3 HRS AGO - In today's Chelsea Daft Vlog I take a look at another disaster against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge last night. It's the first time that Chelsea have failed to score at home in the FA Cup for 20 years!Points to note in the Vlog:Big problem with Luiz & Rudiger partnership - not playing together.Hazard - why play central in the second half when it was an already condensed area? Only when he switched back out to left that he became influential again to a point. United had opened Chelsea up THREE times before they scored. The warning signs were there. Chelsea created little and struggled again to break a team down who play compact and narrow in the defensive third. No penetration, no runs in behind - no change of style. The manager has to be sacked now. He refuses to change or adapt his approach when it's his job to manage the players he has NOW to get the best out of them.God help us on Sunday against Manchester City in the Cup Final!What do you think of the video? Post your Collapse

4 HRS AGO - Maurizio Sarri is serving up predictable, sterile football and some choices are hard to fathom but Chelsea share the blame for this messChelsea fans don’t often turn on their manager. They don’t usually have time. But there, distinct in the cool February air, just six days before they play in a cup final, it was: “Fuck Sarriball! Fuck Sarriball! Fuck Sarriball!” Add in the booing at the final whistle and the chants for Callum Hudson-Odoi throughout the second half and it’s fair to say the Matthew Harding Stand has made its mind up about Maurizio Sarri.Fans are not always right, of course, as a notorious Old Trafford bedsheet of the late eighties makes clear, and boards must make their own decisions, but this nonetheless felt a decisive moment. Stamford Bridge turned on André Villas-Boas and it didn’t like Rafa Benítez from the start, but outright revolt against a manager is unusual.

14 HRS AGO - Chelsea were knocked out of the FA Cup tonight by Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Having already called for Maurizio Sarri to be sacked last weekend, this performance does nothing to change my mind. By the sounds of it, plenty in the stands are beginning to feel the same.We wanted to see a reaction domestically tonight having been thumped by Manchester City just over a week ago. Forget Malmo in the Europa League, this is where it matters at home against an old foe. For 30 minutes we had some sort of reaction until the wheels came off defensively again. Just fifteen minutes later United took advantage of our defensive frailties to capitalise and make it 0-2 just before half-time. Make no mistake, Manchester United toyed with Chelsea this evening and we had literally no answer. Apart from a David Luiz free-kick in the first half and the subsequent rebound from Pedro, Chelsea created NOTHING. Ole Gunnar Solskjaerset his side up superbly without the ball, with each player doing Collapse
