    1-3 from a deflection. Sums the afternoon up.

    He’s been good going forward and poor at the back. He went chasing the ball and was dragged out of position. 5 seconds later they score.

    Some people berated Ralph last week when clearly he is holding a **** stick when it comes to our defence.

    You also need to look just before that.

    He did buy a winger and striker though instead of defenders.

    Going forward yes. Not so at the back.

    Yes, that’s fair enough, although most our fans had spent two year’s saying we needed those two positions as well.

    Absolutely. Their 3rd wasn’t because of a deflection. Valery isn’t a winger.

    No, the third goal was down to his absence for sure.

    Our defending has been woeful. This is why Valery hasn't been playing.

    This is my only real question mark over Ralph. Without doubt he is a good manager and I enjoy his philosophy of how to play. I just don't understand him thinking we would be better off spending £30m on forwards and nothing on the defence. Surely he must have known our defence is relegation level.

    Regardless, they weren't defending properly so we have been **** defensively.

    If you watch back, he’s also given a few passes away earlier on.

    I’m not digging him out at all, as he’s young but it’s clear that Ralph has some issues with trusting the defenders and I can see why.

    Valery decided he was a centre midfielder for Chelsea's 3rd goal. Horrifically out of position.

    Toss of a coin.

    We’ve needed new attacking players. We’ve needed new defenders. He was told he could spend a bit and then had to sell. We didn’t sell. We signed two attacking players, one of whom has scored two winners and got us 6 points.

    The real issue is the state of the club.
