The only positives I see in this game is it's clearly not a penalty (wtf is VAR doing, we will get the classic Howard Webb apology in a month or so) and whitout Disasi it's 0-0...Also, Jorgensen showed he is miles better with the ball at his feet than Sanchez, I'd love the switch to be made permanent.

With form, disasi is a good CB.

Honestly I think that Mareca said it too many times that we are not good enough to be at the top, and when you say something enough times, it can become reality. I know he wants to take of the pressure of the players, but it can backfire and they can take it too easy and think that they are not good enough. Also Palmer looks so uncomfortable in the CAM position. But just my opinion. I think it would be so much better playing him sometimes at RW and Felix/Nkunku CAM...

[@benchinny-ev3xe]

He only looks uncomfortable when Enzo is pushing up into the right space moving him to the left

[@positive-football-fan]

@@benchinny-ev3xe That is true. If you remember, when Maresca started playing him in the CAM position, it was more of a RAM position, almost next to Noni (RW). He played very well and combined with Noni, or cut inside and score. I hope this gets better :)

This loss was needed. 1. Disasi needs to be sold. 2. Jorgensen shows why he’s not the #1 despite the inconsistency by Sanchez. 3. Nkunku is a CAM not striker. 4. Buildup play was too slow and SLOPPY. 6. Enzo plays on the left of caisedo, not right and vice versa. 7. Sancho/neto on the left while madueke on the right. 8. Jackson needs to snap out of holiday mode. 9. Mareska needs to stick to the winning formula. This is the PREM. Any team can beat ANY team.

Maybe Sancho, but defo not a striker, unless you change the formation. I do like the idea of playing Nkunku in his natural position in front of Palmer and Fernandez but below a striker, but that’s not what happened. Saw the Disiasi mistake at RB on the team sheet. Honestly, with what we have at RB right now if Reece is fit I’m starting him. Don’t care if he comes out every game with his hamstrings falling off his legs. If he can’t play then he can’t play… In the end I hope Maresca learns from this and we sell some players this January. Up the chels 🔵

We need to be honest and discuss the fact that felix and nkunku can never play if palmer is playing. Despite all those weirdos that keep begging for them to play, they just dont fit. Please don't get me started on the defence. Tosin offers nothing in my opinion. If someone runs at him all he does is back off and allow them to get a shooting angle. Everyone talking about how bad disasi is, but Tosin is terrible.

[@ramanujshastry1]

If we take the last five years, any thing between 66-71 points in 38 matches is enough to secure top four. We sit on 35 points and 4th place after 19 games. Last year, on 31st Dec we were on 25 points and in 10th place. What’s not to love? This is a young team led by an inexperienced manager. Will they make mistakes ? Of course. Will there be missteps? Most certainly. But when it all clicks and they win with style, does it warm the cockles of my heart? Fuck-yeah-it does. I had hoped for 35 points by mid season to be on course for a Champions league spot. They have delivered. I’m delighted. Also we are done with December… our bogey month historically. Thank heavens !

Sooo, cole palmer can play like absolute dog shit, poor passes, horrendous crosses and corners. Can't dribble through traffic. Not fast.

Noni clearly wears concrete boots. And yes, disasi was terrible as usual. We've scored one goal in the last three games. One goal. Three games.

Consistency at the back no leadership anywhere

[@EthisEther]

Yan is crazy the whole back 4 hasn’t been bad , Tosin handled Delap very well . Maybe he done atleast two bad passes trying to break the lines but he wasn’t bad , he also wasnt amazing ofcors . Enzo had no creative influence which is his job so that was disappointing. Felix wasn’t good he lost the ball a lot and would just sit on the ground and not try get the ball back , I have no idea what Yans criteria of good performance is . Felix added nothing to our attack expect for that one passage of play . Felix is tall but can’t even jump at the right time and head a ball towards goal , it’s like the ball always just hits his head . Cole Palmer look ineffective , his decision making is starting to worsen by each game . He did have two opportunities where he hit the crossbar but we need a better performance from him , there are passes he doesn’t make which other world class players make and that for me was disappointing. Maduekes confidence has gone down , he should ride the bench now , he tries to shoot in impossible situations which is frustrating . Nkunku doesn’t fit in this system , if you not playing him as a 10 don’t put him on , get him gone this January window if there’s money coming in for him . Disasi we all know is crap . Cucu did make some good defensive moves but added nothing to attack kept passing back instead of trying to put in a cross . None of our attacking players were good let’s be honest and stop having such low expectations , none of the boys done enough to be seen as good . Palmer only had two moments , otherwise he lost the ball a couple of times also by just shooting it at a player standing right infront of him instead of looking for another option . The Chelsea’s attackers performance was way too flat to call any players performance good let’s be realistic here and not just fans , our players would be static and not make any runs when Enzo has the ball or Caicedo , they would just stand within the Ipswich defense asking for the ball where there’s barely space and not making any runs and Enzo and Caicedo kept receiving the ball in space and passing back without actually looking forward to see the amount of space they have to turn into . It was a poor performance . Attack is all about creativity and relentless attacking trying to create chances which our attack didn’t do so I don’t understand how you can just point out the back line when attack kept losing the ball and the defense bailed us out a couple times cause we should’ve gotten slapped up atleast 4:0 .

