Really poor half again. Broja unfortunately is no answer to our number 9 problem.

I wonder what Boehly's thinking

Sorry but that was fekkin pathetic,  no guile,  no cutting edge pass, no strength.no passion ffs we are Chelsea wtf is happening?

well that was a zero 45mins

I have no idea what we are trying to do.......

how was that not a pen lol

Just now, just said:

I thought he was shouting at Jorginho for not covering the runner?

Looked to me it was at Hall for leaving KK alone 3 times and leaving our left flank wide open. Wouldn't make sense to shout at Jorgi for not covering a run when he's already on a yellow imo.

Which player's gonna join us when we finish outside the top 6? 

Other teams such as Arsenal and Man United kept signing players despite finishing outside of the top 4, we'll do it too.

He had a shot on target. Big improvement when you consider he’s basically getting the ball lumped at him like Big Sam was our manager.

He's probably looking for a buyer to sell the club to lol.

But seriously, we are truly a mid-table side now getting outplayed by Newcastle.

Every performance is more pathetic than the last.

Complete inability to play out from the back against any sort of press.
Only other option is a hoof forward, which is immediately lost.
Zero press from ourselves, allowing opposition to play out as they see fit.
No teamwork - some press, some don't, leaving massive gaps behind them.
Very little width, besides 1 or 2 runs from Hall.

It's like watching a team from a lower division play a PL team. There is such a gulf in class, no matter who are opponents are, and no matter which players we pick in which positions.

Mourinho might call this team a "little horse". It's more like a diseased donkey with arthritis and a broken hip.
 

Defending was solid - no shots on goal for the barcodes

Neither do the players or manager. 

clean sheet at HT is a positive

I have no idea what we are trying to do or what our game plan is 

We are playing like a mid table club going to one the big boys. Sitting deep trying to frustrate, and if we somehow manage a goal on the counter then we will take it. 

Passing has been woeful, and the amount times the front 3 have lost the ball with loose 1st touch is worrying.

Hall has been good again, 2 lovely weighted passes down the channel, just a shame no one else seems to be playing with the same quality and purpose.

We conceded 1 goal and this team is dead.

This is a team with Almiron in it ffs. He's been a bum until this season. Trippier is a spurs cast off. Dan Burn! Wtf. Come on Chelsea. 

I don’t care what players we’ve got, clearly there is one side playing as a team and one that isn’t.

All I ask for is a team that can play as a team. At the moment we’re really not getting that.

Do you know what really scares me? Thiago Silva might retire after World Cup, he’s the only player we have that would break into our greatest team. Everybody else is below par.

by the time this seasons over ill have my house painted. watching paint dry is better than watching chelsea lately

There's only one winner there though Mod. And he ain't Italian.

Not sure what our game plan is, other than play it back to Mendy and use his distribution skills or lack of them to create attacks

I don't think we are defending that well, Newcastle's final ball has just been poor. We are one decent pass from being carved open on our left.

Potter's been here for 2 months now, why do we look like we haven't been coached at all?

Another totally underwhelming half of football. Can't just blame Potter, the injuries are crippling us now.

Injuries are amplifying the already huge problem we have with large parts of this squad.
