Chelsea 3 - Wolves 0

SB since we came up we have never got the basics right and once again MM comes on and says we shot are selfs in the foot this has been happening for 2and a half seasons. When will the guy realise the defence is shocking the midfield is not much better when he plays Ward on the left and puts Elokobi at left back Guedioura must have went right down the pecking order.Saying that Milijas is not much better these so called PL players are not good enough and should be sold in jan and get some players who can play and no more of MMs excuses come on january.

After witnessing my first Live Televised Abortion on Saturday I honestly dont know where we go from here. There isnt enough time or space available to write all that is wrong with this club right now. Forget that it was chelsea we were playing, it could have been Shrewsbury or Grimsby there was no way that abject performance was taking any points away with it. We are nothing less than comical and we have that muppet to thank for all of it. the team selection, the ineptitude in the transfer, the fact that we are, undoubtedly the WORST side in this division.

I was the same as lovesW did'nt watch the second half,went out got mullered.Something has got to happen next Sunday,Bruce or Merlin?whoever loses I think they are finished and Coco can pick his p45 up as well.At the very least bring in another coach/assistant to see if they can help turn it around.

I only hope that, if we do go down, MM does the honourable thing and resigns (though I expect he would be pushed). I also think that he should resign, even if we manage to survive, as he is clearly out of his depth in the PL. Personally, I think he's blown it already. The happy clappers will point to the fact that he has kept us in the top flight for two seasons and therefore is up to the job. I disagree, believing that we lucky in both seasons. In the first one, in effect, we only had to end up higher than one other team and last year we squeaked by with less than three minutes to go. And the team played like a team, occasionally played well and put in a shift. This year has been a shambles, without direction off the pitch and without a clue on it. Alarm bells should have been ringing at the end of last season but, between them, MM and the management buried their heads in the sand and refused to spend the amount needed to ensure our continuing presence in the PL. And they call us numpties? I shouldn't be writing as it hurts my neck - and I don't want to write in this vein- but I have to add my voice to the protest. MM cannot get us out of this mess and the sooner he goes the better or he'll undo all the goodwill I and others feel towards him for getting us into the PL in the first place.

Ever the optimist, lovesW: if you offered me survival now, I would bite your hand off. But how much closer can we get to the drop without going down? By my reckoning it's about 149 seconds.

I personally feel that we have gone backwards, especially in defence. For me the inclusion of Roger Johnson in the team has done nothing but expose the lack of pace and awful positional sense of both centre backs. Whatsmore, any player with decent dribbling skills and a bit of pace running at either one of these two obviously frightens the life out of them. No doubt they are committed but they lack assurance and quality. For me, our wingers are our best assets and we should focus on a counter-attcking system that allows for our forwards to actually be in the box when a cross arrives. Accept the fact that we leak goals aplenty and focus on scoring more than the other team. The Sunderland game is one which we must turn up for, Mrs Tasty has already pressed my lucky pants in preparation. UTW!!

Let us see the whole picture. Up until some time ago, it was the players who were coming under fire. Now it is the manager too. Where exactly lie the causes for the recent poor performances, to say the least ? If the players are up to standard, then the fault will lie with the manager; if they are not, then it will take a master tactician to obtain results with mediocre players - one Otto Rehagel did just that with Greece in '04, but even then, success with such methods, and methods is the word, is no guarantee of worldwide acclaim, in this case, not even of national acclaim, for the DFB would not even consider him as their national coach when they desperately needed one. They wanted football, not the negation of it. A Matt Busby could well tell his wonders: go out and enjoy yourselves; the rest must be as good as the players under their charge are bad. So where do WW stand? I mean this as a sincere question. Judging by the comments to this and previous articles, it would seem they need a general overhaul- players, manager, CEO. Only the Chairman has been spared. And only thus far.

SB sorry computer went all funny ment to say agreed with what you say IT IS MMs fault but he doesnt seem to grasp the seriousness of the problem like i said before its just the same old story we shot are selfs in the foot hes now being saying this for 2 and a half seasons when will he learn some of these players are not good enough and stop making excuses for them.
