How he thought Disasi and Badi at the back was a better option than sticking with Trev and Silva is beyond me!!!! And Enzo is fucking injured ffs!!!! Just rest him and play Connor next to Caicedo. For some reason Carns doesn’t even get a sniff. My mind is blown by some of these decisions

Things I don't like about Poch. - Poor buildup structure - Poor attention to defence - Lack of tactical flexibility - Not ruthless (too patient to keep repeating what's not working) - Poor defensive shape plus set-pieces - Overall outdated tactics - Slow reaction to substitutions -Poor squad management ( too soft with the players ) He has his good sides of him too, but the baggages are too much.

enzo not tracking back put gilchrist in a 2v1 all game, and mudryk not playing defense forced cucu into a 2v1 all game. its like the boys dont like each other and dont want to fight for eachother its absolutely disgraceful

The worst thing is that he's doesn't blame the players for what happened

Big ups Joey. Arsenal fan here. Love the channel, love the content. Shoutout to your role on The Kick-off. Pochettino has to go bro. In reference to the 6-0 in 2014 it still hurts. Even the UEL final. I’ve always seen the game against y’all as bigger than the NLD and our rivalry in general. Hope you get European football next season. Last night was just our night. I love my club but honestly feel Chelsea have over taken us with 2 UCL's, 2 UEL, 5 PL's, 6 FA Cups & 3 EFL Cups all in the 21st century. That's heritage bro. You guys know how to win.

And yet we are 3 points off 6th somehow lmao

Joey Knight Podcast : THE BELLIES AND BIKINIS EDITION 😂😂

Love your podcasts Joey, defo pick of the bunch. I'd like to see some watchalongs from you. Keep up the great work.

I think Thiago Silva being 39 was still fatigued from the city game but no idea why chalobah wasn’t playing. Enzo shouldn’t have started, should have had sterling play LW and Mudryk as the 10 imo, could also have had chukwumeka as the 10 tho.

“Idk man, I really dk 😞” Me too Joey, me too 💔 It’s really hard to tell what’s coming for us later because Chelsea is consistent at being inconsistent this season. I just hope whatever comes next is the best for us fr

One thing to not forget is that if it weren’t for a few brilliant saves from Petrovic, it could have been way more disastrous than 5-0. I hope the players are embarrassed, it could serve as a wake up call. I mean Arsenal fans chanting “ole ole” at every pass Chelsea completed?? At the Emirates?? On a London derby?? We got bullied and humiliated.

They given up now mate. After throwing the game against city. Seasons done in their minds. Zero effort and fucks given. Will be some hard results coming.

Cole palmer FC

Poch just isn’t good enough. You and josh need to stop defending him. He is a decent manager but nowhere near chelseas level. Poch wont even touch tuchels feet

Was waiting for this since the game

Its not reactionary to sack poch, its not his first game of the season. It's end of april.

Thank you! I think this is why your channel is growing so much and should continue to grow. You are the most down-to-earth Chelsea KZfaqr. I agree with you that in my 20+ years of fandom, this has to be the worse Chelsea performance I've ever seen. Lot of blame on the manager and the players. But what has become so exhausting this season is the Poch out chant after every single Chelsea loss. It's just so exhausting and so reactionary. I still have questions about him and his tactics for sure, but to your point, that would just add so much instability. Still a legitimate push can be made for a Europa League spot. Fans also need to recognize the progress. I mean, Chelsea didn't get beyond the third round of either cup last season. And yes course there's frustration with all of this because Chelsea should have lifted a cup already this season and should be in the final of the FA cup. But again, people need to chill the hell out cuz sacking the manager is not going to improve the current situation.

This match made me 100% poch out.. his tactics are so fuckin bad.

The center back pairing, Gallagher continuing to play at the 10 despite not having 1 characteristic of a 10, and Enzo not defending, slowing the game down too much, and not even being able to pass (his only good quality lately), are the reasons we lost that bad yesterday. Gilchrist also looked overmatched.

