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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

When Tod boehly interfered he played FIFA career mode.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 😅

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

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...

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

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.

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

Non Chelsea fan here but neither for or against, just curious. Whatever the issues the blame surely lies with the owner. I find it amazing that someone parting with so much wedge was so unprepared for the role. The rich and/or powerful often believe they are possessed of superior intelligence and abilities.

This whole fiasco proves that money isn't everything in football, like the Pep critics liked to always point out "but he got too much money" well well well, Tedd and others at Man U were in the same boat, just lack the knowledge and understanding of football, just saw an investment opportunity, they are just bad investors with no knowledge of football, unlike City and Newcastle owners

As a Chelsea fan thank you. You somehow managed to get all of our many issues into one video and I hope other delusional Chelsea fans can learn from this. We need to stop blowing cash and sacking managers when things dont go well. We need to trust the process. I just hope whoever is the next manager is actually given a fair chance. What we did to Tuchel cannot happen again. With that being said, I do not think Poch is the perfect answer, but he is not the worst option, and I think he will develop our young players nicely. As for winning any silverware? I am going to lower my expectations when it comes to that. I would love for Jose to come back or even Conte... I would not expect immediate success but if we gave them at least 3-4 years, they would do great things for the club.

The Intro is CRAZY lon..Good shit mate lol

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

I'm pretty sure Boehly heard about "football" and thought this is something like the NFL. Newsflash, Todd; this is Foot-ball. Not hand-egg. Firing Tuchel was the dumbest decision ever.

Boehly is buying like he would a baseball team its much easier to buy and plug a new player into a baseball team and even doing that doesn't mean results. he has one world series since taking over the Dodgers in 2012...football is much more complex and chemistry does matter and players are sometimes only really good in certain systems and when they go to a club playing something else they look like a fish out of water...

Chelsea should get into talk with high profile managers like Mourinho, zidane etc to be able to build a team that will dominate football for decade.Secondly get a striker lol Ivan toney who has performed well in all the football division in England

I never wanted Potter in the first place. Tuchs was asked of too much when half the back staff left. It seemed like he got all the extra work put on him. All he wanted to do was manage the team. He was put in an awful situation on top of dealing with his own issues (he was literally finalizing his divorce). He never should have been sacked at that point in the season. Lampard was brought back in so people wouldn't riot if we ended up in the exact position we are in now. That and nobody else wants to take over at that moment. Refilling the back staff such as sporting director, medical team and whatnot puts the team in the right direction. It's frustrating to hear horror stories like the Ziyech PSG deal. When the wizard is feeling it, he is magical to watch. With his reactions on the pitch to certain situations I just felt like he just wasn't meshing with the team. I thought we should let him leave. Instead they spent $100+ million on a cone that cries to ref everytime a bigger opponent pushes him off of the ball.

as a chelsea fan i really think the missing piece is a striker . it’s not like we are bad defensively , par the real madrid game . squad needs to be trimmed , players such as ziyech,chalobah, dave, mendy,auba,kouli,gallagher and loftus cheek. i do feel bad for potter i do reckon with a half decent st we would be in a completely different position . but at the same time i think signing too many players in january has harmed the squad more than healed. they should’ve bought players who were needed now such as enzo badishille and mudryk but the rest should’ve went back on loan such as madueke and fofana (st) . if lukaku comes back he should play . felix shouldn’t have been brought in even though i love him. just for the fact he was signed for 10 mill for 5 months 😮. havertz should be loaned out rediscover his form let another manager found his best position unless poch has a clear plan for him but with the likes of nkunku and mount . mount may rediscover his form and may resign a contract and i believe nkunku will be the first name on the team sheet .

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.

Todd Boehly does Care about the club. He just doesn't know how to run it Properly. But he will Learn

I reckon Lampard's gotten away with it. He chose most of the squad ever since Hazard left and they never really did start to thrive with the aging/sale of other important players. But that first squad lampard picked was shit. Just kept signing auxiliary strikers. No depth in midfield, woefully unreliable keeper and defence. No finisher...

