FA Cup: Chelsea (A) Match-Thread

[Simonb]

Hamza didn't look over his shoulder once for the first goal. 

 

We're just woeful

Our defence look like they’ve dropped anchor 

It’s been dropped since January to be honest 

[foxfanazer]

Pathetic. Hate what we've become

Those consigning ourselves to relegation next season because we're losing to a team who are man for man better than us are ****ing hilarious 

I think the point is nearly all prem teams have decent pacey strikers with better goals to minutes ratios than those of the majority of champ teams, how many times this season has other sides poor finishing been noted and we have been fortunate to get points 

[Vazman]

It's all very predictable from now on, Chelsea very, very, comfortable, with our none productive forward play, and slow disjointed defence

We're a shambles at the back and have no idea as an attacking force

 

Very worrying

The manager continues to pick Faes and Daka…..

[JonesLCFC]

Pathetic. Should be 4-0 down to the worst Chelsea team in years. 0 faith in a lot of these players to get us over the line in the Championship. Especially Faes, Daka and Fatawu. All of whom are BRAIN DEAD.

Gonna need practically a new team if we go up

I am beginning to doubt if we do go up. Have no stomach for the play-offs so have to be 1 or 2 in the league. Not bad today but toothless up front. Mavididi is terrible today and Daka couldnt score in a kids game.

[filbertway]

Proper Rodgers performance that. 

 

Caused them no problems in their final 3rd and left them huge gaps to attack.

 

Personal highlight was us winning the ball back and instead of running into 20 yards of space to the edge of their box, we opted to pass back twice and ended up with Vesty having to hold off Jackson under pressure.

[Corky]

Any defence we put out would struggle. Was all about us creating some chances that we have failed to do.

 

Tried to be open because sitting back would bring the same. Need Cannon and Yunus on.

both goals have come from his side tbf

First goal was because Fatawu lost the ball and then failed to track back…

Doyle’s been awful

Totally expected. But he's been hi g out to dry.

 

What a dreadful decision to play no pace at the back

 

 

[RonnieTodger]

Sterling has been our best defender

Just so people are aware this is a poor poor Chelsea side so let's say even by a huge miracle we do get promoted we would need to sell atleast 7 of the starting 11 to even attempt to fight off relegation.

 

If our build up play wasn't so slow we would of probably had a goal this half.

 

Our problem is wanting to walk the ball in the net

They are having a poor season but they have a billion pound squad and have recently drawn with Man City and beaten Newcastle and narrowly lost to Liverpool they are not some rubbish team stop making out like we are losing to Sheffield united 

[ARM1968]

A dose of reality. Chelsea are a mid table Prem team at the moment, but are a yard or more quicker than us. We get destroyed in the Prem without huge investment in players and we won’t have the money. 
 

Second half could be embarrassing. 

[coolhandfox]

Not once did Hamza check his shoulder.

 

Sunday league.

[Cropwellfox]

Leeds gave them a really good game, we look like we are miles and miles off them, could easily be 4-0 down. Anyone who isn’t worried now about the rest of this season should be. 

[Guest J-FOX]

Choudary is awful.

Out of position.

No awareness.

Slow.

Drunk driver.

and somehow we consider this as CAPTAIN MATERIAL !

We've played nice stuff at times, midfield 3 look comfortable enough at this level.

 

The back 4 is horrific, and we should be 4 down.

 

Naive football really, I admire that we are sticking to our principles but other than our midfield 3, we are nowhere near their level

We can do the nice stuff well but we are terrible at winning battles and doing the nasty stuff.

[wardyfox86]

We are pathetic out of possession, brainless tactics.

 

Coupled with the fact we are allergic to shooting, makes it too easy.

[Hammo]

Maresca either isn’t bothered that Chelsea are slicing repeatedly through an unprotected slowcoach defence… or he is hopelessly out of his depth.

Mate, we’re in the championship they’re in the premier league……. 

[RowlattsFox]

Our press has been good a lot of time and we press like that in a league game we would be fine. But Chelsea only have to get through it once or twice and we are woefully exposed. 

[squidsworth]

Let's face it that was shite, cut through us like mustard and we offered little on the attack. The only hope is it's following my fc24 game the other day. We score around 65 and go on to win 3-2

Next season will be a horror show, let's not pretend otherwise.
