When did we last perform that badly?

On a quiet night shift which sadly gives me even more time to process that pile of crap we saw today, and one thing i was thinking was in my whole time of following Chelsea have we ever performed as badly as that in my 25 years of being a Chelsea fan?

I have spent about half hour trying to think and i can only come up with two, one was the 3-0 at The Ethiad in 15-16 and the other was the 0-3 vs Sunderland in 10/11, both of which like today we had the keeper (on those occasions Begovic and Cech respectively) to thank for it only being 3.

While we have had our share of rotten games down the years i can't recall any quite as bad as today and those two.

By the way David Luiz should never put a Chelsea shirt on again. That was the worst performance of any central defender I can remember, it was almost as bad as his turn at the World Cup semi final in 2014

The guy is facking awful

The worst performance I've ever seen was the one against City at the Etihad under Conte last season.

Nothing even comes close to that!

I was just about to say the same thing Brum,but yesterday was bloody awful as well.I think that Sarri will sort the problems out ,especially in defense,maybe even cuff a few ears !.
As for the C/F, well, how long must we tolerate a complete waste of space in the team?,hopefully he will be gone in January.

It was the 1st time I can recall seeing a Chelsea team going out looking like they weren't trying to win harle and it was embarrassing.

Conte should have been given his marching orders for that.

That game last season against City, really bought into question my loyalty to Chelsea !
and i've never thought that in 50 years !

only joking of course .

It certainly bought into question my loyalty for Conte, there was absolutely no excuse for it. If he was trying to make a statement about something, then my message to him would be - don't do it with my club!

By the way harle, are you going 3rd time lucky with your joke!

I rate sarry, but I dont understand why kante isnt dm. I think he is the best in the world in that position.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's never been a DM, it would neglect his strongest attributes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? He is the only player id have over fernandinho.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Because his game is all about proactively anticipating, as a sole DM he would leave a lot of gaps in behind.

His best comes in a two man midfield with a holder behind him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s not what happened at Leicester. Drinkwater didn’t sit behind him in a holding position, that was a two man midfield.

Kante is world class as an interceptor, in the middle of the park reading the game and intercepting from the front, but also seeing the danger and dropping deep to do the same.

Sarri is using him as neither one or the other right now a I couldn’t figure out what he was supposed to be doing yesterday. At one point, as the smallest player on the pitch, he was stood in the box waiting for a cross to come in!

That was an absolute shambles yesterday
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His partnership with Drinkwater was based on the understanding that when one of them goes to press the other covers.

Kante at the base of a 4-3-3 would leave an incredible amount of gaps between the lines. To play this position you need to be disciplined positionally and good at passing. Kante is not a bad passer of the ball, however he is too aggressive.

Conte tried it at Chelsea for his first few games, and massively backfired, particularly against Arsenal, where Kante was picked apart by Ozil.

Brummie, it wasn't my joke mate, it was sent to me on YTube,and I thought that it was very clever, especially as it was made by a Turkish guy,who lives in Germany !.
Anyway, some people are very touchy and fragile,they should get out and about more !

From a cowardice pov that was horrendous but ultimately as sad as it is Conte went into it looking for a respectable scoreline and got it.

The three mentioned above we looked like 10 guys who won the chance to play in a PL game with a pro keeper.
