That ball has to be dealt with. There's hesitancy all through our back line. |
I'd look more at the midfield. A simple throw took them out of the equation. The amount of times Britton and especially Shelvey left our back 4 exposed was shocking.
We can talk about plucky defensive performances, poor refereeing decisions etc, but there weren't a lot of positives out there. And the least said about Monk's choice of bench and use of subs the better. |  |

It's very unfair to be critical of any of our players after such a magnificent effort in adversity.
Chelsea were powerful, quick, skillful and organised. They have everything a side could want, a world class striker apart.
They are once again contenders to win the Championsip and Champions league for a reason. So, to lose by a single goal after playing for most of the game with only 10 men, when the game plan was immediately ripped to shreds, only a fool could be too critical. |  |

Britton gave the ball away almost as much as Vorm did.
I still suspect that we'll survive, but it'll be as a result of the failings of others rather than on our own merits. |  |

Why did he wait until 86 minutes to bring on JDG? Is he still carrying a knock? |  |

Oh we'll survive, of that I don't doubt. There's little honour to be taken with it though. | |

Radical rethinking needed in the summer. Certain people need the limits of their power explained and reinforced. Others need a kick up the arse or a P45. | |

Doesn't make sense, particularly given how abject Shelvey was.
I know there aren't many Canas fans but I'm not sure why he wasn't in the squad today. Most possible scenarios called for a defensive midfielder to come on so for us not to have the option was poor. We were being battered for the first 20 mins of the second half and it was sheer good luck we weren't swept away ... Monk simply failed to adjust to Mourinho's tactical changes.
No idea what he's doing with the strikers. Presume it was Ngog's turn today. An utterly pointless substitution which took away any hope we had. | |

I hope we do, simply as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to grow the club. Hopefully a brush with failure will make a few people look long and hard at themselves | |

Relegation has its upsides too. Whatever happens, there needs to be a sitdown at the end of the season and look back at what has been a thoroughly shambolic campaign, both on and off the pitch. | |

When is the AGM? Will the ST ask some searching questions?
I know this probably isn't the best time to ask such questions, but rather than ranting on message boards we do need to put forward some constructive questions about player recruitment for example. Or why a board member felt the need to brag about signing a championship standard centre forward.
Football people deal with the football side, business people need to deal with the football side. Or we are in big f*cking trouble as a club | |

Think that's one of the big questions ... are the right people running things, both on the football and business sides of the house. The non-footballing side gets criticised, and rightly so, all too frequently but we're looking rudderless on the footballing side too these days. Agree we need clear vision of where we want to head.
If you've got any suggestions then write them up and give them to the ST. They'll get reviewed and passed on at least. | |

The supporter director won't ask searching questions. On past form he's more likely to defend the club. | |

Any idea when the next trust London do is? I'll show my face as I'll probably be saying the same things as most other punters.
The timing of what I'm writing isn't great I know but we have to ask tough but fair questions. The work the board has put in is nothing short of phenomenal, but as Doc Winston said "the day we stop asking questions is the day we become like other clubs" | |

My biggest concern about Shelvey is that Brendan thought he couldn't work with him, and we've all seen how much of a job Brendan has done in transforming players like Henderson and Sterling.
He's got potential but f*ck me he's got more issues than SuBo. JDG should have replaced him around the 70 min mark.
And Ngog...
Why did we bomb Luke Warm?????? | |

Questions need to be asked. I raised this point a while ago. Our club has turned into a farce and the people at the helm have become untouchable. This is not a club run by fans for the fans anymore, the massive director salaries on top of the dividends prove this. |  |
