So what nonsense is Dean going to come out with afterwards?
This is bad as anything Lambert, TSM or Bruce served up.
Awful, awful, awful.
I agree, it's absolutely dismal stuff. No cohesion, no passing, no identifiable tactics. We were getting pissed all over with this 4-3-3 before lockdown, and we're getting done again. Unacceptable from Smith.
That’s Smith’s main problem, he’s not learning at all. It’s like tunnel vision.
This is a barely competent Championship side.

God knows. I can't recall any ref's decision he can blame.
Utterly shit players and a clueless management team clearly are not making for a winning combination
Really mad that the management team weren't fired when the football was suspended at least.
How does a free kick for us lead to a corner for them within 5 seconds?
My annoyance at how the commentator pronounces Kante has risen since we went behind.
This is a barely competent Championship side.
Does this team deserve to be in this division?
It's amazing that we managed to spend well over a hundred million to buy precisely zero players that frighten the opposition. Sure I saw the Chelsea full back light a cigarette when he saw Trezeguet was coming on.
The reality is that £100m wassn't enough. Spending three times that is what is needed to stay up and then hope FFP won't fuck you.
Also having a manager that doesn't insist on one up front constantly, backed up by a weak midfield that offers no cover to a poor defence.
100m would've been enough if we'd signed some experience. Those players don't all cost 50m. Really don't understand why we basically ruled out any season loan either, I bet Purslow is regretting those comments now especially given we signed three loan players in January.
Smith is unfortunately a very shit manager.
Chelsea know they don't need to break sweat.
The points are in the bag.
While the scoreline isn't massively surprising the 'performance' has been very disappointing.
Our free kick leads directly to a Chelsea corner.

It would be interesting to see, after watching this, who could defend Smith and actually want him as manager. It's not like this performance is a one off,.either.
We don't have anyone to motivate or inspire. Garbage.

Take grealish out of the picture and there’s not much between us and the last team that took us down.
