Even when they nail four and don't concede, there's a whiff of disappointment. That's just how it is right now for Chelsea, a club with every trophy a cabinet can hold and enough knuckle draggers in their travelling support to fill a decent sized zoo.
We know it's an unsettling time for that bunch, both staff and following. We know because there is no telling who or what their next guy will be like.
There's uncertainty in all that, and conflict, too, for how are they supposed to feel about the fella who made it rain silver for 19 years and is now being discussed in other terms?