Kids are taught at an early age to communicate and talk to each other, tell each other where to be, warn each other about any danger, and I can't say I see that with this Chelsea team

I would have sacked him after the cup final

Love the dedication but enjoy your vacation man. You put out enough good stuff to enjoy the break. Also, if we're being honest you putting this vid out shows way more dedication than half the players last night.

The special one would make things special again Jose,Jose,Jose🔥 Joey you didnt shed some light on Jackson's big misses 😮 men he is .not our man

Joey big up as always. I'll be 48 years young this year and went through the relegation and promotion in the late 80's as a kid supporting the team. I haven't been in this much despair about this club since then. I feel no connection whatsoever with these players and specifically this manager. It's a horrible empty feeling

Kai Havertz is so shit and we made him look like a prime R9

I sometimes feel for Poch with all the injuries he has had to deal with and batshit owners, but he doesn't help himself. I love Alfie, but he is not a first-team starter currently, and certainly not at RB. Both Disasi or Trev would have been better options, and Badi needs to be dropped, he has been awful. Clearly, Enzo needs surgery, just let him get it. Carney was the one player who could have helped out that midfield and yet was the only player on the bench who didn't come on.

I needed this video immediately after the game.

That centre back choice was ultra weird, Silva and Chalobah are our best fit centre backs and we were playing the highest scorers in the league. Nuts. I don't think changing the coach would change a lot though in the current situation, proper recruitment is the priority.

How have we spent this much money yet look weaker than ever - poor manager, no experience, poor players, awful owners - the club is gone

The only reason I can think of for him playing that back 4 was so poch could have a good look and see if them players will be in his team next year

I don’t understand the appointment in the first place. He’s done absolutely nothing in terms of managerial success. “He got to a champions league final” and what happened? He benched the player who scored a hatrick against city to get them through and played an INJURED Harry Kane. The bloke has nothing to offer this side but excuses and poor management, along side a plethora of average performances and tactical disasterclasses

I think it’s time to admit it…The old players and manger we had were never the problem. Tuchel, Havertz, Pulisic, Christensen, Rudiger, and soooo many others. All of them are performing better than everyone we have on the pitch now. We also need to stop propping up the players that are slacking and not carrying their weight. Jackson, Sterling, Enzo our entire defense except for Trev and Silva. It’s a disgrace and frankly I feel really really sorry for Poch cause he deserved better than this mess he’s been stuck in. Every single manager would struggle with this team. Still forever a Blue 💙

Another thing is we need a manager that is ruthless and also can manage the player a allow the training specialists do their job

The biggest problem with this team especially our defense is clearly the injuries the attack need to work on Pressing Finishing and tracking back. But as long as the boys at the back are healthy i think we'll do much better next season

tuchel back plz

Thanks for posting mate I’ve been waiting for your view on it. What I see is Poch has lost these players, I think back to JT and Jose and how playing for the badge was everything, these kids don’t have any strong mature leadership on the pitch and Poch is not going to get them playing to their strength, we are coming to the end of the season and we still look so disjointed with zero style of play. I’ve seen some low points with our club especially the 80s but this is different it all started with the UK government, then sacking Techel then these new owners buying players like it a FIFA vid game and ripping the soul out of our club. We’re fucked and if Poch stays we are going to stay bang average for a long time. I know a lot of fans don’t want Jose back but he would start with getting our defense in shape, stop leaking goals and then build from there. He would steady the ship and the players would have nowhere to hide… there would be zero ghosting out of games like we watched against Arsenal. He’s not coming back so Poch will start our next campaign and then when we start tanking again he will be fired, he should be let go now so a new manager can start the rebuild.

the defence where that bad Havertz scored

Mate, even if u think poch is a very good manager, this job cannot be continued he csnt manage this squad. Poch saying some stupid things in the interviews, his decisions on game always confused, he just MUST be sacked

Pass the ball to Alfie so he can pass it back every time

Im sick of seeing things before poch..even more so when my wife who has only followed footy for a YEAR is seeing them before him.. Embarrassing..

the title is exactly what I thought when I turned the game off in the 70', but Im only 23 thought mightve had some bad games before the takeover :/

We beat Everton 6-0 and Liverpool get stuffed 2-0 by them today. This makes me feel a little better but not much.

