After getting rid of Frank Lampard I assumed Chelsea would change style and up the tempo but after watching the last few games they still just pass side to side then backwards, maybe put a cross in now and then but other than that as an attacking force they seem so lacklustre.

Is it lack of passion, work rate or have the fans bought the hype on a lot of average players?

Of course Tuchel needs at least till next weekend before they get a new ringmaster at the circus.

The thing most wrong with Chelsea is Jorginho getting hit in the face by a ball at about 2mph and going down like he's just took a shot from Mike Tyson. Absolutely pathetic, get a grip you wet flannel.

I get that fully(he is a joke and a liability) , but if he had squared up to matey after getting the ball kicked in his face then the fella would have got booked, but his actions stopped the ref giving a booking I'd say and that's wrong.

your transfer activity has been poor for the last couple of years. Lukaku and Saul were disasters, Cucurella is decent but no better than Chilwell, Koulibaly looks lost, and the rest of the signings are far from ready. And now you’re gonna pay silly money for a young defender who hasn’t even played a full prem season.

Havertz, Mount and Mendy are sorely underperforming and some of the stalwarts like Kante, Azpi and Silva are just long in the tooth now.

Persinally, I think Boehly has come in and is trying to get too involved in a sport he knows sod all about.

I doubt the recent upheaval has done them any favours either. The club seems in a strange kind of limbo atm.

I don't just wonder about the signings but the manager also, he has no plan B, he seems to not see when players are dead on their feet, he refuses to play a proper striker, let alone give one a chance.

He also plays the most boring football I've seen in my 35ish years of watching Chelsea.

They have been far better about it this season to be fair. They don't punish it but they do let games run far far more than they used to. The big issue is still consistency however.

Players act up and try to get opposition players booked because it works. If it stopped working they would stop doing it. Watching Sterling last night he won so many fouls from the old "feel contact" and jump in the air trick. When you watch it in slow motion its embarrassing to see the slightest of shirt pulls and suddenly the feet come up and down he goes. He kept getting those free kicks though so...

For me it's more infuriating when players have been fouled but don't get anything because they didn't go down, it breeds diving.
