Chelsea 17/18 thread - Absolute misery with a manager who sabotaged the team.
In the transfer window, Antonio Conte turned of his mobile phone. With a lack of communication and bad recruitment we had a shocking window.
Firstly, We sold Nemanja Matic to Man Utd, a player who was instrumental in winning the league the previous season, for £40m and Conte had a fight with top goalscorer Diego Costa over texts. He went AWOL. We bought Rüdiger for £29m to start our spending
We went after long term target, former player Romelu Lukaku. He ended up at Man Utd after his agent demanded £20m+ in agent fees. We got Alvaro Morata instead for £58m
For some reason, we bought Danny Drinkwater and Davide Zappacosta for a combined £60m....
Finally, after a long saga conte got his man, Tiemoue Bakayoko for £40m.....
First game of the season, Arsenal in the community shield. Conte puts out this awful line up and although we drew 1-1, we lost on penalties with new signing Alvaro Morata and GOALKEEPER Courtois blazing shots off target...
Premier league opening week, Burnley at home, ideal fixture right? Conte put this out....
Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas got red cards, Jeremie Boga’s Chelsea career ended after 15 mins and Burnley scored 3 at Stanford bridge with Sam Vokes scoring 2....
After wins against Tottenham, Everton and Leicester, things seemed to be heading in the right direction.
Then came the 1-0 loss at home to Man City with Kevin De Bruyne scoring a rocket, Man City were starting to run away with it already
Roma then visited the bridge in the first UCL game at home which ended in an entertaining 3-3 draw. Eden Hazard the MOTM with 2 goals. Decent start
We then went away to Rome and got humbled in an embarrassing 3-0 loss with only Eden hazard able to say he had a good game.
In inconsistent form, Mourinho, Matic and Lukaku visited us. Morata won the striker battle as he headed in a beautiful cross from azpilicueta, a link up we’ll see through out the season. 1-0
A few weeks later we faced Atletico Madrid at home in a crucial UCL game, if we came top of the group we’d surely have an easier tie, instead we got Barcelona in the next round as we drew 1-1. Morata, Willian and Christensen missing sitters
After a very boring 0-0 draw away to Norwich we faced them in a replay at home where they equalised in the 90th minute as Pedro and Morata got sent off and we won, eventually, on penalties.....
We then lost 4-1 away to Watford. 4-1 AGAINST WATFORD!!! Bakayoko dropped a sabotage esque disaster-class with a red card as Luiz and Cahill were torn to shreds by Jaanmat and Pererya 
The first leg vs Barcelona, a massive game, started well with Willian having his best ever game in a Chelsea shirt scoring only for Barcelona to capitalise on an error from Andreas Christensen to level the game at 1-1. Although we were still in it, morale was low
We ended February with a 2-1 loss away at old Trafford with Lukaku and lingard both scoring
Then a performance so bad only Antonio Conte would be brave enough to say:
"You have to accept every critic, but I am not so stupid to play against Manchester City open and to lose 3-0 or 4-0”
"You have to accept every critic, but I am not so stupid to play against Manchester City open and to lose 3-0 or 4-0”
On paper a 1-0 loss wasn’t bad but with 29% possession and 0 shots on target it was absolutely humiliating with players walking all over the pitch
After a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona, our manager Antonio Conte was seen smiling and laughing with Lionel Messi.
We then lost at home to Tottenham for the first time in 28 years. A record broken
At the end of the season we were in a top 4 race but blew it by drawing 1-1 at home to West Ham and 1-1 at home to Huddersfield. 2 extremely frustrating matches with the atmosphere dull and angry.
I know we won the FA cup but I really don’t care, it was a disgraceful and shocking season which ended in a 3-0 away defeat against Newcastle.
