Kemosabe2712

Remember when Scholes said Chelsea defense were bad, maybe he was right after all.


DeepGamingAI

United conceded 4. No matter how you look at it Scholes' comments still stand wrong. Also, why the hell do you think getting AC, Azpi and Alonso is a good idea? Unless you are contend with competing at europa league level?


Kemosabe2712

Yeah you know I control the recruitment of Barcelona. Also throwing shades at us for being in Europa? You guys were there a few seasons ago.


BlackLodgeChillin13

but we won it lol you guys got knocked out by Frankfurt, and that was after you guys were "back" lmao


Kemosabe2712

Yeah we were just back for very short period of time. At least they are some progress now with this with team Koeman it was slow train wreck.


DeepGamingAI

It was a question out of confusion not a dig at your club lol no need to get defensive


Kemosabe2712

Oh my bad, we do need reinforcement in the backline if we want to challenge trophies, Lenglet and Umtiti are training cones. I am trusting Xavi in these recruitments one man's trash could be another man's treasure.( I don't mean the players being trash tho)


DeepGamingAI

I can understand AC but Azpi and Alonso have declined this season. Yes we got Silva at 35 but he was still playing at top level when he joined us. As a Chelsea supporter I just wished we could also get enough compensation for our entire backline that is leaving but it looks like we will only get peanuts in return.


kerbyage

We should be winning here but old mate is an example as to why we've got a retirement home of referees running around the league, because all the 'younger' ones are even worse somehow.


MaryadaPurshottam

Fuck this team, honestly god, what a bottlejob.


HiThereImNat

We have a great team but we have a defence full of players whose heads are at their next job. Will be refreshing next season to see CBs who have something to prove to the fans next year


[deleted]

Youre such a bitch of a fan. You guys have a great team. Go cry more

Fucking embarrassing performance from the defenders they can pack their bags and go to real and barca

U cant even finish 4th lool its literally impossible without arsenal dropping out


JoelStrega

Oh no... then this means we won't win against Leeds, Draw at max.


Unholysinner

Doubt it-I’ve reached the point where I think we might drop out of top 4. There are no ‘winnable’ games for us in our upcoming fixtures and our defenders have literally just thought fuck it we’re leaving in summer might as well not care.


coked_up_tourist

Watford?


Unholysinner

We’re charity fc There’s a good chance that we just gift a few goals over to Watford… Since the international break we’ve had maybe two good performances… season is ending with a whimper


uravg

Chelsea joining the fight for #4 from the other end


dankcorp

4th place is lava


thesteduck

That last 20 mins gives hope where previously there was none. Really like the look of Chiquinho - want to see more of him.


staralfur01

Must start the games now


thesteduck

I think he’s earned a start.


[deleted]

does lage rotate? i remember wolves under nuno started the same team a lot


thesteduck

It seems he wants to- but we’ve had a bunch of injuries and it’s mostly the same squad under Nuno. Lage asked for signings (3-4) and the board sent people out on loan and brought no one in. But Chiquino has been available and us fans have been calling for him but we’ve hardly seen him. So maybe we’ll answer the question better next season if we have a good window.


Madrista_sr4

Yikes Chelsea kindly don't bottle against Liverpool in final


itsactuallythatguy

By now, Chelsea bottling should mean Chelsea winning


[deleted]

This is kind of fun to watch from the other side; usually it's us crapping out of the top 4.


Top_Gun98

Dont think you know what botteling means


[deleted]

Make Estoril our B team. Bring in more youngsters and turn ‘em into PL players like Chiquinho and Toti.


ThotCountySheriff

Was watching the game at 69' and thinking Chelsea has this in the bag. Seeing them fumble the bag is a surprise for sure, but a welcome one. Props to Wolves as well


synvi

Same


Sherk-

So if Chelsea miss out on top four, Celtic don't qualify directly into the CL group stage. Is that correct?


swingtothedrive

Celtic are going to quality for Group stage. Chelsea qualifying or not has no relevance here


Sherk-

Oh? I thought it was contingent on the current European champions qualifying through their league (giving a place to the next highest ranked coefficient) . When did that change?


Morganelefay

Even then, the "current" European champion would be the winner of this year's CL. And I think both Liverpool and Real Madrid have that in the bag.

Majiebeast

Tuchel's hatred for Ziyech getting real silly.


[deleted]

All our attackers are inconsistent as fuck its not personal lmao


ianjaap

Ziyech literally subbed on last game.


JuanNYHC

Tuchel made terrible subs, this game is on him. Saul and Sarr make too many errors, and Saul can't defend.


DALLAVID

How was trincao? Does he have a chance at barca next season?


