Have some shame Stevie, how are you a pundit and getting your facts wrong on tv. Chelsea haven't beaten teams that are being relegated, in fact they drew against Burnley and Sheffield, but beat Everton 6-0, their biggest loss of the season, West Ham 5-0, biggest victory over their London rivals, 2-0 against Tottenham, that's a double over the number 5 club. Give Chelsea some credit already

I am a simple man, i run out of Salt I tune in to ESPN and borrow it from Stevie 🤷🏽

Steven need to worry about liverfool n just shout up geez

So do big clubs only get credit now if they beat Arsenal, Liverpool, or City? I mean come on, you cannot only gauge a team based on their performance against the current top sides - Stevie just refuses to credit Chelsea, in fact he doesn't even engage with an evaluation of their play, the man just speaks generally about their results

these "experts" dont even know who chelsea beat 😂

Only the top three have gotten more points than chelsea in the second half of the season we were 11th in January

Nedum is the only objective pundit on the show, the rest are clowns. Also let Stevie be salty, Liverpool's complete capitulation in the FA Cup, Europa and PL has him more bitter than usual

Is Stevie genuinely brain dead? The last 18 games Chelsea have only lost to Man City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, the three top teams in the country. If we were in this form all season we would be in the title race… It doesn’t matter how poor Newcastle and Man U have been we were 10+ points behind them, that takes a lot of catching up. We STILL don’t have literally most of our starting 11 either.

Rest of the premier league reverses a score they showed guts...... Chelsea reverses a score they got lucky 😶

Steve Nicol is a shameless Chelsea hater

I knw espn hates chelsea but we really improved as far as character goes we actually came back to win a fkin game and we are playin better football

Stevie forgets that Chelsea went down not because the other teams where on the rise. Chelsea went down because they were consistently poor and are now coning up because they are becoming consistently good. Stevie is a hater.

One thing I have noticed about this Chelsea team is they have become consistent since Enzo got injured. Can we say he has been the problem?

Actually it was 6.🤓☝

Poch is the right man for the job. When Chelsea were really good under Conte, Spurs were our main rivals. I loved that Spurs team because they were relentless. Poch improves teams year on year and slowly. If Jackson was clinical striker, we would have more points.

This team has lost only 1 for a long time and the one is against a very good Arsenal side. That game had many bad injuries. Even if you argue they aren’t improved, they have been scoring loads of goals, close to average of 3 per game. Remember around new year, they were r scoring even one eg October they scored only one the whole month. I think they have improved..

So why don't we say united, spurs, newcastle and villa are ahead just because we were inconsistent in the beginning? We lost 1 game in the last 14 in the league. This clown can't even get his facts straight for a live TV which is his only job.

Before the Arsenal game,Chelsea beat Everton & Man U,staged almost late come back at Villa Park!So what is Stevie talking about 😕

1 loss in 12, collected the 4th most points since the turn of the year. I think the boys are doing just fine

Chelsea put on good performances against the top six except for the Liverpool and arsenal game . And the pundits kept on saying why do they play better against the big six and are dismal against the rest of the league. Now they perform against the rest and yet still they find negatives.

Poch gradually shutting them up. Now 3 and a half games lolllll

Since the start of 2024, only the top 3 teams have won more points than Chelsea, and we have lost only once since October at home. We have only lost once in the last 13 pl games. Only the top 3 + Newcastle have scored more goals than Chelsea this season. It's ok to hate on Chelsea, but you have to be blind to not see the progress.

Had it been Arsenal, Liverpool or City who came back in late stages they'd say how brilliant Pep, Arteta & Klop are. Fact is Ponch made great subs today and it had a direct impact on the outcome. Be interesting to see Reece James & Maduke on the same side.

Chelsea isn't progressing because other teams aren't doing well, they're progressing because they're actually doing well. Other teams could've drop point and they drop point as well.

Nicol spoke a whole lot of Rubbish. If the other teams are inconsistent what does it have to do it with Chelsea performance. Chelsea were also in consistent and the improvement is very clear to see.

