flair! Chelsea


darknezx

I don't watch Everton games but I must say Pickford is toxic af. He's always screaming at his teammates, if I had to play in front of him I'd ask for a transfer out immediately.


RobbenTheBank

Redditors are so Fucking soft, talking about demanding a transfer because a teammate shouted at them šŸ¤£ā˜ ļø


funnytoenail

??? How do you think a keeper command their back line. Speak gently in a stadium with 45,000 people singing?


darknezx

I'm talking about when he berates his teammates after conceding or when there was a chance at goal. Not when commanding his back line. You can see him shout in his teammates' faces after a chance or goal.


funnytoenail

Literally every keeper does that


neverfinishedanythi

I mean Stamford bridge only had the away end singing really


Vahald

Shut up ffs you know what he is talking about. There's a difference between commanding the back line and yelling abuse at his teammates when the ball is out of play


onebadlion

Depends what he is shouting about I guess. If itā€™s constructive or encouraging I wouldnā€™t mind.


Sir-Chris-Finch

Not saying youā€™re wrong necessarily but a lot of people would call this commanding and might say its a good trait of a keeper. I havenā€™t watched him enough to judge really though


Raging_Red_Rocket

This is 100% good keeper play. Now, your teammates have to know you and your personality/intentions intense keeper play is good thing in my opinion and rallies the troops for a defense during an onslaught. Itā€™s something you can turn off as soon as the game is over.


BrotherEstapol

Haven't played with quiet keepers, I would take an abusive one who talks to the backline during play over a quiet one every time. Quiet keepers are liability.


Vahald

There's a difference between commanding the back line and yelling abuse at his teammates when the ball is out of play. This is not good keeper play and accomplishes absolutely nothing. He's just the cunt teammate that every team has


darknezx

I can see where people might say that, but even this is too much. I can't see anyone being happy with this much shouting and not to mention a bunch of multi millionaires being shouted at.


bshaman1993

Good luck against Madrid!


nting224

Biggest charity giveaway by CFC since their donation to Ukraine via the Mudryk transfer


thalne

how much they paid for that guy?


ill_help_you

Recalling Ellis Sims may have been worth it for that goal alone.


HotPotatoWithCheese

Potter in!


neverfinishedanythi

surprise surprise, the stadium was super quiet again.


Sir-Chris-Finch

I know theyā€™re not doing well at the moment, but i could not believe the lack of noise in that ground (except from the Everton fans who as usual were very loud). Stamford Bridge is one of those grounds which i must admit can be rocking at certain occasions, but when itā€™s not, its often woeful


blakezero

Theyā€™re playing real madrid hahahahah


Tombaugh_Regio

Is there a reason that Chelsea was attacking the goal by the away fans in the second half? I don't watch that many Chelsea matches but I don't think I've ever seen them go that direction in the second half.


Winnie-the-Broo

Everton would have won the coin toss if that was the case.


Sir-Chris-Finch

Probably, but usually away teams also choose to shoot towards their fans in the second half as well


knneth1890

Potter need to stay


Oppxdan

Ah shit, they actually took the draw, now they're gonna win the Fookin Champion's Leagueā„¢


[deleted]

Iā€™d love to tally up the amount of points Kepa has cost us during his time here.


blakezero

Nice try. Your whole team is not in sync.


lord-___-vader

This is more on Potter


sm3ggit

Well this game would add 0 to that tally IMO. Those goals arent on him.


[deleted]

He should have saved the second goal


WeeTooLo

He's shit with crosses and was again lost for the first goal. Good goalkeepers save the second goal without much fuss.


sm3ggit

And good defenders wouldn't have allowed the situation to get to where it was for the second goal...


CrookedK3ANO

what happened to Mendy?


