@ConnCFC : Chelsea have been so painful to watch this season. Please end the season
@UtdEIIis: You’ve got to be seriously sick if you’re enjoying Chelsea’s downfall this season…
@KieranMaguire : Chelsea have just made the most expensive substitution in world history taking off in a single change
Fernadez £107m
Fofana £70m
Pulisic £57m
Sterling £47.5m
Total £281.5m
@ConnCFC : Whichever manager takes over this Chelsea team permanently is an extremely brave man. We are a mess.
@FellMentKE : Chelsea spent £600M only to lose to a low-budget Brighton. Football isn’t for the weak.
@markgoldbridge : 33% possession with a starting 11 worth over 500 million.
Brighton 22 shot and 8 on target to Chelsea’s 1…
How’s that Lampard feel good factor now?
Ridiculous appointment
@SJftbI : Potter’s win percentage won’t fool me, Lampard is still the worst manager I’ve seen at Chelsea in my lifetime
@254_icon : Disturbing scenes at Stamford Bridge as stewards force Chelsea fans to stay and watch the whole game.
