Show Notes
Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to look back at a poor defeat at home to Brighton and ahead to Real Madrid in the Champions' League.
In part one we ask were there too many changes? Not enough continuity or were players rested for Real? Kepa was excellent but other than that there was no leadership, no spine, no attack, no energy and fitness and no hope. Meanwhile Brighton were everything we are not – aggressive one touch football; going forward quickly with end product. With no sign of form turning around we ask can we still get relegated?
In part two we discuss the crowd having enough of it all. With Chelsea finding themselves in a perfect storm of shit: players who should have been sold; players who want away; players who think they’ll be sold; interim manager with no focus; new owners who have turned it upside down. The season can't finish soon enough. What will the long-term damage be given how much time Chelsea will need to re-build; the possibility of a FFP fire sale and revenue down with no Europe…
In part three we preview the second leg of the Champions' League quarter-final against Real Madrid. How will Frank set up the team with no Koulibaly and Chilwell? How are we going to score 3 goals? And do we have to score first and by going on the attack do we leave ourselves vulnerable to getting thumped?
In part four we have this week's emails to read out.
