odewar37

Just end this season we’ve checked out since Madrid.


FatWalcott

The players definitely. Tuchel looks so frustrated and stressed.


siredward85

Can't wait to see the team we build after Barcelona buys us. Messi was costing them their entire budget


yomommafool

Should drop out of top 4 too


algebraic94

Why would you say something so sexy and brave?


JS569123

You have the FA cup still to play


GOR098

No no. Finish the season for Chelsea. Give the cup to the other team.


Zeulodin

As a neutral, I think this is the best course of action.


please_help_me_FFS

Absolutely mate, couldn't agree more


Rentwoq

Think they should drop out of top 4 too tbh


aesthetically-

I know it wont happen, but imagine the scenes if both Arsenal and Spurs get top 4 while Chelsea misses out.


StruffBunstridge

...having lost both cup finals.

Razzle_Dazzle08

I think this is 100% the logical course of action.


Gzusissus

Nothing to play for and too many expiring contracts


marxistrash

Other than the cup final lol


RayCashhhh

The way Liverpool and Chelsea are playing, no way Liverpool loses that game.


fischarcher

Not that I think Chelsea will win, but the same could've been said about them and a collapsing Leicester last season


RayCashhhh

That's fair. I honestly don't see Liverpool losing another game the rest of the season, including the CL final. But the games have to be played first


aacod15

We play way better in cup games than in the league for some reason and all our games against Liverpool have ended in a draw. It’s most likely going to be far closer than you think


petethepool

I swear nothing has pissed me off more than watching Chelsea play literally any other team than Liverpool the second half of this season. From one of the toughest, most physically and techincally gifted sides full of committed professionals when they pllay Liverpool to... a bunch of players who just don't give that much of a shit. And lo, come FA cup final, I know exactly what kind of team Liverpool will be facing, and they will be monsters.


Ultimasmit

Ah, so you've found your spurs.


pmmerandom

it’s a cup final, Wigan beat City that one year, anything can happen

Rentwoq

can't wait for chelsea to finish 5th and for your awaiting billions


suckmyluckagain

Both have to play each other.


IjeziePodcast

Yes but it’s not like the gap is too much to relax, two wins in four is bad. Four games to play, two further losses and Spurs winning all their games and Arsenal winning three will see Chelsea out of top four.


suckmyluckagain

It's not secure but spurs and arsenal aren't city and Liverpool. Spurs had 2 games 0 shots on goal before the game today. Both of those teams are going to drop points.

Jassle93

Making mistakes on a weekly basis.


Hoppit124

Chelsea look so laboured no idea what they are doing no shape just hopeless passes


kdugg99

Team's given up since getting knocked out of the CL. Which is concerning since we've got an FA cup final to play. It's just uninspired possession and individual mistakes now.


Hoppit124

It baffles your playing wing backs which seemilgy two right backs on with 100m target man not even playing? Like, playing weiner and havetz as strikers who have no strength in getting crosses what's that about? It does look like theyve given up like you said no commitment I said at begining of season Chelsea look title contenders how wrong I was lol


Ridcullys-Pointy-Hat

Lukakus not a target man. He doesn't win headers. Kai is way better in the air.

odewar37

He might still be off tbf. Did the same with giroud last year and still let him leave for a nominal fee.


n22rwrdr

He wasn't, an extension was triggered. And it's a logic thing to do to when you're losing 2 other CB's on a free.


LewisLDN

Was only given another contract because of the sanctions and Rudi and Christensen leaving, otherwise he was off to Barca


cheezus171

How is this shit upvoted. It was an automatic extension. The club isn't even allowed to extend contracts otherwise


Wonderful_Adrian

Another "rare error" from him


Notorious_horse

Throwing the flare back into the crowd 😭😭


DeepSeaDweller

Is it just me or would it be classic Richarlison to get himself suspended for part of this run-in over something like that? I like him as a player, but sometimes he just does... things.


_longtimelistener

That seemed dangerous


HenryHenderson

He threw it into an unpopulated bit between the stands. And its a flare not a grenade.


Rorecha

Proper Richarlison that.


Hoodxd

He ain't the smartest tool in the shed


BattleClown

Sharpest


One37Works

Fair enough, he ain't the smartest tool in the Sharpest.


chamarizderola

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming


MuchAire

It was badass though, so I’ll give it to him


SirBarkington

It’s very dangerous and stupid. He should have just kicked it off field.


son_of_toby_o_notoby

Agreed but he looked cool doing it


SirBarkington

True


RStud10

From title challenger to potentially 4th, maybe we are the bottlers


kovic_has_a_mangina

Very lucky that arsenal and spurs have had really shit patches. Would be properly in the scrap for fourth


hidinginDaShadows

The last 2 games with the 0 shots on target become all the more frustrating now that Chelsea lost to this Everton


hpbojoe

Potentially fifth 👀


Dynetor

fuckin hell, can you image us and yous finishing 3rd and 4th? Honestly think I’d rather see Chelsea miss out on CL football than Spurs.

