If we wanted to have a go we would see a different team, we had a go just before half time and it was almost like the players forgot their instructions and then realised.
Tonight’s performance hasn’t come from the players, this is the team following instructions

Every game should be like a cup final, surely. Saving players? Rotating? We'll do nothing in the cups so it's 38 big league games. Got to go for it more. I thought we could cause them real problems tonight, so disappointed.

Get ball, run forward a couple of yards, get confronted by a Chelsea player, turn inside and pass the ball sideways or backwards. Repeat whenever we have possession. Hardly threatening.

I agree it’s frustrating to watch. I do think Wagner has pretty much given up against the top 6. I don’t think the team has the confidence to try to play our way against them.
Not trying to be overly critical but if you don’t try to get forward the best you can get is a draw.
I don’t think we have much to lose by being more aggressive in these games.

It's looking like Champions League qualification is going to be beyond us this season.

He’s right though. It feels a little bit like we’ve sold our soul

Some spineless buggers on here. Chelsea are very fluid tonight. We struggle against that anyway, but when there's a 3 goal buffer for teams like Chelsea they start to play like it's an exhibition. Competing with the likes of Chelsea is difficult. We probably caught Man Utd cold but they were always going to be one-offs... Let's not get ahead of ourselves. As people have said these games are a free hit & being on the back of these defeats & lifting the players for the next game is where DW will earn his corn... All's well folks... I appreciate what your saying but it just feels as though the way have set up has made us lambs to the slaughter tonight. We are a decent side at home - this should have been a tough test for Chelsea. It’s probably been their easiest game this season. We haven’t really had a go tonight and it just feels like a shame

Perhaps it might be an idea for the club to let fans know beforehand when we are not going to bother. Then the followers could avoid a miserable night in the cold.

I'm confused at how people are being called spineless for wanting to have a go at teams? I'd rather get battered trying to play our game than battered parking the bus. We'll often make individual errors that will cost us either way because, man for man, we're lacking in Premier League quality (fitness, togetherness, spirit is where we can really compete).
We've played Man City three times in the last year and done it without fear. Got a draw (against a team that was still pretty damned strong) and went ahead in both the other games. Just try to play like that a bit more, I'll be fucking proud in defeat and you never know, we might get the odd win or draw.
Bit worried that the Spurs game has had a 'Lee Clark vs Millwall' effect on Wagner, shaken his confidence in the way he likes to go about things and now he's out of his comfort zone a little bit tactically.

Why does smith always seem to turn back? He often has time to look up and make a pass but still turns back. .Loewe is the same. Not impressed with the full backs tonight.

Doesn't matter, who wants to go and watch games like this. I don't go to watch Chelsea, but to watch Town play football. Sitting back like we've been doing, no thanks Wagner.

Not impressed with the full backs tonight. our midfield seems to miss any kind of criticism. Mooy has been poor tonight, as has williams. in fact all the players seem to have shit emselves when they realised they were playing chelski.
