tell ya what, this page must depress the eds when we lose. yea am not happy we got beat but c'mon was u expecting to steam roll everyone? we have basically a new squad who are still getting to know each other's game plus we had 7 first team players out injured/ suspended.
cheer up lads its our first defeat including Europe and pre season one defeat and koeman is inept and the board need to go?
GROW UP.

we had played to many games in too short a time yesterday and the overall strategy from koeman was wrong. he should have played a back 4 forcing chelsea to play thru us rather than around us clearly he learned nothing from last season. nothing to worry about still have good players and this loss will prompt the board to get there finger out. sad tho that we didn't make a fight of it, hopefully the team will raise there game next time. if we had coleman, bolasie, and mccarthy fit this kind of tired performance wouldn't happen. coyb get that striker over the line and its all good.

Fully expected to lose yesterday. We played away to an 11 of top class international players, most of which played in the same system together last season when they won the league. They also did not travel to Croatia on Thursday night. We will not win every game. Surely the goal is progress. The squad had progressed from last season. If we can pick up a no 9 before Thursday, a good season lies ahead. Chin up boys.

Think RK was forced into playing a back 5 yesterday - whether he would have done without all injuries who knows. But if you playing that then surely Cuco a better option at RB because you need full backs to push forward - and that is not Masons game.
Hopefully 2/ 3 signings this week + replace any outs, get Gylfi a bit more match practice and we can look to turn over Spurs. That game definitely winnable.

Hi all, let's not hit the panic button just yet but I have to admit Burnley played far better 1st game of the season getting all 3 points than us (tiredness and injuries apart) . If either of Martinez teams had played at the Bridge as badly as Koeman last x2 the lynch mob would have been out in full force FACT. We are so slow and our midfield new boys epitomises that fact. Our 1st purchase had to be a FAST striker or a Target man and instead we have purchased x3 players that imo best positions are NO 10.? What's going on? If the TW closes with this squad there is NO way we will finish 7th. The Barkley debarcle is also class. Poor lad hasn't said a thing, just rejected the offer on the table but we have then said . he has to this date (date passes) and not a dickie bird said. I'm sorry but I give credit where it's due and don't wear blue rose tinted glasses all the time something needs to happen here folks!
