Chelsea earlier today drew, at home with Hull 0-0. Hull, who got off to a flying start early in the season have more recently reverted to form more associated of a recently promoted team. Yet Chelsea, in their once fortress of Stamford Bridge could not find a goal today. Their Premier League Challenge looks, probably over.
Aston Villa went third today, two points above Chelsea and just three point behind Liverpool with a convincing away result, a 2-0 win at Ewood Park. If Arsenal win their game in hand, they will be just 3 points behind Chelsea, and the prospect of not qualifying for the Champions League could haunt Chelsea's run into the end of the season.
I would like to hear from Chelsea fans in particular as to what you feel has and is going wrong of late, and what you think needs to be done to get your respective challenges back on track. Other fans opinions of course welcome, please let us know your team when stating your point of view. Did Big Phil get it right in the January Transfer Window, is he the man to turn things around?

As a Chelsea nut, born & bred in Chelsea I feel I am the most obviously qualified person to answer this.
Scolari is a clown ! He has no idea of whats happening. What has he ever done in club football? Nothing as the Brazilian league is so s**t that I could still play in it now!! So that dont count.
Any good Brazilians leave Brazil and play in Europe. Therefore picking a Brazilian National side is easy, pick the ones playing abroad.
Scolari has to not only pick a team but also do it twice a week and he isnt capable.
Sack him and get Steve Clarke back.
I must confess Roy, I really wanted Scolari for the England job. Even after Fabio was hired, I kept thinking that Big Phil was the missed candidate.
Looking back now, hands up, I think I was wrong. Capello did not have a great first 5 games, but England were looking good by the end of last year, and the attitude in the England squad has changed. Players know they need to be performing week in, week out to a high standard.
Chelsea seem to be short of confidence, and lacking the organisation and structure on the field that has served them so well in recent years. I do not know if Scolari will turn things around, but if things get worse, and if confidence slips further Abramovich may act sooner, rather than risk slipping further in the league.
