I've been concerned by our performances so far but not so much the results as its far too early to panic. I remember winding rags up about 5 years back when we beat them 1-0 with a Geovani goal to put them near the bottom of the league about 4 games in, they ended up winning it come end of season.
Scolari came to Chelsea with a good reputation and he had a great start to the season, he was sacked before the end of it.
So even though we haven't hit the ground running its way too early to make any other judgement than a slow start.
Next two games are crucial and we've got to start playing soon. It will also be easier making a judgement when everyone is fit but we have only played well once so far and that was against 10 men
And with Captain Marvel at the back for most of it.
True.
We've also got to remember that if we are to believe the noises coming out of the club the players have got exactly what they wanted with a manager who says hello to them, massages their egos and treats them with kid gloves to one who behaved like the demon headmaster. So they really should be putting more of a shift in.
Personally I think as such highly paid professionals they should have a manager who will put a rocket up someone's arse and not sulk when "the nasty manager said something horrible to me" but that doesn't seem to be the way with modern footballers
