How did we not make a move for Mahrez.They did! In 16-17. I think first half of the season, maybe even Pep's first defeat, or at least his first major setback.
It depends what players you buy. I'm looking at the Chelsea squad and yes - they have some good players, but it's nowhere near the level it should be considering the amount of money they have spent.The lesson is you can't just change your entire team in a season and then expect top 4.
Even if you spend a billion, without sorting the forward line out properly.
We'll probably improve but it'll take a couple more seasons. Nkunku fit will also make a different difference.
He’s probably with Glaston in India, until Poch manages a result of note.
They've bought brain dead forwards who can only play when their are huge gaps left for them to exploit by running in behind. They will struggle to break down teams who sit in and defend as a unit with numbers around the box. Just like Utd have for years with Rashford and Co up top.They've shown promising signs in some games like vs Arsenal, City etc. Think within a few months Chelsea's results will improve.
They are just as cursed as us now when it comes to big money transfers. Imagine if we had gotten Caicedo too. Took me an hour to realize he was on the pitch as well.Why are they so shite?
On paper, that midfield should have dominated ours and most others in the league. Yet we played through them almost at will.
To all my haters
Pochettino has been schooled by all the crap teams this season even with their 200m midfield.
Not many managers can play that shit against ten hag’s utd. Only Everton and palace in the carabao.
Like I mentioned before, the underlying stats (table) showed that chelsea is pretty awful. Once we have brain aneurysms that is when we truly see pochball
No cohesion. Feels like a team of players that's just randomly been thrown together, which is sort of the case anyway. You can just about get away with it if you're PSG and have Mbappe or Messi, but the problem is for all the quality in their side there's not really enough actual top-tier star power to drag them into a CL fight. I think they'll finish higher than where they are currently but they look like a bang average upper midtable side at best from what I've witnessed this season.Why are they so shite?

That’s because there 2 midfielders is probably the same price as halve of our team. Our midfield tonight should be nowhere near as good as the 2 they have.There's people who rated their squad above ours.
Their squad has even more problems than ours despite their massive spending.
Everton were better. They were undone by a worldie and did not concede anywhere near the amount of chances as Chelsea did this game. The difference is we scored every chance we had against Everton (Including a 1 in a million). If we scored every chance we had today it would have been embarrassing for Chelsea.To all my haters

Probably helps Chelsea that they were shite last year and finished in the bottom half. Everyone expected improvement but even a CL push was seen as a bit optimistic for them. They're more ridiculed and mocked than pressured at this point, nobody expects much.When will there be media pressure on them? Too many excuses of a young squad and injuries. Narrative on Chelsea this season is a complete joke compared to us.
