Thiago looks like he’s just absolutely fuming
That second goal was just hilarious
The funniest part to me is that Maupay just isn’t allowed to score. He had one cancelled out last match, and this time he was clear but passed it on.
Third season in a row that we win at Stamford Bridge
Gonna need another billion Todd.
Boehly getting the biggest reality check of his life
😄😂😂😂
Mindblowing fact: Reece James is yet to win a PL game with Chelsea in 2023 and we are in October
Brentford biggest club in west London confirmed ✅
People will say Chelsea were the better team, but this was a classic Brentfording.
You guys laugh now but you just wait, in 7 years, these players will come good
Just as they all leave on free transfers
while the good ones force their way out before that
At what point do we stop considering chelsea a big 6 club and start calling them a mid table team?
So glad we turned down players like Madisson because they‘re 26 but signed 291 17 year olds that are good but clearly not ready
Me too, man, me too.
The 17 year olds aren’t even the issue that much. If you’d just taken the money you spent on Disasi, Badiashile, Jackson, and Madueke you could have got Maddison and Szoboszlai and still had change.
Even just try and spent 1bn on a first XI, its actually not easy. Szobo, Maddisn, Rice midfield. Leao, Oshimen, Kubo attack. Thats still only like 500m.
Good performance from Brentford, same old from Chelsea. have possession, have chances, don’t finish them. Opposing team scores and continues to sit back and they can’t break them down.
Brentford played well defensively and deserved the win i
I really want to see what’s going on at the Chelsea training ground. Are you practicing finishing? What are you doing? I truly want to know what they’re doing in preparation for a match.
Oh my God what if Poch gets fired if we were to beat him next week
Surely this means Brentford is bigger than Arsenal
