Sad.. extremely poor finishing and glaring ref errors .. in between we getting caught on posession twice due to Maresca ball..

Same game as the last 5 games. Winless in 5 games. 
 

We’ve genuinely watched the same exact game back to back to back weeks. Nothing different. Same script. Same performance. Same exact Game management. 
 

Need a new ST yesterday.

Why are we bothering with corners? Might as well just let them have a goal kick every time. Absolute waste of time, every time.

How did Jacko and Sancho play the full game there. Absolutely sh*te the pair of them. 

Do we have to sign Sancho? Is there any way out of it? He was sh*t at United and he's not been any better with us in all honesty.

I just want Lavia fit so we never see Caciedo at right back again and never see Enzo as a regular again.

 

I honestly wouldn't care a jot if we sold him this window. Utter waste of a player as soon as the game goes against us. 

 

Yes we need a centre forward, yes we need a dominant centre half but we also need a replacement for Enzo. Simply isn't good enough.

 

 

Agree! Seems Maresca keeps forcing him into his lineup after he had that purple patch. He is weak and can’t play in mid 2

Certain people said he was finished, he always comes back just as good. Reece and Cole our only truly world class players. 

Now bring back Chilwell

Draw was probably the most predicted result before the game. So I think it is fair. 

Surely we should have won. It should have been three nil at half time

£50m+ for Neto is criminal 

So weak. Offers virtually nothing.

Well said.. can’t see what some fans are seeing. Utd fans say he plays like he is on a playground; nice touches and footwork but no end product.

Reece James has just numbed it, but this is a crisis. 

We are a nearly team, probably on the first half should have won but goals win games and we miss too many chances. The yellow for Brookes was decisive, is pulling hair now allowed? Bournemouth though deserve credit for their comeback and got their point. Nice freekick at the end for Reece.

Reece deserved the celebrations, he has been through a terrible blow to his career, when he was well on his way to being the best RB in the world.

The rest of the team should not be celebrating a late goal to get a point off injury hit Bournemouth. Another disgraceful performance in the second half, and finishing overall.

Dropping points to mid table.. for 5 consecutive matches.. 

his stubbornness in not having the fb overlap means our wingers are useless .. unfortunately our striker is useless anyhow.. 

one month and five games since our last league win.

Obligation to sign, absolute jokers negotiating that deal, especially as they were DESPERATE to get rid of his 350k pw wages. We should have had all the bargaining power.

Well I believe if we finish 14th or lower we don't, otherwise yes we do.

Issue is we will never see his best under Maresca. He said prematch yesterday he doesn’t like up and down fullbacks. James is at his best marauding.

Frustrating night but it looked like a disaster a few mins ago. The last few games have just been a repeat of terrible misses, questionable ref decisions against us and gifting the opposition a goal by giving the ball away in our own half. 

Thar Reece James free kick. Now that was having our Chelsea back, for a moment. 

A reminder of what Roman built. What qe used to be.

Not sure how Enzo Fernandez is coming in for critism there tbh. 

Caicedo was terrible, as he has been since Everton tbh. Lavia great 1st half, then big error that lead to the penalty. 

Madueke, Neto, Jackson, Sancho, all way worse than Enzo today who has been consistently pretty good even through this bad patch. 

Maresca needs to up his game and find solutions with the abundance of talent he has at his disposal. 

 

Madueke and Neto are 2 peas in a pod. 
 

One needs shipping off in the summer. Need a goal scoring winger to replace who leaves. 

Maresca needs to sort whatever has happened between him and the team asap. Since Christmas, he's completely stopped his in-game tweaks for some mysterious reason and players have looked disinterested for the most part.  

People saying Leicester fans warned us, but up until this run of results he was not stubborn at all and actually showed he is capable of adapting.

I'd very much like to know the reasons behind this sudden change of pace.

Up the Chels.

I wouldn't play any of the wingers.

I'd have a front four of Palmer, Jackson, Felix, and Nkunku, and my bench would always have Chukwuemeka on it.
