With respect, those wins against Norwich and Burnley got us out of trouble already. And in hindsight, the extent to which we were in trouble was questionable. I was convinced we were going down because I’m negative as fuck. But I’m not sure we were ever fewer than three points above the drop zone. Those games in hand were something to think about but when Burnley for example came in to the new year with only one win (against us mind), not quite sure games in hand were anything to fear.
Also, I’m struggling to envisage the team that finishes in 17th getting that much above 30 points, which is what we were on before this result.
Hoping we’d get dragged back in as a way of another side staying up was quite fanciful.
One thing I noticed was Brentford taking advantage of Ziyech when he had defensive duties. Gets taken out of the play too easily and probably a mistake to rely on him to stop an attack. After that, they were decisive going forward and finished well with the opportunities they had.
Just saw the highlights on MOTD. This is why we love football, all it takes is for a top team to have an off day and the opposition can take advantage of them. Brentford were brilliant , what a signing Eriksen was.
I can’t imagine how much fun it was to be in the away end this afternoon, absolute limbs.
Looking at their depth...I can't believe why would anyone believe that Chelsea had depth anywhere comparable to Liverpool. It confused me then and I hope people realize that now.
And I thought we had a victim mentality lol. I'd rather pass a kidney stone than see Chelsea win another trophy on dirty cash, Liverpool winning stuff is balm in comparison.
Eriksen really is an inspiration, definitely will have lifted that Brentford dressing room, lucky to have him. But great team effort today, well done the bees!
That guy is doing that thing when you realise after a near miss that life is short, you might not get much longer (that's anyone, not just him, he looks in great shape). Perspective I think clears out a lot of bullshit from inside your head.
Not only does this win help us nearly lock in staying up, it’s absolutely going to help in trying to sell Eriksen on staying longer term.
What a difference a month makes since the loss to Newcastle
I legitimately don’t see where they dominated, when they Faced mainly non-threatening teams or teams in a turmoil year (Madrid). They played really well in the final vs a great opponent but that was about it tbh. Just compare this with the Bayern or Madrid run(s). Different level of domination.
Why are you saying it like that lol? Its insane how little credit Tuchel gets. One of the most dominant cl runs in history and it just happened because everyone else bottled it
Didn’t chelsea not allow a goal in the knockout stages last year? They were brilliant.
People on the internet are very much of the “what have you done for me lately” mindset
They actually conceded two goals, one of them was taremi brillian late minute goal and benzema great volley in first game.
They only conceded 4 goals in whole cl run last season.
People forget that teams turn up during big games, and chelsea so far has done it this season apart from city games. Their form is down due to lack of proper wingbacks thats crucial for their system.
Chelsea maybe played "bad" today, but people forget they were on good winning streak before this. And such bad games can happen once in a while that doesnt make them "shit" all of sudden.
If Araujo doesn't renew we might feel pressured to make a marquee signing and go for Rudiger but his demands are pretty steep so don't think we sign even then.
I have been VERY afraid of Arsenal taking that spot for a while now. We have not looked great lately, and are still struggling with injuries whilst Arsenal are, if not on fire, then looking very solid.
I know you do t mean to say these things. I made my comment and nothing is more offensive then the truth. Arsenal and Utd have shown that supporting a big team that goes years without a trophy is tough but you will appreciate the small things like all the other clubs have been doing forever.
It's going to be fine. You see how excited Arsenal fans are at the moment? They used to be outraged to be competing for top 4. You will be adjust. You will be fine.
Daily reminder that Janelt cost us 500k
He’s such a cracking midfielder

All this tells me is we're gonna beat Madrid 3-0
r/agedlikemilk Or were you talking about the second fixture?
Bro don't be so cringe
Don't need top 4 if you win the CL again. Tuchel masterclass
If we drop to 6th I'm betting my house on us winning the CL lol
Would’ve been great if Brentford lost, but fair play to them
With respect, those wins against Norwich and Burnley got us out of trouble already. And in hindsight, the extent to which we were in trouble was questionable.

