He started Sissoko in a midfield two.

He has Alli playing on the left with Son leaving us completely open in the centre of the park in front of our midfield two, both of who are limited in possession.

He took off the only DM in the side leaving us an unbalanced mess in the second half.

I could probably come to that conclusion too if they hadn’t have been so crap so far. Just more disgusted with 10 of the 11 on the pitch putting fuck all for effort in.

even set up nicely the players would still have let us down. Second to every ball. Bad first touch. Horrible passing. An overall lack of passion in meaningful derby

There was to much cockiness from fans on this match, never thought it would be as easy as a lot of you did, and it seems the players had the same attitude..
Frank has absolutely outplayed Jose today with his tactics - they would have wanted to beat him as much as he would have wanted to beat them, but they were far superior to us.
We need some signings and badly but I expect nothing as the problem firmly sits upstairs in this football club! most expensive team to watch in the PL - just remember that if you disagree.

Convinced there’s a section of this fanbase that was happy consistently losing w Poch at the helm just because it was Poch, because they just can’t wait to stick the knife into Jose
It's still early days with Mourinho but with all of the history, it's clear the warning signs are there. The games against United, Wolves and now Chelsea all played out very similar. If we really needed to cut ties with Poch we (imo) should have continued the path with a positive, forward-thinking and innovative coach.

I can't understand why the player can never bring themselves to perform at the highest level in such a penultimate game against one of the top top teams. They can never win anything ever. The mentality is sooooo weak. They have been thoroughly broken in Poch era without refreshing the team.

Thoroughly broken. At least half the team needs to be let go.

Poch was begging Levy to clear some of these players and invest. Levy didn’t back Pochettino and went for the cheap option, a desperate Mourinho

I've lost count of the times I've witnessed our players taking 4/5 touches when 1 or 2 will do.

Why is is it so difficult for our players to pop the ball around and create angles and overloads? It's basic stuff ffs.

Eriksen’s on fire:

Hits the 1st man - hat-trick
Completes a successful tackle, yes an actual tackle
Passes the ball straight to the opposition

It's not going to stop any time soon. There is an influx of non-westerners


Let's wait and see before passing judgement. It may be a lone drunk idiot, it may be a fan from elsewhere in the world who doesn't normally attend games or it could be a season ticket holder. Let's wait and see what actually happened and who it was.

There is an influx of non westerners.

Is that your way of saying not white?

And we won the last one remember. Away to wolves!! Fuck me and your still not happy.

Losing to Chelsea 2-0 at home and I'm not happy. Why is that a surprise?

I've always also not been result oriented (years of playing poker). If a team is playing poorly but getting results then my view is sooner or later the results will turn bad. Likewise a team playing well and not getting results? The tide will turn.
