When you have 4 front line full backs in the squad and all of them are injured at the same time, that's a really tough break for any manager to deal with. The only thing he hasn't tried is Maatsen at left back, and I imagine there is a very good reason that hasn't been tried. Namely that an out-of-position Colwill is a better option from what is being observed in training.

This is the problem with having so many young players - invariably, they make mistakes. It’s fine having 1/2 young players but a whole team of kids is asking for trouble. 

I think the team of kids now has lost its meaning...these aren't 17/18/19 year olds - most are in their early 20's , international players costing millions and they still perform like this week in week out, with no noticeable progress in any part of our game...same old sh*te, backwards, slow build up with so much naivety in the final 3rd.  Its only the odd flash of brilliance that's bailing us out now and then..

Bar Palmer, none of our midfield or attackers are capable of producing moments of magic. I can’t imagine they scare many defenders 

Same old story - gift them a goal like a bunch of c**ts - then they get 10 men behind the ball and we can't break them down.

The new ownership really have made watching Chelsea an utterly miserable experience.

I just can't see any way we can win with this set up and "style" of play. I am really starting to doubt that Poch is the man here. I get the injuries, I get the youngsters. I could understand it if we played a certain way that will eventually come good, but I currently can't see what he is trying to develop here

Enzo can't shoot for toffee - so god knows why Poch is playing him in an advanced position. As for Conor - this season he couldn't score in a brothel with a £50 note stuffed down his japs.

Do we have the talent to develop anything?

It's great pretending all the untalented young players We've signed are top prospects but with a few exceptions is there really anything to develop?

Feel Poch Has been given a bad hand here,  sky high expectations because of what we've spent but a group of talents that if they'd mostly ended up at Bournmouth or Luton not many eyebrows would have been raised.
