If we lose all our game do we have a high change of getting relegated? 

Because at this rate is more likely we lose all our games. 

its possible but pretty unlikely

we are at 39 points

only 3 teams have ever been been relegated with 40 or more points (in the EPL era with 38 games)  None since 20 years ago (so it's never happened since Chelsea became a true league power starting when Roman bought us in summer 2003 and we finished 2nd to that undefeated Arse side, then won the EPL the next 2 (and almost 3) seasons)

Sunderland with 40 in 96/97

Bolton with 40 in 97/98

West Ham with 42 in 2002/03

 

Middlesbrough was relegated with 39 points in 96/97

Birmingham and Blackpool were both relegated with 39 points in 2010/11

 

that's it

I see he isn’t taking any responsibility regarding not playing a CF tonight from minute 1. Just blaming a lack of goals in the squad saying it predates him.

Perhaps that is partly true on goals being an issue before him but playing no more than 1 recognised attacking player at home v Brentford and Real Madrid is on him.

Part of the problem, not the solution but looks like he is now trying to cover his own back with comments like that.

Hope he enjoys managing in the championship because there will be no PL clubs touching him with a 9 ft barge pole.

I understand the Madrid game, and considering we had 3 or 4 really good chances before they scored, I think the way we were set up for that return leg was justified.

But there's simply no argument for tonight. With the greatest respect, this was home against Brentford. Having had 10 days since the Madrid game, to roll that team out for this game is embarrassing. What was particularly damning was after the game Thomas Frank saying he was surprised we gave them that much respect and set up that defensively in the first half. 

[Thor 2,702]

I didn't watch the game, partly due to the fact it was at 4:30am here in Australia, but also due to the lack of respect the club and players show for the badge at this point. 

Frank himself can sit and look at himself with that team selection. You'd think we were playing prime Barca with the way he setup the team. Conor should never play a minute for this team, yet he is a nailed on starter. Kante on the wings. Brilliant tactics. 

Just hope we get enough draws from this season that we don't get relegated.

He will end up as worst manager in the history of football.

Honestly Lampard is one of the biggest and most influential coaches right now in world football, basically relegated Everton and fighting to relegate Chelsea as well all in the same season, the balls of his man, he could probably relegate Bayern if he was given the job.

Just 4 wins in 28 games this season for him for both clubs. Let's see if he can bring 5th 😁

And this is why he shouldn't have been here in the first place, first time round was bad enough but this....fuck me, blokes fucking clueless.

But, but it’s super Frankie Lampard… mr Chelsea, mr untouchable, it’s time the supporters woke up and got in the real world, he is NOT a coach, he was a great footballer, stop backing him

I told this so many times but nobody want to listen to me

Hired Lampard was a abysmal decision 

[Special Juan 28,141]

Completely scarred his legacy, and this is how badly run things are. The people advising stuff like this are fucking clueless, whether that Winstanley or his fucking side kick, or both.

I cannot see us winning another game.

[manpe 10,861]

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

Lampard hasn't got it in him to put a rocket up anyone's arse-Weak as piss without any sort of CV in managerial roles. I was left empty when he was announced, imagine what the fucking players thought.

It's shambolic

You can put in a sneaky $1000 bet which will get you $400k back if we get relegated. Might as well get some good out of the bad if it does actually occur... lol

Just placed 5 euros on it 😂

[OneMoSalah 8,886]

Listening to his interviews and comments since coming in makes me wonder why he even bothered coming back.

“these issues predates me”

“I cant see things getting better”

“I want to win games but I can see why we aren’t”

“l took it on knowing what it may be but I’m proud to be manager here” this one is the worst of the lot - we are fucking 11th, winless in however many games, playing some of the worst football we’ve played in years yet “he’s proud to be Chelsea manager”

“it’s really hard at this stage of the season to get that turn” 

The guys a fucking joke. Really inspiring. He will never manage at a high level again and honestly I am glad.

As soon as we announced him coming back.... I fucking knew it... I fucking knew it was going to be a disaster. 

What pisses me off most is how fucking ridiculous our fanbase were twerking for his return... embarrassing l.

Would you rather him lie? What he has said is basically hitting the nail on the head!

He was brought in for a reason though - to try turn the tide and steady the ship.

These comments basically admitting defeat - oh look its not my fault if I can’t get a turn around out of these. So why did he bother accepting the job? Why did they bother hiring him?

His attitude and general comments have been piss poor - his appointment didn’t inspire confidence but imagine listening to all this shite every time before and after a match? Would get the players right up for a match/training. Managers are meant to try and inspire players - no wonder we have lost 5 in a row under him, hugely inspiring.
