Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 Review.

[White Riot]

Chelsea have played 7 of their last 11 games at Stamford Bridge, winning only one of them.

No guesses for the home match they won

As I keep saying "Leeds United, the gift that keeps on giving".

Farley right on the money again

Interesting read from the guardian.
No surprises there of course.
From the start for me, and ought never to have been allowed to take over a football club.

A glimmer of joy in a dark season

He's lost 9 in a row including the end at Everton

Chelsea drew the game before Lampard joined. Baffling they didn't just keep the assistant in charge as an interim. Boehly knows his soccer though.

[The Subhuman]

The goal scored was against the run of play and deflected

Pound for pound the worst performing team in the prem by a distance

[1964white]

Chelsea have drawn x 2, lost x 4 of the last six PL matches

Lost six of their last eight PL/CL matches, scoring 3 goals in those games.

Relegation form, shame they are safe

[Jaydog]

This mornings light relief

[Cjay]

Look what Frank has reduced them to

[Cjay]

You have to laugh

[Jaydog]

Chelsea 11/8 for a top four spot under Poch.
If you take that you are odds on an idiot

Horrendous season for Chelsea

Spent around £500 million in the transfer windows

Only won eleven games all season

Knocked out of both domestic cup competitions in the first round, admittedly by Man City.

Employed Fwank Lampard again as coach in April

Chelsea's form dropped after Lampard took over and produced a first bottom-half finish since 1996 and a record low tally of points and goals scored in the Premier League era. In terms of winning percentage, Lampard also had the worst record (9%) among every Chelsea managers who had led 3 or more matches.

Fwank won one of his eleven games in charge at Bournemouth.

Knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, 4-0 on aggregate.

38 goals scored, fourth lowest in the PL.

No goalscorer in double figures - Sterling & Havertz on 9 each.

Finished in 12th position on 44 points.

Strange they spent £500 million, but couldn't find a striker with the money Chelsea throwing around like confetti.
