Rammy MOM and only played 17 minutes. Quality player. Willian the same. So many plastics wanting this new player and that new player and slating some of the players we have like the above and Mikel etc. Real Chelsea fans get behind the team, players, coaches et al all the time. Plastics support us now and someone else tomorrow. Get behind the team and REMEMBER this post probably doesn't apply to you but if it does think about it. Chelsea with passion and forever.

I find it weird how we're playing so poorly. We don't even need new players. The qualities are there they're just not finding it.

Jkb just because some fans are not on and can honestly critique our team does not make them "plastic" fans. We have been dreadful this season and played pretty badly the whole of 2015. If you can't see that you may be a Chelsea fan but you are not a observant one. Just because some fans have the ability to see the bigger picture and not be blinkered it does not make them "plastic fans"!

JKB: Spearce96 is spot on. If you are a true supporter you will have an opinion, win, lose or draw, that is what supporters do. To blindly say 'I support them come what may' is actually being 'plastic', no thought, no opinion or observations. Even you cannot possibly think we are playing well and as Spearce96 said, with hand on heart we have not played that well all through 2015. Yesterday's first half WE looked like the team in serious trouble not Newcastle and we were saved by two players many criticise and do not score often. Something is not working and we all trust Mourinho to figure out what it is.

Seeing the 'bigger picture' and 'not being blinkered' is one thing, constantly slating players who the manager and club trust is something else. The amount of times I see posts slating current players and wanting a new here and a new one there beggars belief. As do the comments which imply our manager doesn't know what he is doing! As I said in my original post though REMEMBER this probably doesn't apply to you?

JKB: That is why it's a banter page. All supporters know better and we all chip in with what we think is wrong, how it could be better and who we need or do not need. If we wrote in each match and said "bad result but I'm right behind them" it would be boring. Not a single subscriber has ever influenced Mourinho but has an opinion on what he 'could' be doing wrong or who is letting him down; me I find Ramires a waste of space, Remy leaves me cold, no patience anymore with Fabregas and Costa infuriates me but the next guy probably loves all of them but dislikes others and it is interesting to read. I agree for every decent comment there is half a dozen mind numbing ones.

Frensham: You put forward a good and intelligent reply and I agree that a 'Banter page' is the forum for just that, banter. What I don't like is when posters come on here disrespecting our players who give their best for the club. The abuse Mikel, Rammy and to a lesser extent Willian is wrong. I can think of only one player in our history who has genuinely not cared a toss and taken the money and that was Winston Bogarde years ago. If an argument is put forward for a player being replaced and sound reasons given that is interesting reading but to put things like (example) 'Mikel needs to go now', Ramiries is a waste of space etc etc is tiresome particuarly when they are giving everything they can.

JCFC: That was a discussion. The way we are playing I really do not want to think of Porto who are likely to be somewhat better than Newcastle. If anyone has the 'Blues' at the moment it is us!
