Was just curious as to what exactly is making Chelsea fans panic right now ?

A 4-0 pre-season defeat to a well-settled squad ? Seeing any Liverpool fans panic after losing 4-0 to United ?

Lack of transfers ? Pathetic attack ? Just how bad was last season exactly ?

We had the same attack last season (Sterling in for Lukaku is a big upgrade), we reached 2 domestic finals and were arguably better than Liverpool in both.

We produced the performance of the season to beat eventual UCL winners Real Madrid at the Bernabeau with Alonso starting.

We lacked consistency across the Premier League season primarily because we lost both our in-form starting wingbacks for several months combined, else we looked good enough for a title challenge in the early months.

Rudiger is a big miss but has been adequately replaced by KK.

Chilwell is back in the squad. Gallagher, Broja and Ampadu are back from successful loans. Around 3 more signings are expected, though the delay is slightly concerning.

But why exactly the panic ? Did we have a shit season with 2 trophies and 2 finals lost on penalties ?

We faced sanctions and an ownership change process that could have easily destabilized any top club for several seasons. Have we forgotten that ? We could have been without a club to support just 3 months ago, and now we're whining about not signing 5-6 top players quickly ?

Cut the new owners and the manager some slack. There's been massive upheaval behind the scenes, hundreds of hirings and firings to take care of, considering all that mess I'm very very happy we've managed to land two top targets that improve our squad.

I absolutely don't understand this constant need to whine and blame the board/manager etc on twitter. Some fans literally invent problems when they can't find anything to cry about. Complaining and blaming someone makes them feel better about themselves for some reason.

We have one of the best managers around. Amazing young players yet to peak. Owners who are just getting started and the money is obviously there. We need to stop pretending like we're in crisis and the future is dark. The constant negativity and whining is getting tiring.
