“Lost the Plotter!” Chelsea FanCast #942
•
Stamford Chidge and Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover to look back at a horrifying defeat to Brighton and ahead to the Champions' League tie against Dinamo Zagreb.
On the show tonight, in part one, we discuss the bloody awful kit and the bloody awful performance. Why Potter is to blame for the wrong selection and wrong system; are Sterling and Cucurella victims or villains and was there something familiar about the omnishambles the players produced?
In part two, we ask is Potter too clever by half tactically. Has there been too much rotation? And are there genuinely mitigating factors underlying this result and where does Potter go from here. In part three. We look ahead to Wednesday night’s Champions League match at home to Dinamo Zagreb and in part four we have some emails to read out.
