Chelsea's season has been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite spending £600million on new signings and changing the manager twice, the Blues have shown no signs of improvement as they sit closer to the relegation zone than the top four.
Frank Lampard was brought in as caretaker manager earlier this month but there has been no 'new manager bounce' at Stamford Bridge. Instead, things have arguably got worse for Chelsea after they have now suffered three straight defeats in all competitions and not won in their last six fixtures.
The Blues did end their dismal run of games without a goal after Conor Gallagher's deflected effort found the back of the net against Brighton. The Seagulls eventually punished Chelsea for their performance on Saturday afternoon and came back to win 2-1 as Lampard admitted the visitors beat the Blues in doing the basics and deserved to win on his homecoming to Stamford Bridge.