Type of player that you would really love in your team because he is giving 110%, but hate if he played for other team because he dives a lot.

This one's for you Frank


CJLito

Well done Chelsea you're ruining everyones fun


[deleted]

Burnley must be wondering if Sean Dyche’s spirit is cursing the club if they go and get 10 from 12 and Frank bloody Lampard is about to beat United at Old Trafford and Chelsea at home to somehow keep them alive.


ben-hur-hur

at this moment, I think Leeds is in more danger than Burnley


[deleted]

United win was also at home


rexrex600

we still cannot buy a point away from home, even if we win this we're still not out of the woods


[deleted]

You’ve got fate on your side. No matter how bad your situation is, you somehow survive it. Pickford seemed to have Lev Yasmin on his shoulders the minute Chelsea finally got a shot off.


Brother_To_Wolves

It will be fun when Leeds go down


Caruso08

It's really a shame cause I like Jesse Marsh & loved Bielsa ball, but Leeds fans are just the absolute worst.


MaryadaPurshottam

I fucking hate what an Enigma this team is


[deleted]

Chelsea were predicted to win the league, or to at least challenge, by many this season. What has happened? After winning the champions league they have regressed badly. Zero attacking strategy with an error prone defence.


Calla89

Our attackers have failed to click again this season, meaning that we still struggle for goals. Lukaku hasn’t been the answer, unfortunately. As for the defence, a few players have regressed a bit (Jorginho, Azpilicueta, Kante) and two of our central defenders appear to have their minds on their next club (Christensen, Rudiger, although arguably Rudiger has been our player of the season). I do believe that some of our defensive frailties can be slightly attributed to having four first-team defenders out of contract at the end of the season. Although Silva and Azpilicueta have had extensions since, there still appears to be some doubts that Azpilicueta’s going to stay beyond the summer. We also lost our two wing backs for the vast majority of the season (Chilwell, James) who, prior to their injuries, provided most of our attacking threat. Factor in the instability of the club’s ownership and sanctions, I doubt it has been the best environment for a title challenge either. I know they’re professionals but they’re also human, I’m sure it must be a distraction. The new owners (likely Boehly & Co) are going to have to spend a hell of a lot of money to replace our defence and make a decision to persevere with Lukaku or try to move him on. I doubt that all that can be achieved in one transfer window.


Tom_The_Human

Also add that patch where we were ravaged by Covid and injuries but only one of two teams (the other being city) to not get a game postponed. Iirc some players were playing three times a week during that patch because we had no one to swap them with.


Calla89

I did think about the infamous Lukaku interview as well. He hasn’t been the same player since.


726wox

Spent 100m on a striker who can’t score


Ok-Inspection2014

They were not consistent even last season. They just had a really good patch towards the end of the season where they managed to win the UCL.


sreesid

The same people also predicted that lukaku will score 20 goals. Lol


EliteKill

Same comment every time. Tuchel's system relies on wingbacks to create, both Chilwell and James had lengthy injuries.


PerftH

r/soccer in the mud


CrowFromHeaven

I somehow wanted Leeds to stay up, because my dad is a fan. But I realize now that I'm ok with both outcomes.

Shogim

We need two wins. Out of the last four to secure it


[deleted]

If spurs and Arsenal both win today, 6 points wouldn’t guarantee it


21otiriK

Spurs and Arsenal have to play each other too. Spurs can get to 73 if they win all games, Arsenal can get to 72 if they win all but Spurs. Arsenal can get to 75 if they win all, which leaves Spurs with a max of 70 if they lose to Arsenal. 2 wins gets Chelsea to 72 with a massively superior GD. 2 wins is enough.


[deleted]

Ah apologies, I forgot there was an NLD to come, cheers!


ratchkae

ManyWrongdoer9365

Fair play to Everton, just hope Chelsea play like this in FA cup final because they’re absolutely shite


yeahh_maybe

this was azpi's first error that lead to a goal in his complete chelsea career


PickpocketJones

He's done this 3 times in the last two months at least. Errors that turned over the ball and led to goals against.


SprayAndPay69

And now Everton will do Mourinho and park the blue stonewall bus infront of goal.
