Chelsea are in trouble. 

If Boehly had sacked Potter a few games earlier, they would be in the relegation fight. So at least he got something right

The fact that Arsenal could go 40 points clear of Chelsea before they even can get 40 points themselves shows how dire the situation is

I knew Chelsea was doomed as soon as Todd Boehly told Tuchel to play a 4-4-3 formation

Potter didnt have the man management skills for Chelsea, but his tactical knowledge saved it from being as bad as it is under Lamps. If Potter had been sacked earlier, theres genuine questions about a relegation battle. Great vid as always mate.

Honestly, as a Chelsea fan, this is depressing times. Sacking Tuchel so early in the season, made absolutely zero sense to me and to top it off, not selling any players in January or cutting down the squad made matter worse. And now we're fighting relegation. Regardless, this was a great video and I loved how you broke everything down. Hope to see more videos💯

If you want further proof that Havertz is not a striker, look at Germany. Since Klose retired Germany have been struggling with that position and to finish. Insane midfield and playmakers but no one to put the ball in the net.

People say we were on a downward spiral with Tuchel, while ignoring the circumstances. Even without them, you don’t sack an elite manager unless you replace him with another one. We didn’t. Elite managers also should get the chance to turn things around. An elite tactician like Tuchel would’ve figured out something sooner or later

I've always said this. Chelsea needs a good forward and one of the best they need right now is Doro.

My father's brother was a Chelsea fan and the last thing he said before his death "Chelsea forever!" In his final moments he swore his eternal love to this club and while myself and my father aren't Chelsea fans (Liverpool for us) what's happening at Stamford Bridge feels insulting to his memory.

SUPER FRANK Y LLLLLAMPARD! Crazy that without Tuchels points they would be in the relegation scrap

This hurts to look at as a Chelsea fan. Knowing well we cant do anything about it. Great vid tho

Great video but you missed one very important thing..... Baseball. Todd Boehly's sporting background is baseball and it looks to me like he tried to run Chelsea like a baseball team. They have large rostas with players on rotation. Games are daily and players can't physically be expected to perform every day of the week, so they rotate. All these big money signings with long contracts is exactly how baseball works. As for having Poch' as a manager you may as well have stayed with potter, they are both very similar in the way they work.

**correction** Mauricio Pochettino DID win the league in France. He won the domestic double. He didn't win it in his first season because he arrived replacing fired manager Tuchel and playing catch up

Funy enough timo werner was missing a lot but was bagging some goals in and now has 100 goals in the bundesliga

The Chelsea situation in some senses reminds me of when David Moyes went to United, although obviously not with the vast amount of spending. The reason I say this is that Moyes removed all of Sir Alex's backroom staff, essentially gutting staff who had been there for years and years. Chelsea has done a similar thing where senior management of Cech to physios have been removed. This combined with buying WAY too many players has made it an extremely difficult job for any manager, let alone Potter or Lampard.

It’s in times like these I kinda regret being so emotionally invested in football. I love the game, and I’ve use a lot of time and energy loving it, just like all other football fans. This season has genuinely taken a toll on my everyday life. Hopefully we won’t be relegated, and i’m not even kidding when I say that. I just want this to end. Great video btw. Your content is smashing!

Everything that this video explains is true but also the players have to constantly learn new tactics because of the change of managers. The players have to constantly play in the positions that they don't even play in. Also they are thinking about their future way too early which lowered their morale.

These problems have been brewing and are coming to affect in a similar way that united suffered after Ferguson’s departure. It largely dates back to the window when Havertz Ziyech and Werner we’re all bought. Chelsea have had far more transfer misses than they have transfer hits since then. Todd Boehly s chopping and changing, in addition to creating the most bloated squad in the history of football, has made these problems more noticeable and more impactful

I think Frank Lampard might just be “living long enough to see himself become the villain”

They don’t need a rebuild, they need a manager that knows what he’s doing and has abit of balls

Great Vid, I'm looking forward to Poch but only because of his work with youngsters, Madueke has a really bright future if used properly, it is his record against the top 6 that worries me.

