Lmao this is gonna be bad. 😬

100% agree. The time for Poch (or any other competent manager) to come in this season was right after Pottler got the boot. Now it's pointless.

Lol why does the thread title say "Chelsea 1 - 2 Brentford"?

When Pottler got fired I was like fuck yeah let's go! I'd been waiting for that announcement for months, nobody could possibly do any worse than him. Boy was I wrong... I hoped they had lined up some big name to succeed Potter, but of course that wasn't the case. At first I didn't believe the Lampard rumours, thought it was a joke, but fuck me they actually did it. Even after hiring him I had this hopeful thinking that he couldn't do any worse, possibly might even fire a rocket up the players' asses, but instead he's managed to make us the worst team in the EPL. Shambolic

The Silva and Badiashile pairing was the best part of our season. We suddenly started looking more solid at the back. Then all of a sudden they were almost never played together again and we fell to shit. All this unnecessary chopping and changing did not do us any favours. Towards the end Potter was finally finding a settled team that even managed 3 wins in a row, but Lampard, instead of building on that, completely changed everything... I was hoping a bit that he would just take that settled team over from Potter and motivate the players to do better, but instead he thinks he's some tactical genius with this 3-5-1-1 nonsense.

I disagree. To me, the problem is clearly the coaching. Sure, some players are not good enough, but not to the point that the whole team is suddenly relegation material and by far the worst team in EPL. The owners fucked up majorly with manager appointments. It's no coincidence that this total capitulation happens right after owner change. It's on them.

Well that might explain his stinky performances this season, he wasn't fit.

It definitely can't be the only explanation. Maybe only Azpi, Kante, Trev and Gallager love the club, nobody else.

How the fuck is Kompany even in discussion? This has to be a joke. 🤦‍♂️

No, not anymore. It's too late, the season's dead, nothing to play for. Let this season ride itself out and announce the new manager just after that. We need to get the next season right. Boehly and Eghbali should go back to wherever they came from and let the people they hired run the club. I hope to fuck this trend of them going into team dressing rooms won't continue next season, surely they must get bored of it at some point.

Sorry if this has been asked or discussed before, but I can't be bothered to read all unread replies... So can somebody explain to me why we need to pay compensation if Nagelsmann was fired and is currently unemployed?

It was stupid, but this part of his game is probably something that a proper coaching staff can help with.

Chalobah shouldn't have even played, Badiashile should have. Wasn't registered. 🤭 What a clusterfuck and totally braindead season.

We paid €65.30m for a downgrade on Alonso. 🤪

You mean 4 out of 4?

Might be an unpopular opinion, but if we don't sign a striker in the summer, then we should keep Lukaku next season.

We have greatly overachieved by getting this far in the tournament, it's a bit of a miracle. One more game left, hopefully we go out with some dignity still intact.

Passionate about their investment not tanking*

Hahahaha you're right this is some kindergarten level shit

Looking at the match stats for a second I thought I misclicked and looked at Estonia vs. Spain or smth... Chelsea being Estonia

Bring some examples please.

The prices quoted for that "generational talent" are insane. Felix is a luxury player who should be on our list only after we sort out our striker, midfield and possibly goalkeeper. And anything over €40-50 mill for another Havertz - hard PASS.

Lost only by 2 goals, positively surprised. Expected we'd ship 4 at least. Glad I fell asleep after half time. Watching us play these days is a waste of time.

I would be down with that team. Except maybe Badiashile instead of KK. Mount may actually start performing now so wouldn't mind him starting.

As he should. What's done is done, we should now support him no matter what. I'm not a fan of this appointment, but if our nr. 1 choice isn't available right now, then anybody (even Lampard) is better than Potter. I don't believe Frank will make us any worse and that's good enough for until the end of the season. Main priority is avoiding relegation and I'm not joking saying that, with Potter that was a real possibility.
