Chelsea FanCast

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a dreadful defeat at home to bottom of the league Southampton.

In part one we discuss an indefensible performance, devoid of inspiration. Did Potter make too many changes? Is no consistency of selection hampering progress and has Potter been hamstrung by the need to protect players coming back from injury. There was no pattern, no organisation, no finishing and no clue and all this against a Southampton team bottom of the league, with an awful record and no manager. Simply unacceptable.

Arguably of more concern was the injury to Cesar Azpilicueta who recieved a terrible kick in the head thanks to a badly directed overhead kick. .Our best wishes go to 'Dave' for a speedy recovery.

And Chidge & JK have come up with a couple of songs to cheer you up or depress you further...

In part two we ask is Potters out of his depth; not elite level and not the leader or personality Chelsea needs? Is he wasting players? I.e., making them worse? He’s lost the match day support; if he loses to Spurs, Leeds and then BVB knock us out of the Champions' League, surely his position is untenable.

We could argue he should go now but who could/should replace him - temporarily and/or permanently? And how much of this is on Boehly and Co? Are they stubborn or clueless? 

And a timely reminder that whilst it may be truly depressing on the pitch, off the pitch before and after remains as the main joy of following our club. The definition of a great day out ruined by 90 minutes of football.
