3nil against Chelsea and Brighton was really hungry for more goals. At some point it felt like Brighton don't want the game to end because they were all having fun, from the goalkeeper down to the strikers or forward all played nothing impressive tonight and it looks like it will continue till the end of the season because the team or the squad doesn't look like the guys that played the Club World Cup games, too bad for them. Have been watching SkySports since they ended the game and I kept asking myself, "what will Liam Rosenior give as an excuse for this terrible display"? It looks like a joke but the man has ran out of ideas and he can't say is because of injuries or whatsoever, no this is a weak management. Since the PSG game things started falling apart, 4 games in the EPL no goals and tonight's game was poor, no shot on target, and tomorrow a Chelsea fans will say is because there was no Cole Palmer...the team is like Liverpool but in a weaker way.

Chelsea are really struggling at the moment, and I don’t think they’ll be able to secure a Champions League spot next season ...

With how Chelsea is playing how are they even going to achieve that. If check the table you going to see that Chelsea is currently in 7th position on the table with 48 points, and I don’t even think Chelsea will be able to win most of the matches which they are having left because their performance has just been so poor. Chelsea fans should just forget about them qualifying for the champions league next season, Chelsea are having 4 premier league match left, and they will be playing against tough teams which I don’t think they will be able to win those clubs.

If it is this season all i can say is we need to count Chelsea off trophy contenders because I  don’t think they can achieve anything this season and may even end up not going to any competitive competition next season. 
Imagine how they ended today's game that was supposed to be a direct win in Chelsea's favour but ended up losing slowly  till it got to 3 goals to nothing at last where all including Manchester United fans that do not love Chelsea are now consigned about how they can gain strength.
What i can only say is for teams to look on the team to see if the reason behind there backwardness can be identified and resolved so they can come back to the team i know before.

Sanchez is someone you can always count on to make a mistake. Today, he made one of his very worst and was lucky to have not being punished for it. How does he so quietly and without pressure, have the ball away and a clean pass was given to Hinshelwood but, he didn’t have the best touch to send the ball to the goal, giving Chalobah more than enough time to save Sanchez and Chelsea. It still didn’t matter though as they ended up loosing by 3 goals to nil. It’s just unbelievable that Chelsea at this time are still struggling to win games and were easy beaten by Brighton this way.

So Chelsea, once again, lost. I really struggle to understand why they chose to fire Maresca only to bring in this manager from their sister team, Strasbourg. What did he do in order to earn that spot? And his results now are extremely mediocre. The management really made a big mistake firing Maresca. And let's not forget that this also lead to the Fernandez problem. Very poor decision.

One decision changed everything and now Chelsea are in danger of not qualifying for next season's Champions League after going several games without a win. Liam Rosenior's performance has clearly not shown any change in Chelsea's progress and it's not much better than when Maresca was Chelsea's manager. Five defeats and not scoring a single goal in the Premier League is by far Chelsea's worst performance and in my opinion, Liam Rosenior is unfit to be Chelsea's manager because of the many problems that have arisen that he has been unable to solve.

[IceLincoln]

What is seriously the problem with the Chelsea Football Club, they’re going from bad to worse. What an embarrassing display of football, mistakes here and there and it’s been like that for a couple of games now…, Can we all agree that this new coach Liam Rosenior is an absolute waste of time, he doesn’t know what he’s doing.

The scoreline could be have been worse than what it was yesterday. Kudos to Brighton they truly deserved their victory. What an incredible performance.

It's clear that Arsenal will not win the league, Arteta can't just go out and say that they are going to be second place once more, it's clear that he knows that they are going to lose, but he can't say that because that would be a lot worse.

I mean maybe he even thinks that they will win, or have a chance to win, it could happen, people need to pump themselves up somehow. But we all know that with the way things are going, we could see City win with 5 point gap than Arsenal winning, because Arsenal looks terrible.

Anything can happen but you are kind of right. Manchester City is having 65 goals in total for now, while Arsenal is having 63 in total for now. Manchester City is playing its awaiting match today with Burnley which is about to be relegated. But I think Burley may play very well to avoid relegation. Let us see what will happen today. But it is very disappointing that Arsenal is always proving itself as Arsenal with this kind of disappointing ending. Good start bad ending again.

As the same thing happens again with Arsenal this season, it is indeed very unfortunate, but it is very likely to happen.

Tonight at midnight, Manchester City will face the bottom team Burnley, and Manchester City has a great chance to take over the top of the temporary standings if Man City can win by a score of more than 2 goals, and I have no doubt about that, especially now that the mentality and confidence of Manchester City players are drastically increasing, and of course, they have great ambition to win the Premier League title.

Chelsea are having 4 premier league match left, and they will be playing against tough teams which I don’t think they will be able to win those clubs.

