Atalanta 2–1 Chelsea | Passive

Four games, no wins, and you’re left wondering how we’ve managed to drain all the momentum out of our own season. Chris and Joe break down a night where Chelsea were passive, slow out the blocks again, and never once went for Atalanta’s throat — even at 1–0 up and seemingly in control. We get into the patterns creeping back in: sluggish starts, no punch after conceding, and a team that looks comfortable only when the wind’s blowing our way. Enzo’s legs, Pedro’s hold-up play, and Badiashile and Gittens showing exactly how big the quality drop-off is from the first XI. Then it’s Maresca. The subs, the constant reshuffling at centre-back, full-backs playing midfield, Tosin reappearing from nowhere, and that uncomfortable feeling of not quite knowing if he’s the guy — even after Barcelona. Plus a look ahead to Everton and a December run that could get ugly fast if this wobble isn’t snapped. Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chelsea poster from Graficona⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chris Sheen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Kevin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
