It is yet again another case of de ja vu for Chelsea supporters after witnessing another gutless performance form their players.
The Blues were thrashed by Sheffield United yesterday and put in a god awfully lacklustre performance – and that’s putting it nicely.
After the game Frank Lampard questioned his players mentalities once again.
Lampard: "I learned a lot and I won't forget that." As Souness said in the Sky studio afterwards, sounds like a few #CFC players have just played themselves out of his plans for next season.

This comes as no surprise, as Maurizio Sarri questioned pretty much the same group of players last season.
Sound familiar? Same s**t, different manager?
“I have to say that I'm extremely angry because this defeat was due to our mentality. We played against a team that mentally was far more determined than we were and this is something I can't accept.”

And Antonio Conte the season before.

Coincidence? I don’t think so….

There is a reoccurring pattern here, and this club badly needs a massive deadwood clear out.