These players are clearly not good enough or experienced enough. Im really starting to think that its got nothing to do with the manager. Most of the big games we have looked the better team but they are so inexperienced and underdeveloped they cannot play every 3 days. They also cant motivate themselves for the lower teams. The attitude is disgusting and all stems to these absolute idiot owners. There is massive problems at this club and it starts at the top and trickles right the way down the structure. It will take years and years to rectify. Especially if they dont change the project now and recruit experience

It's agonising being a Chelsea fan atm. I can't see a way out any time soon, we've successfully turned into a mid table club

John Terry has his Coaching Badge I genuinely believe he should be given a chance to manage CFC

please get mourinho and john Terry as his number two he would make this team wake up and if you didn't you would be sold as for the defence why change silva and chalobah some of the changes poch makes are laughable the way he sets as up

that was our first clean sheet since end of january in a 0-0 draw i believe

The thing is, I’m not sure playing Badiashille and Disasi is poch’s decision. They were signed based on advice from Stewart and Paul Winstanley. They use data when signing player. I’m not saying it’s right, but imo the owners want to see Disasi and Badiashille play because of this. I think Poch is caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

The owners need to learn ‘connect’ is everything in European football. The manager for a start gives us NONE!!!

Literally trev and Silva help win a champions league idk why he won’t ever play them consistently

Everyone knew poch wasn’t the right man as soon as he took over, he’s had more than enough time and we haven’t got much better tbh

These chelsea fans be complaining as if they haven't been spoiled with sugar daddy money for the last 20yrs😂.

This club use to be the fans club we wanted a olayer we got him we wanted a manager we got him it feels as if theres a large wall between us and ownership now that they dont even listen to us when we ask for change

What I’m starting to understand is in this shiiii world u have to be connected with its factions. Like they played on Saturday then had to play on Tuesday, that’s horrible

I’m convinced we need Mourinho back at Chelsea to get us back into it.

Honestly im not too worried about our Centrebacks going into next season with Trev and Levi whom i actually trust and Badiashille and Fofana who hopeffully will regain form after injuries and Axel who has put in some monstrous performances and could come good next season and maybe Reece will play at Cb to get back in form Imagine Reece x Levi

that nicholas jackson 1 on 1 was horrendous how is this fraud in the team. cost me 40 quid on my acca

I kind of wish we were bold and take a huge risk and bring in Cesc Fabregas as coach if noone else is available. But I cannot have Poch be in charge anymore. Sometimes you gotta admit when you're wrong. I backed him until mid January but it's just got worse and worse. Individual brilliance from Cole is the only reason he is still in the job.

The only thing that makes sense to that CB pairing is that I wouldn't be surprised that Poch has been told from higher up to not start them because they aren't the "future of the club." Disaster...

Gilchrist is not a full back. its hard to say, but even as a CB gilchrist hasnt great potential, he never was a jewel for the academy. People like him cause h shows passion just this. Josh Acheampong as a RB has a brighter future. Humphreys is MUCH better than Gilchrist as a CB. Gilchrist is just not good for chelsea

Mate… really didn’t you expect this result.. I for one did, and knew without Palmer, they would fold like a cheat cigar. Never in my life have I placed a bet against Chelsea, but I know mates who did and cleaned up.. Time for wholesale changes from top to bottom

They need to crawl on their hands and knees and beg Tommy Tuchel to come back. If they hadn't ridiculously sacked him in the first place, we would't have been through the past two years of abject misery.