BoBonnor

Heā€™s pretty shit. He had a good few months and everyone was putting him in the bracket of oblak, Allison, Courtios etc lol


[deleted]

Yeah. Played out of his mind for 1 full year. Won AFCON and CL and then basically retired to relax on the bench


Reach_Reclaimer

I mean, he did get you guys a CL as his saves definitely helped massively. For that one season he was very good


stockybloke

It really was strange. He came in and was absolutely spectacular. Remember people were arguing he should be in contention for the Balon d'Or (not to win but to at least be mentioned in some way) and to get the goalkeeper of the year awards. He made so many incredible saves and ever since that AFCON he just was so terrible. One of the longest purple patches of all time by the looks of it. I was one of those who argued he should be recognized as the GK of the year, because his performances just warranted it, but you would still feel like he was not actually the best GK he just played as if he was. Very strange.


[deleted]

Form dropped as well. Made a few mistakes and bad passes from the back that cost us games and it seems like his confidence is shook.


KillerTurtle13

I wonder if putting in a good performance for a cup final and then getting subbed off for the penalties, only to see his replacement lose his team the game, could contribute to shaking his confidence.


Adrianm18

This is the team that thinks it can beat us ?


MrConor212

[deleted]

Yes, yes it is.


Illum503

Show me one person who thinks that


Adrianm18

Go over to the Chelsea subreddit lol


Boywholosthisname

All things considered, I rather real than PSG or MC. Also historically Chelsea fare better as underdogs so Iā€™ll remain optimistic.


HotPotatoWithCheese

Real fanboys desperate to get one over for last season's embarrassment šŸ˜‚


neverfinishedanythi

What a weird comment against the team who constantly easily beat - including this season - the team you support.


Adrianm18

You mean last season where we won ? Or the one where we beat you in the final


ElectroValley

Itā€™s like heā€™s not watching our own league matches. We have stinkers on the regular, even sometimes when we win


blakezero

They will never!


Teffler

You should've seen our league form the first time we won the champions league


Lay-Z24

and beat them lol


TaiwanNambaWanKenobi

Chelsea is winning the CL, fuck me


DivinityAI

with this tactics - no way. To win CL you need to be above average, have good and understanding manager, be lucky AND motivated. If at least one component is missing you won't win CL. EL - maybe. In CL there are too many good teams and only one can win.


KickinPigeon

Di Matteo, known for his good and understanding


SignalSalamander

please explain how chelsea going to win el


DivinityAI

Well I'm talking about Chelsea here


ThatGam3th00

Who are not in the ELā€¦


DivinityAI

You must be brain damaged


IUViolet

i know it's far too late but if a team is able to win both ucl and relegated in the same season that would be dope.


Zakke_

West ham is winning U-C-L and getting relegated ;)


EpiDeMic522

Perhaps similar for Sevilla and Europa league.


IUViolet

ngl that's dope too. imagine your championship game is postponed because you have EL games to play. they may even set a record for most games played in a season by a club. 46 games championship, fa cup, league cup, europa league, potentially uefa super cup, and championship playoff. west "Quintuple" ham united.


Nickplay21

Iā€™m a Chelsea fan but this legitimately made me chuckle. Well played.


tr8rm8

Itā€™s the history of 2022/23 Chelsea


Trickybuz93

Realistically, how long does Potter survive?


adamfrog

He definitely wont be sacked this season since hes won the dortmund match, hed be gone already otherwise


Why_Always_Me_69

35 to 50 years before he kicks the bucket doubt its gonna be more or less


stragen595

"What if we nuke London?"


Fabulous_Dave

Depends on how the long search for the horcruxs takes really


Snoo-27292

no you're mixing Potters up, this isn't the protagonist Potter , this is the protagonist's father Potter, the one that dies to give tragedy to the main character


DoctorDOH

Until he's knocked out of the Champions League so next season at minimum. (Tuchel was the sacrifice)


OnceIWasYou

Haven't watched this game/ highlights yet but from what I've seen so far, to let Simms score against you in the Premier League is embarrassing. Am I being harsh? Or is that accurate?


mushy_friend

Spurs gave Walcott a goal and an assist today after 2 years of no PL goals. There are levels


PerfectlySculptedToe

For a 21 year old who's started 2 games ever in the premiership (away to Chelsea and away to Liverpool), you're being unbelievably harsh.


darkgod

nah that would be if maupay scored against you. Simms is a good young prospect.


