You are all correct everyone is entitled to their opinion of course. however I'm in no bubble at the beginning of the season someone would say with a ban only young players frank as manager who is very inexperienced we would be near or in top 4vat Christmas I'm sure like u all we would take that.
Matt I've been here a long time and prob longer than you your comments are very negative you praise once or twice yet as soon as a bad run or result you call for managers head. stick. to fifa mate
Shake. what can I say keep trying pal I'm sure you will get it right one day.

Keep trying but the problem is at this rate we will fall off the pace and lose any hope of top 4 football. May be we need some players in january to reinforce our team.

Ok, I understand Shak, but what is to be reasonably expected from a team with a transfer ban who lost their best player of about 7 years.
Frank probably overachieved in the first 3 months and is now just regressing to the mean. I’m sure it will be, in the end a successful season. We just have to remember what our expectations were at the beginning of the season.

I just can't accept the recent defeats to the opposition teams who have been in the relegation zone. Regardless of the situation, I expect wins against them at home.

i guess we always expect to beat lesser teams at home an when we drop so many points at the bridge its frustrating of course regardless if how many young players we have etc were so spoiled with the trophies wev won the last 15 years wev come to expect so much me included. i said start if season 6th or 7th potentially and we are still in 4th and last 16 cl. do i think we can stay 4th potentially depends if lamps can add 1 or 2 in january that can help with much needed quality up front to open up teams that park the bus at the bridge. kepa tomori rudi all can improve i beleive an keep saying although patience with kepa is low at d minute but all in all its been a joy to see the club reward talent from our youth system an turn abraham mount tomori etc into 40 or 50 mill players. an we hope reece james will continue to improve an eventually take azpis spot. cho who knows how hel turn out at this rate he's certainly not showing us why he deserved 100k a week.

Call for the managers head? I didn’t want Sarri sacked when our football was predictable and repetitive, I certainly don’t want frank gone, but I will say it as it is, so I’ll ask you then, opinion on willian today? The whole world knew Southampton were going to defend and try and catch us in the break. And did you think frank got it right tactically. Maybe Alonso / James wingback, jorginho picked himself as kovecic suspended, I praised willian and Lampard for the spurs result and today I think my opinion was pretty accurate, I didn’t actually think anyone done very well today, everything I’ve seen on line and pundits is franks the right man but his got a lot to learn, but when I say it as a fan I’m negative, give me a break, we’ve lost to West Ham Everton Bournemouth Southampton al when they were in bottom 4/ 5 and struggling for form, we’ve gone there expecting them to open up and let us score a few,

I've noticed quite a few regulars posters have changed their tone due to today's diabolical defeat and look it's good to be annoyed/ angry because it goes to show you care about the team and how they perform.
Frank should be annoyed/ angry after today's loss. In my opinion he got the formation and lineup wrong, I mean we had 7 defensively minded players on the pitch vs Southampton at home? Also the players should be dissappointed because they performed well below par today and did not execute any team orders today regardless.
There is nothing wrong in dishing out constructive criticism, nobody is perfect and we all live and learn every day. Frank will learn from this we hope and he needs to show that to the fans by addressing this alarming dip in form.
Nobody is calling for Frank's head. This is all a learning curve for him, he has shown inexperience in multiple occasions recently which is hurting Chelsea and he needs to learn from some of these mistakes. let's not fool ourselves, should this form continue then I'm sure Chelsea will act on it pretty quick and pile more pressure on him regardless of what we think as it is a results based game. For now we need to avoid a defeat at Arsenal and stop this rot from continuing. Confidence in the camp must be really low right now.
It's easy to say that we are 4th and in the next round of the champions league. Yes that spells success for the short term, however, the dip in form is massively alarming. We were so far ahead of our riavls, however we are now looking over our shoulders constantly. The worrying part is that our form is pretty bad and our rivals have had pretty healthy results of late so if I was to have a guess then I'd say we will slip down pretty quick unless we somehow can drag ourselves out from this predicament.
