We have lost one game against an excellent team which scored 4 against Arsenal, and we lost 2 points due to awful ref and people start moaning like we have the identical season as previous one.

Please, stop it and show some faith when it comes to Chelsea. The season is long, so show some patience.

Very good point, if we beat Arsenal next weekend it will all be forgotten anyway. I don't think losing 2-1 to Liverpool is as much as a disaster as it is being made out to be. We were off our game and they started well, it happens sometimes.

The reaction you describe as lack of patience was justified. The team that was beaten by Liverpool had all signs of last years. People have the right to let steam off after a terrible performance. So reserve commenting on fellow fans emotions to yourself.

Antibot: We ground out results against poor teams, struggled in the league cup, should not have needed any referee in the game against Swansea and looked absolutely clueless against a so, so team in Liverpool, what's not to moan about?

There is something about Hazard that really annoys me. When there is no option just bloody do it youeself! When I see him wait to give the ball to Azpi or Matic I pull my hair out in despair.

These banter pages are supported by Chelsea fans who have a wide and varied idea of what's good for the club and naturally the club do not pay any attention; however they MUST see most of what we do. If you asked 100 of us for our opinion you would get multiple differing thoughts but the underlying answer would point to dramatic change needed. Surely people must see that over the last eighteen months to two years Chelsea FC seems to have completely lost its way. We won the title comfortably but not convincingly, certainly the second half of the season was very average and it was clear we needed to upgrade for the next campaign. Our buys during pre-season were dreadful, borne out by who they were, how they performed and where they are now and of course we had a dreadful season especially as defending champions. As we came into this season having won the youth cup four times out of five years and the European equivalent in 2015 and 2016 we do not apparently have a single, serious contender for the first team and in the transfer window, in my opinion, buy two players out of desperation (Alonso and Luiz) for ridiculous money, added to last year and we are wasting money, not adding any value to the squad with the purchases and do not seem to have a coherent transfer policy. This season has already highlighted the issues we complained about last year; half the team are not good enough yet we recycle Ivanovic, and Co week in and week out and have a £30m+ player warming the bench. There will be those that disagree with my opinion of Alonso and Luiz but I guarantee not one person had them on their 'must buy' radar and I am worried that we have another harrowing season ahead with the players at our disposal.

Well guys let's talk about the elephant in the room.
Conte vs mourinho vs guardiola vs klopp
The first two people are supposedly very vocal and have guts to take hard decisions. Let's take a look at reality.
Chelsea has ivanovic, Cahill who are past their best and contribute next to nothing. People who talk about Terry remember with him at least our organisation doesn't let us down. Also Willian is at best an average player who can be a good sub. I am not wanting to talk about Oscars. These players don't have the ability to play in the system that conte plays which is a high tempo game. At the same time we have players like Chalobah, ruben, Aina, bats who has the quality to be contributors to the system conte plays. Now conte so far has shown no evidence of acting against the elephants in the room.
mou failed doing the same. Still he is doing it at man u. Looking at today's match he is clearly lacking guts to do what he should have done at Chelsea.
Both people knows the players at both clubs do not suit the way they play but are lacking guts to do it.
Take a look at guardiola. He moved city's biggest fan favourite. Nothing personal. It's business. Hart does not play the way he likes his keeper to play. Toure for all his talent is another elephant in the room. Many a time it brings disaster if not acted at the earliest to remove these obstacles. It's about playing with players who suits your way of play. Ancelotti understood this and played mceachran who would have been a star player had ancelotti stayed on. But he had to go thanks to another elephant named torres.
Klopp did the same thing with balo and better. They can't play his high press style.
So folks take your pick. 2 men did what needs to be done and are getting results. 2 men are still thinking and not acting. And we all can see what's that doing to the respective teams results. Come may they will learn it in a very hard way if they don't act now to take care of the elephant (s) .

Conte needs at least one season to sort this team out. Just like Klopp at Liverpool, and they are still inconsistent.

Bobby you're absolutely right about that.

Bobby i agree with you mate. But what i am trying to say is that Conte needs to act now to drop non-performers. The 1 year time is to set right the squad by playing chalobah, ruben, aina etc. if he doesn't give them a chance now, he surely won't be giving them chances next year when the pressure is even higher.

Hope he acts before its too long.

I agree with the points raised but we have to be patient. it takes time to come into a club and change things around. he needs time to figure out who isn't going to cut it and then who is. our first 10 games are bringing us up against teams with different levels. fast players and players who play hard etc so after those 10 games I think conte will have the correct players in their correct playing positions and we will look like the team we know we should be.
