You guys laugh now but you just wait, in 7 years, these players will come good

Just as they all leave on free transfers

while the good ones force their way out before that

What the hell was the keeper thinking LOLLLL! There was 4 mins left to play, and it’s not some saturday pub league

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

don’t think Disasi should’ve lasted 67 mins, he was a blackhole of creativity going forward. Jackson also had a terrible game. Palmer was the only Chelsea player who really impressed me

That second goal was just hilarious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The funniest part to me is that Maupay just isn't allowed to score. He had one cancelled out last match, and this time he was clear but passed it on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I wonder if Chelsea players feel extra pressure to make the most of a Reece James cross knowing full well he only has a few more until he'll need another surgery

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good performance from Brentford, same old from Chelsea. have possession, have chances, don’t finish them. Opposing team scores and continues to sit back and they can’t break them down.

Brentford played well defensively and deserved the win i

Did Brentford stop trying to play football after the Toney incident? Absolute terrorism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

chelsea is a midtable club

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

People will say Chelsea were the better team, but this was a classic Brentfording.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Poch is at the wheel

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

😄😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

At what point do we stop considering chelsea a big 6 club and start calling them a mid table team?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thiago looks like he’s just absolutely fuming

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Brentford winning at Stanford Bridge for the third season in a row. Wonderful stuff

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

So glad we turned down players like Madisson because they‘re 26 but signed 291 17 year olds that are good but clearly not ready

Gonna need another billion Todd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Surely this means Brentford is bigger than Arsenal

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Chelsea really struggle against teams that sit back... they lack the experience of how to break them down I think.

Finishing yet again letting Chelsea down. Looked pretty solid the first half.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pochettino is such an overrated nothing manager. All those players all that money and he hasn't got a clue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Cole Palmer, with near zero PL experience prior to this season, is Chelsea's best player.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

xG

Brentford: 2.21

Chelsea: 1.58

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fair play to Boehly. He's really cementing Chelsea as decent mid-table contenders. Really good base to build on from.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So, who does Chelsea go for in the winter window to strengthen their squad?

You just have to laugh 😂

I'm just counting down the days until Poch fucks off so we can start trying to be a serious club again, and I hope the board realises their mistake and parts ways at the end of the season, instead of letting pride influence their decision. He's washed as a top-level coach, and the game has simply left him behind.

We have just needleesly wasted a season on a guy who was clearly no longer good enough to meet our needs.

Hopefully, he takes Gallagher to whatever new club he goes to as well

Brentford biggest club in west London confirmed ✅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Oh my God what if Poch gets fired if we were to beat him next week

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I swear there's not a creative bone in this entire Chelsea team. James is their only creative outlet and he has the durability of a packet of Quavers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao at Poch’s face.

Chelsea's return September 2023 - October 2023

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Never forget we made THIS Chelsea team look like prime Barca. Fucking tragic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Mindblowing fact: Reece James is yet to win a PL game with Chelsea in 2023 and we are in October

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Third season in a row that we win at Stamford Bridge

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Boehly getting the biggest reality check of his life

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is art in motion. Beautiful beautiful

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Genuinely hilarious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Only cost a billion

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm tired of this team. Just when you think things are turning around, they drop this absolute stinker. I'd love to say I'm done supporting them but I sure as hell will be there next week. Fuck you Chelsea, sincerely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Its what supporting Spurs has felt like for so long

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Haven't seen such a spineless team in God knows how long. And it all starts with Poch. This is not a project you are not a tanking team in the NBA get him out of there noone is ever gonna develop if the team has no soul

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Lmfaoooooooooo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

1 good half and a 2-2 draw against arsenal and people thought chelsea were back haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Brentford fully deserved the win. PL should just fuck Chelsea off and give their spot to a better team like Wednesday. Give someone like them a fraction of what Chelsea have and they'd be a solid PL side.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Agent Poch trying to win back the Spurs fans