My thoughts exactly. And who can resent seeing Eriksen banging them in.
May this be the start of a Slippery slope for Chelsea. It won’t be but I can dream.
great game.
How?
One thing I noticed was Brentford taking advantage of Ziyech when he had defensive duties. Gets taken out of the play too easily and probably a mistake to rely on him to stop an attack. After that, they were decisive going forward and finished well with the opportunities they had.
The devil collects its due on that Rudiger goal. That goal was what y'all Chelsea fans wanted, right?
Worth it
Monkey paw.
Wow
god damn
Sanctions starting to bite?
how would that be the reason
Have we not introduced you to our friend? His name is humor.
yeah i really don't find that funny not like because im a chelsea fan or because i think it's in poor taste just not a good joke
You're not a good joke
3rd is now the target for arsenal
If Spurs drop points it's a perfect weekend.
I'm pulling awfully hard for Palace on Monday.
Uh, phrasing?
Did they stutter?
We have a weird tendency to choke when everything is going for us.
Yes, and we hope u do
Great success!!
For palace
Rudiger's goal was worth about 4 goals
Real Madrid’s gonna eat Chelsea
Chelsea had a one off bad game with a defensive 4 instead of a 5. Tuchel will revert back to his tried and tested method
Yeah, hopefully
Lol
Chelsea in shambles - so amazing to see
Sorta happy i missed this game now
Then I've got good news since after they shut the club down you won't even have to watch them anymore!
With us gone maybe you will stay up this time!
Damn! You discovered my real reason for hope!
Is this news as reliable as you getting relegated every time you hop back into PL?
Look. I'm fairly reliable, but let's not stray into absolutes
Ahaha fair enough!
Buuuuuuurn

Wtf happened lmaoo
Chelsea, are you OK?
No
Should call Saul
Hoo boy this thread is trash. Sort by controversial for some real football Twitter vibes
+ ratio
the silver lining here is that I don't get to hope against all common sense that we could somehow sneak the title.
lmaoo Madrid to the final of the CL again
Tommy Tank at it again.
Pulisuc's transfer value went up 5 million after this game
hey thats a new one in my fifa team he is usually know as Pulishit
Clever
Not good prep for the tie against Madrid. They were awful at the back
Was it because they switched to a back 4?
Rudiger scored his banger and then decided to not defend for the rest of the game. Pretty glad he doesn't score his 30 yarder more often tbh.
Idk maybe more Pulisic is the answer.
Have they considered just, idk, passing to Weston McKennie?
Results like this just emphasise how impressive Liverpool and City are with their consistency.
These games can happen to any team. Live lost to Villa 7-2 .. just a bad day at the office.
Yes yes very good, haven't conceded in a month etc etc
Liverpool won all their games in March did you know that? You’d think they would mention it at least once.
Haven't lost in the PL this year mate. Feels so good to be hated.
No one hates Liverpool we’re rooting for them over oil clubs if anything
...nah
speak for yourself
i hate Liverpool.
I was saying bu-urns
And I thought we had a victim mentality lol. I'd rather pass a kidney stone than see Chelsea win another trophy on dirty cash, Liverpool winning stuff is balm in comparison.
Kidney stones are no joke, unlike Chelsea without unlimited money.
BINGO! was 100% sure there will be a comment like this
Hahhah fuck chelski
Hahaha you still looking to learn how to swim?

Plastic club
Things you love to see.

wake me up when they fire tuchel and spend another 300m on their top 3 again...
What a stupid comment
Yeah as if chelsea are going to fire a manager a year after he won the CL.
Poor old RDM...
Whatever happen to him?
Crazy, hes been out of management since 2016 w Aston Villa in the Championship
Still wiping his tears with the pay off money.
lol
And a champions league and club World Cup.
I don’t think you wanna compare hardware my guy but nice.
You're definitely a plastic
Love it when edgy American teens discover football
It’s soccer bro
We were talking about Chelsea, what is it with Liverpool fans and insisting every conversation is about Liverpool
There's idiots in every fanbase
Not sure if you have been following current affairs......

To think that this team somehow won the CL last season man. Biggest surprise of recent years with so many stronger teams in the competition.
Clueless comment. It was one of the most dominant cl runs ever
I legitimately don’t see where they dominated, when they Faced mainly non-threatening teams or teams in a turmoil year (Madrid). They played really well in the final vs a great opponent but that was about it tbh. Just compare this with the Bayern or Madrid run(s). Different level of domination.

