All football fans are entitled to their opinions but the wild, emotional reactions are in some cases bordering on bizarre.

It was always going to be work in progress!

TomB you are spot on mate and this is the reason why most don't post much anymore. The page is so toxic and it is the same 4 or 5 posters time and again. I don't mind reading balanced arguments, both positive and negative but 1 or 2 only come on when we have had a bad result, they never ever post anything positive only negativity.

It's a a joke listening to some of the negativity. Pathetic fan base, how in God's world could you call for Sarri to be sacked. Football isn't about winning the title every year, this year was always going to be difficult. Give the manager some time to get his own team together.

I don't even think we played poorly? We dominated the game up until they scored then we lost our heads. We had enough chances to score but it's obvious we lack quality upfront. It's shocking to see how many people are already turning on Sarri, of course there are things i'd like for him to do differently but i fully support him. It's up to the board to help him right now, he needs better players up top, especially at the ST position. We can dominate games all we like but we only have Hazard who's really capable of scoring in that starting 11. Back him and we'll see improvements. Why we're crumbling once we concede is very worrying though, we seem to lose all footballing ability and our composure goes out the window. Hopefully it's sorted out since our defence isn't strong enough to rely on clean sheets every game.

Yeah I think this is the last time I check or post on the page for a while. The toxicity is incredible from some mostly Darren wood.

{Ed001's Note - to be honest, there is a problem with football fans in general. One defeat is enough for some fans to want to rip everything up and start again. Others will think one win is enough to tell them that everything is perfect. It is fine so long as there is a balance to them of those who think differently plus some calmer heads in the middle.}

Always been a supporter of the TomB, Jackson and G8 posts. Positivity all the way for me. Come on lads let's get this site back to how it was! I used to pretend I was "in the know" because for Ed002 wonderful (never EVER wrong) ) info! Why one earth anyone would post comments to drive them away is beyond me! Eds please post this because we all know how great this site is and we all love Chelsea (Ed002 included) so let's get along . Thank you!

Once again I'm attacked for pointing out the deficiencies in Sarri's system - but no one on here has the bottle to enter into a debate - all you lot do is bleat 'Buy another striker, Buy another striker' or 'Sell Willian' - And for the record, I have been critical of Sarri over many weeks, even during the unbeaten run. Why? Because I could see that it was all built of straw and there was a fire a'coming.

the reaction on this page yesterday was embarrassing evrry1 callin for sarris head and sell 60 percent of our squad its not fiffa.

MDW, I don’t what the content of any post as long it’s got a constructive element.

Every poster knowi didn’t want Sarri to be our manager for several reasons but he is so I now support him.

23 Dec 2018 16:46:56
i think sarri is doing a really good job with what he has at his disposal and i hope he gets backed an the board signs players sarri wants not pkayers the board want i hate the board and advisors signing players its bull pardon the french . managers should be the only fellas having a say on whos signed not some idiot sitting in an office.

Kovecic isn't a goal threat, will never be a goal threat, hazard is useful 9 but we missed him wide, Pedro offered nothing but Willian again getting in the team is a mystery, I said it before season started kovecic Kante Jorginho offer no goals, it's becoming a problem as much as relying solely on hazard.

22 Dec 2018 16:51:59
It better to have Kovavic then RLC who did absolute zero!

He had his chance today and did nothing, terrible terrible result.

22 Dec 2018 17:25:45
RLC had his chance today? What, 20 minutes when we're chasing the game? Leave it out.

22 Dec 2018 18:21:05
30 mins and what has he done? In those 30 mins.

22 Dec 2018 18:37:47
Miss daren wood, and you said where we are chasing the game. He actually should be good at those situations as it required less defensive duties (which isn't his strongest ability) as we are pushing forward.

He was bad, really really bad today.

22 Dec 2018 14:01:41
Alonso and Willian again 😩 surely Emerson and Loftus-Cheek need to start.

22 Dec 2018 15:53:38
Agreed, Willian is going to end up like Malouda in most of our memories if he keeps up like this had a good season or two. Some good goals and cameos but at the end would just be remembered as really frustrating more often than not.