[@nightops9526]

Does Yan know football? Yes, our attack was dog shit last night.

[@hnaku8748]

Bad loss. I thought we rotated too much which hampered the system, Nkunku-Felix-Palmer trio just didn't work together. With Felix playing as 10, Cucurella was acting as our left winger, which limited our creativity from there, Nkunku we already know is not a striker. Nkunku moved into Felix role after the latter was taken off, and that didn't work as well, so we had to bring on Sancho to get back to the normal system. What a total waste of rotation. We still need to put things into context. First goal was never a pen, the final xG was Ipswich (1.55) 2-0 (2.22) Chelsea, with around 0.7-0.8 being for the penalty. So the numbers weren't the worst. Even with the loss we're still 4th so it still could be worse. But we do urgently need to stop this rot. We cannot let this drag on.

It’s Maresca’s fault for playing Nkunku out of position 🤷🏽‍♀️ and it’s a mistake he makes repeatedly. Play the man in his position or let him go

Disaster is an absolute nightmare of a defender... In the sense I go to sleep haunted by how appalling he is... We really do need to reflect on some of these terrible signings and identify who is making these abysmal decisions, because they equally share the blame and need to go packing their bags. This squad is too reliant on Palmer and Caicedo, those two are head and shoulders above the rest. Fernandez has been improving again as of late and Lavia is also class. Only those 4 are concrete starters. The rest are honestly such a waste of money. We have spent so poorly for the last 4 years. It's time to get some players who are experienced, have the quality, mindset and clinical ability. Our wingers lack creativity, our Striker lacks killer instinct to bag goals. Our Left back is a fraud and overhyped because of his euros campaign. Reece James is always injured. Gusto has gone off the boil. Fofana is always injured. Rob Sanchez is not good enough and makes poor mistakes. There is so much wrong and has been paved over by a good period Maresca magically conjured. But now it's back to reality. We need to start being patient again and see that we all got married to the idea of a pipe dream over the last 3 months.

Good on Ipswich, they gave everything and took their chances.

[@ezrajellahrs3865]

I'm happy that we lost back to back, I think the boys got a bit ahead of themselves, but we can learn from this, to just stick to the basics and focus on our next game, and not thinking about winning the league...we need to sell Reece James, so we can get a solid striker, and top flight keeper, and then we can talk about going for the league

Chelsea have been figured out. Low block defence is their kryptonite weakness. They get paid millions of pounds for having a job most of us can only dream about, so let them figure out how to crack low block defences.

[@ameryandreleerivears7791]

The Coach is to blame he change the goal keeper the midfield and the striker such a bad decision he got it so wrong your team is as good as your leader 👆🏾🤡

[@davarjos]

Chelsea got mugged tonight

[@eliaspablo8097]

We made them look like prime Barcelona 😒

[@Olly_22]

Y was Felix subbed off so early and Nkuku sucks at the 9

[@bluenation1254]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have been found out. Everyone get back to defend, crowd the middle of the park,double up on both wings,get aggressive and bully,dispossess the ball,counter attack and run like hell for 90 mins..thats the only way you can beat them. So you will see every so called small club is going play like this against us. As for Desasi please sell him to west ham since they want him or just give them for free. He aint worth it.. Bloody hell😡

One point from 3 games, a bit of a disaster. However, it could be foreseen, with Everton, at present they just park the bus in just about all their games. Fulham, well this is probably the best Fulham side I have ever seen, with results to prove, if too many draws. Ipswich have amazing team spirit, but to lose to them does show we are nowhere near ready yet.
