OH MY FUCKING WORD

Playing well now and in control but failing with the final pass again and again.

Jorginho breezed past AGAIN. GET HIM OFF!

Saul at least got a look in before we realized he was a disaster. Let’s see what Zakaria can do. Can’t be worse than J5.

Where is Zakaria? Can we not play him instead of J5 for some added thrust and physicality?

Get in.

That’s twice now in the span of 5 minutes that our defenders have stood on the ball and let Ayew pinch the ball. We’re embarrassing, man.

Palace have barely touched the ball and yet their 2-3 attacks have been more dangerous than what we’ve created.

The only penetrative passes we make are long balls that nobody can get ahold of. Everything else is side to side where Palace can just park the bus and stifle us completely.

The link between midfield and attack again nonexistent with Mount totally invisible AGAIN.

1 attack, 1 chance, 1 goal. Fucking terrible defending.

Always nervous seeing Silva in a back 4 with Jorginho in front of him. Especially against a very tricky Palace attack.

Good Lord, it feels like I haven’t seen Chelsea play in 2 months! I don’t know whether to be excited that our squad could be refreshed and sharper now that Potter has worked with them for a few weeks or nervous that we’ll be extremely rusty having not played together for so long.

Ziyech is so poor now that I’ve come to actually dislike him. And it’s compounded by his piss poor body language. Looks like he isn’t bothered a bit. Potter needs to refresh the side by the time we next play. Start Broja, start Zakaria, start giving Carney some minutes. Stop trying to make Havertz, Mount, Azpi etc play themselves into form. It’s clearly not working.

We could hardly have hand picked an easier group and unless we win all of the remaining games we will be humiliated and knocked out. With one of the most expensively assembled teams in history. Horrendous lack of composure in the box + one or two guaranteed dreadful defensive lapses per match and this is the result. We can control and dominate almost every game but these two tendencies will always hold us back. Chance after chance after chance (including repeatedly from like a couple of yards out) and we can’t finish. And then our opponents pounce on one or two mistakes we make and score. That’s the Chelsea story.

Thought it was most,y fine with the exception of two players: Havertz and Mount. The same two who have been dreadful all season so far. Both have had nearly zero impact in the final third. Get both of those out of the team for a few matches until they wake the fuck up. Play Broja together with Auba or something. Thought overall we totally controlled the match and weren’t in danger at all. Created plenty of half chances that fizzled out at the final pass. At least we didn’t look all over the shop like we have recently.

Not only with the two oldest members of our squad in a formation they haven’t been playing much, but also Jorginho who has been woeful so far this season in front of them. This could either be a brilliant gamble or blow up in a big way.

Azpi & Thiago Silva in a back 4? In a must win CL match where you want to make a positive first impression in your managerial debut? I want to be positive about Potter, but…🫣

I have no clue how good or bad Salzburg is so I therefore have no clue what to expect.

I’d be fine keeping Kante around and using him as a situational player who doesn’t have to play every match. Jorginho absolutely must go, though. Unless he has some sort of major resurgence in a new way of playing that Potter develops, I suppose.

Damn, man. He was genuinely shocked it looks like. He definitely figured he’d have considerably longer to turn things around.

Still no photos or videos from training or interviews with him or a presser?

So weird how we’ve appointed a new manager with all this commotion and not even going to see him presented or have him do a presser for days? And his first match is going to be thrown in to a must win CL game.

Least I can watch the F1 race live now 😅

If indeed next weekend’s matches are postponed as well due to the funeral, that’s insanely good luck for us and Potter. Couple of weeks to implement his methods.
