Disappointing week but let's not get too disheartened.
We faced a Man U side that had just sacked a manager so there was bound to be a reaction.
We started poorly and gave Watford some belief but still took 3 points.
Today we got beat, yes it wasn't good enough but don't forget they've taken points off Liverpool and city as well plus they're 4th in the league.
I've seen fans, pundits and the media claiming the "wheels have fallen off", "it's Lampard 2.0", "the magic has gone". all laughable and some fans should be ashamed with their comments.
We've practically had no striker since big Rom got injured. Kante, Kova, Chilwell, Reece, Mount, Jorgi, Pulisic, Werner, Kai, Trevor and Ziyech have all been out for periods of time so far. Some still missing! I think we've coped well with it thus far.
We're bang in the mix at the top. Next 5 games are all winnable and others have tougher games. Let's see where we're at come New Year before we start bitching ay!
{Ed0666's Note - no striker since Lakaku got injured what the heck is Werner then a Goalkeeper???

Well said Dan, we are in good shape.

We are the mix for sure dan but when a team like Chelsea have a few average-poor performances there will always be criticism. It’s the same for all the top teams.
The performance was overtaken today by individual mistakes.
Certainly Mendy was poor and the Jorginho pass wasn’t good. The defending for there second was bang average.
We go again and as let’s just judge the situation after Christmas.
We are still in every competition. Year we have injuries but every team gets them and our squad should be good enough to cope.
COME on MY MiIGHTY BLUES.

The other thing is, and it pains me to say this, West Ham are a decent team. We were our own worst enemies today, but they're capable of beating anyone.

True J, WHU are a decent team but being ahead twice and losing is hard to swallow.

Come off it Ed. He’s been injured for most of the same time as big Rom, not to mention his obvious struggles.
{Ed0666's Note - He’s still a striker and he has been available in parts while Laka was out.

Well lukaku and Werner were both injured sane game, v Malmo, werner has been back and started but a club like Chelsea should have options somewhere amongst ranks to field a striker if they really need too, snd I’ve seen werner make goal like clearances goalkeepers would be oriud if, and yes he was trying to score but that’s not the point.

The injuries is the problem.
