Dan Thomas

Yeah, tactics, coaching, all that's all great, but sometimes you need a fist and sometimes you've got to use it.

You just wonder whether he's got a fist and you wonder whether he can actually use it.

I guess we'll find out the next time Chelsea step on the field, because as a coach, next time you go out, you point to this game and say, I will not accept what happened at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

You threw me then.

So what happens next?

We've got to see the response.

What if there's no response and this just kind of... Well, that's on the mind.

And then are we talking about another manager for Chelsea?

Well, yes, because if there's no response, you know, if I'm director of football, that's what I'm looking for.

particularly after this poor performance.

I want a response.

And if I get a response, that'll tell me that the players have still got it in them to go out and win games.

And that has to come from both the manager and the players.

If they come out and they put on the same sort of performance as they did at Everton, then you've got to start questioning the manager whether he can actually deal with the players.

Can he motivate them?

All of those questions are...

are needed answers.

And if Chelsea limp from here to the end of the season, then you absolutely got to start thinking about another manager.

I'm just looking at Chelsea's upcoming games now.

They've got Port Vale in the Cup, then they're home to Manchester City, home to Manchester United, away to Brighton.
