Atalanta 2–1 Chelsea | Passive
Description
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.
