Chelsea's path to progression hit another major bump in the road against Southampton, one that manager Graham Potter will do well to get over. Having been booed off at half-time and full-time, the feeling of supporters is now more evident than ever.
Having produced one of the better displays under his management away in Dortmund on Wednesday, despite the result, the Blues looked far from cohesive. With Reece James and Thiago Silva rested, a rotated side made Southampton look like the club with more than £600million invested in nine months.
Potter is not the first head coach to see Chelsea fall well short without the two stars mentioned but patience is wearing thin at SW6 if it hasn't already been eroded completely for many that haven't seen a run like this in their lifetimes.
