No one wants to be ahead of the ball, it's all fannying around the 18yrd box

Jackson just runs anywhere. No rhyme or reason to his movement. Takes space away from his own team mates, gives space to defenders. Absolutely zero football intelligence.

he is rubbish.

Good to see Madueke on.

Wolves fan?

As a club we genuinely think we're above having someone like Gary O'Neill as our manager,  yet he is miles better than anything we have had in the club for 2 years now. And I don't overly rate him, but he's better than the fakes at our club

Badiashille for Gusto? What kind of a sub is that ffs

never rated gusto from summer friendlies average player at best

This is Brentford again. They'll score a breakaway and win 2-0

Sometimes I wonder if people have been sleeping for the past 20 years when they want to criticise a man that didn't buy a club to make money and kept them competing home and abroad for the entirety of his stewardship.

Short memories? More like forgotten.

Not at all - but to say that the rot only set in with the new owners is bullsh*t. 

We have been rotten for a while

We make bang average players look like world beaters against us week in week out, it’s so frustrating.

Some odd subs - you'd think with ten minutes left while losing we would take a punt on having two natural/attacking full-backs. Silva stays at LCB to cover Maatsen, interesting.

Not really sure what Poch thinks Madueke will add that maybe three of the other attackers already on the pitch don't. Surely bring on Lavia so we have a proper base in midfield and we can use Palmer further forward? Does he think just throwing on greater numbers of progressively worse forwards is going to lead to us scoring?

So glad I went out and decided to not waste anymore time on this match 🤣🤣

Zero shots on target.

I’m really losing patience with Poch. He’s had terrible luck with injuries and failure to execute, but there is no coaching. No one sprints off the ball or gets in the box. 

WTF isn't he on the sidelines shouting and screaming  and directing like Klopp, Jose and others.  He says he's frustrated and angry...well then show it FFS instead of sitting on your arse...!!

we have to just all admit Chelsea players are mostly all average and none of them play as a team. 

They've all been bought with potential of growing so we can sell and make profit x5 of cost and not because they were seen to be able to come into a squad and push for winning things.

Winning might not even be on the agenda, just buy enough potential with growth upside and sell for profit after selling all the academy players you have sold for insane profit.

Roman's last season finished with us being a top 3 team. Great academy, winning mentality, 0 debt. Shut your mouth boy and stand up when you mention that name.

Raheem Sterling is a greedy c**t and I want him out of my club ASAP.

Gonna cheers myself up and watch the first half hour of ‘Its a Wonderful Life’ on repeat

I’ll have to watch the replay but did a Chelsea player actually throw himself at the ball in the oppositions box?  That’s MOM for Nkunku then for me.

Questions need to be raised about the scouts and executives who identified these players and gave them such lengthy contracts with no evidence of quality.

Sterling you twat .. you cost us this one.. 

I struggle to blame Poch for this.  Any manager having to find goals out of Jackson, Broja, Sterling and Mudryk has as much hope as  China has of cornering the seafood export market.

MTE. Nkunku got two headers in while everyone else just stood still

Not that I necessarily disagree with the idea that things weren't always rosy under Roman, but it's probably worth noting that Clearlake inherited a team who were the literal world champions and have turned them into a shambles who struggle to stay in the top half.

That 3 on 1 miss had we scored that we might have had a chance

Yeah, Jackson would never try that. Maybe if there was an onlyfans girl flashing her tits.

I feel for the traveling fans. Sitting at home watching with family who don’t watch much football - their comments are it doesn’t look like Chelsea want to be there and no pace. 

We fail big moments in matches. Sterling today; but they happen every game. 

11 individuals and a coach that doesn’t really know what to do. Lost.