I thought I’ll be waking up to a news that poch doesn’t have a job. Man shit is sad, how is poch a world class coach? When he hasn’t won no trophy in his coaching career, and if he has please tell me what trophy it is. I’ll be waiting

Mate how in anyones right mind is poch playing badshille and disasi at the back over Thiago and chalobah! I was saying myself lets give poch time and now after that decision which basically gave arsenal the win before the game even started, im not so sure about poch staying. Did you see that beautiful cross put in by Connor it went straight to Jackson and he ended up hand-balling it. Imagine Drogba having them chances against city and arsenal! But this is the players that play for chelsea now! There just not good enough! We have a 21 year keeping chelsea from relegation thats how bad we are at this moment in time.

i did myself a favor by not watching the game

If we don’t get these disasterclasses now when should we get them? Next season? This was Poch’s way of showcasing our defense to the owners for next season because Silva and chalobah will inevitably go. Our back 3 bar Gilchrist is worth 130m and see what they produced. It is not Poch fault that they signed kids for a club which is expected to win titles and finish top 4. He isn’t a magician either. The Epl is unforgiving as well. It took Arteta almost half a decade to build that team and even then he had to buy experienced players from City. We can’t acknowledge the fact that these players are inexperienced and in the same breath point hands at the manager when we loose. We all know the recruitment was flawed, the team is set up to fail. Nkunku has always been an injury prone player, fofana chilwell and James they’re all injury prone. We’ve not been lucky

POCH is GREAT - at perpetuating inconsistency. I wanted POCH to work, but all season he has shown the same confusion as ownership (no wonder they like each other). It reminds me how my college manager, despite a poor program, drew the best out of us to get to Nationals. A true manager makes a difference. FACT.

A very honest account Joey, if you got rid of Poch, who in your mind would bring back the club to playing decent football .

It's so jarring because I'm not pro poch, far from it but these players definitely ain't helping the case. That back line needs sorting, injury crisis needs sorting, I don't think it's fair on poch but something needs to give.

The problem with certain managers think they are Geniuses.

I WISH TO DISAPPEAR LIKE JOSH AVESTE WHEN MUDRYK DROPS A STINKER, BRO STRAIGHT UP GHOSTED BUT IF IT WAS STERLING, I PREFER NOT TO SPEAK

Guys let's be real here. All the negativity is from the media and from the people who want to see Chelsea fail. Have any of you looked at the injury list? You can't deny it! The media is making it a big deal and claiming Chelsea are finished and all that BS. Could arsenal play like that and be at the top if they had 11 players injured as well? You can make an elite team with those injured players. You can't blame anyone but luck. Stop adding to the negativity and face the truth. 80% of those injured players should be on the pitch and that will solve 90% of our problems. We've been shitting on arsenal for a while now, let them enjoy their petty win. Just stop the BS negativity.

I'm 31 and I agree with the title whole heartedly

The middle of the pitch was useless last night other than Conor Gallagher who wasn’t great was better than everyone else in a central position. I never want to see Disasi and badiashille line up together again. Enzo is injured he shouldn’t be playing it’s the equivalent of having 10 men. Caicedo ain’t very good and Jackson can’t header a ball! Thanks for the content BTW, u have become my favourite Chelsea KZfaqr

I’ve got to put some blame on Potch for the lineup he’s put out especially with the defense but last night was a shit show from the players. Niko Jackson was our best player last night and he couldn’t finish his dinner so it says a lot about our team at the minute

Non-league Madueke

Terrible yesterday

Disgusting performance. Every player last night should hold themselves in shame, none of them care or fight for the badge. Poch clueless in tactics and had no balls to change things at halftime when we still had a chance. This team is taking all the joy of the game away

I miss the strong defence , I miss the bastards. We need more heart we need proper leaders

We know chalobah and silva are going, Fofana unreliable and badiashile needs to be sold so potentially need 2/3 CBs this summer as we are left with disasi and colwill

