Summary
An afternoon of complete nothingness...
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson to look back on the drab 1-0 defeat at The Emirates.
We delve into the reasons behind the squad being bereft of confidence, the complete lack of ambition in front of goal, and the struggles without Cole Palmer around to save the day. Plus - what's happened to Jadon Sancho's form and will he be heading back to Manchester United?
Then it's back to far happier times 24 hours earlier, as Chelsea Women picked up their first piece of silverware under Sonia Bompastor in a hard-fought 2-1 win over Manchester City at a sandpit in Derby.
We'll be back on Thursday with the first of a special series of podcasts charting the 120-year history of the club through all the ups, downs, controversy, trophies and chaos in SW6!
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Liam Twomey & Simon Johnson
PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
