Please don’t ask him, Christ knows what type of picture we’d get

4 losses in last 5 games, reality bites and cheque book opens?

Every team has a dip in form, lets hope that's all this is. Currently it makes little difference; we're cemented in 4th regardless of what Manu or Spurs do. For now. Which just goes to show what a great start to the season we've had...

There's an evens chance you won't be 4th after next weekend though.

They've gone from woeful to just plain awfull

Pathetic, but unsurprising. Honeymoon is well and truly over, and if it was anyone else in charge we'd be calling for their head now.............

Actually I'd have been delighted with a top 4 place at Christmas at the start of the season, so maybe some perspective is due

This. Young team, young new manager, there's bound to be some rocky periods and Frank will get more time than most. We've done well to be 4th currently, but there's a tough run of fixtures afoot - I'd be surprised if we're still top 4 by the end of the year. But I'm ok with that, we're in the midst of a pretty big change.

Ah, the usual balanced Chelski fan.

I said early doors he’d suffer an ‘ole’

[Wadeski]

Wasn't this the season everyone was looking forward to us being at best mid-table, maybe even relegation zone? Wet behind the ears manager, untried kids etc.

4th is just fine. Just need to toughen up a bit in defence.

Bayern in the last 16. That's the end of that then.

Jammy Spuds got Leipzig.

Leipzig are top of the league 4 places above Bayern

Astonishing ignorance of anything outside the Prem, RB are a hell of a team

[BadBull]

He got the bit right about it being the end for Chelsea.

[smn159]

Seemed to go OK for us last time we met them in the Champions League IIRC

Never really make much impression on the CL though.

They've only played in it once before...

I would be happy with 4th as well, but to face West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth and not only fail to come away with a single point, but not deserve a single point, isn't good enough.

[smn159]

Well that was a superb half of football... Spuds have hardly had a kick

What could possibly go wrong now?

[Chris Stott]

Alonso lucky not to lose his head there.

Bit reckless wasn't it. Could have just caught it!
