It's got everything to do with the system that was set up to play controlling, possession football with no idea what's the end product. We have totally performed a 180 degree U-turn from last season and now the entire team is so nervous and lack any coherence all over the field. Defensively, we are a fucking joke. The pic a few post before shows everything we need to know...all bar one players are in the 18 yard box (in fact camped within 12 yards from goal) and (the only) 4 Chelsea players are in the 6 yard box and left totally unmarked. It's as if we gave them a pocket of space to attack us. In contrast Chelsea's defenders takes no prisoner and stick to their man. Their clearance was decisive and they don't give the forward players any space to manoeuvre. Our play is fucking unreal...look at where Skrtel and Lovren (being 6 yards away from the nearest Chelsea player) is relative to the attacking threat and you'll get the picture. Whoever is our defensive coach need to be whipped and thrown into a hole. School boy stuff on display here...
That picture really is a sickner. 10 v 4 in our area and they make it count. Not one of them are close enough to the Chelsea players. That is ***** poor. Get Carra in to sort this train wreck of a defending out. Warning signs were there last season when we shipping in loads. I know you can blame individuals but our organisation at the back is terrible and that's comes down to the manager
