Awful, if we don't score first or early we look absolutely clueless. I don't want to go at Lampard cause it'll look to many as overreacting but he has been soo poor this season with his in game management as well as his line ups. Some players obviously aren't good enough either and i fully expect to be out of the top 4 by January, we desperately need a couple of attackers to stand any chance of getting top 4 this season.
If it means overpaying for a couple of players then do it, it's not like we don't have the money. That's now 4 losses out of 5 with three coming against teams that are struggling and two being at home, it's unacceptable.

tbh I think we massively over achieved the first couple of months of the season. our squad have some unbelievable talent but we are no where near what we use to be. Lampard is still learning and some decisions have been poor but he has also transformed a lot of elements of our game that I haven't seen since Joses first stint.

Lamps and Jodie get paid to find and work on solutions. Let’s hope they manage to do it soon.

Having said that i didn't go into this season with high expectations and with this squad for me we are overachieving to an extent. I didn't predict we'd get top 4, many people didn't. I knew it'd be a rollercoaster season but it's still very disappointing to see performances like today.

JCFC i agree, we have a lot of bright young talent that'll need a season or two. It's just unfortunate they're having to be our bright spark in our team rather than them just adding a little extra.
Our experienced forwards aren't good enough and relying on our youth players to create and score our goals isn't a good thing so early on in their careers especially for a club like Chelsea.
As for Lamps i'll have to accept it's only his 2nd season in management and he's still learning so mistakes will happen. I just hope he learns from them quickly.

absolutely. we don't have a perfect blend of youth and experience yet. we have unbelievable youth but aging and underperforming experienced players. the next 2 windows will be extremely telling in where we want to be as a club. we have, imo probably one world class payer and about 3/ 4 potential. how many do liverpool and city have? says it all.

I go into every season saying and believing we can and will win the Premiership and that pre-season hope that I think the majority of fans have will never leave me.
I’m not happy with the latest results or the way we have played over the last few games and I repeat the international break came at a bad time for us.
This season is a season of transition, let’s just try and remain realistic and positive.

What were people thinking was going to happen this season?
I think Lampard and the squad are victims of Chelsea playing beyond themselves and other teams, such as Spurs and United, having below par seasons. This left us in a position that doesn't accurately reflect where we are as a club and built up inrealistic expectations within parts of the fan base.
