Grief, I dunno wot some of the people on here are whinging about...

Typical shyte performance after the disruptive international break, especially from Gallagher...

Game with loads of chances we failed to take (again)... and a game against 10 men we should have won easily.

And we would have won it but for 1 mistake by the goalie and the fact that we're obviously lacking confidence in front of goal.

What I don't get is, following that, why are the moron's on here out calling for Todds head again?

Is there some kind of underground mini Chinese/Russian fan base at Chelsea trying to undermine our American owners master plan?

ps. No doubt that pr@t G Crooks will be out again to tell us we would have won it - if his hero Raheem had started!

I do think Sterling would have been a far better sub than madueke with mudryck moved to the 10, where he should have started.

Burnley merited at least their point for me.

Was not a pen on Mudryk, really awful call.

well it evened out the nailed on pen we should have had when disasi goal was ruled out, for the blatant shirt pull on disasi, which was overlooked by all

For such a big guy, Badiashile is very soft. His reaction times are also really bad.

For 90% of the time he looks so stiff and wooden to me. To be honest I never did understand the appeal and I'm still struggling to see it. Had a brief period where he looked half decent but that's a distant memory now.

I don’t see much progress since Potter. Some players have improved as the season has progressed, but from a really low level. Some like Badashiele and Disasi, are just not good enough and have actually gone backwards. I don’t know how much is because the players are just not up to it, and how much is down to the manager failing in his responsibilities. Both probably. Either way, I can’t see Poch being given another season and I can’t see any decent manager willing to work under a Board that doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing and wants to keep it that way. It’s a disaster really.

Reading between the lines from yesterday's press conference de Zerbi seems to be positioning himself to be the next one. Won't commit to Brighton. The press are trying to make it a possible Liverpool thing now but surely they wouldn't go for a guy that has no real CV to speak of and appears to have now been tumbled by other clubs.

Average manager, superficially successful for brief periods. De Zerbi or Thomas Frank. Got Chelsea stamped all over it.

I'd love to hear from anyone who still thinks we shouldn't play Silva.  We have bugger all composure at the back without him.

Missed him yesterday... perhaps he should teach some of the younger players, like that pillock Sterling, how to head the ball in the goal before he goes.

 
Ahh I remember the days when matches lacked such Jeopardy, the question was would we win by 1 or more. Now day's the only certainty is I will shout profanities at the TV, then look back at the kids and tell them its acceptable and they could never understand (they haven’t taken to caring about sport to much, and there only interest in Chelsea winning is their farther remaining in a relatively decent mood) I digress... 

It is out right impossible to have an opinion about this team and how poch as a manager is performing. When all players are fit and firing, That whole defense doesn't start, (although Gusto is an excellent find)  We have zero cover in center mid because everyone is broken. Chukwameka looks like he might have something about him but breaks down after every goal. Lavia never been seen, and so on and so forth. 

What in my opinion is clear, Is a number of players aren’t going to make the grade, Noni to call out one, but he's not alone. It feels like we used to have players who couldn’t rise to the level of the squad, Sidwell, Geremi, Boula, some did better then others but ultimately never came close to locking down a firm place in the team. Now we have a team who can't reach the level of a few. Of the group that took the pitch yesterday. Petrovich, Palmer, Jackson, Gusto, Conner are the only players that I can say have really delivered for us this season. The rest range between i can see what they could be and please please just leave. But these are the players who seem to have that all most important quality, not being made from glass.   

I feel better now..

Instead the genius poch moved Palmer to 10, where he hasn't played well at all, yet Mudryk who has played well at 10 didn't get that chance. Poch is an idiot.

Yeah, I'm sick to death of Poch. Never rated him, wanted him to succeed but by now it's absolutely clear he's way past his sell by date. 

Even his biggest apologists on here have gone silent, which tells you everything.

I think he wanted Madueke on as he offers a late goal prospect yet only sees him on the right side so either withdraw Palmer (not likely) or move him to the centre. 

Though could also have take off Jackson I guess and had Palmer as a late false 9.

Not really mate, just cant be bothered posting and saying the same Sh*t every other game. I skip out the poch out brigade as its usually the same words arranged differently in every single post, they should probably get some ADHD or obsessive compulsion illness checked out.

not expected anything different from our squad. Just going to get to end of season and probably not give a hoot to be honest with you. It's a team that will need another season playing together, potentially one after that. Ive also said before this side, regardless of the manager need to grow up and take responsibility for results. Bar Palmer and a few others, the rest need to take a long hard look at themselves and buck their ideas up. They need to start delivering results consistently. 

Was thinking that we're dropping all this money on future potential but the model theyre using is a permanent growth model. X,Y,Z players will be worth 10/15 million more in five years time etc... Im struggling to think of a youngster bought in the Roman era that went on to huge success. Hazard probably... Do remember Di Santo for example was 16 million at the time. A wigan favourite from what I remember. Very few clubs have got away with the approach we're trying. I dont think the manager is the problem. I said very early on this season, Clearlake out. Nothing has made me change that position. But ive also not spent the season shouting and getting angry at people for the decisions they've made for players or manager. It's just making do with what we have. A talented group of players who show potential and a manager who hasn't yet got them all singing from the same sheet. 

 
We sent a billion to regress down to 11th place 2 seasons in a row

We are closer to the bottom than the top

Give your average fifa player a billion to spend and you'll easily get top 4-6 minimum

Wow

 
Extended highlights of the point that takes us to the magic 40 mark:



No highlight of Sterling header miss though. Guess it was not worth showing.

 




100% correct for me, really appalling call and cowardice from the VAR not to help the ref and tell him he was wrong.

Slowing down a player by impeding him when the ball is away from both players is clear obstruction. I’m not sure what the fuss about that pen was. 
Click to expand...
Agreed, not many players could have got to that ball but Mudryk is one of them. Ref and VAR got it right. 

 
Zeta said:
Cos he didn't imped him, a hand on the shoulder is not a foul. He didn't pull him. It was a craszy decision and you'd be furious if it was the other way

Yeah, more like elbow on Mudryk’s neck. 😂
 

I actually applaud the ref because he clearly took the time to analyze this situation and realized Mudryk’s speed to get around the player was impeded. 

 
If memory serves me correctly Burnley was Pochettinho's 40th game in charge and we have managed 9 clean sheets in that time. That speaks for itself.
