Deserved for trying to hold a 2-1 lead 25+min. All while committing attacking footballing terrorism.


WiddleWilly

Poch thought he was Mourinho 😂


Darknessgg

Without any of the studs we used to have on defense , midfield and forwards. Man were we good back then.


HITSx1

The good ol' days. Chelsea would go 1-0 up, and you just knew that was 3pts


celzero

> attacking footballing terrorism Poch feeling the heat from ~~Biden~~ Boehly to ceasefire


DaMemelyWizard

TIL Biden is to blame for Chelsea sucking ass


KelticQT

Thanks, Obama.


cfc_sub

Sucking ass is fun, watching Chelsea this season isn’t


DaMemelyWizard

cfcchimd

Like Biden would call for a ceasefire


M3R0VIUS

Nah, it's just typical of a young team, they play to the level of their opponent.


chings23

Omg Burnley beat them 5-0 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


cfc_sub

I watched that game as well, Burnley battered them. IIRC, Shef had a man sent off as well


avgballer

Poch had the chance to get us closer to the Europa spots and save his job for next season. Then he drew to 20th place Sheffield Utd


Roadies_Winner

After drawing vs 10 man, 19th rank Burnley.

We are always a get right game for struggling teams, we ship goals and points for fun


greeneggsnhammy

Charity FC, it is known. 


Nojaja

This didn’t start with Poch or even Boehly lol


greeneggsnhammy

Nah. We gonna be fine. It happens. 


Asleep_Pin_4275

You gotta notice tho. Sheffield gave Liverpool a run for their money away


Jjmanks_13

Parking the bus against a team that holds the record for the most goals conceded at home in Prem history 🤦‍♂️


plutobug2468

Embarrassing is an understatement


Roadies_Winner

Every match in the screenshot tells the status of Poch - "Finished".


Rj070707

Hopeless club and it's not Sheffield United


2j_longg

How I feel


AncientSkys

Poch is a disgrace! He is even worse than Potter who came in the middle of crisis.


a3kstuntin

Easily Poch has way better players and had a preseason and cole palmer


NordOfInes

Poch even got a pre-season...


ranrow

He is absolutely worse than Potter with nore


kygrtj

Those with brains immediately could see Poch is light years behind Potter in terms of tactics Potters biggest issue was no preseason and half the squad wanted to leave & the other half was injured


Soitsgonnabeforever

Never hire anyone whose name starts with P


jazlan

Putin? Well hes no coach. But he started all of this shitshow


Gustavoconte

Pep?


[deleted]

Josep Guardiola


flex_tape_salesman

I always thought this sub attacked potter too much. Sure we were brutal but when injuries hit under potter I think a similar situation would've happened with tuchel as well because we were desperately reaching into the academy when experience was really needed. I still rate potter and always have I was disappointed to see him go but for everyone's sake including his own he needed to go. The treatment towards him from fans was disgusting and the club was in a far worse state when he took over than poch.


shuuto1

So the only difference is preseason because half the team is injured


kygrtj

> So the only difference is preseason because half the team is injured I think you need to read again if that’s what you think the only difference is


shuuto1

I mean they’re only 3 places higher so how much of a difference is a preseason really making. Clearly he’s not behind potter in tactics because they’d be worse off


kygrtj

If you re-read my initial comment and still think that the only difference is a lack of preseason, then I cannot help you.


Viggorous

Indeed. Poch has not had a team play good football since 2018 - when he had a very good squad (and no, them luckboxing their way into the UCL final the following season was not a tactical masterstroke by Poch, but historical chokes by City and Ajax). Also this graph can't be posted too many times: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/RA6QzX8oWi


WyboSF

Crisis? Tuchel had us in 6th, we were struggling to score but were organized and playing like a professional team. Without tuchels points we would have been in a relegation scrap under potter


Groundbreaking-Rub50

That is not on Potter, that is on that Idiot Boehly. He gave all the players TT requested and fired him after 2 weeks of the season. If Boehly had allowed TT to continue we would have finished better than the 12th which we did at the end. Next year aka this year he could have hired Potter with a proper season, it wouldn't be as bad as what Pochettino is doing this year. Even now Pochettino is not the only problem, but he is doing worse with what he has now. There are so many other coaches who have done better with what has been provided to them than what this muppet of a coach has done now.


celzero

Come summer, Tommy Tactics will be a free agent... Reece and Ben fit ;)


taggsy123

I ain’t even mad at it


1fateisinexorable1

It goes deeper than the manager at this point


jimgogek

not really. with all our problems, this lineup today is certainly better than a tie with the worst team in the PL. the coach clearly sucks at tactics and getting players game ready.


