'If you don't prepare right, you will pay' - fears rise over Chelsea form

Chelsea may be through to the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League, but the boos that followed their surprise defeat by Legia Warsaw summed up the current mood of dissent at Stamford Bridge.

A 2-1 loss in the home second leg to the Polish side made little difference to the tie's outcome as the Blues confirmed a last-four meeting with Djurgarden by way of a 4-2 aggregate success.

But the manner in which they succumbed to defeat, despite a strong starting line-up, left anger among the faithful in the stands as the players failed to rise to manager Enzo Maresca's pre-match challenge to "engage" the fans.