From day 1, the footballing world knew Chelsea had money to spend. And the person with control of the purse strings was clueless. So every football agent, who are not known to be the most empathetic or conscientious of breeds, thought all their Christmas's had come all at once. Hence, Chelsea massively overpaid for the bang average.

They actually have no prolific creators only players who want to pass laterally or get shots for themselves

The fact that they sold Jorginho, an experienced and mature player who was known to be a great influence in the dressing room thanks to his multi-lingual skills, is telling of what's wrong at Chelsea.

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

The new owners bear responsibility.

4 wins in all comps in 2023 🔥🔥🔥

Potter was set up for failure but its also his fault for rushing into the job. Has to choose his next job wisely

Every single person? Nah, the British media

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

What chealse need rn is an amazing creative “La Pausa” player like Vizeh

Painters are called decorators in England ?

Sacking Tuchel, keeping Potter for too long when it obviously wasn't working, then appointing Lampard instead of going for a better replacement right away. The coaching mess is a big part. The other is some of the signings just haven't worked out, but that happens to every big club. But the one thing I've been saying for months, even if some people might consider it "too simplistic" (some things just are) is the utter insistence on NOT GETTING A DAMN STRIKER. Even Chelsea fans will say "nah mate, we need another 7 midfielders" or point to Manchester City last season. There we so many games where Chelsea had control or ended in a boring 0-0 draw. For all the money they spent, if they just had a dude who can put the ball in the net, the record would look very, very different

Poch did win the league with psg in his second season and the French cup

Its like they've built this luxury palace of players but forgot to build the front door.

Mourinho is all Chelsea needs

36 players you say.. Can't wait for the fire sale😂😂

Too many players bought main problem. Mess up locker room and team moral as well .

It didn't help to have the English Government freezing Abramovich's assets. Now they have an owner who doesn't understand the beautiful game. If Abramovich had stayed, I'm pretty sure Tuchel would still be the manager, and he would've bolstered the squad in the summer of 2022. Tuchel had a rocky start this season, due to terrible transfer deals, with Barcelona hijacking the Chelsea targets. Therefore Tuchel was stuck with many of the same players. Unfortunately, Tuchel was sacked. I understand sacking Potter, but I think Bruno would be doing a better job than Lampard, which is another thing that still baffles me. Frank Lampard's 1st season with Chelsea was phenomenal, but after buying Havertz, Werner, and so many others, he wasn't utilizing them properly. Lampard has the IQ of 150, sadly that doesn't apply to his managing skills.

Why was there a rush to go and spend all that money in the January transfer window, it was like Brewsters millions. This club is a complete shambles

When just buying with no direction or Vision of the club and unfortunately Chelsea can't get away with it anymore because a lot of teams have wallets also.

Getting one of those Winston Bogarde contracts for Chelsea must be one of the best things that could ever happen to you, on a personal level.

Tuchel beat Pep 3 time in 1 season and win champion league . Yeah let sack him and bring Lampard Best decision ever 👌

they were linked with Haaland....Imagine they've got him right now....

I feel like Chelsea didn't sign players who gelled together. Take for instance Mudryk and James. These two are opposites in playing style. They didn't have any balance between youngsters and experienced players. Their midfield has no depth thanks to injuries and every one of their wingers is different and the striker problem is really hindering their goalscoring possibilities

Good Summary old chap

As a chelsea fan, theres literally one reason why we're doing so poorly this season, one word: Goals. We have scored 30 goals in the prem this season, which is terrible once you realize we have played thirty two games. We're not averaging a goal a game. We're on pace, generously, for 36 goals, which is probably not attainable considering we still have to play every single team in the top four with our last remaining 6 games. Just for context, 36 goals in a season would be the worst tally for Chelsea since the 1923/1924 season. That's 99 years ago. Why aren't we scoring goals? To put it simply, the player with the most appearances this year is Kai Havertz, a guy who is completely unmotivated, motionless in the box, and finishes like a donkey. Our defense isn't terrible, but our attack needs serious sorting. I can't say we've had an offensive tactic of any sort since Sarri. Lampard told players to "go out and express themselves", and left it at that. Tuchel didn't really have one either, as our CL winning run was spurred on by a defensive masterclass. Potter sure as hill didn't have one other than slapping Havertz at ST and keeping Mudryk, Makuele, Mount and every other talented player on the bench in favor of Conor Gallagher (our second highest appearing player). Nagelsmann has offensive tactics, Enrique has offensive tactics, but no, they aren't Yes men. Will Poch figure something out? Time will tell, but I'm not putting a single cent on it.