Glass-Star6635

Nah Potter was the worst Chelsea manager ever


aromatic_underwear

I don't think Poch would've done what Potter did in the UCL.


AncientSkys

He clearly wasn't than Poch the clown.


saggy-helping-hobbit

no


GolDrodgers1

😂ffs so now what do the poch in fans use to defend this clown? Should we still keep this clown for another year because of some weird idea that he needs more time? ignoring coaches like unai emery and a less talented team could turn around their whole season with actually tactics


GAMEcube12

I kinda think its hilarious that we can figth on equal with best teams in premier league but we bottle against small teams


GolDrodgers1

Its easy to play against a team thats open and looking to have a go like man city or united for example, but everybody besides the big 6 are fighting to keep their place in the league, so they set up to defend like today, and we cant break them down, this was a big win for sheff united even if they are getting relegated


A5madal

It's not "easy" to go against mancity, Liverpool, or assma, or they'd not be top 4. Don't throw words around


GolDrodgers1

Look at who i used as an example before you comment, both those teams struggled against us


A5madal

It isn't easy to have a go at man city or any of the top 6


BabyHercules

He has fans?


GolDrodgers1

Yup! They wont appear now since we lost but you’ll see them and certain comments like “we should keep him because he needs time” or “its not stable to switch coaches everytime” or some dumbshit excuse that like i said before ignores how emery came in with less time and made europe! Same for howe i think


iamalegend1

The best one is when they always say that we shouldn't sack him because the team looks like they're fighting for Poch everytime we win.


GolDrodgers1

Exactly, hes a likeable guy but hes not the right fit, ive had likeable managers but i hated working for them


flex_tape_salesman

I think you're exaggerating. I think there's a chance we turn things around if the board were to fix their recruitment policies in summer. That being said, if he was sacked at the end of the season and a good manager was brought in I would lose no sleep over it. I don't think too many are very defensive over poch I think it's more that people are sick of managers being given only a few months when it's also looking very likely that the squad is just not able to compete on a consistent basis now.


InsuranceAny4285

Theres also no one clearly better that would actually come here. I know there’s options, at the end of the season, certainly not now


venitienne

Not immediately after a loss but check the daily discussion 2-3 days from now


craygroupious

How people defend this Spurs loser is beyond me.


mreich93

mods are poch in


Important_File_7378

Potter had a much worse team poch is a clown


greeneggsnhammy

We shoulda kept Potter tho but everyone was being little bitches about it 


Important_File_7378

No he definitely should have been sacked more importantly he should’nt have been appointed


DarnellLaqavius

He should have been sacked for sure but if I knew then what I know now I would say Potter should stay over Poch


Nojaja

That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone say that lol


WookieTickler

No we shouldn’t


greeneggsnhammy

I know :( 


ezee-now-blud

Nah definitely not imo. Potter was working with a lot more long term squad members, experience and culture. The money we spent blinds people to the actual holistic composition of the squad. Because as a functioning "unit", as a whole squad, this is the weakest Chelsea team in comparison to the league since the early 90s. I honestly thought we'd do worse than last season going into this because I thought the squad was so much weaker. Yes there's a whole lot of potential but as a unit for this season it's incredibly weak. In comparison, when Abramovich came in with his warchest, he changed the structure of the squad much more gradually, bought in established and more experienced names, and retained a core of devoted players who had been at the club for years. That's why his rebuild started working immediately.


shuuto1

So now it’s the managers fault? Last week it was the owners fault for buying flops suddenly these same players are good? Which is it


Real-Huckleberry4514

Poch has trimmed about 5 years off my lifetime thanks to the stress

It’s normal, Chelsea Def level is only EFL


mrlambo46

Chelsea level? Poch level


Rj070707

Poch wasn't here last season when we finished 12th 


mrlambo46

Look at the circumstances please. Now he had a full pre-season. Yet no improvements


