TERRACE TALK: Chelsea - Low-key victory highlights current malaise

If the game against Scunthorpe was anything to go by, it’s going to be a very long season. Given the lowly opposition, I’m surprised our manager didn’t attempt to inject some flair and inventiveness into our play.

Give us something exciting to watch, something to make us forget the shenanigans of late. If anything, yesterday’s performance emphasised the malaise that seems to be hanging around the club.

The manner of Jose’s exit is still raw and the fans are split about who was right and who was wrong. Us staunch “Mourinhoists” are the most disillusioned (or delusional depending on who you listen to), and I’m still finding it difficult to support these players. It’s an odd feeling — I want Chelsea to win desperately but I don’t want these players to succeed.
