I think Gueye is in an unfortunate position for us right now, especially since Drenthe has come in. With that being said, he is another player that is capable of playing right behind the striker. But once again, I don't think Moyes is willing to give him or Billy a run in there over Cahill.

That's absolute rubbish, at the end of last season he was by far and away our best player. He was consistently churning out good performances.
When he's played there he plays well.

I would not mind if we go down to defeat giving 100% effort and trying-at least we would have had a go,but we seem to do none a lot of the time,i want us to go at it from the 1st whistle not defend and try to counter every so often having,for the 1st 15/20 odd minutes today thought we did ok,from the minute the 1st goal went in that seemed to be it,it didnt help the 2nd been in injury time and the players from the start of the 2nd bar a few minutes just lost interest to me and couldnt be bothered to even try.

Blaming Osman, Hibbert or any player is stupid ..... they did not pick themselves. Look at the decision maker and you will see that we are one dimensional in our approach and offer little or no creativity. Moyes is Mr percentage football, always was and always will be ........ if he was any use, he would have been snapped up years ago.
The problem we have now is that we are stuck in a rut, the players know the negative tactics will not win games and they dont believe in the system. Once we go behind against a good team, we are fcuked and plan B involves shoving the big fella up front as a battering ram ...... by that stage the opposition are on to us and pick us off at will with the gaps that appear in our disarrayed set up.
Midtable mediocrity yet again and no desire to change.

Ugh.
We played well for 30 minutes, and it was downhill from there:
Howard - had an okay game, and then made a giant error. He looked a little not confident back there, which is mind boggling because he had two excellent international games last week. He did come close to blocking Chelsea's first goal - great movement, and then flaps. Sigh.
Hibbert - got beat multiple times. And seemed to be on the wrong page with Coleman.
Jags - horrible day at the office. Beat, turned, bad passes....
Distin - the only one of our defenders that looked like he had a clue. Used his pace and head brilliantly.
Baines - looked off pace. Got beat on the last goal.
Coleman - shocker. I've been saying for weeks that I've been worried about him, and now I'm wondering if something's going on. Sophomore slump? He was at fault for the first goal - not Hibbert, and he gave up the free kick on the 2nd (though that one was more on Timmy eventually). Beyond that, he's back to dribbling and not looking around enough, and he's making poor decisions in the box.
Rodwell/Cahill - anonymous
Osman - kept getting knocked over, and his shots were poor (minus the one right after the half)
Saha - liked his energy and footwork. Had a few poor passes, but he was one of the few that looked creative.
Fellaini - decent game. Made some progressive passes, defended pretty well.
Drenthe - can we start with him? Please????
We are in desperate need of more creativity on the pitch, cause right now, we look like we're going to score....never.

So...I didnt watch it, didn't keep up on here (stupid Internet still broken), but I can guess how it went.
Something like this:
1 - Hello, we've played alright for 30 minutes but not really done anything.
2 - Uh oh they've scored.
3 - We'll be alright if we don't concede another befo....
4 - oh....and it had to be that sh*those Terry.
5 - ah well half time, sure we'll come out and have a go 2nd half. What do have to lose hey!?
6 - oh FFS it's 3.
7 - Neville on for Cahill WHAT?!
8 - Apocolypse scores - nice one.
9 - all over.
10 - weekend ruined?
Was it something like that?!
I'm not worried. About a month ago I fears we would lose at City, the derby and this one. There was always a chance this could happen. Yeah the team and decisions were weird. But they always are.
I'll start to worry if Fulham do us. But not yet. No way.
Having said that. Major changes needed to starting line up. Drenthe and Vellios have shown enough in my mind to start. Heitinga (if fit) has to come in at the back. Right back is an issue, Nev and Hibbo are a worry.

pretty much 1-10 spot on and fulham is our bogey ground as we know taking that 2-0 win on last day out a few years ago,although we were very unlucky to only come away with a point there last season,the problem that day yes you gussed it we couldnt score

Great summary. What worries me is our distinct lack of looking like we're going to score.

Vellios has got to start next game. Please.
I'm actually stunned anyone is actually surprised by this run of results. Out of Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham and Man Utd I've got us getting one point, and thus far I've been spot on.
People need to be realistic - we haven't got a stellar squad, and we're playing sides that have.