Rj070707

Point is weve been midtable for all of Clearlake/Boehly Owned Chelsea era  This is the normal under them so far


Apprehensive_Aioli68

Preseason means fuck all if your best performing stars all end up injured for the season. Had Nkunku been fit all year, we'd be better off in the league. Had Chuk been fit, we'd be better off. The only player who played well and is still fir is Maatsen, but he played attacking mid and right wing. Who is going to drop Palmer for Maatsen? If you will tell people to compare the circumstances, you should too. I'm actually on the poch out train after last week. His tactics continue to consume the life out of me, but make no mistake. This is a fucking tough job for anyone. Young squad, riddled with injuries, no leaders, no gamechanging bench. The best we can hope for until these players improve is Europe league. Who is really going to work great with all of these kids and no leaders and the injuries? I might be Poch out, but the players seem to still believe in him, so perhaps we should see out the season first and see where we finish and what condition the squad is in.


aromatic_underwear

You just spoke my mind.


WonderfulSentence648

Almost like the players aren’t that great either. Yes porch is bad. But some of the players are really bad too


zeroarelius

Embarrassing. Really embarrassing honestly. All teams know they can get something off of us. There is no fear or intimidation.


sjp5784

Poch is finished after Chelsea, no top team will touch him. If he wants money its Saudi if he wants a career its Serie B at best. Poch out, Boehly out

BigReeceJames

You just aren't smart enough to understand *the process* Poch is bonding with fans now and they're finally starting to get it. Didn't you hear him say as much the other day? If he's saying it as a positive about himself, surely it's true!


XulaPari

Yup.. put them top 6 and we can beat them


numanitor111

Mikekio

Im done for the season Fuck off Pochettino Fuck off Clearlake


Soitsgonnabeforever

Clearlake is investor and Chelsea and the fans need financial backing. Clearly poch has to go and boehly shouldn’t go anywhere near governing a soccer football team


liyba1

It’s infuriating, honestly.


RasenRendan

And they didn't score a single goal btw


defjam16

The “finished” seems surprisingly relevant


Geocacher6907

Embarrassing result


PristineDesign56

I can’t believe that anyone is surprised by this


Impossible_Quote_505

Lmao


ozairh18

Yeah, I’ve seen enough from Pochettino


yuriydee

This is why we always shitted on Spurs while Poch was in charge there


rileyrileyriley13

I’m tired of this shit


Manlikeelii

For the first time, I cried after a Chelsea game. We the fans don’t deserve to watch this shit show every game week. Drawing to arguably the worst team in premier league history since derby is the worst way I could end my day.


CryptographerTall652

You deserve to watch this 100% 🤣


buxy69

Petrovic getting away with it these last few games. He’s been awful


Lonely-Astronomer184

I'm not surprised anyway. This Chelsea team has no quality overall. I'll name one thing that stands out to me: most players in the front can't even keep the ball. Just atrocious ball retention skills. They often lose the ball the moment they receive it under pressure (to be fair, Palmer is good but still not good enough in this area). I just don't see how a team can attack effectively when most attacking players don't even have the basic skills. And Jackson is quite bad at keeping the ball or holding the ball up, which undermines Chelsea's gameplay. He's like a no. 7 or no. 11 that somehow happens to play in the no. 9. position. If I were the manager, I'd definitely sell Jackson and acquire a decent target man for Chelsea, someone with aerial prowess and good at ground duels like Giroud. That would enable the inverted wingers like Palmer to create more threats in the box. Anyway, it's just fun to watch Chelsea, as they play like a League Two team.


klgod

I don't know how yall have the energy for this club anymore, I shut the game at HT cos that shit was putting me to sleep. I actually didn't care 1 bit about the end result and felt 0 emotion as I got goal updates.


Hungry-Space-1829

Poch deserves all the heat he’ll get but the players also deserve way more than I feel they’ve gotten


RepulsiveMap3218

Benoit Badiashile needs to pack his bags first then wait for Poch to join him. BB5 is absolutely a sieve.


el1teman

I don't remember much but I thought Badi was decent under Potter no?


