Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and you're listening to the Ranks

FC podcast. Hello, Ranks Squad. welcome to Ranks FC.

It's your favourite Intercontinental Football Podcast.

My name is Jack Collins and I will be your host today.

And joining me all the way from San Diego across the water,

it's the one and only Mr. Dean Jones.

How you doing, mate? Hello, mate. I'm good. Yeah, very good. Well, better than any Chelsea fan

that's certainly listening right now. We are recording literally on full time of Brighton 3.

Chelsea now. Obviously, we've got a lot to get stuck into across the whole of this episode as we assess

and address all the things that are up for grabs and need to be played out in the final

weeks of the season. But honestly, mate, just astonished by what I've just seen today.

Yeah, I mean, look, we were going to start this podcast originally with the things

we loved. And I'm going to talk a little about by the Copa del Rey final, which took place at the

weekend where Real Sosid triumphed over at Let's Go Madrid. But I think before we get into that,

we might just need to take a look at Chelsea because watching that game at the Amex, I was stunned by the ineptitude. And yes,

there are some caveats in that Col Palmer is missing and Estabalvao is missing and

Joel Pedro is missing, you know, three of Chelsea's most exciting, most entertaining and

most effective footballers over the course of this season as a whole.

But I don't know if I've watched a game where I've been so utterly flabbergasted by how bad a side was from the get-go.

The switch to five at the back conceding after three minutes of this one, the ineptitude

in terms of not dealing with the basics has reached a point now where it's difficult to ignore.

It's difficult to find places where there aren't blame.
