These teams are very lucky Chelsea took a break from the UCL.

Look at the quality of the Champions League ball in this PSG Bayern game only to end up watching a battle of Haram ball tomorrow 😭😭

Robert Sanchez is actually insane when he decides to have a day like this. Wow. He was fantastic most of the season before Liam randomly dropped him.

Chelsea now 10 points behind Liverpool and Aston Villa with four games left to go. No CL football again for Chelsea. Joke.

The reason Chelsea are struggling is because they’re changing the approach that made them successful in the last two decades. Chelsea are serial winners. They don’t build. They’re not Arsenal or Spurs. It’s either you win or get sacked as a manager. Chelsea has sacked managers who have won the league and champions league for them. Once you stop winning, you get your sack letter. This part of their culture still exists in some way, Rosenior sacked after 4 months, Maresca sacked after winning the CWC and Conference League. The part of their culture slipping away is with respect to the players they sign. They’re investing heavily on young players who don’t seem ready. Young players are meant to be integrated gradually, alongside the big players to mentor them. The squad does not even have leaders which is something Chelsea isn’t known for. The owners also want to build, having wage caps. Those wage caps won’t attract big players, it’s those youngins who are just breaking out that’ll sign such contracts of 9 years with 80k per week. You’ll end up with Delap no disrespect. You can see Osimhen couldn’t even take a wage cut, the wage being offered seemed like a disrespect to established players, most of the big players wouldn’t. Read about same situation in Spurs. This is a major problem. My proposed solution: Go back to who you were before. Simple. Employ football heads. Ruud Gullit said in a podcast recently that he doesn’t think the people running the club know football. They’re businessmen.

If Chelsea mistakenly win the FA Cup and Arsenal go trophyless, who had the better season?

Club statement: Liam Rosenior

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have decided to SACK Liam Rosenior with immediate effect. It’s OVER after 4 months, and 5 consecutive defeats with 0 goals scored. ❌

I hope gooners washachukua enough screenshots wakiwa top of the table.

Step 1 - show up and collect a 6 year deal at Chelsea. Step 2 - underperform so bad that the board will have no choice but to sack you after 16 weeks. Step 3 - cash out your £24M severance package.

🚨⚠️ Meetings ongoing during the morning and again now at Chelsea to make final decision on Liam Rosenior’s future. The head coach always felt support from the hierarchy in recent weeks but results have been poor… and Chelsea are seriously considering a change of direction.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea are ready to permanently replace Liam Rosenior with a head coach who has experience at the highest level, should he leave his post. (@Matt_Law_DT) #CFC

Even if we sack him this is incredibly and immeasurably embarrassing for the sporting directors, they also need to go. You sacked a winner and gave Liam Rosenior a 6 year contract, you failed and now you want to sack him. Unbelievable. Unforgivable.

Chelsea’s sporting leadership are now discussing what to do next. They are taking stock of the situation after last night’s shocking performance at Brighton. Although the club have backed Liam Rosenior up to this point, football is ultimately a results business. It’s too early to say whether Rosenior will definitely be in charge for the Leeds game on Sunday. As things stand, he remains in charge, but the situation could change. Chelsea players have the day off today.

Compared to the majority of the teams in the PL, this Chelsea team don’t run fast enough, work hard enough, aren’t strong enough, aren’t physical enough, aren’t tall enough, and have weak mentalities. Yet people paid £2bn to build this squad ignoring the above. It’s criminal.
