Chelsea's performance has been getting worse and worse this season, with a 1-2 home defeat against Brighton in the EPL on Saturday (15), and three consecutive defeats for the returning manager Lambert. The culprit, Paulie, was booed by the fans at the Stanford Bridge Stadium, and the American boss was even photographed making noises with the fans, which was quite a sad scene.
Lambert returned to Chelsea as caretaker leader until the end of the season, losing to Wolves and Real Madrid in his first 2 matches in the job, and facing Brighton at home, he was also in a tough situation. Although he accidentally scored a goal in the 13th minute to take the lead by Connor Garrincha, but Brighton, who are more skillful, equalized with Verbeek before half-time, and then Ansell scored a world goal in the 69th minute to win the game, and also gifted Lambert with 3 consecutive defeats.
Paulie, the team owner who was at the match, was targeted by the fans and was booed and insulted by the fans. At one point, the team owner was so upset that he leaned over to the side of the stand and argued with the upper tier of the fans. Paulie was reported to be very dissatisfied with the team's performance and went into the dressing room after the match to give a lecture to the team for more than an hour. Lambert said after the game: "The performance of the team is more disappointing than the result, we need to have a good performance to have a chance to win the game, we were technically knocked down this time, this is the most disappointing first.
