Glenn Hoddle ripped into Chelsea as the Blues once more faltered at Stamford Bridge. In the process of losing 2-0 against Brentford, handing the visitors a first win in six games, Frank Lampard lost his fifth straight game as interim manager, failing to score for the fourth time in that run.
It's a period of results that continues on from the end of the Graham Potter reign that leaves the Blues winless in eight and with just two open play goals in that time. Since the turn of the year there have been just two league wins and both came against sides in the bottom five.
As well as demonstrating the all round mess at the club, Lampard's decision to play without a recognised striker - fielding Raheem Sterling as the only orthodox attacker - proved a poor one. Chelsea were once again toothless in the first half and found themselves 1-0 down thanks to a Cesar Azpilicueta own goal.