Even if the Tottenham connection wasn’t an issue I feel Poch might be a bad choice because the current Chelsea situation has the potential to be PSG 2.0. The owner will try to stack the dressing room with big egos regardless of how they fit the puzzle and he will be forced to work with a group of players that have no hope of meshing together but will still be expected to deliver the glory. They have a fanbase that is very fickle due to the Abramovic era where they got everything they wanted for years and I think Boehly tried to replicate that without actually knowing anything about football. He tried spending loads of money but didn’t know how to do it wisely. He tried ruthlessly firing managers but didn’t know how and when to do so. And finally he tried bringing back Lampard, I assume for the banter.

I don't remember who said it but basically to make a winning team the players have to stay at the club so that they are going to create a bond with team, the staff, the manager (obviously you must have a project with him), the fans and the city. If you look at real madrid and manchester city they do spend hundres of million but with a purpose and with the manager. If you look at psg they have a dream team attack just with that you should start the game 3-0 up, it seems like that they are a bunch of players playing with a random manager like chelsea.

I would say Chelsea's problems are the following: -Started off season with lots of key players injured -Most summer signings were pretty shit except Sterling -Werner being sold and Aubameyang being shit meant Havertz, a CAM, is playing striker -A lot of new players came in in January, many have been yeeted in and don't have much time to adapt -We are super unlucky before goal as we're just missing sitters or keepers turn into prime Casillas (What I've seen in games at least) -Potter was sacked for an even worse manager -Lampard doesn't know if he has attacking players or not as he's playing Kante and Gallagher on the wings -I think the players, just like us, just want the season to end asap at this point

I'm totally convinced that Potter would haved fared much better if Chelsea had bought a third of the players they did. And I also think Chelsea deserves everything they've got. Finally I hope Potter takes a long holiday and come back stronger in a mature Club.

I'd love to sign Ivan Toney. A great proven goal scorer that can be the striker that felix/Havertz can feed the ball to. We also need a good proven manager that can handle and motivate this big squad, and find a consistent starting 11. Then we need to sell the players that just aren't working out, Pulisic, Koulibaly, Aubameyang, Gallagher....

A thing you forgot is that Boehly is not only the owner, but acted as the interim sporting director until this February. Being the owner is basically just the guy who forks over money, but Boehly actually thought he could run the club.

Well done, managing to fit the whole of Chelsea's squad on one screen

When Tod boehly interfered he played FIFA career mode.

Even when Thomas tuchel was the coach most goals were scored by our defenders through headers or by wingbacks. I forgot when it was the last time Chelsea had a good set of attackers.

I keep thinking about what Mudryk must be thinking after basically being an Arsenal player, then moving to Chelsea and now being stuck in the mud. It's one of the worst moves I've been in some time

Congrats Vizeh for your team coming back to the prem 🔥

The Intro is CRAZY lon..Good shit mate lol

they got a bunch of stars coming off the world cup and a bunch of new main starter players that needed to catch up to the chelsea game/ chemistry/ premier league type play. add on the new coaches and inexperienced owner. it’s so surprise

Wow, it's almost like, when a team changes management and an internal crisis is incoming, putting a shitload of money in gaps before rebuilding a strong system does not work at all!

These vid are so good like honestly vizeh deserves like 10 mil subs 10/10

This is what happens when an American buys an English football club and get too involved in managing the players, strategy etc. they just haven’t got a clue! Might as well convert Chelsea to an American Football or Baseball team because they probably have more chances of winning on those sports than in the Premier League.

chelsea's main problem is not having a striker capable of scoring, we should've never gotten rid of abraham

A big part of it must be that the players are much bigger than the managers. There’s an imbalance between the playing squad - crammed with World Cup winners and trophy-laden stars - and Graham Potter. The guy hadn’t won or done anything. And he doesn’t have that personal authority and charisma that demands immediate respect. So the players would be looking at him and thinking “who are you?” And then they bring in Lampard - the very guy sacked to make way for Tuchel! Many of those players played under Frank. They must be thinking the same thing we are. “What a joke!” Under those conditions how are they supposed to go out and perform like an elite team?