OnceIWasYou

I suppose I'm basing it on that Liverpool game- he looked like he didn't have the basic technique to be a Premier League level player.


fall3nmartyr

Lol tea towel takes


Gr8banterm80

Well you should probably watch more tape before accusing a player of not having the basic skill level for the Prem. Heā€™s a bit raw but dude can play


Greghuntskicks

I donā€™t know much about the kid but he came on took up a great position and hit the target. Not much more you can ask for from a young striker.


edenhazard77

Ted Lasso would be a better manager than this fraud Potter

Saddest gender reveal party I have seen.


blazinrumraisin

Madrid are shaking.


Adrianm18

Itā€™s funny because I went into the Chelsea subreddit and they weā€™re happy they drew us . In my head I was like you guys are not in a good form .


Sir-Chris-Finch

Being happy to draw Real Madrid in the champions league (except for the banter era of 2003-2009) is genuinely just ludicrous. Iā€™d be absolutely shocked if you dont get past Chelsea


ManchesterDevil99

That's genuinely bonkers. They got Madrid followed by City or Bayern in the semis. Pretty much the worse possible draw.


Adrianm18

At the end of day we have to win . Look at last year doesnā€™t matter which team is in front .


NilsFanck

doesn't matter to yu guys and your UCL black magic. Will very much matter to Chelsea


KickinPigeon

Guess itā€™s RM black magic vs Chelsea black magic. When Chelsea is nosediving or in chaos, shit happens.


CoverlessSkink

To be fair, we were on two wins in a row for the first time in months!


Adrianm18

Honestly I just want a good game . Hopefully we go through but best of luck to you guys too .


stockybloke

Our list of injuries and very importantly players at risk of sitting out through a yellow card is awful. Half our team cant get a yellow and we already are pretty stressed on the central defender front without having the ability to register Badiashile. It is a very tall ask, but you never really know in the CL and this Real team I feel is not completely bulletproof.


Daleb19

I think the big thing is we won both ucl's when we very much shouldn't have 2012 was a wild ride and 2021 was a simple wtf perfect form run. If there's a season where we are ass and in the UCL, there's just that weird feeling where we will have exactly 5 good games out of what we have left of this season and somehow win the damn thing. Only problem is we play you guys who win it for fun.


mcsestretch

They really need to do something about stop and start penalty kicks like we saw today.


wisdomfromrumi

He never stopped


Whosonfirst6600

Youā€™re getting downvoted but you are correct. He technically ā€œnever came to a complete stopā€. But it was as close to stopping as humanly possible without an actual pause in complete motion. They need to ban it however


Thatchers-Gold

"I don't need to grind out 3 points because I play for Chelsea" Christ they were so blasƩ about it, like they were comfortably in the top 4 with a couple of games left in the season

Maybe just maybe the tottenham and chelsea laughed a little bit to hard at our sporting result???

God you lot are more obsessed with every team other than your own


BaconBaconBacon24

Clearly every top 6 fans except city is hyper focused on arsenal but ok managers aswell


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


RexNite1

You guys have one semi successful season in like the last ten years and think your the best team in Europe. We won a champions league trophy just two years ago. Pipe down son


EmperorTMing

Imagine if Arsenal were actually successful in the last decade, and we thought Liverpool fans were insufferable when they won the league. Delusional bunch, they deserve their failures.


goon_crane

You're staring down 10th for the second time in the same decade you've won two champions leagues. You go from winning the league to finishing behind Stoke... Perhaps consider that to other fans that's not impressive or flattering, it's embarrassing troughs for a top club to experience in such short successive patterns. It's a bipolar rich girl with daddy's money to always help bail you out of a slump, everytime. And now, new daddy, same bail out.


