Fair play to Boehly. He's really cementing Chelsea as decent mid-table contenders. Really good base to build on from.

That second goal was just hilarious

[–] -eagle73@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Third season in a row that we win at Stamford Bridge

[–] Green117v2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gonna need another billion Todd.

Boehly getting the biggest reality check of his life

[–] DoubleDeckerz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

😄😂😂😂

[–] no_speed1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mindblowing fact: Reece James is yet to win a PL game with Chelsea in 2023 and we are in October

[–] Marimo_420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Brentford biggest club in west London confirmed ✅

[–] avolcando@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People will say Chelsea were the better team, but this was a classic Brentfording.

[–] RaRaRaaputitin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You guys laugh now but you just wait, in 7 years, these players will come good

[–] lodermoder@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just as they all leave on free transfers

[–] Progression28@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

while the good ones force their way out before that

[–] Putrid_Loquat_4357@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

At what point do we stop considering chelsea a big 6 club and start calling them a mid table team?

[–] Mxurn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] MAXMADMAN@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] KidDelicious14@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh my God what if Poch gets fired if we were to beat him next week

[–] BadBehaviour613@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Surely this means Brentford is bigger than Arsenal

[–] TheSoundOfTheLloris@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Brentford winning at Stanford Bridge for the third season in a row. Wonderful stuff

[–] DepressionNoodles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thiago looks like he’s just absolutely fuming

[–] emize@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

xG

Brentford: 2.21

Chelsea: 1.58

[–] Yurilovescats@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chelsea really struggle against teams that sit back... they lack the experience of how to break them down I think.

chelsea is a midtable club

[–] jordanhhh4@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] getyourchebsout@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Poch is at the wheel

don’t think Disasi should’ve lasted 67 mins, he was a blackhole of creativity going forward. Jackson also had a terrible game. Palmer was the only Chelsea player who really impressed me

[–] spurs_fan_uk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Finishing yet again letting Chelsea down. Looked pretty solid the first half.

[–] Gyaru_Molester@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pochettino is such an overrated nothing manager. All those players all that money and he hasn't got a clue.

[–] Maeleh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Did Brentford stop trying to play football after the Toney incident? Absolute terrorism.

[–] InoyouS2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Far_Eye6555@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So, who does Chelsea go for in the winter window to strengthen their squad?

You just have to laugh 😂

I'm just counting down the days until Poch fucks off so we can start trying to be a serious club again, and I hope the board realises their mistake and parts ways at the end of the season, instead of letting pride influence their decision. He's washed as a top-level coach, and the game has simply left him behind.

We have just needleesly wasted a season on a guy who was clearly no longer good enough to meet our needs.

Hopefully, he takes Gallagher to whatever new club he goes to as well

[–] Chiswell123@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lmao at Poch’s face.

[–] RTafazolli1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Never forget we made THIS Chelsea team look like prime Barca. Fucking tragic.

[–] FurrySire@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cole Palmer, with near zero PL experience prior to this season, is Chelsea's best player.

[–] Linwechan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What the hell was the keeper thinking LOLLLL! There was 4 mins left to play, and it’s not some saturday pub league

[–] MrAchilles@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Chelsea's return September 2023 - October 2023

[–] aro_plane@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm tired of this team. Just when you think things are turning around, they drop this absolute stinker. I'd love to say I'm done supporting them but I sure as hell will be there next week. Fuck you Chelsea, sincerely.

[–] amoult20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Its what supporting Spurs has felt like for so long

[–] Kaigz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lmfaoooooooooo

[–] rob3rtisgod@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Brentford fully deserved the win. PL should just fuck Chelsea off and give their spot to a better team like Wednesday. Give someone like them a fraction of what Chelsea have and they'd be a solid PL side.

[–] shiftyeyety@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Genuinely hilarious

[–] Dumbjackass@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Only cost a billion

[–] BaconBaconBacon24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

1 good half and a 2-2 draw against arsenal and people thought chelsea were back haha

[–] lastjedi23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is art in motion. Beautiful beautiful

[–] antreas_as@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't seen such a spineless team in God knows how long. And it all starts with Poch. This is not a project you are not a tanking team in the NBA get him out of there noone is ever gonna develop if the team has no soul

[–] Ickyhouse@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How the fuck did we draw these bums.

I would laugh at Chelsea right now, but I need them to take points off of Spurs and City.

Get your shit together.
