I'm not saying it's not at least partly down to the coaching team but most of those players are past their peak and on the "natural downward trajectory". I would also argue that AC and Rudiger are generally not good enough. Jorginho is undoubtedly a very gifted player but I would argue he's almost a "bespoke" player suited to a very specific type of game (and not ours...if indeed we have a style of play).

I think the fact we haven't already had a sacking announcement shows one (or both) of two things: 1) the club is utterly determined to shed its reputation as a "sacking club" (which I believe); and/or 2) there are very few high quality managerial options available or willing to come to Chelsea.

I suppose this is the other way of looking at it.

I think at a club like Chelsea there is always someone lined up!

Sad to say it but I also think he's finished. I think Roman is determined to have a long term appointment so it will be interesting but I think he could be gone in the AM.

Which is really odd because he looked unbelievable at the start of the season.

In truth I had some other words but I didn't want to reignite the recent debate on censorship!!!!!

Yeah I totally agree with this. I was baffled last game.

Really woeful. I have no other words.

I think you can in a confidence dip. I can't begin to imagine what that level of pressure is like when you're in a new country, at a new club and in a serious goal drought as a number 9 whose main job is to put the ball in the back of the net. I still reckon he'll come good.

Bridge and Redknapp agree with you that Rudiger was great. Maybe I was wrong...it has happened before.

I thought Mount was superb. I get why people are so down on this and it wasn't a good performance but Fulham are much improved and lots have struggled against them recently. For me it's a big 3 points.

Yeah I agree. Especially as it's his "sort" of chance.

Werner has missed some sitters this season but tbf I wouldn't call that one a sitter.

Werner appears to be suffering from the Sutton/Shevchenko/Torres/Kezman syndrome.