Super franks record isnt stopping anytime soon 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭

10:47 chelsea accountants dividing the payments for the transfers over a 12 year contract period be like

Potter has been manager for more then a couple of yeardy3s vizeh, he was part of a womans football club I believe. He also managed ostersund in Sweden, got them promoted, got them in the europa league and even beat arsenal when wenger was in charge. His been around for nearly 10 years.

Lampard has a 100% record! Us fans are loving life!

Chelsea has gotten rid of some of the very best coaches in the world like Tuchel and Sarri in recent years, and they've did a pretty good job. They have their method and Chelsea under them have direction and purpose.

Heard somewhere that Tuchel was mainly fired because he didnt want to teach Todd how to run the football side of the club or take on additional duties from the support staff Todd fired. I guess Boehly wanted him to be a modern day Alex Ferguson who basically ran United as the Glazers werent that interested in the football side.

Similar to Man Utd last season, except Utd were saved in more of their tight games by moments of individual magic.

You mentioned managers not having success after moving to rivals... There's literally one exception to that in the history of English football: Brian Clough. And they say exceptions prove the rules.

I was recently watching a video about Chelsea in which I learnt that when Roman bought that club in 2003 he invested money in his first season but Ranieri could not win any trophies in the 03-04 season. Then they brought Jose Mourinho to the club and he was fully backed by the owner and Jose won trophies with the team. But now if they want to fully back their next manager they may need to buy a few players who are recommended by the new manager. Now I don't know much about FFP rules and I am guessing that they may not be able to back their manager next season because of their recent spending spree. So the new manager may not be able to produce good results in the next season. So it is a pretty concerning situation. But I think the owners have to support the new manager irrespective of the results to bring some type of stability in the club.

Sterling was a finisher at Liverpool just saying. But this video is actually really interesting to watch, and I’ve loved the detail you went into instead of instantly critiquing everything and everyone. Very informative.

Do not sleep on the fact that Tuchel sold Giroud and Tammy, bought Lukaku, got rid of Lukaku and Werner. And then brought in AUBAMEYANG. What the hell was he thinking. He did not even want a striker I the summer l, but saw in the early games that we might need a striker and panicbuyed auba

It's mind boggling as a Liverpool fan that the Chelsea owner has spent half a billion dollars this season in signing new players. Over here at Anfield the owners are such cheapskates that we haven't signed a midfielder in three years! The club has been running on fumes and could collapse at any moment.

There is an interview with the Brentford director of football on the high performance podcast where he talks about how he (and others) have managed the consistent growth and success of the club over the last few years. He talked about not making too many changes too quickly, bringing in the right players to build the right culture, intelligent recruitment, etc. All things that haven't happened at Chelsea. As a Chelsea fan, I really hope Boehly is learning from his mistakes here as he has made some absolutely doozies this last 12 months.

Potter thought he was scaloni by changing up his formation every time. One thing for sure, I could probably be a better manager than Lampard.

Definitely subscribing , this is quality

Because its football and not Baseball. you cannot have a such a dramatic change in a short amount of time.

i don't think any manager wants to go to chelsea simply because of Todd Boehly and his ideias especially after he said to Tuchel to use 4-4-3 formation but hey we gotta wait and see what happends

iam sure they will be back next season with a new manager and a couple of players finding their form

The appointment of Potter was not a bad at all. Its clear Todd Bohely was looking for a project manager who would build a solid team over 5 years. He is not Abrahamovich and dosen't want to replicae his business model. Fans need to understand that.

Yo you done my country dirty in that intro lol love the vids tho😂😂

This reminds me of 2005 when they had 40 players or so and mourinho just came in a got rid of a bunch of them

amazing how United has given up the 5th least goals since we have up 17 in just three games (City, Liverpool, Brentford). our defense has been stellar this year but when the dam breaks look out

Being back the special one

Check out the Newcastle model - true they are hamstrung by FFP due to Ashleys cheap selling of sponsorship, but look at them now. A very very happy club top to bottom, and it shows.

