FANS were left saying “Chelsea are the problem” after SIX Blues flops scored for their new clubs at the weekend.
Stamford Bridge has become a shadow of its former self since Todd Boehly replaced Roman Abramovich in 2022.
Chelsea saw four different coaches take control of the touchline last season as they finished 12th in the Premier League.
And despite looking a tad more consistent under Mauricio Pochettino, they still find themselves 11th this term.
One of Chelsea’s biggest issues under the Argentine is the amount of chances they fail to put away.
The likes of Nicolas Jackson, Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk have missed several sitters this season.

One added: “Once upon a time together in 13th.”
The biggest impact came from Kai Havertz, who left Chelsea for Arsenal in a £65million deal last summer.
He netted a timely late winner against Brentford in the 86th minute on Saturday – his eighth goal of the domestic campaign.
But there was another goal for one of Chelsea’s capital rivals, with Timo Werner netting in Tottenham’s 4-0 win at Aston Villa.
He is on loan from RB Leipzig until the summer and now has two goals under Ange Postecoglou.
Heading abroad, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made it 11 for Marseille after netting twice in a 2-0 win over Nantes.
Christian Pulisic hit his eighth goal for AC Milan as he scored in a 1-0 win against Empoli.
And Michy Batshuayi now has seven goals for Fenerbahce after bagging a late penalty in the 4-1 win over Pendikspor.

There was even another strike for David Datro Fofana, who is still a Chelsea player but is yet to score in three games.
He is on loan at Burnley and hit his third goal in seven outings as Vincent Kompany’s side drew 2-2 at West Ham.
