Got 9 games left. Genuinely might not win a game as Chelsea manager again.

Rest of the season is Brighton, Madrid, United, Brentford, Arsenal, Bournemouth, Forest, City and Newcastle. Aside from Bournemouth and Forest we most likely lose every single one of those games

 

We're genuinely looking at a 40-45 point low mid table finish. This season has been a disaster

Or see us score a goal.

I do feel for him, Felix scored that goal and we kept them out or at least got a draw, we'd be applauding for turning this around. Instead, we got the usual. He could ended up having the worst run of a Chelsea manager with 10 games to go and players already ready for the holiday season, and it's not doing him a favour for getting his next gig.

Lampard team has always been not good tactically on the defensive end. But who cares, lamp could come out with groundbreaking tactic and if you can't finish one on one and have Kepa + Cucu in your backline, it is irrelevant.

FT: Brighton 4-1 Chelsea (Havertz 90+3) 

Maybe Brighton will go easier on us now since losing Potter lol. In all seriousness I can't be bothered with this season at this point. Just glad we don't have to participate in Europe next season as it's more of a hindrance at this point with the building this squad/club needs to do.

Odds on it will be an own goal.

Own Goal certainly needs to get his finger out.  Scored 3 last season ...  nothing this season yet 🙂 

Even got 5 under Sarri ffs 🙂 

Its been a real chore watching us these days 🫣

Holy sh*t, just a year ago we'd be celebrating having 3 tricky games with a possible CL tie.

Today, I'm pretty checked out already. 

Hopefully this disaster will stop this "get (insert club legend) in they will show these lot what it means to be Chelsea" being spouted every time we have a rut.

Lampard has made everything 10x worse, could you even imagine what we'd look like had we given this gig to Terry.

When Potter was sacked the assumption was that the owners had their replacement lined up and ready to start. Under those circumstances I could see why they would have moved ahead with the decision. However, given that we had done just about enough to secure our Premier League status at that point I don't really see why they chose to fire Potter for an interim. I can only assume that they thought it might give us a better chance of winning the Champs League, but I'd argue that the resulting uncertainty probably had the opposite effect. I doubt any interim would have helped to be honest. Guus did well in his first interim stint but had a squad with much more character and almost a half season to oversee. Frank is probably more popular with our fans than Potter, so perhaps it was purely a PR stunt. But I am not expecting any change on the pitch when the players know they are just seeing out the season at this point. This has more in common with Giggs taking over at United when Moyes was fired.

I disagree with that, once they decided Potter wasn't the one he had to go, wouldn't have been fair to keep him as a defacto interim and then for him to miss out on job opportunities that come between now and the summer.

When it happened I hoped upon hope Lampard's express yourself ball would have worked quite well with what we were doing well under Potter (defending and bullding up in the first two phases) but we've lost even that, we have immediately gone to the post lockdown football of looking like Stoke without the tough to play against element, only this time we don't have one of the forwards hitting a fluke purple patch or prime Mendy in the nets.

I said Lamps was on a hiding to nothing when he was appointed interim and after two poor defeats nothing changes that IMO.

The stats are getting worse with each and every game. Think Lamps has something like 13 defeats in last 16 matches and we now haven't scored a goal for over six hours. And that after we spunked £600m. You couldn't make it up. We are currently a laughing stock and it hurts but we'll just have to take it on the chin.

 

Honestly if we needed an interim we should've just went for someone like Rafa, who is at least competent

Wonder how many more games we need to not score in to set some sort of record.

In the PL, it's 12 blanks out of 30 games so far, and there are another 9 when we only scored once.

Interesting. Any idea how many games in a row of not scoring is the top flight record?

Thank you! Dennis wise Steve Clarke John Terry etc, all proper Chels all put forward over the years to bring back the passion.  Dave will be next. No better than people suggesting bang average players should be bought because they grew up a Chelsea supporter imo.

Always bewilders me when I see "JT wouldn't let this happen" every time we have a run of bad performances like he wasn't here for the entirety of 15/16.

Might be Crystal Palace - 9 games in 1994/95 season.

Palace also managed an 8 game run of no goals in 2016/17 (last game) and into 2017/18, which ended (of course) against us LOL

I'm surprised Derby County aren't holding the record after their 2008 season

Yeah that was a bad one.

Guess we need another 7 league games without a goal to break that record. 

I say bring back the Mourinho........impersonator
