You can't be serious?Ole enjoys working with and wanted these guys there.
Lampard gets what he is given.

Nah.They'll go up a level once Loftus Cheek is back.
You thought you had a smart comment huh?So they just need to sort out attacking and defending?
We might have weak depth but our starting XI last season pisses all over this Chelsea one. Without Hazard that attacking force is completely devoid of any top quality.They are showcasing why Pochettino is the best manager in the world right now. Chelsea has a transfer ban, they somewhat crumble. Pochettino doesn’t sign anyone due to lack of backing from his board, they reach champions league finals and finish fourth with the weakest squad depth out of the top six.
To be fair, Pochettino's squad had several top players.They are showcasing why Pochettino is the best manager in the world right now. Chelsea has a transfer ban, they somewhat crumble.

Lampard has known most of his coaching staff for donkeys years. He said that his assistant (Morris) was his closest friend in football long before he took him to Derby.Why does Lampard look deserted from his coaching staff/bench? Contrast to Ole who looks to be a culmination of Mike, Carrick, Keiran- constant communication and discussion with them.
Is it Franks ego, social awkwardness or simply the lack of people he trusts?
Odd figure
No.Wanna bet?
They downgraded their manager, lost the only other world class player at the team who was also the absolute star (Hazard) and other teams have improved whereas they've been unable to do anything in the market.
Who? The BBC asked about 30 of their "experts" and the only one who had Chelsea in the top 4 was an Ex-Chelsea manager!Not sure why some are so convinced they’ll get top four.
The people in here, like the person who was quoted by the person I quoted.Who? The BBC asked about 30 of their "experts" and the only one who had Chelsea in the top 4 was an Ex-Chelsea manager!
I don't know anyone who is or was "so convinced" that we'll get top 4.
No.
I'm not convinced about 2 things yet:
1. The ability of United or Arsenal to pull away from the pack
2. Leicester or Wolves' making decent pushes for top 6.
This is such a weak argument it’s actually laughable. We had players like Kane, Son, Eriksen, Verts, Toby, Loris... Chelsea have quite frankly not a great deal, their best players are defensive players and Lampard is an inexperienced manager better in attack than defence.They are showcasing why Pochettino is the best manager in the world right now. Chelsea has a transfer ban, they somewhat crumble. Pochettino doesn’t sign anyone due to lack of backing from his board, they reach champions league finals and finish fourth with the weakest squad depth out of the top six.
He said "they have enough quality to challenge for 4th place.". How do you get "so convinced they'll get top four" from that?The people in here, like the person who was quoted by the person I quoted.
Because it’s their away kit and they were playing away against a team who has the same colour home kit.Why did Leicester play in pink???
Exactly that convinced me what he really thought: Chelsea are bankers for fourth. It’s just he chose to express himself in a more dignified manner.He said "they have enough quality to challenge for 4th place.". How do you get "so convinced they'll get top four" from that?
You have to be worried with Frank, he was hailed as some up and coming manager when really he hadn’t done anything Derby haven’t done the previous year. Yes he’s attractive going forward but feck me at the back it’s an absolute shambles.Lampard has known most of his coaching staff for donkeys years.

A least someone has some dignity in this place.Exactly that convinced me what he really thought: Chelsea are bankers for fourth. It’s just he chose to express himself in a more dignified manner.
They have a transfer ban AND lost their best player AND had a managerial change.They are showcasing why Pochettino is the best manager in the world right now.

Worried about what? We could have a 60 year old Fergie in charge and we'd not win the league with this team. It's all about expectations isn't it? Any hapf-sensible fan knows we're in for some shit results this season.You have to be worried with Frank, he was hailed as some up and coming manager when really he hadn’t done anything Derby haven’t done the previous year.

I m not too sure. Chelsea midfield is superior. Right back Chelsea is better and Rudiger and Emerson/Alonso is the same as Sanchez and Rose. Barkley, Pedro, William, Mount Odoi, Cheeks are not to far of from Ali, Son and Eriksen. I know I would take Odoi and Cheeks over Ali at the moment.We might have weak depth but our starting XI last season pisses all over this Chelsea one. Without Hazard that attacking force is completely devoid of any top quality.
Kane is the only true top player. Then followed by Son or Eriksen who are at a level similar to Mahrez, Sane, Martial, Rashford, Etc. E.g., B/B+ players. Kane is A and I think on their day Son and Eriksen could reach A but are not consistently there yet. Chelsea had two A players, Hazard and KanteTo be fair, Pochettino's squad had several top players.
This is a disingenuous (borderline deluded) argument. Chelsea lost their best player by far, and 2 games does not a crumble make.They are showcasing why Pochettino is the best manager in the world right now.

Because they wanted to look lovable and cute.Why did Leicester play in pink???
Who exactly are going overhaul us in the top 8?I tried to tell you guys in the matchday thread when they faced us that chelsea wont finish top 8. They don't have a great squad after losing their best play who was responsible for 70% of their creativity. Its like us if we lost Pogba and couldn't effectively replace him.
What???This is a disingenuous (borderline deluded) argument. Chelsea lost their best player by far, and 2 games does not a crumble make.
Spurs did not lose anyone last year. They had nice continuity which Pochettino benefitted from.
Forget about comparing players one by one. I would have Pochettino's team from last season over this Chelsea side 10/10 times and I think most would agree.I m not too sure. Chelsea midfield is superior. Right back Chelsea is better and Rudiger and Emerson/Alonso is the same as Sanchez and Rose. Barkley, Pedro, William, Mount Odoi, Cheeks are not to far of from Ali, Son and Eriksen. I know I would take Odoi and Cheeks over Ali at the moment.

Derby weren't even consistently that good going forward. Scored less goals than the 5 teams above them. They had games where they destroyed sides but they were the standard Derby County, completely inconsistent and a playoff team, he changed nothing.You have to be worried with Frank, he was hailed as some up and coming manager when really he hadn’t done anything Derby haven’t done the previous year. Yes he’s attractive going forward but feck me at the back it’s an absolute shambles.
I can’t see you getting top 4, is that not a worry? Come on, you don’t think a more experienced manager could have an organised defence?Worried about what? We could have a 60 year old Fergie in charge and we'd not win the league with this team. It's all about expectations isn't it? Any hapf-sensible fan knows we're in for some shit results this season.
I’m a spurs fan and I really don’t get it .Only @Amadaeus could turn a chat about how shit Chelsea are into a Poch bum-lick.
They were a nice team to watch though, similar to Chelsea going forward.Derby weren't even consistently that good going forward. Scored less goals than the 5 teams above them. They had games where they destroyed sides but they were the standard Derby County, completely inconsistent and a playoff team, he changed nothing.
And that was with the likes of Mason Mount and Harry Wilson coming in to give him a helping hand.
Our defence was just as shit last season and we got 3rd. I'd bet we concede less this season that we did last.I can’t see you getting top 4, is that not a worry? Come on, you don’t think a more experienced manager could have an organised defence?
Yup, it's weird.Only @Amadaeus could turn a chat about how shit Chelsea are into a Poch bum-lick.
Am I the only person in the world who doesn't know what Loftus-Cheek add's?They'll go up a level once Loftus Cheek is back.
We completely disagree on a lot of this so I'll leave it there, don't wanna make it a spurs vs chelsea squad strength thread.I m not too sure. Chelsea midfield is superior. Right back Chelsea is better and Rudiger and Emerson/Alonso is the same as Sanchez and Rose. Barkley, Pedro, William, Mount Odoi, Cheeks are not to far of from Ali, Son and Eriksen.