People need to remember that Poch wasn’t the only one who managed psg the season they lost the league, he had about half the season with Tuchel having the other half, and Poch’s only full season in charge was one of their best ever league campaigns

Boehly bought a plumming business when he had no idea about plumming bought all the supplies for the plummer then fired the plummer and got a painter to do the plumming

I still think the down fall started from Lakaka's interview

It's Benitez when he went to Chelsea. Hated by Chelsea's fans, he won UEL + 3rd place + win vs Fergie's MU at OT.

Poch is gonna be good imo, he should be able to settle most players in and start developing them like he did at Spurs. Tactically I'm not sure but next season and god it feels weird to say this they should focus on getting to the UEL at the least.

Yo man, love your vids

Video idea, Nottingham Forest and how harsh it was to sell the majority squad that got them up, love the videos, keep it up ❤

Man,your content is awesome.Keep up the amazing work.BTW,You deserve way more subscribers.

Imagine spending 3 billion quid on a football club only for every fan of the club to want you out after 6 months 😂

Good Summary old chap

What a video. Liked and subscribed. Cheers Mate

do the controvesy of the euro 2020 final

it's kinda weird behavior in chelsea management, some good coach reach peak performance but not too long after that they get kick out, Remember when Di Matteo winning UCL beat Munchen, he kick couple months after that, and recently Tuchel winning another UCL and he kick out. kinda bizzare. even after Abramovic left it still there, what a mess

Has everyone just forgotten about Bruno Saltor? Sure he wasn't the most stylish manager, but he would have at least given chelsea some stability until the end of the season, a bit like hiddink in 2016. Judging from the performance against Liverpool we defo would have won at least 2 of the 3 pl games lamps has lost, and we'd at least be top half, but of course boehly let him go for a pe teacher

well WE DON'T have a striker thats at the club or we do but they won't play him

I'm a chelsea fan and I have to say that the appointment of Pochettino is sth I never though i would see but I have seen a lot of bat shit crazyiness this last 2 years. I do think that Poch is a good manager appointment given his experience, tactics and development of young players which chelsea have planty of, of course. I think that if the fans give him a little time and he shows his qualities he could be a great manager for chelsea F.C. And let's be honest here he might not be tuchel but he is a WAY better manager than both Potter and Lampard (no disrespect to them, but that's a fact). Guy took SPURS of all teams and he made them reach the fucking CL FINAL knocking excelent teams out of the competition to reach that point. As for his time at PSG I don't think anyone should ever be bothered with that. That club is a circus and no manager should be judged for his work at that club. They have had a lot of great managers (Ancelotti, Tuchel, Emery) and none of them has really succeeded there.

Idk why we sacked Potter if we didn't already have a manager like Nagelsmann or Enrique lined up. Yes he probably deserved to be sacked for poor result but we all knew Potter was a long term type of manager so why not just wait it out till the end of season, maybe he could've developed the team

4:30 the Irish guy knew, 16:23 remember he came in during the winter tuchel is partly to blame

What you don't know Vizeh is that it really is a hilltop village in Wales

I miss Roman , A king who really cared

My main guess as to why we’re struggling so much: we don’t have the personnel to play fast, and we don’t have the camaraderie to play controlled. Even when we won the champions league it wasn’t because we were better offensively. We got our goal and we sat back and defended. When you have the best defense in the world that’s a strategy to success, but when players move, get injured and age and you’re left with a potent but weakened defense (and no reliable attack) there’s not much anyone can do. Imo we need to drastically reduce the amount of players on the squad, find a reliable finisher or 2, and get some consistency on formations and players in our rotation.

Potter turned up at training to be met by two new players he didn’t even know !

7:56 Surely you mean " .....did not work in the 2nd place"

They're in trouble because there's no consistency. Boehly sacked Tuchel, which was a massive mistake and in typical American mentality, he thought spending a bunch of cash and bringing in random players was going to be a recipe for success. They've had no time to gel with each other, it's been huge changes.

This guy really wanted to play that 4-4-3 formation

As a United fan as soon as I heard Chelsea was getting American owners I knew it was gunna be bad…because it always is with those clueless yanks, they don’t know ball, never even played the game yet they want to stick their noses in where it’s not wanted, I agree with Neville, there needs to be a ban on them hijacking and ruining these big clubs and trying to ruing our game with their Super League and All Star game proposals.

