Had to log in for the first time in months after watching my first match of ours in months to say that that was incredibly pathetic. I was shocked to see literally ZERO progress made since I last watched. Midfield 2 looked like they had no clue what they should be doing at all, same laughably terrible composure in front of goal and couldn’t score to save their lives, same horrific tactics against a Liverpool side who were missing loads of their best players. It’s 100% clear that Poch needs to go. We have a squad talented enough to be FAR better than this in the right hands. There’s just no use in sacking him now or at all during the season since it’s dead and buried already. I haven't kept up with any football whatsoever lately so I don’t know how well he’s doing this season but is De Zerbi still the hot ticket? Can we target him this summer?

The perfect encapsulation of Chelsea over the last 2 years. Find it absolutely impossible to score ourselves and concede goals ourselves from the simplest actions possible. And once again a fantastic opening 15-20 minutes then nothing after the opponent settles in to their double decker bus. How are we going to pick up a single point over these next handful of fixtures? I don’t think we do. Had we not choked against Arse and won this against a Brentford side who have been struggling all season it could’ve seen us shoot up the table. Now the season is dead again and there’s no point in even watching. Top of the league Spuds humiliating us will be the ultimate embarrassment. 3 straight PL losses AT HOME to Brentford. My goodness. I’m done. If these players can’t care I can’t either. I’ll be back for the new season.

Fucking called it. The most predictable thing on earth. And beaten in the air at the back post AGAIN.

Also must be said that after some extremely positive early flashes through preseason and those first few matches that Nico Jackson has faded badly. He’s still making some decent runs but he isn’t threatening in the final third at all. Our hopes that we finally had a monster #9 that could eventually grow into “one of the best in the league” as Poch suggested are starting to look misplaced. He has the tools but isn’t producing the same performances that he was earlier.

Game has that typical Chelsea feel over recent months. Have almost all the ball, create a few clear chances, don’t score but then either get sucker punched on the counter or commit a calamitous defensive error out of absolutely nothing. We struggle SO MUCH against low defensive blocks.

Have to move it about quicker when we have them camped in their half. Playing right into their game plan by walking it around.

I’m really not feeling Madueke, btw. So fucking awkward with the ball. He’s got a Ziyech-like left foot around the box but he’s really strangely poor dribbling it a lot of the time.

So many ridiculously good chances Palmer is creating. If we had a killer #9 in this team he would FEAST.

Very surprised how cohesive the team looks so far. Very positive going forward.

This has the look of a XI that will be clueless defensively and have no chemistry going forward. And then not really much on the bench to change it up if things aren’t happening. These constant injuries mean we can never build consistency. Every match is like opening a mystery box and seeing which random group of players happens to be available that day. We have a different key player out every week. Most of the time more than 1.

Oof. Not feeling this XI at all. But with the players missing there isn’t much choice. Very tough match, this.

I see all the Ramsdale rumors. Firstly, it would be madness to go out and sign another pricey keeper after paying £25m for Sanchez and also signing a backup we haven’t even seen once yet. And secondly, does it not say something that just 1 year after signing Ramsdale Arteta almost couldn’t wait to replace him because he’s weak with his distribution? Remember Kepa is still also technically still a Chelsea player and we also spent decent money on Slonina. I don’t think another new keeper is on the cards any time soon. We’ll just have to keep the faith in Sanchez and hope he settles down.

Seaskn changing result was well in hand. Picture perfect defensive performance, super smart with the ball in attack, Arse with 0 shots on goal for the vast majority of the match. All thrown away with 2 defensive howlers. We really fucking needed that one, damnit. 😔😔😔

Completely dominant and totally outplayed them for 80 minutes and then choke like this.

Unreal. Both goals completely out of fucking nothing. Fucking shocking. We’ll be lucky not to lose this now.
