how much we spend in this fella and disasi?

Doesn’t matter who we have managing this team, if they have no options it really doesn’t matter, when you have to choose out of trev badi tosin and fofana you cannot win regardless who you pick

Have no interest in transfers unless it’s a CB of WC quality anything else is fucking pointless

I also understand Enzo, Palmer, and Caicedo if they want to leave for teams that fight for titles. If Isak went to Liverpool for close to 150 million, I think we can get the same for Palmer.

Wouldn't blame him. We're not building anything atm. I know they go on about a project but its been about 4 years or so now and nothing is changing or coming toegther. They'll sell him buy some more youth/young players who we'll never see!

its insane how we spend so much money and our squad is average

Exactly what happens when you field kids surrounded by bang average players and manager. “wE nEeD tO aNaLyZe” Shut the fuck up. We lost because of your shit tactics/subs and bent obsession in playing Enzo, Gusto and one of the hideous twins, Badiashile or Tosin. They sell Palmer and directors are still here, I’m out.

I said that jackson is better than him out transfer police is a joke departue of nico, madueke and sancho and we brought gittsen, garnacho, delap and estevao we downgrade our attack. only estevao looks solid but even him need time to adapt what a joke

looool unbelieveble if this happen

🔴⚪️Jorrel Hato is the number 1 left back option for Ajax in January, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea wants to loan him out. (@MikeVerweij)

Both were good at Brighton and Ipswich - but their attributes of composure, scoring ability from different situations, and hold up play are not what we have experienced over the last couple of decades from the likes of Zola, Costa, Crespo, Drogba. Back in the day we'd go all out to get the bloke who humiliated us. Now it seems, ''he'll do'' or as @Blue Armour suggests the most value for a certain agreed budget They also are behind in terms of tactical awareness, and that underated top striker quality -guile, which you cant teach

Both of our strikers struggle in tight spaces, Joao Pedro maybe a bit better in that regard. Neither of them are strong aerially either. If they had an aerial threat, things would have been better. Even an over-age Giroud would do a better job. Delap for all his height, strength and being called an old fashioned English forward, can't really convert anything aerially to take advantage of crosses in the box. Directors didn't look at the qualities each striker would bring when making signings, and instead looked at the most value for money deals on paper.

Hard to judge his time when he’s had two separate injuries in his time here and obviously needed time before taking on a starting role at a big club

I mean i knew he wasn’t our new Costa but this is taking the piss.

I hope we don't wait another season with him to see if he does anything, he is fucking shit and needs to get rid this summer, terrible player.

Has more yellow cards than goals + assists. Must be some kind of Stoke city heritage.

No side has dropped more points from winning positions this season than Chelsea (13). Shows the weak mentality of both players and manager in terms of how to control a game.

Enzo Maresca on the lessons learned today: "In this moment, it's difficult to analyse because we need to realise how to manage a game in a better way. It can be experience, or it can be something we need to analyse." (@BobbyVincentFL)

Caicedo will stick around. Palmer might choose to jump ship if Chelsea dont secure top 5. And IMO., I don't think the club will mind it if Palmer decides to force a move. Clearlake & co., will have dollar signs in their eyes thinking about potential transfer fees associated with that move.

Well that explains the Gusto sub. Putting him at LB though, was stupid. James had played well at LB before, and he should have moved him there allowing Gusto to play in his natural position. As for Badiashile starting this game, the less said the better. Crackpot directors and subservient manager will continue to rotate this lineup till the end of the season, regardless of these results., until a top 5 finish comes under risk.

Wouldn’t shock me at all if we are forced to make a massive sale soon because of their dogshit planning and running of the club. If Madrid or Barca decide they want Caicedo there’s no chance he passes up that chance. And even apart from the shocking decisions they make with so many of our signings, they’re just as incompetent in regards to off the pitch stuff. They’ve been in charge of the club for YEARS now and we STILL have no FOS sponsor. One of the biggest, most successful, most famous clubs in the world playing in the best league in the world and we have been unable to attract a main sponsor. Literally, how is that possible? Likewise, there has been ZERO progress or update on what the fuck we’re doing with the stadium plans. We’ve watched as potential plan after potential plan has evaporated with not a peep from the owners. Every one of our rival big clubs either have shiny new stadiums, are in the process of building them, or are talking about expanding their current ones which are already much bigger than ours. Even clubs with a fraction of our stature have gotten beautiful new stadiums. All of this combined with this dreadful, idiotic “youth only” transfer policy, PLUS the strict wage structure means that we are going to be stuck in this same place for the foreseeable future. Battling for 4th/5th/6th every season whilst watching clubs we used to compete with or dominate leave us miles in the dust.

Made a triple sub on 59th minute. Look at the stats after then. Chelsea: 0/3 Shots on Target, 10 Touches in Opposition Box, 38 Passes in Final 3rd, 44% Possession. Villa: 8/9 Shots on Target, 14 Touches in Opposition Box, 41 Passes in Final 3rd, 56% Possession. This is what happens when you spend the best part of £2.5bn on shite and/or unproven players & appoint bang average managers, sporting directors 👍 Been saying it for about 18 months now. Piss poor at all levels. There will be stories of Palmer & Caicedo will be wanting to leave next summer if things don’t improve, any self respecting top elite player who could have their pick of teams, would be looking to do so anyway.

Played him into the ground. I know Hato hasn't been great yet but still.should be used more to find his feet and most important for now,avoid Cucu getting burnt out or injured.

Should sell Tosin,Badi and Gusto if anyone will take the first two.Gusto has had a few decent games so should be interest and maybe teams won't have picked up on his fatal flaw of being a dracula when somebody brings a cross.

Maresca injury update on regular starter could be terrible news for Chelsea – one game out at least https://Chelsea.news/2025/12/maresca-injury-update-regular-starter-terrible-news/ Enzo Maresca has just taken his press conference after Chelsea’s defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League this evening. The manager had to address a few topics, including how his team had been unable to complete their win despite a dominant first half performance and a lead. “In this moment it’s difficult to analyse because we need to understand again why when we concede a goal we struggle to manage the game in a better way,” the manager said. “Again, it can be experience or it can be that we need to analyse and we need to understand that.” Maresca has bad news update on Cucurella after sub Also on the agenda was Marc Cucurella, who was taken off in the second half as part of a series of changes which really took the wind out of his team’s sails and altered the course of the game. “Because he was complaining about hamstring, so we don’t know if it’s an injury now or not. So he asked for the change,” Maresca said. Cucurella has been played to the limit this season, and it’s quite amazing that he hasn’t already picked up an injury. Even if this is just a minor bit of soreness, they surely have to now rest the Spaniard on Tuesday night. Otherwise they risk losing him for more time just as things start to get busy. So even in the best case, we will be looking at a game out for Cucu. In other news… Maresca also spoke about the decision to take off Cole Palmer, who reacted with some frustration to the decision. Despite Chelsea dominating (and despite scoring their goal), Joao Pedro was just not good enough for Chelsea in the game, failing to create enough threat for his team.