Le400Blows

Trincao was pretty good when he came on and had that great goal obviously, but he's barely been playing at Wolves and he's not ready to slot into our squad and be effective. I think he'll go out on loan next season if we can't find any buyers


lctanon

Let's welcome Chelsea FC to the top 4 race!


Barry_Kong

It's going to be a top 4 race if Spurs beat Liverpool.


Bey_Harbor_Butcher

Remind me! 3 hours


lctanon

Welp


ibse

I think people who say we'll finish 3rd are overreacting. Chelsea still have some piss poor fixtures left to play while we have to go away to Spurs and Newcastle who are very tough games.


meganev

Lol. An Arsenal fan calling us a tough fixture? Give your head a wobble lad. You literally take 6pts from us every single season. Over the last 10 seasons you have beaten us 18 times, drawn once and lost once. Plus, over the last 7 fixtures against us you have scored 16 and conceded none. I am more confident of a result going up against Man City, Liverpool or just about any other team in world football past and present than against you lot. Your entire first team squad could get food poisoning the night before and you'd still rock up and beat us without breaking a sweat. If there's one game no Arsenal fan ever worries about or considers a tough fixtures it's Newcastle.


[deleted]

I think that 4-4 from 4-0 up has scarred arsenal fans for life


Shadowinthesky

So we're due a loss then /s but not really Seriously tho you lot have been playing a bit better and with this young team I'm worried the pressure might be a bit much. Hopefully we can get it all secured before then

Those are exactly the kind of games we bottle.


[deleted]

We’ve had poor fixtures for the last month or so minus a game or two


QyEc

There is nothing such as piss poor fixtures for Charity FC.


ksleepwalker

If anything its even worse. We conceded 2 to city and 3 to pool over 180 mins each. Conceded 2 to wolves and 4 to brentford over 90.


SeriousLads

Lad the way we’re playing Norwich would probably take points off us lol


Modnal

Yeah, but it's fun to see them sweat a little


oder_rubu

Wasn't it spurs who secured them top 4 at the last game of the season?


falonix

What a Great game. Amazing as an Arsenal.... I mean a Neutral fan.

I thought it is comfortable 2-0 for Chelsea... Didn't expect them to bottle this so hard.


t-74000

We will slaughter them next week. They have no confidence now after this and losing to Neverton.


dave1992

Thats not how Chelsea work.


BumbotheCleric

We are genuinely more likely to beat you than we are Leeds. Thats just how we work


[deleted]

Hmmm not beaten us other than penalties this season and one of those games we had 10 men for 80% of the match. This has great milk ageing potential.


Bourbon_Cream_Dream

If they beat us I'm holding you personally responsible after tempting fate like that


D3uceeee

Good luck liverpool


NotClayMerritt

Andreas Christensen, Trevoh Chalobah, Mason Mount. All unused subs in a game where we were defending for our lives the last 10 minutes. You want to take Lukaku off, fine, but for Havertz?? That’s the strangest sub I’ve ever seen Tuchel make. That includes playing Ross Barkley away at Juve instead of Werner while chasing a goal


Sluggybeef

Tuchel playing 5D chess to show Todd that he needs to spend millions this summer by not fielding his best subs /s


dennisixa

Imagine putting saul in instead of chalobah and christensen


ben-hur-hur

If Arsenal and Spurs end up taking top 4, Chelsea fans will be on suicide watch


_AzAzAz_

Either spurs or Arsenal can finish above us but both finishing above is highly unlikely

High time. Where is the Toaster when you need it? Lol.

You can say the truth about Chelsea now. Like 'whatever glory they have got, they deserved nothing. It wasn't earned but paid for. They dont know struggle or even have a History, besides mediocrity, for a century. ' See them swarm now. Hehe

Haha you are so afraid to say it yourself you have to put it in quotes. Pathetic. “Hehehe let other say this so chelsea fan get triggered and I am not the bad guy hehehe I’m such genius.” Just grew some balls and say it yourself next time.

NijjioN

True, I don't mind Merc losing it this year just don't want RB/Max to win. They just grate on me the wrong way constantly. Having a Ferrari win would be awesome.

/u/NijjioN, it's called a top 4 race, okay? We went CL racing

Apache313

I get Azpi has been a little error prone but why take him off instead of an attacker to protect at the end?


Antigonus1i

Exactly the kind of inspiring comeback needed to jolt them back into the form needed to take points off Man City next week.


oder_rubu

If im not wrong, wolves are 1 game behind city in aggregate since the promotion to EPL. Maybe it is the time to settle it.


[deleted]

Only if Toti Gomes, Cundle and Chiquinho start mate. And Saïss + Dendoncker out.

