Worst Squad in Years

"first season i remember supporting chelsea we were like 14th or something!"

---------------------------------------------------------------

Second season i started supporting Chelsea we got relegated! And i still have the shirt - gotta love those diamonds.........though this was back in the day with no sponsors

"Yes worse then last year Sturridge's right foot, as last year, we actually managed to finish 2nd/"

So Mata and Sturridge in and Zhirkov out is going backwards?

It's not the worst squad however the balance is not there . We got players like Mata, Romeou and Sturridge playing with the likes of Lampard and Cole.

Exactly!
And AVB knew that was going to be the problem when he arrived. His system will see the back of Drogba, Anelka, Alex, Terry, Cole, Kalou, Malouda, Essien and Lampard but he couldnt change them all in one go.
It would have been fatal.

The worst squad we've had in the noughties Give me a break

Our squad is in transition - so we need to stay patient. Looking at the squads in all the top teams - we are just about where we belong right now. You can hardly blame AVB for the ageing squad. He is going to have to move the older players out while bringing in younger and faster players - and that will take time. At the same time he has to qualify for the CL for next year - so it is no easy task. You can't just throw all the existing players away and bring in 11 new players. But it is true that the current squad is not as good as it was a couple of years ago - Terry, Lampard and Drogba were the backbone of the team, and they now are all slower than they were. It's hard to replace that kind of ability overnight.

I want our transition to go faster!, is that too much to ask?

You want fast (as in Porto ) thats transPORTation.
As for TranSITion, well that requires patience as the "SIT" will suggest.

Yes I agree with OP.
