Popular Post Chelsea_Matt Posted December 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2023 We’ve had some bad sides over the decades but even they would win tackles, fight and work hard. They were pretty organised in the main, too. This lot don’t even have close to 10% of the pride even our worst sides had. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudryk and Palmer were mostly decent. Disasi and Badiashile dealt with everything but again, we were unlucky with where those deflections ended up. I was more pissed off last week because we lost every 50-50. Better this week. Yes those 4 are decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every manager gets sacked when they can no longer get results. On the one hand I hope you’re right, on the other hand, who the hell do we bring in, is anyone capable of getting this team of misfits up the table?

Max Fowler Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 What world are people living in that you don’t think Poch is already gone? Have we as Chelsea fans not seen this movie a dozen times before? He is finished. You are in denial. Move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Box of Tricks Posted December 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2023 Boehly and Co were looking for someone to validate their pie in the sky blueprint, and conman after conman (Pochettino, Stewart, Winstanley and probably many more) have lined up to tell them exactly what they wanted to hear, for the easiest of pay days. They all have to go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fowler Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Question - are the board trying to turn us into another cash cow Brighton? Is this all a smokescreen for that plan? I have completely lost faith again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not unearthing hidden talent and paying peanuts for them before selling them on for many millions more… we’re overpaying for random South American talent that we’ll never see or hear about again. It’s just a mess at every level and stage of the club right now. I honestly don’t know how this gets better, without them hiring a proper footballing board, which they won’t do as it would mean accepting they don’t know best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoblyBobly Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 This team was very much built with the expectation of Chilwell and James providing the width , ammunition and vital goals. That expectation is now dead. We have Palmer as a great prospect but you can see he’s trying to do it all on his own because he trusts no one else. And that’s about it. it’s not all Poches fault but he must bear some responsibility. I have zero idea how long we will keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve lost hope. We’re now a low wage team with young, resellable assets on long contracts. Maybe that’s all they need right now to make us profitable. Success on the pitch is a „nice to have“. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On point one, it may well have been but from day one arch tactician Pochettino didn't see it that way and ruined any impact Chilwell could have. On purpose, to show how clever he was. He's not looking clever today. AVB with lockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget building a fucking project. Get Antonio or Jose back. If Tuchel was too confrontational, I think there's zero chance of either of those two being hired. Personally I would *love* Conte back, but I can't see it. The next manager would have a similar temperament to both Potter and Pochettino. Like it or not, that is the kind of manager we're going to be aiming for going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy game to get thrown into on your debut. Why he should have played the league cup ties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we’re chock full of youngsters on long low-wage contracts that can be resold near face value, unlike those expensive winning types. Take the TV money, ticket sales and run for the hills, hopefully find one youngster in twenty who can be resold for serious cash.

Don’t know where we go next, but this absolutely cannot go on any longer. It’s Potter round 2. Well you called both results right. I still disagree with Poch out though, at this stage.

He's going to have to adjust quickly though if Sanchez is out for any extended period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