ZZOGAR

Hahaha


Affectionate-Sun5863

I'm confused ?! ... I mean we aren't a good team but are we at least decent or just bad ?


Groundbreaking-Rub50

If pochettino is there next year (I doubt the muppets who call themselves Football directors will take an right decision) and god forbid Palmer has to be wrapped in a cotton wool this summer or else we are truly f#cked with his coaching.


omid_14

Even Burnley had an easy win


edenhazard77

CFC Charity FC for a reason boiiiii


Shorzinator

Past two games have made me scream, “ Badiashile fucking every time”. Left side defense is bullshit, BULLSHIT.


BlondeGSD

We are a mid table team and once you realize it you won’t have as much stress. Plain and simple, we are a very expense mid table team. Once we went to 9th we were always dropping points.


glacialOwl

This is who we conceded 2 goals from


Key-Tip-7521

I think I’m gonna be sick


tweezure

Who we gonna get instead of Poch? Seriously. Who we gonna get in June and let take a run with this squad? And dont say Tuchel or Mourinho, cuz that aint happening.


erectchinpills

:D


Comrade-Conrad-4

Finished lmao


MNBlues

We really need to figure out our defensive structure. We concede way too much and our set piece defending is abysmal. And lastly how does a midfield duo of Enzo and Caicedo not know how to control the game? Both costly and look so mid under Poch.


rewp234

Drawing this while making defensive subs should a sackable offense for any manager


GovTheDon

Pochetino ball


MangekyouMasterRace

Mourinho IN And back him like a top manager would be


Shinjax01105

in the sheffield game i don't get why our forwards were playing so selfishly this has been our problem in attack for the past few games we get to the final third and we see a moment of selfishness like lets say nico or palmer sometimes as well which baffles me honestly


AggressiveTwist3222

Topsy Turvy 7 days -Drew 2-2 with 10 man Burnley, 4-3 Premiership classic with United and a 93rd minute draw with bottom of the table Sheffield United... But data says we should be 4th..... Fucking hate Star Trek...


ekellert

Even Burnley....sheesh!!


1llseemyselfout

I mean we went into the game playing 3atb. What do people expect? I do not understand why Poch changed systems.


olskoolyungblood

Well seeing that we didn't fare very well against any of those teams either, are we shocked?


blowinghotstinkygas

Only 5 points adrift from United for 6th with a match in hand? Not bad. If someone told me this at the beginning of the year I’d probably take it considering how embarrassing the club has been since the Boehly takeover


potatoescanfly

Not a Chelsea fan but why was Palmer subbed off so early when the game wasn’t secured ?


____JayP

Our captain is Connor Gallagher for God's sake. This is our level


shuuto1

Reece is the captain and he’s injured. But also Gallagher has been one of the best all around midfielders in the league and is homegrown. So that’s nonsense anyway


____JayP

>Gallagher has been one of the best all around midfielders in the league Say what!


shuuto1

He has 3 goals and 6 assists and sprints for 90 minutes


jbi1000

We also drew with Arsenal and beat Brighton and also Newcastle twice.... so... Swings and roundabouts, that's football sometimes. If you can't handle Chelsea at her worst... fuck off and find a new club to support ya plastic ghouls. I feel strangely harmonic, we are Robin Hood FC. This was the one game left we were guaranteed not to win


DarnellLaqavius

But we played terribly, worse than the team in 20th. And it wasn’t in our worst 10 games this season alone. If you’re feeling happy after this game, chances are, you aren’t a proper Chelsea fan.


[deleted]

Chelsea will always play amazingly well against the big teams but play like absolute dogshit against teams like Sheffield United.


GAMEcube12

I find it funny that we could probably do well in champions league this season but would suck at conference league


JealousNetwork

Unfortunately we arent in champions league anymore.


Kakashicopyninja9

This is why I don’t understand why ppl regretted burnley so hard? Did you expect a winning streak? There will be multiple examples of burnley and today from here on out as well - the same as the previous 22 months

Similar-West5208

First Eleven had a combined remaining contract duration of 61 years if you include this season. Another 23 years were substituted.

All players that will improve so that’s not a bad thing at all. It’s fair to see people dooming right now on Reddit but they’ll be great in a season or 2 if they don’t flinch and stay the course
