The Biggest Problem at Chelsea is OBVIOUS

[@stevenmichaels4947]

Big up to dan! The biggest problem is our ownership & directors recruitment strategy! Our recruitment strategy is killing off another season & getting another manager sacked! 😭

[@bizzareblackout8073]

Only signing 1 player, Liam Delap. Take Jackson out the limelight for a bit. Another note, if he brings on these attacking players on the 65/70 min mark instead of the 80 minute mark, maybe instead of the James free kick being on the 95th minute; it could've happened earlier. This would give us more time to get a winner Also that is exactly what I think about the Tel signing, he's inexperienced in a team begging for more experience. What's worse is that we will use him to cover up the fact that yet again we failed to get a striker which is what Maresca has been asking for.

[@lukebashian5591]

I think one of the main problems is we’re so rigid, the wingers never make inside runs, the fullbacks very very rarely overlap, so then defenders know they don’t have to worry about inside runs from anyone except the striker and midfielders and they know if they can double up the wingers they don’t have to worry about an overlap

[@properchels101]

EXACTLY.

[@alanalcock351]

WELL SAID... I have been seeing Chelsea play like this for MONTHS.?? NO INVENTIVENESS with our play it's too rigid and predictable if we don't find a way of changing it up with FREE flowing movement we will not get Champions League & importantly NO money rich sponsors so we can invest in QUALITY.. .COYB

[@nicolemonkeviciene791]

And on top of it Maresca says he doesn't like his full backs overlapping. So everyone knows what to expect

[@alanalcock351]

@@nicolemonkeviciene791 it's the reason our wingers score so little..IF our full backs pushed on more you'd see us score more.???

[@tobyaudu6828]

The first KZbinr to actually spot the problem. The central midfield is defensively dead when Lavia doesn’t play. And hugely disappointed in Enzo Fernandez when it comes to covering for Caicedo. If he won’t defend at all, then Felix might as well start ahead of him.

[@martindinar6336]

I agree 💯 cz wt is his role wen he is nt scoring goals frm the midfield or creating chances it's only Palmer ther bt Enzo is playing ther as an 8 rather hv Felix ther play Lavia nd Caicedo as holding midfielders am sure Lavia can do more than jst be a sitting midfielder he can make those runs nd assist he used to do tht before

[@LJfootball14]

Chelsea thoroughly dominated Bournemouth but again the defense is poor. The scoreboard doesn’t reflect the true outcome of that match.

[@desmondtoussaint4770]

Our coarch is simply blind towards certain players. Sanchez should not be in our goal. Tell me why he keeps playing Sanchez after costly mistakes. Palma is no doubt our best player, but there are times we can use a fresh leg because he is not in the game. Sancho was not in the game the second half. Use your bench earlier.

[@davycrockett8886]

Agreed. Sancho is great, but sometimes a substitution is needed. Sanchez is not the type of player Chelsea needs. Poor with his feet.

[@paaniiowoo4101]

We must go back to use our full backs well then things can change in our favour

[@samsungsaracen]

Bring back Santos and give Chillwell a chance, at least Chalobah has returned.

[@LJfootball14]

Chalobah has been terrible at CP

[@davycrockett8886]

Clothes lining is legal! Hurrah 🎉

[@davycrockett8886]

Hopefully Chelsea uses CB with some experience now. Chalobah please.

[@davycrockett8886]

I was unhappy Josh started. He is an 18 year old child. He was partially responsible for the one goal. Lavia gave away the ball for the penalty too.

[@HeathSutton-r1p]

It’s pretty obvious that Jackson missing chance after chance is costing us. Everton, Palace & last night. Also, why oh why won’t Maresca play Félix? He’s the most technically gifted player we have. Give him some decent minutes and and see how he goes. It’s not like anyone else is providing offence threat

[@SonOfChelsea]

I disagree on Felix being the saviour, but I do think he's failed to maximise rotation as he could.

[@alanalcock351]

Jackson isn't costing us it's our DEFENCE.. it still CAN'T KEEP A CLEAN SHEEEET..If we could we would be in a title race....COYB

[@antonS2166]

That was a bad penalty by Moses, and the 2nd goal was a good goal, I wouldn't blame the kid. That reff was shity .. welcome back James. It's going to be a fight for top 4 buckle up 😂😂

[@rolandtb3]

Injuries and key absences continue to haunt Chelsea. Dogged persistence in a designated, underperforming striker is costing points and league positions. The insistence to use a short line-up with late subs is not guaranteeing success. We have to do better with attacking set plays. We did not take advantage of our taller players: Colwill, Acheampong, Madueke, Jackson, Adarabioyo or our robust players like Caicedo and Lavia. Others have to start contributing; Fernández, Madueke, Neto, Sancho.

[@Bronkoifish]

Osimehn. Nough said.

[@koleksonpaite2186]

We say enough, seen enough. I don't even want to say anymore because it's so frustrating. Why can't we killed off any games before the break as we are sure if the opposite scored every players just gave up. I will say one more time Jackson is not a striker who will have us wins games and forget about the defence we need a REAL goalkeeper. A goalkeeper is one of the defence. The defence can't always bails out the goalkeeper. This January window please bring in a striker and a goalkeeper whatever the cost.