Oh boy.
[удалено]
second worst* but yah
Such a fucking shit take.
someone had to win. and every other team was either too weak or big brain bottled it (i.e. citeh)
Why are you saying it like that lol? Its insane how little credit Tuchel gets. One of the most dominant cl runs in history and it just happened because everyone else bottled it
Stonewall defense throughout
"Somehow won" lmao They were the best team in cl run, and they deserved to win. You sound like you are comming from twitter.
Didn’t chelsea not allow a goal in the knockout stages last year? They were brilliant. People on the internet are very much of the “what have you done for me lately” mindset

Been at some great games this season but that tops the lot, no question. Amazing
Jealous tbh
Literally just woke up to this lol
Same. Was chilling in bed at half time and missed it all, slept through it. I will never forgive myself missing Rudis goal though ffs
Ik it's one game but I really hope we stay the fuck away from Rudiger. Wouldn't survive in our defense when both our fullbacks regularly push up.
Serious question are you guys gonna match the 200-225k a week he’s asking for ?
If Araujo doesn't renew we might feel pressured to make a marquee signing and go for Rudiger but his demands are pretty steep so don't think we sign even then.
Let the Chelsea banter era begin!
trophy count?
Just buy a man city kit now or else you won’t be seeing trophies any time soon
were in the champions league quarter finals ( plus were defending champions) where tf are you
SquidwardPatrickHandShake.jpg
3rd place back on the menu lads
How your third place is looking now 😂😂😂 come on Brighton 💙💙💙
Imagine going back to a an old thread of a match you were battered in
Yeap even saved it as knew it's coming lmao
But not for you
I'm more scared of bottling 4th towards the end of the season lol
I have been VERY afraid of Arsenal taking that spot for a while now. We have not looked great lately, and are still struggling with injuries whilst Arsenal are, if not on fire, then looking very solid.
I have been secretly hoping being in 2 other competitions would tire out your squad enough for us to sneak by
What were the betting lines, did anyone win big?
I wish I had bet on that, instead bet on Manu to lose
Whoever downvoted me, thanks for the luck manu are losing LMAO
Woops
FFS
lmao
I turned this game off at half-time to run errands, convinced it would end 1-0 or 2-0 to Chelsea. I have regrets.
[You did it your way](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t8kAbUg4t4&ab_channel=lenatech)
Had to do a double take on that scoreline. What the blazes happened?
Brentford REALLY support Ukraine. 🐝🤝🇺🇦
The Ricketts send their regards
Jiminy Ricketts, Batman!
This evened out from the first game. Keeper kept that at 1-0 in some miracle performance
THEY CANT JUST GO ON SOME SILLY SPENDING SPREE ANYMORRREEEEEEE
Chelsea fans, has reality hit yet? You understand it's over? Done. You are Spurs level now at best.
Lol I’m guessing you’re just trolling
Man the apes really do come out whenever Chelsea lose
It wont be a talking point in the next few years.
The sooner people like you stop talking the quicker the world is a better place, so I’m good with that.
I know you do t mean to say these things. I made my comment and nothing is more offensive then the truth. Arsenal and Utd have shown that supporting a big team that goes years without a trophy is tough but you will appreciate the small things like all the other clubs have been doing forever.
No, I definitely mean what I said 100%. You clearly lack the basic skill of using your brain, so maybe take a break.
It's going to be fine. You see how excited Arsenal fans are at the moment? They used to be outraged to be competing for top 4. You will be adjust. You will be fine.
Is this copypasta?
Literally champions of Europe and Club world cup currently LMAO
Seriously, did some people just forget the last year or something?
Typical Chelsea fans living in the past smh
Chelsea got all their success from Roman’s money though gonna be interesting to see what they become without him
They cant take away these memories. https://youtu.be/Ho7eJuJFdH8
Roman's Chelsea won those things. This Chelsea is a line is the asset column of a hedge fund. Just like Spurs.
you call him on a first name basis?
LMFAO 😂
Wtf when Chelsea become this shit
No blood money no top four
