MIDWAY through a dire second half Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino stood on the touchline with his right hand covering his eyes.
If his side remain "a work in progress", by now the manager should be seeing consistent signs of development.
But this was a miserable backwards step from a team still operating on different wavelengths and the Argentine had evidently seen enough as his expensively-assembled cast of flops delivered a stinker.
Wolves, led by hat-trick hero Matheus Cunha and the outstanding Pedro Neto, were very impressive as they completed a league double over the Blues for the first time since 1874-75.
Yet it was hard to escape the feeling that this was a nadir for Project Poch' as the Chelsea fans raged at the bewildered head coach and his players.
Having won four home league games prior to this, there had been a suggestion that Chelsea were turning Stamford Bridge into a place for away teams to fear again.
Instead, it is no exaggeration to describe them as awful here.
