Rotation ain't selection. @sonofchelsea.bsky.social explains how the Blues' woes are caused by the latter, not the former. And uses much better grammar.

Chelsea could be accused in recent years of lacking seriousness. The emotion of Sunday proved that this shit matters to the players, their coach and it reflected in a big win. Hopefully this was the turning point the club needed. #CFC open.substack.com/pub/theratio...

There is this weird perception that simply passing the ball a lot makes you a good football team. It doesn't and Enzo Maresca's Chelsea prove it. therationalperspective.substack.com/p/the-underl...

I really dislike everything about Chelsea right now. It’s so unserious, it’s so shallow, it’s so insulting and lacking anything to be proud of.

Daniel Childs @sonofchelsea.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

There comes a point where incompetent players are not to blame as much as the coaches that keep playing him. How anyone can look at current Chelsea with Robert Sanchez as their first choice and not conclude you are being insulted must enjoy being gaslit

Good we are signing players for….2026/27 - anything to improve next season? GK, CB, CM, ST? Or is the new strategy just to keep buying for some theoretical future. Don’t worry it will better, in the potential future.

Maresca is insulting supporters intelligence by trying to claim Chelsea “are making progress” from two months ago. Given 1 league win in last 7, a slide down the table and lack of squad depth/quality being exposed. #CFC

We're definitely in a spiral at the moment and I'm waiting to see signs of something changing to arrest it. Couple of relatively achievable ones would be: - DM cover - Alternative ST - Roll back the man marking stuff to earlier season (@kierdoyle.bsky.social explains this well in his latest pod)
