Might be against the grain but I don't think that was too bad a performance. Again we made chances and just weren't particularly clinical with them. 

 

And bear in mind it was away to a team who I think will be challenging the top 4 this season. 

 

Areas to improve for sure but we desperately need to strengthen in January. 

No way are Chelsea a top 4 side

Another game where if we could finish it might have been different. Unbelievably frustrating.

Yup. Actually watching the games and we're improving overall, albeit today was a backwards step. Inability to finish and some stupid individual errors have cost us at least 4 points in the last 2 games.

One of the most worrying performances I’ve seen from us under EH. We’re going to lose games throughout the season but losing them like that - players not showing for each other, no intensity, no composure, no creativity, constantly giving the ball away, no communication, that pathetic high defensive line and nothing remotely new - is starting to look like there are bigger problems than just form

It's literally Mitchell's job man [emoji38]

 

 

 

 

 

No it's not, he's not employed to appoint coaches around Eddie. If he is, i don't think that system will work.

 

And also noted, the collective disregard of Eddie's previous work is apparent. We have to trust him, aye we're going through a rough patch but i'm certain we'll come out of it.

 

And today's game, i don't think we were too bad, defensively it needs addressing, but overall i thought we played OK, against a £2 billion pound cheat code team.

People will get on Isak, but I wouldn't pass to Longstaff there either after seeing Longstaff's other contributions.

 

Tend to agree with CF that it wasn't too bad an away performance. Something to cheer about for the goal, and some good play in places.

 

Too many avoidable mistakes, which feels like a more permanent feature of this side now, having been this way for so long.

 

Time waits for no man. Probably time to blow it up this summer.

We actually played alright in the end and could have easily drawn this and with a bit more luck even maybe cheekily got three points.

 

I watch games like this and all I can think of is how much better we'd be with just anything half decent going down our right side to give us more of a balanced threat, so we can ask more questions of teams.

 

Too bad. We just haven't been good enough with our recruitment.

Trying to take a step away, we’ve over achieved so far and FFP has us tied up in knots. Our squad isn’t deep enough and we have players in our best 11 who really shouldn’t be there.

 

It’s hard to accept but there we are.

We need someone to play in the massive gap we have between midfield and defence. The amount of times our fullbacks run into dead ends and lose the ball is hugely frustrating, it's like we fear the middle of the pitch.

Again, could have had a point if Isak had squared it or shot, or his header goes in but all in all another poor performance.

 

Something needs to change as this is not getting any better by the looks of it.

Howe has had a couple of years to solve that problem and hasn’t. That’s more concerning than today’s performance.

We played alright cos Chelsea and the crowd got anxious. 

 

So fucking sick of limp dick performances at Stamford Bridge. They begged us to come at us and still we couldn't force the issue. Identical to the two games there last season. 

 

Incredibly frustrating.

They'll finish top 4 for the same reason they did last season. They've just got too many good players compared to the rest.

didn't believe we'd score at any point in that second half. 

 

Isak dinked cross? Or Isak around the keeper? Or the header James had to put over his own bar?

 

I don't know. Don't fundamentally disagree with you that it feels very unpolished. Just trying to get what joy I can from it all [emoji38] In my heart I don't really believe in this regime being the one to breakthrough
