Chelsea 2022/2023 - Everything is fine.
- Thread starter duffer
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) discuss United's progression to the FA Cup Semi Final after a crazy win over Fulham at Old Trafford. They also talk about the latest on the sale of the club and whether they would prefer to be owned by Jim Ratcliffe or Sheikh Jassim. But before all that they are joined by special guest Natalie to discuss Man Utd Women - who are currently riding high at the top of the WSL. Can they actually win the league?
Every team we’ve played in the last few weeks, their fans have been saying ‘Chelsea are bound to start scoring soon, it’s going to be us isn’t it?’. And it never happens
Some unlucky team, one of these days, is going to get absolutely battered and I really hope it’s Dortmund.
That team not called Chelsea?!Every team we’ve played in the last few weeks, their fans have been saying ‘Chelsea are bound to start scoring soon, it’s going to be us isn’t it?’. And it never happens

Crazy
First of all, feck youThat team not called Chelsea?!
Secondly, we don't get battered. We just lose lacklustre games to poor teams without any heart or fight.
The way Chelsea fire managers you're not attracting top ones to the Bridge without a hefty contract.
Apologies, I'm usually the butt of the jokes, I still can't get used to temporarily being the shoe on the other foot.First of all, feck you

Quite the opposite actually the job is a free hit for managers as the stigma created towards us means there's little to no reputational damage even if there should be.
Mourinho gets the biggest job in England straight after leading us to a relegation scrap, AVB gets the Spurs job (who overtook us in the table thanks to him) and it wouldn't even surprise me if Potter gets the Spurs job if/when he and Conte leave their current jobs.
I don't disagree with the Chelsea job being a free hit, but there has to be some premium to convince top managers to take this relative to other open positions that they may feel are more stable.
Honestly, resources and located in London.
Here's another one for you...“Real Madrid have scored more goals in England than Chelsea this year”.
Heard it on talkSPORT. Brilliant!
I think Fred has scored more goals than Chelsea this year!
Edit: Ahhh never mind
Remember when Chelsea spent 120m on Enzo Amore, and 80m on a Ukranian Backstreet boy.
Let's all laugh at Chelsea.

London is more expensive, and their partners will need more money for shopping
It's fine, it's nature of football, eventually it gets to be your turn to be down in the gutter. If roles were reversed, which they have been for 20 years, there's no chance I'm taking my foot off your throatApologies, I'm usually the butt of the jokes, I still can't get used to temporarily being the shoe on the other foot.
Mount and James both out of the game tomorrow.
Curtain seems to be closing in on Potter now

Mount hasn't been starting anyway. James is a problem. As much for him as us. Can't stay fit seemingly.
Dum dum dummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I don’t think it’s right for an ex-wife to be publishing things like this. It would come across as a bitter revenge plot. However the fact he wanted an injunction would lead me to believe that much of the email was true. .
Yeah, so he was sacked because of his divorce and personal life pretty much. He had lost the plot and players could see it. Not exactly news but more detail on the reasons.
Same number of wins over the past 8 days as over the previous 123 - huzzah?
Don’t forget we should have had a penalty against Wet Spam. Everything is fine
Back three gets stigmatised as a defensive formation and don't get me wrong it can be but for us I don't think it is.
James and Chilwell get the freedom to push on they simply don't get in a back four which in turn improves us going forward.
Add Gusto and hopefully Maatsen from next season and we will finally have the cover for them we've been lacking for long.

Chelsea's prayers for a goalscoring forward to emerge have been answered.

Was never in doubt. Italian clubs rarely pay up.
Do we have a buy back ?
For the first time since 14 August, Kanté is available for selection tomorrow.
Just in time to get some minutes against Everton and be the destroyer against Real Madrid.
I have a bad feeling his hammies are gone. All that running has had its toll. For his sake I hope he still has some years left.
Yeah I love him but I really hope he isn’t given a new contract. He should go somewhere that’s less intense and he can retire gracefully
He can get another five year contract if he help us win the big ears for third time.
Is it purely coincidental that Chelsea have won 3 games and conceded just one goal since Silva got injured, or is it possible he forced others to play differently, and ultimately created a worse unit?
Yes.
Conceded 2 today. We’ve been in and around top 2-3 defence all season with Silva. So yes, purely coincidental.
Played well today. Don’t think Everton were worthy of a point there. Between Koulibaly and Kepa that goal should have easily been prevented.
You can throw in (Enzo?) for giving Doucouré acres of space to operate in upon receiving the long ball...
Agree. You completely controlled the game but at 2-1 and 1-0 switched off which cost you ultimately. That’s poor from you. Also missing easy chances as usual.
The 3-4-3 is clearly much better for you though and I don’t understand the obsession of trying to have a 4 if it’s not needed. Your best assets are Felix, Chilwell and James. They all operate better in that system.
Possibly but Koulibaly was beat way, way too easily and Kepa letting that nothing shot go past him is unacceptable.
Yep. We need 7-8 chances to score
goal and we typically concede from the opponents only real chances.
I think 343 suits us the best but Potter will always try to shift the team around during the game depending on what’s happening. Pretty sure we started and ended the game with a back 3.
Our season is littered with these sorts of games, play decent, create a lot and get sucker punched by a team playing poorly on the day.
Potter’s a fecking mug.
Overrated fraud of a manager.
