🔴💣Cole Palmer was not too pleased with being substituted against Aston Villa. He asked Maresca’s assistant Danny Walker why they had decided to hook him, and gave the back of his seat a smack.

At full-time, Chelsea’s hierarchy walked across the pitch to head to the home changing room as usual.

The whole gang was there – Behdad Eghbali, co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, as well as recruitment chiefs Joe Shields David Fallows and Sam Jewell.

Maresca may face questions, from inside and outside, on why his side are throwing away so many leads.

The Clown Show casting call

Genuinely think even Lampard is a better manager than this clown right now.

Cant see him making it past this summer.

Sporting directors should also be binned - if the clubs ownership had real ambitions & balls - their incredibly poor recruitment is as much to blame as any of the managers that have been appointed.

we downgrade our team 

we don't upgrade our defense (we brought hato, that is a cover to cucurella). it was obvious that we needed at least a very good center back and offload badiashile and/or tosin

we brought garnacho, gittsen and delap and the three are awful. joao pedro and estevao are ok but not the level we need

we offload maduke, sancho and jackson and they were better than what we've got now 

bad pre season, some "unlucky" with red cards and thats it

The recruitment was always going to shoot us in the foot. It has done so ever since these new owners came here.

From that first window with high spending on more established names like Sterling, Koulibaly etc (players which we should of signed maybe 2-3 years earlier) now to windows where we repeatedly stock up on young players with limited experience in positions we aren’t screaming out for. This summer was a great example of this, crying out for a top CB, a top GK. Plenty of options we should’ve went for.

The influence of Joe Shields & recruiting ex City players has also been a resounding failure if I am honest. Except for Cole Palmer, the signings of Sterling, Tosin, Delap & Gittens have all flattered to deceive/look well off the level. 

Throw in the debacle with the lad from Bournemouth, declaring interest then being like nah.
