Chelsea smash records against Manchester City… but for all the wrong reasons

Today has been a record-breaking day the Etihad – there’s not a lot to celebrate from a Chelsea fan’s perspective, however…

Oh, you didn’t hear the news? Yeah, Chelsea are having their arse handed to them by Man City at the Etihad. We had expected it to be a difficult match, but 4-0 down within 24 minutes is just an utter joke, really.

At least we’ll have something to remember this game by, as if the inevitable nightmares and permanent mental scarring won’t be enough – we’ve broken a couple of club records. Come on everyone – hoooraaaaay!

First of all…

Today is the 1st time in @ChelseaFC history that they have conceded 4 goals in the first 25 minutes. #CFC

…and also…

4 – Chelsea have conceded four goals in consecutive away top flight matches for the first time since December 1990. Capitulating.

There’s not much to say on the matter, to be honest. Whether you believe that Sarri is capable of rebuilding this mess, or we need to call on someone like Guus Hiddink, is a matter of opinion.

One thing is for sure though, what is happening at this club right now is unacceptable – and it’s not Sarri’s fault. There are multiple highly-paid players within that squad who simply are not cut-out to play at this level.

Perhaps this is what was needed to expose their flaws.
