I have no problem with players being criticised, or even the team being booed for their performances. However, there is a real issue with fans directing hate towards individual players. Jorginho has been poor of late, but its shameful to boo a player for being subbed on by the manager.
The abuse he gets online is unacceptable too - glimpsing on his Instagram account you can see abusive comments on videos of him with his family FFS. Its also not the first time Chelsea players have had abuse directed towards them, the way Bakayoko was scapegoated was also extremely unfair.
Its fair enough if the player's actions have warranted some backlash, but its not okay when a player is just going through bad form.
Rant over...
Jorginho and scapegoats

They were saying blue because he's well on his way to becoming Chelsea legend.

Can’t really blame him for Bournemouth, if anything if not for that block it would hce been 5-0.
But either way he just offers a balance to the team.

This...
I would actually say that the back fours defensive deficiencies is leading to a lot of the criticism of Jorginho. He has been very good in regards to winning the ball back and intercepting passes.
The issue is whenever he is bypassed, the defence falls apart, everybody is out of position, nobody is capable of making the right decisions, it just becomes inevitable that the opposition will create a chance.
Most good teams have a back four which can be relied upon, just ours of late has been incredibly useless.
The United game was a perfect example of this, throughout the game Jorginho was winning the ball back, but the few occasions United found space between the line, they were able to cut us apart.
This is a big contrast to us, as whenever say Hazard found himself a lot of space between the lines, there was always a back four competent to defend against whatever action he would take.
That's not to say he doesn't deserve criticism, I think he's mainly been poor at making decisive passes, its usually been him recycling the ball for 90 minutes, which is if anything a bigger issue than his defensive reliability

Maybe not, did not go so can’t say.
I think it’s at breaking point though atm. Some of the results we’ve had, and the lack of goals, it’s been one of the poorest runs we’ve ever had.
I don’t think the fans would mind had sarri switched it up(not even jorgino) but is the same each week. Strangely enough, other than Europa But Malmo are not exactly Barca
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We shouldn't be at breaking point. These days our fans are not prepared to have poor seasons in order to go through change. It's pathetic tbh..... The short term ism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonsense imo. These players are paid 100,000 grand a week. Some of those fans went city away, malmo away, Utd on a Monday and Malmo on a Thursday. And if we were seeing a change than fair enough.
Not that I agree with the booing of players biggish just don’t think people can sit on their high horse without knowing the ins and outs. Sarri is alarming me with the lack of change and rotation

Tbf I find the fans on here who criticise other fans very bizarre, these are the same fans who stood through Mikel and Torres type players for years and still sung their names. We are usually a very good fan base at getting behind the players, probably attributing to the player power at the club

I think a lot of that good will is being lost in some ways. Our fans were fantastic with supporting Torres through his poor form, but it does seem that a lot of that patience has ran out with this current crop.
Probably, the turning point was Mourinho being sacked tbh.

Hawk maybe. I think it’s the lack of dropping players when they are playing poorly, plus 4-0 Bournemouth, 6-0 City, losing to arsenal, spurs 3-1, we have been absolutely battered. Not just lost games, battered. It’s hard for us to take.

I think this has some truth in it, mourinho was mugged off by the board and it's pathetic running of the club.
We have good players and Conte I think overachieved When we one the league. We won 13 in a row then crawled over the finish line from January to May putting in an awful performance against Arsenal in the FA Cup final.
The thing is, there are actually so many issues that just haven't been fixed for years. Not strengthening a winning team is one of them and the board did that to both Mourinho and then Conte.
I go most weeks to games and have seen some absolutely disgusting football, mainly down to attitude and a complete lack of enthusiasm and motivation.. Sarri? Isn't it your job to gee them up? You said you can't...
So why are supporters backing him!? I mean he's come out and said he can't at least 3 times now and it's been absolutley clear he can't because of the last 3 month's results.
This isn't a dig at people who don't go to the game because I can admit for years I wasn't able to and I'd go to the odd one every now and then but the last 5 year's I've been going week in week out and I can admit that you do see things differently, you notice so much more that MOTD, sky, BT Sport shows you. And that is why I can be so pessimistic on here because this has been coming for months. Even 1 game I can pick out where the fans were getting shltty at one point was the 3-2 Arsenal game, 2-0 up but at half time easily could have been 5-2, they missed THREE unbelievable chances and scored 2 easy chances aswel in ONE half. Luckily we won that 3-2 and people forget...
The hard truth is this has been coming with this group of players and the fans look at the manager because he has the power to change things. Look at Conte. And Sarri is NOT changing things and hasn't.
That is why fans are upset and some do things that other people don't agree with. I don't boo or cuss at the players but I understand why people do it.
