I agree that there seems to be a lack of character in this Chelsea squad. We just seem to be reckless and short of any conviction in games.

I believe many of the players now are gifted enough in ability to get into our previous teams, however they all really lack discipline.

Agree with all is this. We have really good support players in the team, just need a Drogba and Lampard in their prime now to stick them away.

Just spoke to my dad. He said Willian was fantastic,

Willian was everywhere but then again he wasn't incisive at all. And the one chance he had to slip Salah in perfectly, he fluffed and passed it almost behind Eto'o.

We've seriously lost that classy final ball. I've only ever seen the type of passing that will cut through any defence between Hazard and Eto'o to be honest. All of our other players seem too functional and rigid in attack.

That being said, there were two distinct moments in the match where we passed it rapidly and cut straight through Sunderland. It was almost as if our players had woken up from their slumber of turgid football. If we can play that sort of football more often then we'll have no trouble against this type of side but at the moment, that fluid football is too far and few between.
