I think a lot of people underestimate how our large squad is having an effect on the team as a whole.

Like I've been saying, I don't buy that excuse. Ranieri had the same thing back in 2003-04. The biggest issue with us for years has been our lack of fight. Every single team works harder than our lot, they put their bodies on the line, we can barely get out of a jog.

We were very good at passing the ball from side to side. 

We created less big chances this season than Leicester. 

We created 29 chances agains Villa (who are a much better team than Wolves), how many have we created today?

Well we've tried Tuchel and Potter - both managers held in extremely high regard, if they're too 'sh*t' then I'm not sure who is going to turn us into challengers overnight!?

You can't compare an elite manager like Tuchel to Potter, full stop there.

Too many wrong decisions by everybody from squad to the bench.

contrasting different teams in the PL played against still no level up by our players.

Thank you I will take 40 points & go home.

Worse than what we were? Did you watch any of the last few games under Potter? We were playing decent stuff at times. Couldn't score - but the football was decent and we were creating chances.

Was a million miles away from this dross

the game against Villa at home last week was just as bad if not worse 

Next manager simply needs to be an authoritative figure above all else.

He shoud've became an assistant to an elite coach like Arteta, that way he can actually learn some tactics first

Boehly would have sacked Arteta after his first year at Arsenal when he was out of the top 4. They finished 8th!!! Arsenal are showing the benefits of patience and letting someone with talent grow into the position. Clubs should take note, and not just ours.

Some of the worst, most aimless passing I've ever seen from a Chelsea team. Every single player out there could have their performance summed up with either "Embarrassing" or "Pathetic".

I can't actually believe the amount of money these owners have wasted on absolute dross.

Total waste of a third of a nuclear submarine.

not true. We played decent against villa and should have scored 4

I haven’t paid any attention this half. Assume it’s been the same old sh*t?

We're actually getting the ball in the box now we're pushing the full-backs up. Game state obviously helps with our ability to do that, but still...

Arteta took over a team that was 10th, and hadn't finished top 4 in 3 years

No, our game was moving away from all that endless passing,.and we were creating loads of chances and moving the ball much quicker than previously. 

 

Gallagher getting sent off there would have topped this match right off.

Whats your point? That potter was some sort of misunderstood genius? 

Absolute f**king dog turd football. But it will be Potters fault no doubt.

We do seem to be at the 'banning ice cream' part of the cycle.

They haven’t won anything yet though? Knocked out of every cup competition and taken out early in Europe.

You need the check the trophy cabinet?

Yeah well Derby County were once the best team in England, doesn't give them the right to be 'top 4' every year though does it?

Don't put Tuchel in the same bracket as Potter or Lampard. Tuchel won trophies with a worse team, he hit a bit of bad form and morons wanted him sacked. The same morons that made every excuse under the sun for Potter.

If people think Lampard being crap makes Potter good, I don't know what to tell you.

I really agree with this. We need to hire a complete bastard to get going again

Think there are too many soft players in the squad that need man management and a kick up their arse from time to time.
