No we’ve got the highest ranking team in West London haven’t we?

Yep, the highest vs the lowest of all 3.

My big worry is, why would players like James want to stick around for this sh*t show when they could go to City, or Real, or anywhere they like.

Slonina, Badiashile, W.Fofana, Santos, Casadei, Zakaria, Chukwuemeka, D.Fofana, Nkunku, 

Todd's buying Reece a whole new team to play with LOL

Well, thankfully he’s locked in now. It’s Mount who thinks Real Madrid, PSG, City are knocking down the door for him and he’s doing ‘us’ a favour by staying 😅

Unfortunately not a surprise, about how most of us expected the match to go - an endurance test for the fans.

Still a small silver lining today with going out early this season - at least we won't have the disappointment of losing yet another FA Cup final!

Apart from Kepa none of the 11 that started today should be allowed to put on a blue shirt this season.  An abject performance across the entire team including the manager.  The kicking of the ball by Azpi against the signage demonstrated, at least, the frustration he is now feeling with the losses continuing to mount up, not just the result but the performances and shambles we are as a club right now.  We spent more time in our own penalty areas passing the ball around and to Kepa than we did in City's half, a total f**king mess from back to front and that comes down to Potter, no one else.  I've got over the fact that he could use injuries as an excuse because regardless he still has 15+ players to train and coach every day and he's just not capable.  I think after today, the players will begin to switch off, if many haven't done so already.   Well best of luck Todd signing any decent players this window if you keep advertising this type of turgid, mind numbing, backward style football.  It seems Todd and GP are beginning to lose the fans.  Us fans can shout and scream all we want but Todd isn't going anywhere and sad to say neither is GP...unfortunately.   

Todd should just give GP his P45 and find another manager rather than spunking his money on another £20+m kid that will end up in the development squad and never see the light of day in the first team.

How does potter survive these run of results .. sarri gave a resounding spurs victory after the city drubbing.. 

this is hopeless - having said that Kepa is our number 1 and has outlasted 2 managers is just the beginning of our problems.

hopeless team selection and experimentation by a novice manager, nothing against him but this chap is clueless if he wanted to play a back 4 playing so narrow was stupidity and required a 433 with Auba. with his squad injuries he needed to play a back 5

the squad is not going to win the league but they are good enough to compete- his failure to setup his team is baffling and embarrassing. 

Just need to beat Fulham and then not lose the next one.

We took a pasting today and a strange starting team considering the opposition, some of the subs look like they will be decent players.

If we don't start winning I see Potter sacked soonish, the odd pasting like this you can survive as long as you are capable of winning.

Well lads you now know how it was to follow Chelsea in the 70s. Team full of youngsters, experienced players who were crap and a downward cycle. Only difference is we generally turned up for cup ties…well some of them!

“We’ve got our Chelsea back.We’ve got our Chelsea back”

Good job social media wasn’t around in 78/79!!!

How do we beat Fulham? We're not capable of scoring goals and our defense is terrible, they're run over us.

I'm beyond criticising individuals.

Potter needs to win a few on the spin. 

This form will see us drop into bottom half of the table. 

Looking at the body language of the players it is hard to see him turning this around.

What do we do then? Because we will never build anything if we hire and fire all the time. How do we sell a project if we can't keep a manager longer than a few months?

Appreciate that view but then again do we proceed with putting up a Burj Khalifa when we know the Premier Inn builders we gave the job to are not capable of pulling it off, just because we want the project completed?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not even calling for him to get the sack. I believe he should have at least a full season but I'm never an advocate of getting by if we have the resources to excel. Just because we want to appear a stable club.
