Chelsea 2-2 Hull City - the fans' verdict

[BBC] We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Chelsea and Hull City . Here are some of your comments: Chelsea fans Robin : Really poor defensive display again, with basic errors from Hato and Gusto, both of whom need to be dropped. Martinez was all over the place for the second goal as well. Five points dropped from winning positions and it's only gameweek four. It's going to be a long season. Chris : We are a bizarre team - look absolutely incredible going forward but defensively we are a shambles. None of the defenders seem capable of defending, never make a tackle and are always the last to react. I feel for Martinez as he has often done his bit but gets no help from any defenders. We deserve to concede every game. Woeful. Peter : This is the Premier League not a Saturday afternoon kickaround at the local park. Chelsea were unprofessional, lackadaisical, wasteful and lucky to draw as Hull should have scored four. As a lifelong Chelsea fan, I find it disappointing that we threw away two valuable points through undisciplined defensive naivety. We must play more cohesively and with intelligence if we are to prosper at this level. James : This season is going to be fun! Goalscoring is not going to be an issue but keeping them out clearly is! Hull fans Gary : Excellent. After going behind, we didn't wilt and turned it around. Once Chelsea equalised we didn't sit in and defend and had good chances to win it. Full of belief and proving a lot of skeptics wrong. Chris : I can recall the last time the Tigers drew 2-2 at Chelsea: March 1966 in the FA Cup sixth round. We were leading the Third Division at the time, with Chelsea fourth in the First Division. Ken Wagstaff scored twice in the last 10 minutes to make Tigers history. I was only 10, but I was there at Boothferry Park for the replay. Alas, logic returned and the Blues won 3-1. The current side are writing their own history. UTT. Andy : I and many other City fans have to now start believing anything is possible. The team spirit is not something you can buy and we lead the way. Commentators and pundits need to get off their high horses sometimes and treat us like the other 19 teams in the Premier League. The shock factor is now in the past. Ray : Can't understand why the match reports in all types of media always focus on how poor the opposition play, yet very little credit is given to the Tigers. They may not have the most expensive squad but what they do have is determination and a collective approach to each game - every player knows what they have to do. Then there's the coaching staff led by Sergej Jakirovic - current Premier League manager of the month. He was unknown when he arrived in Hull and he's delivered way beyond anyone's expectations. So, can we have a bit more credit for the Tigers and less about the opposition's failings?
