OK..I'm as pessimistic as anyone here but the sort of form and win percentage required from the bottom 4/5 clubs with Chelsea getting a nil return between now and the end of the season is almost at miracle level. GP's apparent non coaching has destroyed this season and the self belief of basically young players with the "senior" players, with one exception, just quietly or rather without a whimper ..capitulating responsibility. The "Give GP Arteta type time" has a hollow ring now and did from the start for me. Unjustly Chelsea could have nicked an equaliser although not playing well at times late on when "amongst" them showing that Brighton whilst good were made to look like peak Barca due to the ability of the Chelsea players to make the wrong decision nearly every time.

Proud-Blue Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I genuinely expected to lose. I was close to putting a bet on 1 - 2 to Brighton with Welbeck as a scorer but couldn't bring myself to bet against my own team. It would at least have paid for some of the train fare down from Newcastle!! Mudryk and Kepa are the only players who deserve some credit today. Otherwise we were second best all over the pitch. Horrendous to watch. If Real go beyond second gear I fear we may get humiliated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I thought we might get a draw yet no complaints we were not good enough today. Still a small win betting on Spurs to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overwhelming likelihood is we're safe, just because so many other teams would have to put uncharacteristic runs together and the chances of that all coming together are slim. But if we hadn't had an actual coach for the first month of the season or this one went on for 4 or 5 more games, we would be totally screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you mean ‘jesting’ although you could mean resting 🤣 Look, I’m in a filthy mood and anyway now is not the time or place to pursue this further. Suffice to say, if I was a dictator I would immediately ban horse and greyhound racing. Now back to football. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Lampard is clearly out of his depth, even more so than Potter. The sensible thing was to have installed Enrique straight away and given him the rest of the season to see who he wants to keep and to start the long task of coaching these players. They’d at least raise their game for him. I don’t see what the point of Frank is after Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuchel is a manager in the top tier Klopp and Pep level. The CL win and period he had us firing in the league is testament to that. Basically that 2021 calendar year up until late Nov early Dec. Any manager we end up with will not be at that level. I know there were complex reasons behind his sacking (and I wanted it at the time) but it just looks so stupid in retrospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, the reasons for the sacking are unknowns and we’re told that off the field problems were the cause, however, for me the biggest error in the whole thing was the hiring of Potter and then blindly backing him for 4/5 months too long! We we’re never going to be in a title race this season, too 4 would have been tough, although looking at performances from the other teams up there this season, it could have been possible. The main issue though for me is that having Potter in and in for so long has damaged us in the short and possible mid term as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
