Match Report: Embarrassing Chelsea players surrender in 3-0 crushing by BrightonChelsea were beaten 3-0 by Brighton in an un utter humbling at home which is a new low of the whole BlueCo project.With everything on the line, Chelsea conceded early from a corner to make it clear to everyone that they weren’t going to even try and earn a point today.The away team were playing well, and racked up a couple of shots to follow their goal. Rob Sanchez chucked in his usual mistake, and was only saved by a Trevoh Chalobah clearance off the line. Chelsea didn’t land a glove on their opponent.Liam Rosenior’s team were very lucky it was only 1-0 at the break, but their luck didn’t hold in the second period.
Brighton got the goals they deserved, and any remaining resolve evaporated from the home team.MOTM – N/AAnalysisThere is nothing really to analyse from this game. This was a Chelsea team who were quite visibly not attempting to play, shamelessly going on strike to get their manager removed.The first half was the worst half of football we can remember from a Chelsea team, at least in terms of effort. They didn’t make a tackle, barely were able to string passes together or take even the most speculative of shots.This is a new low, and we can’t see Rosenior surviving this.TeamsSanchez; Fofana (Garnacho h/t), Chalobah, Hato; Gusto (Acheampong 90+2), Caicedo, Lavia (Essugo 72), Cucurella: Neto, Delap (Guiu 72), Fernandez (c)Unused subs: Sharman-Lowe, Tosin, Sarr, Andrey Santos, Derry.StatsQuote of the game“In the basics, in the pride that you should have in wearing the shirt, that was unacceptable… the players as well need to have a look in the mirror for what they put in.
You can talk about tactics, tactics come after the basics. Having more courage to play, winning duels, winning headers, tackles, conceding terrible goals. That was an unacceptable performance tonight.” – Liam Rosenior finally turns on his players, knowing the jig us up.
