If you think we can hold out for a 5-0 defeat, sign here..........

 

[deipnosophist]

A watershed game this...heads will roll.

 

[davek]

Utter shambles from start to finish.

Mirror Chelsea's starting line up and bring that clown shoes Jagielka back...and drop Robles for the other clown.

 

[Boss_Blue]

This'll do Davies' confidence a world of good, stick him on with 10 bottlers when all the away fans have gone home, terrrble management.

Or bring him on when there is no pressure and no expectation from the fans as we are already dead and buried.

Go make a nice cup of tea . Tea always makes things better

 

[navidson]

The only way this result will be acceptable is if Chelsea beat the rs to the title on goal difference by 5 goals

It's that attitude that guarantees we'll never win another pot in my lifetime

 

[Flynnthistle]

The squad has improved with additions from RK yet the team still look awful.
6 of the last 7 results and most of the previous 2 seasons backs this up. Think we can agree there is a lot to be done.

We'll be lucky to finish above martinez last two league positions with this playing style and the tactics thus far deployed under koeman. I know it's early into his tenure but it's looking horrifically bad. Worse than anything Bobby served up. With the exception of the last couple of months when the players got him the bullet

Funny Mori has been worse.

 

[blue61]

At least we'll be first on match of the day.

 

[tlefc]

Yeah you'd just love that wouldn't you. He's going nowhere after one bad game, deal with it.

One bad game?

We've been dreadful since Middlesbrough.

 

[Huyton Layne]

We vastly overrate our squad

I didn't think we'd beat them but i thought we'd a least show up. I think we're top 10 on paper but on the field today we're like lower league fodder in a cup game

 

[Lowste]

Who will be today's scapegoat

I will go with Cleverley

 

[Joey66]

Our first team squad. Laughable really.

Goalkeepers
Robles - bottom half quality - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Stekelenburg - mid-table quality - SELL/GIVE AWAY

Defenders
Baines - unfortunately finished - SELL
Williams - good but only for this and probably next season, and not top 4/5 quality
Jagielka - a liability nowadays - SELL
Oviedo - bottom half quality - SELL
Coleman - has lost his way massively and showing no real signs of improvement
Funes Mori - a liability - SELL
Holgate - very promising and unfairly shunted from the team

Midfielders
Gibson - waste of space and money - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Barkley - one influential game in five, not good enough
Mirallas - has gone backwards big time - SELL
Lennon - should play more, but still not very good - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Cleverley - waste of space and money - SELL
McCarthy - rubbish - SELL
Gueye - brilliant player
Barry - still very good but his last season with us surely
Besic - waste of space and money - SELL
Davies - not been given a chance

Forwards
Deulofeu - does nothing, might potentially still come good
Koné - waste of space and money - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Lukaku - fantastic player, deserves so much more from us
Bolasie - one influential game in five, like Ross - SELL
Valencia - waste of space and money - SELL/GIVE AWAY
Calvert-Lewin - no idea

You can,t sell a season loan player Koeman sack?

 

[Nil Satis Niasse Optimum]

A watershed game this...heads will roll.

They won't though.

Because we have nobody better than those useless gets out there.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Don't think he'd have made much of a difference. Game was over when we put in a keeper who can't make a save.

I have supported stek and bar burnley away he's barely put a foot wrong. However tonight we've seen a performance that he is capable of in recent years. RK is accountable for this having two number 2s goalkeepers at the club, while joe hart was available on loan.
