I always try to see positives in defeats...

One of the all-time lows and I've seen a lot in the past decades.

Tuchel winning the Champions League is up there right?

Chelsea seem to have taken advice from Man Utd on recruitment as its been just as bad as us. Signed some shockers on contracts that makes it difficult to flog. Just a bunch of mercenaries with attitude problems and zero fight.

What's the general feeling amongst Chelsea fans about your form? Are you against the players, Poch, Boehly or all of them?

Post Boehly no one has managed to correct what's been going on. Not Potter, not Lampard, not Poch so surely that means that the problem lies elsewhere? I keep seeing raging Chelsea fans desperate to get Poch out on Twitter but, speaking as a Spurs fan, calling for his head seems like a really stupid thing to do given how good he can be when given time.

Your form has definitely improved of late, despite the Arsenal game, and most of the issues seem to stem from missed chances and stupidity/lack of concentration at the back, two things hard for a manager to correct. I think you have a squad packed with limited players with seemingly bad attitudes. I wondered why Madueke slipped through our net as a youth player but when you take into account his behaviour for Palmer's penalty, it's little wonder he didn't rise through the youth ranks with us. You lack quality at the back and all over the defence but more importantly, you lack leadership and that's hard to manufacture. I don't think Poch should be blamed for any of that stuff. He can only work with what he's given. It's an almost impossible job until the recruitment issue gets sorted.

Although saying all that, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that when we come to the bridge next week, we'll somehow come up against a prime 2009 Barcelona. Happens every feckin time, however much in a hole you are.

* not "at the back", meant up front.

Fridge we're actually a really good team...except at both ends of the pitch where it matters

General conscious seems to be split between Poch out at all costs, and ambivalence towards Poch but an appreciation that the owners have balls this up beyond recognition. I'm in the latter camp.

Game against you next week is massive though. Fans are angry & pounding Spurs (no offence) is the last thing we have left that identifies us with the Chelsea we've known for decades. Lose that game & things are gunna turn toxic rapidly.

Honestly, I really wouldn't worry about that game. The script for that is already written. You WILL win. You always do. Usually you're pretty good against teams that play expansive football (aside from last night) and you'll get so many chances against us you'll easily score 2/3 goals. I'll be amazed if we even come away with a draw to tell the truth.

Sounds like there's confusion at the heart of it because on paper, you have a decent side. It's just not clicking and you don't really have a dominant leader controlling things out there.

I think we're all against the war in Ukraine but I guess Chelsea fans maybe that little bit more.

My heart agrees & in general I do think we're set up to beat Spurs at the moment, I called it when it was the unpopular opinion earlier this season, but there's a lot of pressure on that game. If it doesn't go according the plan there's a strong possibility the crowd's gunna turn.

There's a lot of shattered frustration. I think the only people associated with Chelsea who aren't the vessel for someone's anger right now are Palmer & Petrovic

So what you are saying is you aren’t a good team at all

Not a Chelsea fan but I do feel bad for Poch. This Chelsea team simply quit playing after the second Arsenal goal!
