If anyone believes we are as fit as the rest in this league they are watching a different game to me. It's all about opinions but I see a team that labours through every game while opponents such as Bmuff seem able to run and run for 90 minutes.

Coasted through the game, gave away a goal and didn't appear to give a scooby.

Ok, didn't realise you knew more than the sports science experts - I'll get back in my box.

Is this a joke? Did you watch the way the Chelsea players raced upfield when we lost the ball at our corner while our lot jogged back blowing out of their collective arses?

It is nearly all down to poor pre-season training. If this is not done properly it is impossible to correct during the season when games come thick and fast.

It is likely to be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Players were given Sundays and Mondays off even after the many poor performances. RM had also given them Christmas Day off despite a Boxing Day fixture against West Ham although that was cancelled by Juric. Whatever the truths are about training I defy anyone to argue that we are not the least fit team in the Premier League and by some distance.

The RM did no wrong brigade need to reign it in - he is responsible for producing the least fit football team I have ever seen and it is well documented that days off instead of training was the order of the day during his reign. Pre-season training must have been lots of laughs and no work.

I think the 9-0 record could go against Liverpool if they decide they want to beat it.

About time he opened his mouth.

Dragan should get the SR geeks, manager, coaches, scouts and players into a room and rip their fucking heads off.

If you have the worse players in the league you can't also be the most unfit but we are.

Downes strolled through the game not giving a fuck including when he gifted them their second goal.

Yeah, thought he did ok considering how little football he's played. I think he should have been given more chances from the start of the season to build up his match fitness and might well have been a different player by now.

Unfortunately it is the club that will carry the stigma - individual players will just drift off and forget about it.

This is what happens when the side do not train properly pre-season. Most unfit team I have ever seen.

That goal sums up everything that is wrong with us - complete embarrassment.

How can we have so many players that are unable to even get the mere basics right, the simplest of things yet they find them impossible? It is embarrassing how limited most of our players are. Chelsea have been average but we've allowed them to just stroll into a 3-0 lead. The errors we make when under little or no pressure make you wonder how these guys earn a very good living being very bad at what they do. Chelsea can help themselves to whatever score they want.

Juric's team selections are completely baffling and hard to make sense of or even to guess what he's trying to do or how he wants us to play. I'm just totally apathetic now because everything about our club is batshit crazy.

Thought that was obviously what I mean.

I thought he'd do well and wanted him to succeed but he has been unable to even slow down our headlong hurtle into oblivion as a completely hopeless team in terms of fitness, tactics, effort and performance. Another manager welded to one system that is clearly not working. Why is it so difficult for us to appoint a manager who is adaptable and willing to try different things.

Bednarek played 12 minutes on Saturday so someone needs to explain how he can be out with fatigue.

I've supported this football club for over 60 years but now I look on helplessly as it is destroyed from within. Sports Republic arrived with promises and ambitions but all we've had from them is a complete mismanagement of the handling of an elite football club. Their complete incompetence knows no bounds and there are no signs that anything is going to change soon. Recruitments from managers to coaches to players and scouts has largely been catastrophic - everything they could get wrong they did. So, in answer to the question posed it is neither the managers or the players we should blame because the fault lies with our owners and their inability to do anything other than turn us into a complete car-crash. I'm not sure what stories they told Martin Semmens but he was conned hook, line and sinker by these charlatans and he made a bad choice. Like many others I'm beginning to care less and less. Maybe Johannes Spors will get us back on track but he has a mountain to climb. I would have expected to hear something from him by now considering we are nose diving into oblivion. He's pitched up at a club in turmoil and it gets worse with every passing game so you'd think he'd have a lot to say but we hear nothing. Somebody at the club needs to stand up and be counted. The fans deserve far better than this mess and lack of accountability.

He's proved himself a bad apple so he needs to show that he is a team player but I'm not convinced. The last thing we need is a disruptive influence. Hasn't shown much effort since his big mate Russ left so, if he's picked, needs to contribute a lot more than strolling around picking up niggly yellow cards. Man up and put a shift in for the team - it's what he's paid for.

Would you prefer we didn't play our best 11 in our best formation?
