Fulham 5 - 1 Chelsea

Maresca ‘The atmosphere was positive yes, this is what we have to do, we must engage the fans’

After yesterday’s results, it basically means this is a must win. Lose/draw and top 5 is gone.

Rather than watch the game, I’ve decided to take my daughter out for a bike ride. Says it all.

Honestly who even cares any more

Tuchel turned us into the team that no-one wanted to play.

Maresca has turned us into the team that no-one wants to watch !

And everyone wants to play against.

Gone are the days when I looked forward to our matches. And still I watch, hoping against hope. Still, I cling to the knowledge everything goes up and down, so someday things will get better.

I'll be forcing myself to watch this sh*t show later because I'm a sadistic basterd 😃👍

We've been in the "must win" situation for months and we've f**ked it up time and again so I expect nothing to change here.

It'll be the same half arsed performance with the same ineffective tactics culminating in an underwhelming result.

The ownership, Sporting Directors and Management will take zero responsibility for any of it.

First game of the season I've not watched this season and, quite frankly, I couldn't give a toss. 2-0 Fulham, Maresca says we should be grateful to have been in the top 4 most of the season even though we're 7th now, players don't care, piss off.

Must win game but not feeling confident at all. The reverse fixture is where it started to go wrong maybe it’ll flip this time.

Jamie Ohara talks crap, this is the bloke who has been calling for Tottenham to sack their manager for months, BUT has cundy been got at?

Out for Easter Sunday dinner today so unable to watch. I'll be keeping an eye on the score though and checking out this forum later. Draw at best I think. Have a fab day all and don't scoff too much choc

Just know he is going to piss me off with his lineup again, and he will be scrambling early in the 2nd half to make changes. Post game he will then say it was always the plan.

strongest line up apart from changing the system there isn't anyone decent enough to bring on

Chelsea team news

Chelsea: Sanchez, James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Madueke, Palmer, Neto, Jackson.

Subs: Jorgensen, Tosin, Badiashile, Acheampong, Gusto, Lavia, Dewsbury Hall, Sancho, George. 

I would of picked Sancho tbh 3 assists and a goal in his last 3 games

Sorry for the bit of downtime there, should be all good again!

Nw**ku not even on the bench 🙏👍

Drops our most in form winger.

Weakest CB pairing we have.

Expect to see Cucu leave acres of space for Fulham’s RWB to exploit.

Wacko to once again contribute absolutely nothing and Palmer to continue doing everything but score or assist.

3-0 Fulham.

I think we'll win this one. Then we'll be flooded by briefs on Twitter about how everyone at the club is laser focused on the last 5 games, and how the feeling is that this is a turning point in the season; then we'll lose to Everton 1 nil.

Exactly how I feel these days. Just expect absolutely nothing. Watch highlights of other teams and wish for the level of effort those teams consistently show.

Ooh the anticipation - will it be Cucurella or James inverting into midfield?

We can't under any circumstances lose to Fulham.

I’d gamble the pair of them leaving us as open as Bonnie Blue’s chuff!