This video hurt as a fan, but it described Chelsea this season. The Poch part of the video is his prem proven and overachieved with Sp*rs and having no Europe will be very beneficial to him as it gives him loads of time to bed in his ideology, but him being ex sp*rs is the biggest red flag, and if it fails who's next?

I definitely think they will have the last laugh. He is an owner who cares about the club. First season was a disaster but now they have the best team in every department and everybody are on rhe same page. They have very good talentsat their disposal. So i think the project will be successful. Let's see

I’m sure there having fun when they have lost every game since he came in

Truly I think it'll be shit if Chelsea tours in the summer and drops Pulisic. They're already using him to promote (ofc he's one of the captains) but I wouldn't be surprised if after that they sell him

I am Ukrainian, but paying 100 mln for Mudryk was a ridiculously stupid idea. There were rumors in Ukraine couple months before the transfer that Shakhtar put the price tag of 100 mln and everyone thought Shakhtar was just delusional. Apparently they weren't xD

Half a billion in a winter transfer window is criminal, absolutely criminal.

Did someone say, "there is a plan, a very good plan"? 😂😂

The problem was not sacking Tuchel. We’ve been in horrible form for the calendar year of 2022. The problem when he was sacked, after spending money on “his players” and bringing in Potter without a preseason. Boehly also needs to clear out some players, a lot of them have been here for a while and keep letting us down. All our January signings have shown promise, even mudryk who was overpaid for still has a future. The summer was more hectic and there were a few misses due to no footballing people on the board. People talk about the money spent but don’t even factor we’ve overpaid and a lot of the signings bar 2/3 are based on potential. Basically all the struggles and spending that a team in transition over goes in like 3-4 seasons has been compounded into just one, that’s why we’ve been so bad. Which helps my argument about the needing of a clear out. I’m not worried for next season, we’ll be alright. Poch in and a proper summer will do

I think for Chelsea, it's just lack of discipline and aim on the pitch. It seems that Chelsea players don't play for each other. Looks like they're doing what they know as individual players and know less about playing as a team. There's brilliant dribbles and passes but those plays go nowhere.

I've seen better plans from Dutch Van der Linde than Chelsea's plans 😏🤠😆👍

Chelsea are in trouble! Well that guy who just stated, that must be really clever, I wonder how he's worked that out,! Chelsea are in trouble?

Re the injuries. Probably didn't help that bohkey sacked their experienced physio staff shortly after buying

This is probably the worst season chelsea has had since I was a fan of them since 2009. I heard that pocchetino might be the new manager next season so hopefully he can fix chelsea. Chelsea need players that plays well together, not individual players that have no idea what they are doing and can't score. Smh

As I said on a different video give Jose the job but he has to have absolute control of all comings and going No interference from the owners

Plz slow down video, I’m literally listening this video an 0,75 and I think that something like 0,84/0,86 would be perfect

Having 2 quality keepers on the bench? As a Chelsea fan I'd want rid off both!

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

Chelsea had the tradition to not give managers enough time. They should give Tuchel enough time. You just couldn't afford to trade world class manager to mediocres like Lampard and Potter.

Poch shud stay clear . That chairman hasent a clue

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

I can see Boehly being the new Abramovich. Sacking/appointing managers, and spending obscene amounts of money because he can outprice other clubs. Murdryk (or however the fuck his name's spelt) is a case in point.

All I want is for Boehly yo say fuck it and sub himself on

Really whoever that told Boehly to sign these players should get fired too

A mess this season but lets be honest they will be challenging for title next season with no Europe, all their top signings they will be miles ahead of most teams bar City. They have had no 7-0, 6-3, 6-1 thrashings like the Utd, Spurs that people will remember for decades. This season will be forgotten by the time chelsea win their next major trophy which will be sooner than 18 of the other premier league teams

Poch will experience the same thing as Tuchel......hands tied and zero support.