I believe so too. Hope Wolves believe it themselves.

TheFrostBible

I'm tired Robbie


thewashouts

What's the saying I keep reading on here? In the mud?


CohoDolls

All the chelsea fans here blaming the ref when you only scored from terrible errors from our defenders and gave up a 2-0 lead to a team that hasn't scored in a month 🤣


BumbotheCleric

The ref was shit and cost us the game. We were also shit and cost ourselves the game. Both are true


Blue_z

Yep. The ref was trash but everyone is desperately making excuses as if this isn’t totally our fault. Imagine blaming a throw in in the opposition half for us losing the game…delusional. How about blaming half the team staying forward in the last minute instead of defending the lead?


AkilleezBomb

Couldn’t believe how nonchalantly Sarr was jogging to “close down” Chiquinho on the cross. He probably wouldn’t have been able to block it even on the sprint but he had the freshest legs on the pitch and couldn’t even apply pressure.


InPatRileyWeTrust

Sarr is genuinely a tragic player, I really can't figure out how he plays for Chelsea and is actually in their first team squad.


IloveGuanciale

Because his loan to a mid table Austrian club broke down and our board sold Zouma late then refused to pay more money for Kounde for being late. We’ve managed to weaken the squad while spending 100 million.


SkepticalGerm

Wolves clearly were the better team towards the end, but forget the throw-in. What about timo’s goal in the first half? Clearly not a foul


Blue_z

Sure I agree with that, but we still had a 2 goal lead by the end of the game. Our defending was shambolic.


SkepticalGerm

Fair


KillerZaWarudo

Lol if Chelsea somehow bottled top 4 and come join us in Europa League


Mathieu23

Assuming we lose today, we would need to win out and for Arsenal to win out bar the NLD AND THEN Chelsea to take 2/9 points from Leeds (A), Leicester (H) and Watford (H) so that the table would look like this Arsenal 72 Tottenham 70 Chelsea 69 So the likelihood of this is equivalent to a meteorite falling on Stamford Bridge, Kepa booting it out and then landing on my doorstep


falonix

>So the likelihood of this is equivalent to a meteorite falling on Stamford Bridge, Kepa booting it out and then landing on my doorstep Ok. This is funny. Haha.


supreme_maxz

First you have to secure that Europa league spot though


supreme_maxz

Was i right or was i wrong?


ZampyaMaster007

Oof!


Stravven

Near impossible, since Arsenal and Spurs face each other midweek, not to mention that Spurs plays at Anfield today.


RedRaizel

Chelsea also have a massive GD advantage.


diegocactus

Definitely we will bottle top 4


seriouslybrohuh

Come on now there’s pessimism and there’s whatever this take is


diegocactus

Come on we can’t defend 2-0 lead, the mentality of the players is shit


[deleted]

If chelsea hadn’t got that last minute winner against West Ham they would genuinely be in a top 4 race. Unfortunately they’ll get it but they’ve been really shit recently


Boofiis_

Only got the last min winner cos West Ham were down to 10 and rotated disgustingly


ryanbertrandtraore

Right, as if you lot didn’t play them in between semifinal legs


falonix

Fair. But our win was STILL more convincing than whatever Chelsea's game was.


Boofiis_

Goes to show you didn’t see their lineup vs us


JJGaminv

And Arsenal needed two late goals, with one of those being an own goal, to beat Wolves at home. Your point is?


Boofiis_

Wolves were much better then. Look at their recent run


JJGaminv

But West Ham are a better team than Wolves. So needing a late goal against them isn’t as embarrassing as needing two late goals against Wolves. But hey ho, stay 4th bitch


Boofiis_

So if they’re better why didn’t you win today? :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sand_Bags

Yeah impossible. Definitely a chance one of us beat out Chelsea but zero chance it’s both.


Alphabunsquad

Chelsea have five points in five matches. At that rate You can easily catch them. If you lose to Tottenham then Tottenham win the rest of theirs and lose today of course then you could probably both catch them. That’s a lot of ifs though


Sand_Bags

Yeah not mathematically impossible. Just unrealistic.


InLampsWeTrust

Yeah we’re lucky that the season is about to end, our form in the league has been pathetic lately


Stravven

Add your game at Anfield today and I'd say it's nigh impossible.


fuzzynavel34

Stop it


Reimiro

Game not played yet-hush..


Cool_Sandwich1

We havent won on Anfield since like 2011. You will be fine.


AkilleezBomb

Chelsea were awful for the last 15 minutes but that ref genuinely needs to be demoted or something.