[@Seanself363]

Easy to be reactionary and say get a striker in but you're gonna have to pay a massively inflated fee. That puts pressure on that player and then even harder for them to succeed in the few months they hahe til the end of the season

[@Seanself363]

Bournemouth are 7th and only 3 points behind us, not sure I agree with the "they are where they are in the table" lol

[@martindinar6336]

We need a no 9 we need Maresca to make decisions we need Maresca to be motivational not being negative we need hm to integrate the squad we have loads of talent the games w drew or lost we shld hv been winning those games freezing out Chukwumeka wen the midfield is not flexible enough to on one on one to freeze our Nkunku nd Felix we hv lacked goals or to change tactis u cnt start nw to put Felix or Nkunku cz the team is loosing he was supposed to integrate these players wen w were winning so tht thy dnt feel.left out nw only thy mst mke play no confidence ther is not tht feeling of being partnof the squad Maresca for me is nt an upgrade from Poch nw w are number 5 potentially 6 or 7 cz Aston villa is cmn Man city wll finsh ahead of us cz thy hv a scorer Newcastle already 4th its so diabolical the way Maresca has played out he way we play has been found out by opposition Maresca cnt change this inverted fullbacks is crapp for me we can buy bunch of players aslng as we dnt hv an experienced No 9 up top its jst a waste of money cz our wingers a nt like Salah who can score goals we a in a deep hole after the wolves game w play Man city

[@abrahamola-osoko3414]

Maresca is not an upgrade on poch.

[@davycrockett8886]

Tosin is much better than Josh in many ways. He gives us an option for set pieces.

[@VinceJ1990]

If u need a red card to win a game, it means u’re not good enough. There will always be referee mistakes, unfair calls etc. champions win games - end of story.

[@PapaBrejj]

Look he isn't immune to criticism... idk why he's making so little offensive subs and so late + hooking Acheompong was disgusting, he played well and that goal was NOT his fault... but Maresca clearly coached a 3-0 first half peformance. Jackson can't finish a packet of mini cheddars atm and having no backup striker is suicide... The entire teams head drops and we capitulate.

[@Jupitersonlyson]

This isnt the manager , we had more than enough chances. We need a striker!!!! We need a top defender!!!!! Sanches with another bozo moment but didnt cost us.

[@lewisfrangiamore347]

That referee needs to find a new job to not give a red for that is so so poor go and ref in league 2 that doesn’t belong in this big league

[@Localedgetravel]

This is truly disheartening to watch. These players are paid millions, yet we’re witnessing performances like this-players and coach alike. Something has to change. The team desperately needs experienced strikers, someone like Victor Osimhen, to bring quality to the frontline. The constant excuse of "players not fitting the style" is wearing thin. Coaches are meant to adapt, inspire, and lead, finding ways to make things work with the resources at hand. Fans sacrifice so much, working hard to afford tickets to support their team, only to be let down. Chelsea needs to set aside their pride and make the necessary moves-sign a proven defender and a seasoned striker. Additionally, why not bring in legends like John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho as consultants to guide the defense? Their expertise and experience could make a world of difference. The time for excuses is over. It’s time for action, accountability, and a renewed commitment to the fans and the club's legacy.

[@SonOfChelsea]

Amen

[@abrahamola-osoko3414]

the coach is a mediocre coach. how can you not use felix in attack when jackson is not firing? a rigid and weak coach who can’t make changes completely

[@wilsonthomas8165]

Let's get Osimhen and a top defender.. We can't throw away chances against teams like Ipswich, Fulham, B'mouth. The team is presently delivering at 65% capacity. We need to rave our team up to 95% capacity to win any trophy. If we bring in Osimhen and another top defender, then raving at 80% capacity can still win us a trophy.

[@pogbatotypogbamatuidi6147]

Osihmen guehi bring back ugochokwo

[@calvinh.4682]

I don’t know abt you but I’m so sick and tired of Maresca coaching downwards on team expectations and sitting on the bench watching the game slip away while not making any subs. The dude is “confident” jackass who acts like he is reinventing football. Putting limitations on players who marauding full backs being “unable” to invert. The more season goes on the more I dislike Maresca. Btw that cutback from Madueke wasn’t as easy it initially seemed. Jackson could be excused here bc the ball bubbled up and changed direction substantially too. Totally agree with you on that VAR- Cucurella obvious red card that down graded to yellow. The PGMOL and their employees are the Kings of Incompetence. Every game lately there is a major non call either in terms of pen not given or red cards not given. My MOTM was Palmer. “No comment on the ridiculously incompetent Sanchez” i guess Maresca and Sanchez are equally incompetent. I agree with everything you’ve mentioned. Unfortunately I don’t see us making the top 4 this season at all.

[@mrmoe110]

When I see guys pull Cucurellas hair and don’t get called for it I actually think part of the reason why is because the men judging it might have a “men shouldn’t have long hair anyway” mentality