That match against Liverpool will probably be the one where Chelsea drop points. The match against Tottenham is debatable because both teams are matching each other in their not‑so‑great performances this season. The matches against Sunderland and Nottingham Forest are likely the ones where Chelsea should win taking all six points.

Chelsea lost 3-0 in their away match against Brighton. Since Liam Rosenior took over as manager, Chelsea’s performance has gone from bad to worse. Chelsea needs to turn things around. If necessary, they need to part ways with the manager. This many losses are unacceptable. Brighton deserves congratulations. Our national team star Ferdi Kadıoğlu was the man of the match.

Maresca actually did well during his time at Stamford Bridge, but Todd Boehly may not have been on the same page with him, so the choice fell on Liam Rosenior as Chelsea’s head coach.
In 23 matches with Chelsea, Liam has a record of 11 wins, 10 losses, and 2 draws.
After four consecutive losses across all competitions, Chelsea managed to win in the FA Cup, and the loss to Brighton marked their third straight defeat in the Premier League.

In yesterday’s match against Brighton, Chelsea looked like a mid-table team, managing only 6 shots over the entire 90 minutes.
It’s not out of the question that Liam Rosenior’s tenure at Stamford Bridge could end sooner than expected.

Chelsea needs to sack there manager because his not doing very well, as for me what I'm seeing in this Chelsea players is that they are doing all this so they can sack the current manager they don't like him and they are still very angry why the management sacked their former coach, I think some of the players has already said it that they shouldn't have sack their former coach.
The defeat from yesterday was so shameful and I'm feeling very bad for Chelsea fans they have been going through pain for weeks now and the one from yesterday hurt so bad.
And the worst is that they have not even scored a goal for some matches now this shows that this players are just doing this on purpose I see a lot of chance they have been missing in there last matches, I don't think Chelsea will ever pick up this season, the management shouldn't have sacked a coach that won title and was doing very well, I just don't understand the reason why they sacked him.

One thing about Arsenal is their consistency issue, because they are not reliable when it comes to this aspect, so if I am to gamble now, I don't think I will be able to afford putting Arsenal on my games because such decision may be the only reason for me to lose my bet, the moment you expect Arsenal to perform well is when they fail you, while the least time you expect them to perform is when the showcase their abilities and win, on a nutshell they are unpredictable.

Champions League football is definitely over for Chelsea next season,  because I don't see a way they can qualify for this competition next season with the way the team is playing right now. Chelsea is really struggling right now and I also think their morale is on the low. I won't be surprised if they don't qualify for any European competition next season. Chelsea have a serious problem and they need to find a way to fix the issue before next season, so they can start competing again. As long as I am concerned, Chelsea will still lose more matches before the end of the season,  because they are even finding it hard to score a single goal.

Subpar management who do not know too much about football only profits oriented.

Subpar manager who's never handle a big club and that aside, won something worthwhile with a small club. What dies his CV say about him?? One who worked under the management of Wayne Rooney?! A failure when it comes to management?! I'm rolling and lastly,  Subpar players like Garnacho signed up?? Lmfao. They're not even ready for thr damnation headed there way. Final blames goes to the Political class in UK who helped chase Abramovich.

Chelsea couldn't create a single chance against Brighton. They are a far cry from their glorious past, and everyone misses those days. We all remember the Chelsea of ​​the past, but now Chelsea is one of the average teams in the Premier League. I don't think they will qualify for the Champions League next year, and this is evident in the standings. With this victory, Brighton moved above them in the standings. In their current situation, Chelsea can only qualify for the Conference League. But even this ranking isn't enough for them because they are only three points behind the team in 11th place.

Due to the FA Cup semi-finals scheduled for this weekend, we will have two games to be played today:
Burnley Vs Man City
Bournemouth Vs Leeds

I don't expect any other result than a comfy win for Man City. Both teams might be a bit fatigued from their last weekend games, so the pace might not be the fastest, but we should still see some goals. Man City are the highest scoring club in the league at the moment with 65 goals scored, while Burnley have the worst defence with 67 goals conceded. So. if statistics are a good prediction tool, we should see a one sided show with Man City winning by a decent margin.
The home advantage is with Burnley, but it's still close to Manchester so it's not like the City's squad will have to go through any long trip.

Burnley have nothing to play for anymore, as their chances of avoiding relegation are purely mathematical. Man City have a lot at stake. They need to win and preferably by a high margin, as that could turn out to be a tiebreaker deciding on who wins the league.

Yes, Chelsea management made a huge mistake by sacking Maresca and appointing an inexperienced coach mid-season. Now, as a result of this decision, Chelsea is facing a big risk of experiencing its worst phase. In fact, it could be said that this season is the worst in the club's history, especially with five consecutive defeats without scoring a goal. If I'm not mistaken, the last time Chelsea suffered five consecutive defeats without scoring a goal was in 1912.
