Sorry Val I'm not having Bixing Day. We call it St. Stephen's Day here in the civilised world (although we pronounce it Stephenses Day)

Ah. We call it Second Christmas Day. In my part of the civilised world we like our festivities organised in excel sheets.

They even have James doing PR spins.

He's not wrong. It does speak for itself and it says we're awful, we're trying to be as boring as possible and we're not achieving anything. Things can't get any worse, and with this Reece is saying what we all say, and then things do get worse. One of our own and one of us!

Wonder if he got any hair or tactical nuance for Christmas?

I’m hoping he got his P45 personally.

Xavi available, De Zerbi/Fabregas likely poachable, food for thought

This was a tactical masterclass from Maresca... Helping Villa with 3 points so they can keep up with the Arse.

It's all part of the mega plan to stop the Arse from winning the title.

There was a half-time Uber Eats advert today on SKY in which Alan Pardew, Sam Allardyce and Tony Pulis were on holiday together. Any one of those would do. Really.

Needs to pack his f**king bags ASAP.

His inability to see that what is best for the squad isn’t shoehorning his bumboys Neto, Gusto & Enzo into every lineup who collectively contribute sweet f**k all to the side.

Drop Neto, put Palmer out RW

Drop Enzo, put Santos in there

Gusto doesn’t even need to be discussed there’s no position for him!

And f**k off with Badiashille whilst you’re at it as well.

The squad is fine, the manager is the issue.

How is it possible that this idiot is a manager in PL(or in Championship or in League One)?

I really don’t like talking in this manner, but I really can’t wait for the day he departs the club.

Just dragging us down. Poor selections. Too much rotation. Players out of position. Poor sub timing. Doesn’t develop players. I struggle to see what he brings.

Holding us back. It’s like a cloud over the club.

Fitness > Results

He must be the worst manager in Chelsea ever.

WinStewart if you are reading this- please get rid of Maresca.

Blame the director's. They are the real criminals in building this crap squad. Even with a new manager, this team is far off from.a title.

Get this ill tempered, tactically inept, arrogant piece of sh*t out of my f**king club. f**k off.

Got to go now, enough is enough.

What....! He hasn't been sacked yet! How is that possible?

I reckon that’s him gone. Nobody likes losing but losing when you are putting performances in like that isn’t acceptable. He’s a goner.

Exactly. The idea that a new manager comes in and makes this team into title contenders is laughable. The Sporting Directors have made some rubbish signings and it we will have to sell before we bring in any new signings or risk sanctions for FFP.

It also looks like we won't be able to bring in the experience needed without changing our entire age structure, based on the way we quickly walked away after talking with Semenyo.

Plus we could use a shirt sponsor!

For the first time in my near 30 years following my club Im nearing the point where I won’t watch again until this man is gone. He’s ruining it for me, I can’t get up for games anymore because I know what’s coming.

He’s a boring defensive anti football manager that’s living off some summer kick about trophy. I didn’t even feel this rage under the FSW which I never ever thought possible.

These owners are poison btw

Same. I usually don’t like calling for managers out but I don’t think I’ve been more infuriated with a manager than the one we have now.

The sporting directors are poison.

Liverpool and Arsenal also have American owners who know eff all. Ours are very ambitious and spend. Difference is they have hired football men who are frauds. I hope the Sporting Directors are being called out and held accountable. Can't just be on the manager.

He has zero clue how to change tactics mid game, absolutely tragic. Emery is 10x the manager that Maresca is.
