Lets not call it a crisis

Let's call a spade a spade, we finish that game yesterday with 11 men, we probably win by 2 or 3... We were missing Hazard, Pedro, Moses and Bakayoko all of whom will be regular starters when fit and available.

Yes our bench was weak yesterday but when everyone is fit and available we will have a strong 11 with players like Christensen, Rudiger, Fabregas, Willian and Batshuayi on the bench, Yes additions are needed and I'm sure we will sign at least 2, Probably Oxlade Chamberlain & Drinkwater.

Our biggest issue right now is our discipline, we've had 4 red cards in our last 3 games and its probably cost us the FA Cup and Community Shield.

Courtouis was poor yesterday and should have saved the first goal scored by Vokes yesterday.

Courtois probably should've saved the first goal but it was a well taken finish from Vokes and very accurate right in the corner.

I thought Cahills was a yellow when I saw it first, but the more I see it I think a red was right.

He wasn't in control, it was a reckless lunge and his full foot planted into the players shin. If he 'was' in control, then it's even worse if he meant it.

Last season you were lucky with injuries or lack off, now you see when you have a few and immediately are in trouble against a lower side.

Plus add to that Champions League matches

Will be a long and frustrating season for Chelsea, bookmark

was not in trouble due to injuries, was in trouble due to poor decisions in the game, from our players and the ref

My point is for Chelsea fans not to think the situation is as dire as the media would have it seem, We need to read between the lines slightly.
---------------------------------------------------
Of course. The media have been looking for a crisis since we lost the Cup Final in May. It's what they do. Sadly a crazy game yesterday where we were down to nine men has given them more ammo.

I'm actually fairly confident now. Morata looked really good yesterday and we can't have players sent off every game. We'll definitely sign a couple more players before deadline day so things are looking up as far as I'm concerned.

^^ this
we almost pulled it off with 9 players (not many teams, if any, can do that in this league)

there were even worse tackles than this in that game and they didn't warrant even a yellow card

If man utd lost 3-2 at home to Burnley would your opinion on their chances of winning anything change

posted on 13/8/17

I dont think they'll win the league regardless so my opinion wouldn't change, no.

posted on 13/8/17

I dont think we'll win the league either, Nothing to do with squad depth just no team has won it back to back since Utd in 2009 but that doesn't mean we are in crisis... As long as we challenge for the title I'll be a happy bunny.