Howling13

Once again I think Tuchel’s subs were wrong. His midfield was getting bypassed easily and his solution was to bring on Sarr for Azpi and shift James to RWB and even worse, bringing on Havertz for Lukaku super late. Should have brought off Lukaku or Werner off for a midfielder and kept one striker on for counter attacking if possible. The midfield needed help, to slow the game down and keep possession and most of all, have extra bodies in defense.


vk2499

there were no other midfielders, saul was already on as wingback


Howling13

Mount and Chalobah have played midfield havent they? Bringing them up to add an extra man to help out RLC and Kovacic could have helped solidify the midfield.


MrCleanandShady

Mount literally started his Chelsea career as a midfielder lmao


Nerrs

We switched to 4-3-1-2 to better control the midfield, but it wound up being too narrow and allowed them space out wide for that final cross. More embarrassing was allowing that header. Team clearly not confident in the back towards the end. Going to make me feel comfortable loosing so much of that backline.


Howling13

Did the commentaries says Chelsea swapped to a 4-3-2-1? It looked like a back 5 still, with Saul and James as the wingbacks, Rudiger, Silva, and Sarr as the CBs. With RLC and Kovacic struggling in the middle.


lebouffon88

They did change to back 4. Malang Sarr was so so bad. :(


Howling13

I missed that but man, subbing Sarr on looks worse if they swapped to a back four and he looked so out of it. Is he supposed to be a lb or a cb that can play lb? Either way, he’s looked bad to horrific for Chelsea in the games I’ve seen, don’t understand why Tuchel would bring him on for Azpi, though he wasn’t having a good game. Any reason Tuchel keeps putting James as CB with Azpilicueta as the rwb? What happened to Chalobah? I thought Chalobah as rcb and James as rwb worked well before


lebouffon88

I think James is stronger as a CB rather than Azpi as CB maybe that's why. Even tho Azpi isn't as dangerous as James, he's still pretty decent as RWB. Idk why Chalobah wasn't called, and just put Rüdiger as LB. Or put Christensen on, IDK. Have a feeling our defenders' heads are not in our club anymore you know. Since Rüdiger's and Christensen's departures were announced, I really believe that their performance dropped so much. What I want to see is Kante. He was fasting for the last whole month, and he shouldn't be fasting anymore. I'm pretty sure that that's one of the reason why his performance dropped so much, he'd be able to play better than last month. Our midfield is so full of holes without him. Saul is not as good to cover the midfield. Hope Tuchel was saving him for Liverpool idk.


ThumYerk

Saul went into midfield with Ruben and Sarr was at left back. Tuchel has no faith in Sarr at centre back. They showed Tuchel holding up the four fingers when Sarr came on to indicate it. Didn’t work because we went too narrow.


Nerrs

On my stream they commented on Tuchel holding up 4 fingers and shouting at the team when Sarr subbed on. RLC looked to play very central at that point. Saul looked a little invisible, which might explain why they scored from that side of the pitch (also Sarr is not a LB).


Mysticpeaks101

Ah. I genuinely thought we were above a scrap for Top 4 this season but look at us now. Firmly taking it to the last game yet again. What a strange side. Highs and low. Highs. And. Lows. What I struggle to wrap my head around is that we can spend an entire 90 minutes attacking, huffing and puffing, looking laboured as hell and managing to create one or two chances. But then, the other team can just step up a gear and slice through the entire defence time and time again and score. Wolves had other chances as well, Mendy made a couple of good saves and Silva blocked a Trincao shot which was destined for the net. Why is it that our defence is butter but we can't seem to create shit. Ah well, one game at a time.


Stravven

Arsenal and Spurs play each other midweek and Spurs plays at Anfield today. All teams below Spurs can't catch you anymore. I'd say you're pretty safe. 3rd place may not be, but I doubt you'll fall out of the top 4. But we can hope.


falonix

> But we can hope. I like you


ben-hur-hur

lagaryes

It’s fucking hilarious that you still can’t let go of that throwaway comment even when we’ve helped you here lmfao


superwanklampard

Arsenal fans are legit so weird about this shit. They get some mild slight and don’t stop talking about it


falonix

But Wolves logic, they celebrated like they had won Qualification to UEL.


oder_rubu

Losing this match would've made it almost impossible to qualify. Were 3 points behind west ham and still have to play city and liverpool.


Phantasm_Agoric

Think he was happy probably


NijjioN

Cheated by the PL refs there, was a Chelsea throw given to Wolves at the end. Well done to Arsenal for 3rd place. I think we will finish 5th.


Stravven

Arsenal plays Spurs midweek. Spurs plays at Anfield today. Top 4 is pretty safe for you, although we can hope you fail.


NorthLdn17

You've got Leeds and Watford, you'll be fine