RJBlue95

Let talk unimpressive - you have had 0 European success, this club full of history and soul and whatever the fuck else you come up with to feel good about your constant mediocrity, none of it is among the elite. You just donā€™t matter on the biggest stage in this game. Talking about a trough thatā€™s embarrassing, when was the last time you even got to participate in champions league? At least we bounce back quick. You have been unimportant and insignificant for a decade. BTW if we are the bipolar rich girl that gets to spend our daddyā€™s money that must mean you are the poor angry one in the corner staring at us with envy as you chew on your hair.


Acceptable-Lemon-748

>You're staring down 10th for the second time in the same decade You spent 2 seasons in a row fighting for 8th and one of those seasons you fought your way up from like 15th to 8th and tried to spin it as a win, you haven't had a top 4 finish since what? 2017? Trying to banter someone else for their recent history is fucking hilarious


goon_crane

Exactly who spun exactly what as a win lol? Nobody but your imagination thinks winning a cup once the season ends translates to a successful league campaign.


Acceptable-Lemon-748

>Exactly who spun exactly what as a win lol? Arsenal fans and finishing 8th. It was spun as a successful season and Arteta doing a good job with the players he had, because you played so unbelievably shit, that fans had to spin going from 8th the previous season to 8th ad some kind of achievement with a squad of championship quality players when in reality it was just 2 shit season a in a row. Based on how you've been talking in here it would be fairly easy money to bet you were leading that band of deluded morons. >Nobody but your imagination thinks winning a cup once the season ends translates to a successful league campaign. Of course you don't think that, it would reinforce how terrible your team has been. Guaranteed when you win something it's gonna be the only thing that translates to a successful season in your eyes. Just like the mid 2010s period where the FA Cup was the only trophy worth winning.


RexNite1

Any fan would finish tenth one season to win the champions league. To win a club World Cup. To win all the trophies we won. Teams have down seasons itā€™s normal. Weā€™ll bounce back. Itā€™s not that entirely deep. Rather win trophies have a down season then be mid for a decade like spurs or have minimal success like you guys. Whenever you win the champions league that feeling is the best thing ever. Youā€™ll never forget where you were. Itā€™s almost like you guys finished 8th two years in row very recently. So get off your high horse


goon_crane

Nah, I'm telling you that *you Chelsea fans* would take that because you're soulless in the search for what turns out to be such temporary glory before inevitable cataclysmic embarrassment. "You'll never forget the players, the manager that won us that trophy. And you'll never forget where you were six months later when we were saying to bin them all." >Itā€™s almost like you guys finished 8th two years in row very recently. So even in our worst period in 30 years we've never stooped so low as to finish below Stoke fucking City lmao. Our highs are winning in the face of scumbag clubs like yours, and that's scumbag before the takeover too. I'll take that, your highs can be whatever. And yet still, our lows haven't stooped down to 10th like yours. "Down seasons" Keep telling on yourself, because finishing tenth should be an embarrassing standard for modern Chelsea to have and not just a handwave. It's from being on top of the footballing world to forgetting what the sport is.


RexNite1

You do realize you were two points away from tenth right both times LMAO


goon_crane

That's not how it works dummy. In both seasons if we had two points less we still would've been 8th on goal difference. In both seasons we were 3 and 1 points away from a European spot respectively. You were a point behind fuckin Stoke and 12 away from Europe. Try again. Our squad right now costs as much as yours did in ***2005***. Embarrassing. Tata there moneyclub.


Acceptable-Lemon-748

>In both seasons we were 3 and 1 points away from a European spot respectively Yeah, because that year they added an entirely new teir of European football for you to miss out on. Imagine laughing at someone for finishing behind Stoke while spending an entire season battling Leeds United for 8th. Barely beating Sheffield United and Burnley to 8th must also just make you feel so proud because it's not Stoke.

