a few months before it comes back out again.

We need time to change. Hiring and firing, players downing tools and having a mini bounce back when things go wrong, this is something that has been built up over 20 years, it's now part of our culture, but it's ugly and it needs to be stamped out.

All we've got to do is park the bus.

Ding...ding...ding! We have a winner!