Tuchel wanted out . His interviews around the time hinted at a man that was begging to be fired. Boehly s ego has caused this carnage. Good luck with ffp this summer. They’ll be selling to buyers who can smell the desperation, so they’ll be low balled to death 😅

It is t thst we need a rebuild but we need a spine of a gk, dm and ST

What is most alarming is that they used so much of their money to get these new players on long term contracts by abusing a loophole that was previously only used sparingly… and now all they have to show for it is a team that is just average… I can’t imagine being a Chelsea fan rn considering it seems like it will take at couple of seasons at least to fix the mistakes that they have committed in a short period of time, but will ultimately end up affecting them for years to come.

Potter isn't young, he's rubbish. Tuchel is only 2 years older. The reason Potter truly succeeded at Brighton is their system and philosophy

Chelsea need a restructuring to do, from the squad to the board of director

Saying that Chelsea needs a "rebuild" is just stupid. The position the team is really lacking is a number 6 and a number 9. Although it's kinda ridiculous that so much money was spent on up and coming wingers while nothing was spent on a 9 or 6...

Spot on but the real question is how you got a Blackburn ticket.

Make a Mark Goldbridge United Stand video please.

It really goes to show how important the manager is to a football team, no matter how good the players are. I would say the only team in history that wouldn't need a manager would be prime Brazil, ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, kaka, etc.

I think next season Chelsea will be right back. Nkunku will be in. A new manager will find an 11 thats most applicable and if that manager is the littlest bit competent at top tier football, then Chelsea will be good.

Couple things here I understand ur banter - I could play in this club and guarantee you more than two wins, but thing is... No, no you don't and the point why? Because that is exactly how Chelsea plays at the moment. Like a bunch of friends that got together after work/school to play some football. They are not playing like a team at all and make many mistakes, frankly the same as you would, if anything this is exactly how it would go if random people who think are decent in football or play together in Sunday League or wherever got together and tried to play on top level. Most people felt like Potter was an amazing manager - absolutely not, it was pretty divided actually and I am not talking about sacking Tuchel, but about Potter himself. I didnt think it will work out well (yeah I didnt think it will go this badly either, but I didnt see the potential and expertise a lot of people talked about). Points pretty much as you said. Like what did he achieve until Chelsea's job? He managed swansea and that wasnt anything amazing. Then Brighton and it went 15th, 16th, 10th with still negative GD, and then he was appointed when we were not even halfway in next season and only then Brighton was really high. We are talking about one okay season and one overachieving and based on that there were shouts that he is the best new manager. It's just not. Dont get me wrong, Brighton had an amazing season for sure, but I heard shouts about Ranieri being new Pep when Leicester won the league and where is he now? It's not only about the manager and Chelsea are not Brighton. This is not even English Tax anymore which did contribute to this also. The new signings - also very important thing to mention is that even tho there were many new faces, they were all young players. You need the experience in the club too and that is only Kante, Azpi and Silva - Kante has been injured for very long time and on the top of that Jorginho one of the more senior players left too. Who is there to guide the players? Not to mention that Auba already kind of failed in the league and you bring him back for Werner who at least provided movement in the attack and space. Lampard in - Yeah, delusional fanbase if there was any hope something will change from them. Sacking Potter was maybe the right thing, but appointing Lampard... I mean you get high risk high reward in life and you could argue that as spirits were low, confidence demolished, etc. that someone with passion for the club would bring it back and normally I would agree, but not now. As Drogba said I dont recognize Chelsea anymore. It's not the same club at all, half of these players never even met Lampard and not to even mention his first run which didnt end that well. This was just catching straws to help players, but it's not it. The thing you should have mentioned is that Boehly completely changed the whole personal behind the scenes, like for example fyzio and players actually want it back. How are you meant to get together when people who are there to help you do it behind the scenes are changing too. What is happening is basically as if you just established the club, that's why it's failing. It's simple. Everybody is new and the couple of people who stayed there (which are only some players at this point) are not enough to mend it together.