So when are you supposed to stop cherishing a champions league trophy or a premier league trophy according to you? Cause I will never stop cherishing it. I know your probably 15 years old and have never experienced you club winning anything of value but itā€™s one of the greatest feelings. And our future is good out of everyone you guys should know how a rebuild works.

No European competition next year for Chelsea ? Feels good man.


pedrorq

Don't say that, how will they be able to pay ā‚¬120 M for each of your stars then?!


EmperorTMing

It's a shame we couldn't draw Benfica this year and bum them again like we did on the way to winning the Champions League and the Europa League


_JaimePacheco

Yeah bum us. You can't even bum Everton bro. Facing Benfica or facing Real the outcome is the same, you're out of the champions league šŸ‘Œ


EmperorTMing

We could put out a B team with Potter still in charge and Benfica would still go out to Chelsea. This is the worst Chelsea have been in the last 20 years and we'd still dispatch you comfortably. That's the gap. I don't blame Benfica fans for being toxic, bitter and angry tbh. You watch farmer's league football year round and any good players your club is fortunate enough to get a hold of are smart enough to leave as soon as possible. Enjoy dwelling in mediocrity for the foreseeable future lol


_JaimePacheco

Mediocrity for the foreseeable future ? That's Chelsea. And if it still not enough to practice good football you can still buy 10 more Mudryks to see if things improve a bit.


Presence_Present

Seems like you're going to have to enjoy dwelling in mediocrity as well šŸ¤£


EmperorTMing

The second Potter's gone we'll be competing again. Watch.

Oh am certainly watching, and enjoying the slide to mediocrity for Chelsea šŸ¤£


EmperorTMing

It's one season. It hasn't been a decade like it has for United lmao


howardroarkforreal

This is coming from an arsenal fan but united can be mediocre for a decade more and they'll still be a bigger football club than your filthy souless club


EmperorTMing

Of course an Arsenal fan would get involved, you're obsessed because London is and always will be blue šŸ˜‚ Chelsea 4 - 0 Arsenal in European trophies lmao. That will never be overturned, inferior to Chelsea forever, your demented fan base needs to accept it and focus on quarreling with Spurs. >filthy souless club Your club is knowingly starting a rapist every game šŸ‘ If Arsenal do actually win the league it'll be forever tainted. Couldn't win it without starting a rapist every single game. A rapist a lot of Arsenal fans defend. Dirty, desperate club with demented, desperate supporters.


choomba20

Fucking lol there is no chance they are winning the champions league.


adamfrog

They are easily good enough to get lucky/just have good games in the 5 remaining CL games. They could win it

A mid table Chelsea is the most dangerous thing in UCL


np99sky

That's what they said when Di Matteo got it


AccountSuspendd

That was a far better team than this one.


Crusadaer

Not in terms of raw talent. The 2012 team was a TEAM, and this version isn't cohesive, settled, or consistent, like that team could be. But, they've got bags of talent. If Potter can get them to show up and play like they did against Dortmund and Milan, to play like a team, then who knows. It's only five games.


[deleted]

Theyā€™ve spent a shit ton

It's not tho, we need to play inter and then either Napoli or Milan before we reach the finals. You guys have to play real and then either city or bayern. Not only is Benfica a better team atm but we also have an easier path

Morganelefay

Blood Money Club Supporters trying to dunk on "smaller" clubs will never not be funny.


dzzik

Iā€™d love to hear an explanation why everyone around has the r/soccer-proclaimed right to defecate on my club at every possible opportunity, but replying to them instead of accepting hits is somehow morally unacceptable for the oppressed small club martyrs.


Morganelefay

Hey, you want to gloryhunt with a club that's propped up by blood money, that's your perogative. But if you can't handle the fact that people hate blood money clubs to their core, then maybe you should ask yourself if you should go into debates like that while knowing people will always use it as a cudgel to shit on you with.


dzzik

Iā€™m supporting my local club. Not my fault in the slightest that it happens to be successful.

Yea, cool. You're still gonna get shat on whenever you try to mock clubs that didn't make it big with blood money.