You are so blind not to beat the drum for Chelsea

Frank you are getting drawn in to foolish conversations with Craig

They high or what they beat spurs and west ham aswell

London is 🔵

When Chelsea wins,the other teams are not doing well,yeah right..Stevie is so salty like a grade one kid

Shame on these 3. Chelsea started the game well they were being outfought by a side fighting for survival but the fact that Chelsea turned up their energy for the last 20 minutes is a huge positive. Even after the winnings goal chelsea showed some game management to take the sting out of the game

Time is just what this team needs. Time with each other and time with Poch. Klopp's gegen-pressing didn't set in instantly nor did Pep's tiki taka. No manager will do any better with this team. It's just the growing pains of a young squad. Tactics may not be visible in every game, no consistency, chemistry and cohesion missing etc. We forget that even the best of players need to be settled not only on the field but off it too. New players, new environments and new surroundings. A new culture and homestead, add to the mix that the majority are youngsters too makes it difficult to adapt immediately. Sure, people will always point to the amount spent and mention that it should be relative to the success but this is a unique scenario. Boehly and co. not only invested in the first team but largely the potential second team which are either out on loan youngsters (Datro Fofana, Gabriel, Santos, Washington, Hutchinson etc.) or backups (Cucurella, Petrovic, Lavia, Ugochukwu, Chukwuemeka etc.). They tried to condense five years worth of work, scouting and development into a short space of time. Every time we sack a manager the whole process resets, this is essentially our first year under Poch, including different players once again. Projects like these need time to breathe. Sadly us football fans are impatient. Klopp, Pep and Arteta all had mediocre first seasons in charge with a somewhat more stable group of players and backroom operations than what we have had for the past couple of years. We probably have the most experienced and emotionally adept coach to deal with this core. No other manager will have the patience to handle this group as well as Poch has, period. Most coaches would constantly complain about the inexperience, scrap the project, start again with new players and thus the cycle continues yet Poch is dealing with it well enough. He understands that it's a process. Forget comparing him to his Spurs days, we're a basket case of a club at the moment where even the most tactically astute would suffer. The team speak highly of his man management. For a squad of this size, it's commendable that he's held the team together as well as maintain morale throughout. No other coach would deal with a young group and still give the likes of Golding, Gilchrist, Matos and Castledine a chance. Added to his push to build an English core of James, Chilwell, Colwill, Palmer and he's constant appreciation of Gallagher, he is probably the one person at the club who is striving to maintain Chelsea's recent traditions. Give this team and coach three years, same spine of players, no major overhauls then we can truly assess what we have.

Stevie should just shut up.The rest of them were up in the first place because we were not consistent and were not in form.

The only thing Stevie does is hate on Chelsea. They never liked Chelsea even when they won the Champions League😂. Stevie had no Footballing Career and now his taking it out on Chelsea. What a disgrace.

At this point if Chelsea beat Real Madrid 10-0 Steve Nicol would still have something bad to say about them. what a joke of a pundit lol

The difference between Potter and Poch is.... Poch had way more injured players in his time than Potter and yet won more matches and did better, this is what made Potter lose his job. Injury is unfair to good managers but Poch managed. I rest my case

ESPN don't you have Better Pundits????? Surely some are getting old and blind

Stevie, you gotta give them credit for their recent form in a chaotic season, with the youngest squad with formidable potential, and the exquisite and elegant Cole Palmer leading the precocious talent by example. The only way is up for them next season, at least top 4, maybe champions!

Haha Stevie's sarcasm was epic, he just swinging it the other way for them in saying exactly what they want to hear😂😂😂😂

Stevie's word will bite him next season. I just wish from Lord. We will switch on to ESPN UK again to watch his reactions. Till then take some rest. UP THE CHELS!!!

Who puts Stevie up there

Yeah yeah the rest of the teams decided to give Cheslea a free pass.. This guy...

West Ham, Spurs, Man United etc are actually the teams we’ve beaten lately. ESPN this is honestly a joke

Chelsea will win the premier league and Steve will still credit the second place team. 😂😂😂 This guy.

