GRADING CHELSEA'S SEASON 🧐 Is Gab Marcotti being TOO HARSH on this squad? 😳 | ESPN FC

[@sssf55]

Anything above a D is generous. Finishing the conference league after spending a billion dollars is absolutely mental. How standards have fallen is insane.

[@MrBow2dking]

You’re talking like Chelsea spent a billion on super star players to improve the team. Rather, they took the business route and bought bunch inexperienced kids they’re hoping to sell for higher in the future. So they didn’t spend all that money hoping to win anything, but rather to sell and make profits on those players

[@sssf55]

@MrBow2dking "they didn't spend all that money hoping to win anything" is absolutely ridiculous. If your argument is that chelsea have wasted money on subpar players then I agree. But it doesn't excuse them entirely still a D tier season all around given the investments made into the club.

[@MrBow2dking]

@@sssf55 well, you’re entitled to your opinion. But I disagree. And I bet you can find any ex professional footballer/pundits that’ll agree with your rating. Because everyone knows success is not just about money spent. And investment in young players can’t bring immediate success. So you can only give Chelsea a D if they still haven’t one anything in 2 to 3 years, because that was their goal from the start, build for the future

[@pointeddown]

They spent a billion for 8 years of service. Not just this first year. Your statement is short sighted.

[@eL--RaL]

The media is making it seem Chelsea reached 6th on shoe string budget so it's groundbreaking ..what a complete bunch of BS They threw away 1 billion, 1 freaking billion! They should be on an open top bus parade with prem title and FA cup victory lol

My guy....i know some people like to ignore context but u r better thn tht.....they literally spent money on players u have never heard b4.....many inexperienced nd new to the prem league.....none of them have 2 good seasons under them to establish them as good...none of them r world class ....

[@Blaze26909]

Its harder to know what it was deprived of more oxygen or attention🤔🤔🤣🤣

[@SantosComigo]

You do know that half a billion has been injured all season.

[@yulanluo9980]

An improvement from last season, but still needs more for a club like Chelsea.

[@jb8523]

Idk why they got rid of poch, especially when they were starting to click! They could have carried that momentum into next season🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Freestyle80]

Enzo Maresca will now be hyped by ESPN all summer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bastianogero9609]

With the injuries we had 6th is not bad

[@16ShimiC16]

With the money you’ve spent, 6th is a shambles.

[@spADAman-616]

Pathetic bunch of pundits. £1 billion spent and scraped 6th place, embarrassing. If that’s a B what’s a A?

[@henrywalker7418]

I thought the media shouldn't be biased, they were mid-table the whole season.

[@revolutionaryleader9615]

Arsenal was topping the table the whole season but city ended up winning the title, so what's ur point?

[@kuristofa1]

All these guys in the comments talking about spending a billion and finishing 6th is poor- how much does a club need to spend to guarantee winning the league?

[@abdullahalattar4412]

Chelsea can use injuries but UTD no 😂

[@KenyanRebelutionary]

Why are they scared of just saying POCH SUCKS!

[@MiKroXL]

B? More like C-

[@Eriheart1]

So last season was an f, this season a D.

[@dead_r33d]

B?? what a load of bullshit
