Chin up Thiago, three years ago you had never won it at all. Looking forward to seeing you lead us through next season under a bit more... erm... focussed leadership.

You are speaking nonsense. If you can't see beyond the players chosen, then that is a you problem. 

You are the delusional one. Its not just the players but the tactics.  Playing defensive football in both legs but still losing the tie 4 nil...

I fear we are still in the denial phase. too many business as usual posts. “Just get a good manager in the summer”. “No CL next year and we can build something”.

I hope so and admire the optimism. I’ll be v surprised though. 

I genuinely think it's just a manager problem.  We probably wouldn't have got top 4 this year under Tuchel, but we certainly wouldn't have been embarrassed like this

We had enough chances to score a couple goals, Lampard can't change their finishing ability. We can yell and scream for a new manager but we have no goalscorers, there's literally nothing even Pep could do with this squad.

Kovacic has been poor this season. No longer the player he used to be. 

Much as he has been questioned on this board and elsewhere, when it comes to effort, energy and desire Kante once again epitomises everything that I want from our players. No quality in front of goal but that's fine, there should be some bugger able to score when Kante is doing every other bloody job on the pitch.

What is the point in Sterling, embarrassing

Dare I say it I'd take Jose over any touted manager just to instill some discipline and pride back into this club even if it only lasts 12-18 months I can't bare another season as bad as this with some other untested manager. 

Yeah let's appoint the only manager in the modern era who's overseen a period worse than this at Chelsea.

That'll fix things!

The commentators keeping going on like a striker will be the thing that fixes us, but do they think the striker will score ALL of the goals? Even if we got a 30 goals a season striker, we will still need the others to get some goals too. We need a f**king football team, not individuals.

Didn't realise it was Valverde's debut tonight, could have sworn I'd seen him dozens of times in the past. Must be the whisky...

Owner for me.

Guys throwing money about at utter mince. He hasn't got a clue about our game and has burned a fortune to become a joke figure.

We are in big trouble 

Am I the only one who is not that disappointed ? 
Ok it’s not great compared to recent years standards but we played well at times 

deep breath and go again, some teams didn’t make it this far in the champions league 

Must be nice to be a Real Madrid fan. Always know you will be attractive to top players, as well as knowing you are a top 2 team in Spain. 

Aargh, that's why Frank should have started Mudryk!

Mudryk find the target behind the nets! Amazing.

AC Milan beating Napoli, yet we beat them 3-0 and 2-0 lol mad times

And some of the Serie A savants on here were saying Napoli were the best team in Europe. Apparently not then.

Nonsense.

This is by FAR as bad as anything I've seen in my lifetime. Jose wasn't even close to this disaster

 

I think we’ve looked even less likely to score after the “attacking” substitutions.

Talented players, some good football. No goals, no wins. That is Chelsea this season.

We are broken 

The more we spend the worse we get.

Thank f**k we can be done with this overrated competition. If not for the money made from making top four, I don't have much interest for it. Same old sh*t every season. I'd rather we focus on being a good domestic side, then the rest will follow. 

I have some bad news...

Sterling with his predictable dribbling moves is every defender's dream to play against....

Well Spurs rely a lot on Kane. Napoli have relied heavily on Osimhen. Man Utd on Rashford. We won our titles with a 20 goal striker. 

Mudryk needs to play every minute of every game for the rest of the season. Not sure I've ever seen a player whose one [edit: to this extent] obvious deficiency is experience!
