I don't accept that level though because they are better than this. This team is hamstrung by the tactics. I'm sure somebody will come and say it's individual errors that are costing us, but it's individual errors that come from Maresca's tactics. If we played at any decent kind of tempo, both red cards and defeats in these last 2 games would have been avoided. It's his tactics, they are dogsh*t. A top manager makes so much more out of this squad.

I dont think we are, the keeper is terrible, we have a pair of 19 year old centre backs on the pitch. Chalobah is starting week in week out, and he wouldnt even start for Everton or Palace.

No manager is saving this, especially in where these sporting directors shop for managers.

When you put a team of kids out, expect inconsistency. Individually they might have skills but collectively they lack the experience to smell danger. Even on top in the first half gaps were evident, misplaced passes in bad areas. This is what we’ve bought into, no captain figure on the field and a coach who can only play one way.

This is the new Chelsea, get used to it, accept it. We are a development/ feeder club now looking to make profits for the owners. The culture is set from the top. It’s not about winning leagues now or having an experienced squad with depth who is capable of competing. But giving time to youngsters, improving them, adding value and selling. The owners are happy with this model and need a puppet manager who will go along with this. They have their man in Maresca.

Wtf happened ? Just got back home 1-3 ??. Was the red card warranted? I mean, do we get a pass for this result because of the red or what ?

f**k me Palace just scored . 2-1 Waiting for it to be ruled out

Maresca - "we have 3 games at home, the fans need to give us everything"

No, you need to f**k off.

Spot on. 1 point if we're lucky and this only if Benfica don't travel well.

The worrying thing is, I genuinely Don't know how bad this fking idiot has to be before they pull the trigger.

He isn’t going anywhere

I think his job security lies in how well he does in Europe. Doubt they will keep him there if he puts our first champions league appearance in years at risk. This board is very profit driven and a lot of money will be lost if we get knocked out of the champions league earlier.

I'm off for the week-end, really fed up with all the individual mistakes week-in, week-out. Game was going towards a routine win and Brighton did not even get a sniff at the goal up until Santos decided to receive and play the ball at the pace of a drunk, fat Sunday League player. Embarrassing really.

Waiting for the injuries excuse .. This team is not good enough.. it’s an embarrassment to the crest.. we had Jarrel Hato and Acheampong in defence.. chalk an as first choice.. sod off after 1.5B in spend and then a coach who takes out or only offensive player.. invites pressure on 19/20 year olds.. no excuse .

I thought Sarri was bad, this guy is arrogance personified.

Has no respect for the fans whatsoever. Never felt so disconnected from a coach than this one.

He's had a pretty good game though (bar the goal).

He’s not though.

His passing reminds me a lot of Gerrard, he’ll pull off these horrible long passes to like Neto who barely struggles to control it, then gets dispossessed. But OF COURSE, the stats show it was a successful pass, and contributed to the attack. It’s all bullsh*t.

Stat-padding a tap-in, or penalty will of course increase his stock, not mentioning ‘passionate’ celebrations. 🤦‍♂️

The golf is more exciting than this shower of sh*te…..even the players walking slowly up the fairways is more interesting than this team and manager. I said he needed to go last season and despite the unexpected windfall of that stupid World club cup plastic trophy my mind hasn’t changed. He’s clueless as Potter and one dimensional as Amorin. A mid table manager at best.

At least Liverpool got a taste of their own medicine. Just saw Slot gesture a finger to the 4th official after Nketiah scores in the 7th minute winner of 6 minutes added time

Spot on. And apparently their equaliser should have been ruled out for a handball

Chalobah was starting for Palace though. The defence isn't great, I will give you that, but that doesn't mean we have to play like this. It's inexcusable. The players we had on the pitch today are more than capable of putting this game to bed in that first half, but because of Maresca's tactics, it didn't happen. Brighton, just like United, just like Brentford, they didn't play well, our own mistakes which have been part of our game since the day Maresca took charge, means these teams will always have a chance. We could play the worst team in the league and they would still have a chance because Maresca's football cannot work in English football.

Definite red. Maresca masterclass.

Slow stagnant football. leads to mistakes. lose a player. subs all wrong.

I hear a certain Graham Potter is looking for work again 😏bring him home

Speaks volumes about these fking owners as well.

Potter serial loser. Pochettino, a spud that apparently is in the process of bombing for the States. Now this moron that we've been lumbered with.
