re: Chelsea 2015/2016 Season Long Thread

I've prob been more down on this squad than anyone and even I didn't see this coming, what a disaster. Now I know what every Bundesliga team feels like every year. It sucks just as bad as I imagined. Only hope is a desparation move for Europe f me

Double post don't care

My point was what it feels like to be out of the title race before the first International break, but shite right now we would make Luton or Shrewsbury look like Bayern.

We have faced three of the top 4 in the current table. We have had some bad breaks here and there, and the loss to Man City away wasn't a shock. It is a long season, let's see how it plays out.

Possibly. But Swansea simply got a draw so they would still be there. Ditto City. Palace...not so much yet they have still played well all season.

On one of their goals, Hazard ort the man go unmarkerd on the far post. It was a moment of extreme laziness that gave them a goal and cost them a draw. Something similar happened two years ago. Mo threw him under the bus in the press last time. This time, I would expect him to throw him under the bus in the film room. As for Magic, he has been in poor form. It seems his work rate has slowed to a crawl. Ditto Cesc. We had not won the middle in a match yet this season and it really falls on their shoulders. I still say we aren't far away from making a run. We have played like shite and City has been flawless. Still, we are only 8 points back with a ton of season left. ity will drop points. We just need to hit a long winning streak. We need to start that run soon though.

"Only 8 points back". 8 points after 4 matches is pretty significant. The bigger problem is there don't seem to be any answers. Yea we can say Kenedy, RLC, and Baba in but who knows if any of those guys are even close to being ready.

What I do know is that they couldn't be worse than Ivan and Matic right now.

Yea I'd be willing to try pretty much anything at this point and Jose seems to be at that point as well. Hopefully him bringing them on will serve notice to the "stars" like you said.

I also just cringe at the fact when we need a goal it's Falcao that we have to go to.

Piazon on loan to Reading.

Boga on season long loan Rennes.

West Ham trying to lock down Victor Moses for season long loan. If he performs well, I would expect us to include a buyout clause at the end of the loan. Even after a solid summer, he can't crack the 1st team.

Not bad.

I watched an expose on how poor Hazard has been defensively. In short, his unwillingness to track has pulled Magic and Cesc out of.position quite a bit. He has also exposed Dave to more on his side which has forced the center backs to look left and leave the middle.or.the right exposed. Hazard can be amazing going forward, but his defense is.pathetic. BTW, every time they showed him being lazy (not even making it into our our defensive half.on a SLOW buildup by our.opponent), the other team scored. You can pretty much lay four goals.for.the opponent directly on him (plus Terry's red imo). He has got to start working! We are out of sorts defending with only ten players.
