Agent Poch trying to win back the Spurs fans
Finishing yet again letting Chelsea down. Looked pretty solid the first half.
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
I really want to see what’s going on at the Chelsea training ground. Are you practicing finishing? What are you doing? I truly want to know what they’re doing in preparation for a match.
Did Brentford stop trying to play football after the Toney incident? Absolute terrorism.
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.
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
Mindblowing fact: Reece James is yet to win a PL game with Chelsea in 2023 and we are in October
Lmao at Poch’s face.
Brentford biggest club in west London confirmed ✅
That second goal was just hilarious
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.
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
At what point do we stop considering chelsea a big 6 club and start calling them a mid table team?
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
Me too, man, me too.
The 17 year olds aren’t even the issue that much. If you’d just taken the money you spent on Disasi, Badiashile, Jackson, and Madueke you could have got Maddison and Szoboszlai and still had change.
Even just try and spent 1bn on a first XI, its actually not easy. Szobo, Maddisn, Rice midfield. Leao, Oshimen, Kubo attack. Thats still only like 500m.
Third season in a row that we win at Stamford Bridge
Gonna need another billion Todd.
