Poch is going to give these owners a serious snap back to reality and some serious home truths, while going to the job centre, the club is back into that chasm of self destruct, heads dropped, wishing season would end, while manger seems to have given up, the players are lower than a snakes belly, it's us fans who deal with the pain,

Petrovic had his chance, done ok,
Ok isn't good enough,
Mudryk, struggling for words,
Jackson missed a sitter of header,
Punished other end,
The lack of fight is unreal,
27 Apr 2024 22:36:56
Petrovic unsighted for there second goal and other than that he was solid.
Jackson did miss an easy header.
Mudryk was poor again.
Our desire to get a result was there for all to see who want to see.

Thank f. I had Villa at Evens. At least Mrs G8 will be happy!
27 Apr 2024 22:38:11
Not any more she isn’t G8. Never count your winnings and never back against the team you support.

I was happy with our performance but obviously not with the result.
I don't think VAR should have referred that decision back to the ref because for me it wasn't a clear and obvious error.
They are 4th and and we have totally outplayed them. Also the Poch tactical switch moving Cucarella into midfield was a good call.
Caicedo was absolutely outstanding and it can be no coincidence that his beat games have been when he is playing next to Gallagher.
Noni was again a handful and a big shout out for BB because he quit rightly got pelters for his recent performances but today he was generally solid.
27 Apr 2024 22:36:03
This was the best Caicedo game at Chelsea. Finally. Chalobah means the world to Chelsea and Dud Boehly and Clownlake capital want to sell him as well as Gallagher. Thank god Casadei got 3 minutes to play I would give him much more. Mudryk played only because there was no one else to play. Maduke has amazing potential anf that's what he has shown tonight. Silva is not fully fit probably that was the reason why he didn't start against Arsenal.
All in all very positive display by Chelsea Football Club.

Sorry for negativity boys but even if we go on to win this, this idiot needs the sack.
He's had longer than Potter and we are no further on.
Hated tuchels type of football.
The only manager I can see tho is the sporting Lisbon guy.
27 Apr 2024 22:40:39
Jsfinchy. The Poch tactical switch moving Cucarella was excellent and changed the dynamic of the game.
I didn’t want us to sack Potter but we are a much improved side this season but some would say that wouldn’t be hard.

I'm watching women never a pen the defender hasn't even made a move she even asked for VAR the people that run want stringing the whole VAR thing has been a joke from the start it's a total joke doesn't solve anything has been proven it not bullet proof so why not get rid of its like the Chelsea back line unreliable slow and inconsistent but most of all like anything else people should be Punished just like the players when they do something wrong let's see who's making the wrong decisions let's get them in front of the to to say sorry but they won't because the whole lot are cowards and have not balls to come out and so protected why do we go through life protecting the weak.
27 Apr 2024 19:00:41
Isak is so clinical, Jackson makes the runs he does just doesn't have the technique or instinct to shoot like isak,
27 Apr 2024 19:12:51
Saying it for week the lads not a striker.
27 Apr 2024 21:05:38
Should have put away the header but I will forgive him the offside goal.
27 Apr 2024 18:53:54
Anyone read the poch interview, seems to be pointing at the sporting directors, few subtle digs about the
" managers responsibilities but the club is planning and structuring a plan that needs to prove it works, because of the results you can say it's just the manager, but I don't have the keys to the club, I don't make all the decisions here "
When asked who needs to prove themselves to be here next season " it seems only to be me but it's the whole organisation, I think it's important "
Also he admitted he hasn't spoke to the owners in a over two months,
I'd say the writing is well and truly on the wall,
Problem we have is, poch is PART of the problem, but the problems are bigger and higher up than him and he is spot on with what he is saying, majority of issues will land in the next managers lap, if the next manager isn't as tactile and arm around player approach, we really need a manager coming out hanging players out to dry, players on long contracts and only young? What if next guy in doesn't think palmer offers enough off the ball so goes with another player, what if he keeps oublicslly talking about inexperience after the owners tell him not to?
27 Apr 2024 21:07:16
I didn’t like the interview he gave but he made a good point that it shouldn’t just be a managerial review.
27 Apr 2024 22:18:46
Matt, you are right Poch isn’t the only problem at the club ; it’s difficult to know where to start. Leaving aside Poch’s performance as a coach, he seems to be talking himself out of a job.
27 Apr 2024 22:39:41
Tom, not sure what you mean by “ not just a managerial review “. There probably should be a review of the medical setup but do you seriously think there will be a review of Sporting Directors or that the owners will review themselves? Obviously, the starting point is the coach.
27 Apr 2024 22:41:51
I’m more convinced now than ever that Poch will be our manager at the start of next season.
27 Apr 2024 17:26:22
I was thinking about the mudryk has performed for us. Is he really that much of a headless chicken? He seems brilliant through the middle as he has plenty of space to move into. On the wing he runs out of space so quickly. Also his pressing on other players he seems to just walk and never attempt to close down. If he used his pace other teams would feel pressured and lose the possession more often. Is it management or is it mudryk.
27 Apr 2024 21:09:58
BLUEBOY, so “far” his entire Chelsea career has made him look headless.
I’m putting it down to personal issues and a total lack of confidence. I’m also hoping he will show us more next season.

Total respect to Enzo, playing through pain month after month. Hopefully he will be back to the form he showed at the World Cup and early on his Chelsea career after surgery. Always nice to hear the full story behind player performances. 😏.
26 Apr 2024 21:08:41
Fair play to Enzo but was it wise to play him for so long with this injury?
26 Apr 2024 23:42:06
Yeah not entirely sure Jimbo. If he’d had it done straight away he’d have been back healed &fit a month or two ago.
27 Apr 2024 11:01:07
Everyone in there jobs work through injuries, are we seriously celebrating this to excuse why he's been underwhelming at chelsea from his first game? He has ability but he has to improve. Fair enough he's playing through it but when his performances are as dire as they were against arsenal, it's better to not play.
27 Apr 2024 12:28:50
Standard, you will be returning to a country that has millions of people not working because of sickness and there will also be a percentage of those “sick” people who are bogus!
To say “everyone” in the jobs work through injuries is just wrong. There will be a percentage of people in this country who have to work to pay the bill and they have to work through there suffering but that does not apply to “everyone. ”
I have no idea if the Enzo injury that he has carried for several months, probably to help the club through its injury issues, has affected his playing performance. My guess is neither have you.
I hope to see a pain free Enzo next season strutting his stuff. I will leave my judgement until after then.
27 Apr 2024 13:36:18
I do think Enzo is a top player and I believe that Caicedo well be also be a proper midfielder in a better Chelsea team. I would prefer CG to stay and link with Palmer as I think Chelsea would have a very good 6,8,10 that would challenge for top 4 PL. It is the amount of dead ends and ball loss that has contributed to the general mediocrity of the team. None more so than the goal kick 6 yard box shenanigans to beat the press. Disasi, Badashielle are the worst, slightly better is Cucurella but even he is unpredictable, Gusto and Chilwell can do it, but when they do get out, the next step down the flank or up the middle is another minefield, Sterling receives is smothered and then simply loses the ball, Murdyke looks clueless as if he has never worked on it in training, generally he loses it by simply giving it away, or in an attempt to retrieve a wretched pass fouls the opponent so frustrating. and Jackson is so unpredictable that midfielders are reluctant to commit and go by him, as it is 50:50 as to whether he’ll get it to a Chelsea shirt, go on a run himself or simply have the ball removed from him and he falls over.