Credit to Forest they had a game plan that made it very difficult to play our game. There was no space in midfield for Cucurella to operate. Poch tweaked the setup and returned Cucurella to traditional LB to maintain shape- CHO was class though, what a player 😮‍💨... Forest were smelling blood and their players started relaxing their shape allowing us expose space that we never had in the first 70min. That's what allowed Reece the space to run it and cross to an unmarked Jackson. All in all I'm proud that the boys never gave up. There's been a real shift in mentality from this team. 4TH BEST FORM RECORD SINCE BOXING DAY! NEXT SEASON WE EATTTTTT

By no means do I think they are world beaters...but chelsea was the statistics "expected goals/wins" darling in the first half of the season and now are the 3rd highest point tallying team since the new year?

If you are Chelsea owners do you keep Poch next season? or do you replace him and with who would you replace him with?

At the end of last season under Lampard the discussion was whether they were capable of winning a single game so i guess we have to concede progress even if like united under some US billionaire franchise holder the football will always be an irrelevance secondary to marketing rights

Really Nicol? "You don't win titles with 3½ games" Surely? Cut them some slack, tell him Frank. Thank you Frank. Beating relegated teams is rough.

Stevie just succeeded in making a whole panel sound crass. Nobody says the team is a finished product people just talked about progress and he still can’t understand that

When it comes to Stevie, i never expect anything positive from him about chelsea. I'm not surprised.

In the last four out of if five games in the league in which we have Enzo out we got 6:0 against Everton( who beat Liverpool after that),5:0 against WH and two full remontadas away against Villa( robbed by VAR) which are kind of still 4th and Forest now. But ofc someone like Steve will remember only the disaster against Arsenal with Enzo on the pitch.

The asnal game we were coming from playing city and had a couple of injures like palma nd gusto

When Stevie got called out for his mistake he doubled down with sarcasm.

Lol. Steve.. it was the other way around. Chelsea has been inconsistent and hence all the other teams seemed to be surging.. Now they are getting their first team players slowly back from injuries. :)

ESPN have to bring in some fresh blood on their panel someone who actually is somewhat objective! Since Boxing day 2023 only Arsenal, City and Liverpool have won more points than Chelsea and only City have lost fewer league games. If that isn't some signof progress then what else is it?! Clowns like Stevie conveniently skip context when talking about results, Chelsea had like 13 players out for the Arsenal game and Poch inexplicably didn't play our first choice centre backs or fullbacks, Palmer was also out with an illness. Imagine Arsenal without Saka, Gabriel, Saliba and Ben White playing away from home I'd reckon they find it hard to win too!

Well Mr Dour if Liverpool had collected the same number of points in the last 4 games they'd still be in title race, with Lavia, Fofana, Nkunku, James fully fit Chelsea will be a force next season

I like how Stevie forgot Chelsea beat spurs and west ham also. Arsenal game was a blip

REECE JAMES IS GENERATIONAL! iNJURIES HAS BEEN ROBBING US OF AN ALL TIMER! The highlight today was the quality of performances we could have had all season with key players being fit and available. Our mental fortitude as regards coming back from behind of recent as been impressive. It shows this team have the stones to get results when it matters, sad we didn't have this much earlier. One has to give credit to players like Caicedo who's contributions in the team can be overshadowed by prettier performances from forwards like Cole Palmer. His off the ball work is superb, and his on the ball ability; technical ability, ball distribution, is top notch. The likes of Sterling and Nkunku need to be starting the rest of the games, we need to start and finish games strong, not chasing a win at the 80th minute with the likes of Mudryk and Noni being subpar for a huge chunk of the game.

If chelsea lose it's a problem if they win it's a problem. Lol.

The hate against CFC during nearly every show of them is insane …

Actually the wins in this run have included Newcastle, man United, Tottenham, West ham, Everton, Palace and forest, also included are draws away at both City and Aston villa, 26 points in the last 13 games, the dropped 4 points against Sheffield United and Burnley ironically are the worst results. Arsenal was a bad result but is an outlier.

Stevie is right in a way bcz he remembers what Chelsea was as a team that competed at high levels for seasons....

This Steve of a guy,does he understands improving and improved

That guy's forgot that every teams in EPL especially had to fight for not eliminated next season gonna play like the world gonna ends..that are scary stuff for every visitor team.. it's not a easy win for Chelsea but luckily their got many talented young player to step up. This team are young and if they keep playing like a team that beats west ham, this team gonna have a good runs next season..

I see bitterness in Steve. I am sorry, no one can help you.
