I understand Chelsea hasn’t been themselves for a while and we like to banter them but it’s literally strange seeing teams getting points there like it’s nothing. I’m not even trying to banter but Arsenal have better record at Bridge in recent years than Chelsea themselves. It’s crazy when you deepen it. Like what has happened? Even when teams struggle, usually home games are a bit advantageous. Look at United, they are shit but they have decent record at home for most part.

    It’s the pitch size. I think they struggle with getting pressured by away teams.

    Man this is appreantly not a good place to ask for civilized opinions. Watch the Joey night podcast instead! The rival fans are very respectful of each other and objective in their discussions! 🫡

    We have short breath. If the game doesn’t go our way early own, we feel down quickly! This has to do with lack of experience. They tend to play bigger teams better probably because it’s more hyped! In this day and age, many young people are driven by the commotion which is on bad days, is the same thing that kills them. Since last year, I truly believed in the psychological Management of the team. Poch is definitely better at making players feel at home. I’m 35 now but I would have love it if I constantly had the support of older adults in my 20s. It definitely is a factor. When we have bad results, I try to avoid this subreddit whether it’s our own fans or rival fans because it won’t have any sane takes.

    Having lived in the US for the last 10+ years, commercials tend to exaggerate their product and give you false hope ans you feel everything will come easy to you with no effort, no money spending or worry which is absolutely unrealistic. I am afraid our club is being advertized to the players and the fans this way!!! You can’t skip learning, peactising and experience to achieve success. I wish the media team tones down too! It’s too much noise. Discipline, profesionalism, and the correct mindset is required to win trophies!

    There is so much unhealthy pressure at the Bridge unfortunately

    It turns out having a transfer policy of throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks leads to a complete disconnect on the pitch. They are a completely random bunch of players, not a team. Boehly’s like a 12yo making signings on fifa.

    Not from England nor a Chelsea fan, but just felt that Chelsea has gone through a torrid period of manager changes, owner change, mass sales of players with (relatively) unproven replacements.

    The current team is unrecognisable to their UCL winning team, they’re still developing, many young players with potential there, if they give Poch some time, i expect Chelsea to get back to where they belong (challenging for the top 4) in a couple of seasons time.

    Since 30 July, Brentford have won the same amount of league games at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea have.

    Chelsea are bad.

    This is compounded at home, because when the team plays bad the fans turn hostile and reduce the players confidence further. For teams with such a poor relationship with their fans playing in front of them at home can actually be a disadvantage

    Mercenaries now represent the club entirely. It’s not surprising.

    Changing ownership from an orphan who became one of the richest and influential people over the globe to some fat lard is the reason. No respect.