Low key think he accepted defeat before a ball was even kicked to rest everyone for Villa.. probably making excuses but I'm trying to find some sort of silver lining 😅

If we recruit good players, this coach is to make them bad players in no time. Mark my words

There are more humillations to come because pundits and the media continue the hysteria that Palmer is so good for Chelsea. He saw the team sheet and injuries and said he was not feeling well in fear that the game was going to be a big fight he did not want to be a part of as it would be too much pain for him and Chelsea would be thrashed making him look bad. Continuous disgraceful behaviour and the manager and media let him get away with it. Such an attitude when things get tough and in taking on defensive responsibilities is why Man City did not play Palmer and then sold him. You may get some goals from him which next season will certainly be less because teams will know him better and it is unlikely he will get 10 penalties to take again, but you also get the negative and selfish attitude that will have a negative influence on the other players and a refusal to fight for the team defensively and that means no consistency and low blocks will ensure Chelsea struggle to score, but are ready to give goals away in the process. It's a recipe for disaster the manager has created with others who praise Palmer and let him get away with his weaknesses and we now may see the team end the season lower down the table with Palmer than last season without him, having heard ridiculous and hysterical calls that he has singlehandedly carried the Chelsea team. The table at the end of the season will show he and his negative and selfish attitude and influence unwilling to fight in defensive duties has singlehandedly wrecked it. Peace and love

No idea why he dint play silva and trev its wierd

POCH HAS TO GO. It is not just a reaction to this game either. He is just a terrible fit for these players. There is no control. No patterns of play its just high pressing and trying to create chances in transition. That is why Gallagher is thriving this season while.players like Enzo and Caicedo are struggling. Without patterns of play Enzo when he gets the ball has basically no one to pass to. So ends up.just passing it side ways. Caicedo struggles because we press high up the pitch to try and win the ball so when that doesn't work and we get played through caicedo is left isolated EVERY MATCH. There is no defensive organisation. No control. Just basket all like transitional football that doesn't suit the players we have. So when we come up against a team that is solid and organised defensively we have no ideas. His tactics haven't changed since His Spurs days. They are outdated.

Is it called a dugout in soccer/football?

realistically those who say poch out. who could we replace him with that would do a better job and is a realistic signing. under this new ownership we are different and they are looking for long term success. maintaining some sort of stability after the huge transfer windows we have had would be the best for these young players. messing with that is very high risk and the reward doesnt live up to it. these kids right now arent at city, liv, arsenal level YET...

I'll let him know he's losing his job if we don't make Europe

Chelsea and united in the same boat right now🤝

The fact that Domino UK Twitter account ripped us 😂

Badishiele cant play for chelsea anymore, he is nervous, he dont want the ball, no decisions are correct, i hate him

There's only one way to save our club: Support Chelsea with your absence and silence. Stop watching this mediocrity on tv and stop going to the games and this will hurt the owners short term but it will send a serious message that without us Chelsea fans there's no CFC and there's no business. It's the only way! This is a resuscitation method but our club is unconscious or quite possibly dead!

Chelsea fans around the world it’s time for us to open our eyes and see that Chelsea is not going well since all this set of people came to the club. - SACK Laurence Stewart - SACK Mauricio Pochettino - SACK Paul Winstanley

Chelsea won't crack 50 points this season. Complete shite

Never give up # Europe

Palmer had a rest so did Challibar .He knew we had little chance against Arsenal.The rest are all winable games.Could be genious .Keep the faith we were not that bad .

If we could get Amorim and Ivan Toney in, would that solve things?

Everyone Raves about mudryks pace didnt see him tracking back or closing anyone down what a discrace he was last night not the only one obviously

Fully expected the loss as knew arsenal would be well up for the game last night, didn't expect that capitulation though, as usual second half showing did it for us, I'm not poch out but this billion pound squad is anything but

Worst manager since Graham potter and to be honest potter didn't even have likes of palmer, gusto or caicedo
