Why does he keep starting Alonso and a non goal-scoring midfield?
Too much pressure being put on Hazard.

Emerson not even on the bench - either injured or totally unwanted. I think he's worth a go.

Said it before, I would be off to Spain if I were Hazard. We're a long way from what we were and he doesn't have years to gamble on us getting back on track.

Because he’s shit? A fraud? A clueless? Out of his depth?

Have to say with all that possession, bit like arsenal a few years back. Would like to be more direct.

For me as a man of Spanish extraction it’s just giving me flashbacks. In 2008 when we first heard the expression tiki-Taka it was a very exciting team, had two direct quick forwards in Villa and Torres (I know) then Del Bosque took over and it took him a few years to develop that into this possession is absolutely everything malarkey and it’s been crap ever since. 1000 passes in a game you lose without having a decent shot on goal. Chelsea just seem to me to be going that way. I think as soon as the bloody false number nine appears you know that is a manager scrabbling around in desperation.

The problem is we don't have many goal scorers. His Napoli team scored lots of goals and we know he wanted a new striker in the summer.

Need to give him a decent shot in transfer market, its not like we were great last year and we haven't really brought anyone in.

I'd bring Tammy back in Jan, can't be any worse than what we have and gives us another option.

I do think we should be more direct and we seem to be morphing into Wengers Arsenal rather than a Spanish great.

That said - we had 2 golden chances yesterday and missed them.

I want to see what Sarri can do in at very least 2 transfer markets. I think he has inherited a few duds.

Willian getting a tonne of shit thrown in his direction but he's better than Moses.

If he throws in CHO he's got nothing to lose. If CHO is good enough, he'll do the business.

1) Will he change his philosophy (EG false 9 / Kante out of position) to try and keep 4th place? (I think no he won't, he'll stick with his philosophy.)

2) Will the board buy him the players he wants (like they did Jorginho) to suit his philosophy? (History tells us no.)

Arsenal have decent forwards. United will push on. Happy Christmas :-)

I’d rip your arm off for a 4th place finish right now.

Thinking back to last season, we knew this was coming didn’t we.
