Chelsea should go for Slot, proper manager.
29th May 2021.What's the point in Havertz? When was he a good player?
I don’t think any of the new players they got actually improve them. Boehly is utterly clueless.All that money and they would have been better with Giroud and Abraham.
Right. The feck up was signing that useless lump Kakkers and shipping off Tammy. Followed by swapping Werner for Sterling. Those decisions are on Tuchel. Subsequent purchases have not faired any better.All that money and they would have been better with Giroud and Abraham.
Nope.Does anyone feel sorry for Chelsea?
Mwahahaha they can get fecked!Does anyone feel sorry for Chelsea?
You say that as if we wouldn’t ruin him too.Someone like Osimhen would be massive for them.
You lot feeling sorry for us would honestly be worse than getting bantered every single day.Mwahahaha they can get fecked!
No offense to our resident Blues on here of course.
I was all for selling him at the time because I thought we could do better but hindsight has proven that to be a colossal mistake. Abraham has been our best striker since Costa.All that money and they would have been better with Giroud and Abraham.
Nope. Enjoying their downfall immensely.Does anyone feel sorry for Chelsea?
No way this is brilliant entertainment. The only time I would feel sorry for another club is if they had done to them what the Glazers did to us, which is years of no investment. Chelsea spending that much money and getting worse is great to watch.Does anyone feel sorry for Chelsea?
But he would want Champions League football right? United's the place to be.Someone like Osimhen would be massive for them.
Yes and he will be back… He‘s scored 1 non penalty goal in Serie A this season...Isn't Lukaku out on loan from Chelsea to Inter? Don't forget him too.

The same could have been said about you lot last season. In relegation form for a long time. Yet here you are sitting near the top. Things can change quickly.Nope. Enjoying their downfall immensely.
They could be in the wilderness for a while.
We weren’t this bad dude. I don’t think we dropped below 6th in the ranking the whole season. And yea we were bad, but Chelsea have shown a whole new level of awfulness.The same could have been said about you lot last season. In relegation form for a long time.

Absolutely agree with you. I was simply referring to the form table as opposed to the actual table. I think this level of shitshow is unprecedented. Their next big decision needs to be right or we will definitely be way off but should they manage to do the right thing I don’t see why we couldn’t be back within the top 6 next season. Ultimately on the pitch we lack a goal scorer. The longer we don’t score the more pressure on our defense and they’ve actually not been bad as a whole. We were 3rd for defense in the league under Potter.We weren’t this bad dude. I don’t think we dropped below 6th in the ranking the whole season.

They're not reading things right. Like you say, they have the right intentions but are executing it poorly.The biggest issue with the ownership is that they've tried doing too much, too soon.
A lot of the decisions they have or are in the process of making have been pretty positive, but it's been made on the backdrop of complete instability. A lot of people have been crying out for a structure for years which doesn't revolve entirely around the manager and his own players, and instead a revamped look at the scouting, recruitment, football directorship at the club. I actually think the recruitment made in January will be looked back overtime as largely very positive, and that is the first fingerprints of this structure. It doesn't help though that this is intertwined with the summer recruitment which besides Fofana, is trending towards being the worst transfer window in football history given the money spent.
The ownership shouldn't pander to the fans. It's clear they felt they needed to make a statement when they first joined with the summer signings, but they should have held their ground until the right structure was in place. Same with the managerial change from Tuchel to Potter. Too many things have been done with the right intentions but at the wrong time.
I'm willing to give them time, and they might as well learn from mistakes at the same time the squad is in a transition but this summer, the focus needs to be on stabilising the club and that comes from allowing the directors to do what they are paid to do, and that is make the correct footballing decisions for this club to move forwards.
Yeah I mean I think first off the management and subsequent new manager need to decide if they want to persist with the 3/5atb style or go more conventional with a back 4. Because that dictates (in theory) how you should recruit and build the squad from there. Right now all the squad has is a bunch of defenders and cagey midfielders of different varying specialties. The attack isn't very creative or lethal and if you're only going to play with 3 real "attacking" players (or less if you count today) they have to be absolute dynamite in either creating chances or deadly in front of goal. I don't think it's so simple as "sign a good striker", as that would help some but there is still a brutal lack of cohesion in the final third. IAbsolutely agree with you.

Are you kidding? Why would anyone feel sorry for them.Does anyone feel sorry for Chelsea?
Writing off his contract would be the first smart money move from this new ChelseaYes and he will be back… He‘s scored 1 non penalty goal in Serie A this season...

It'll hit them hard with FFP. Writing off his contract will mean 60m amortization cost + 60m in unpaid wages = 120m. They're better off loaning him to whoever's interested or keeping him and hope the new managers can turn things around with Lukaku. They do need a clinical finisher and who better than to score that 96th min goal when the team needs it most if not Romelu Lukaku? ....right?Writing off his contract would be the first smart money move from this new Chelsea
I think 3 at the back is a bit of a crutch but i think switching away from it could be spectacularly hard. Dont think Silva could play in a 2 and i think a lack of leadership elsewhere would hurt them. Their best attacking player is a full back (possibly because theres only 3 forwards on the pitch?) so i'm not sure dropping him back would help.Yeah I mean I think first off the management and subsequent new manager need to decide if they want to persist with the 3/5atb style or go more conventional with a back 4.

I think Chelsea would be better off switching to a more conventional 4231/433, and getting a serious creator in the midfield to play ahead of Enzo and whoever partners him along with a couple new forwards. Mudryk was the right profile but he's basically Dan James in terms of end product, but target wingers similar to that. They also need to figure out their best back 4 and stick with it. They chop and change between Cucurella, Silva, Koulibaly, Badiashille, Fofana, James, Chalobah, and Chilwell so much that it's impossible to have a real understanding even if they've been pretty decent defensively as a whole this year.
One of our best players yesterday.What's the point in Havertz? When was he a good player?
We were actually worse defensively and in midfield I'd say but we had players who could find the back of the net. Put Rashford in this Chelsea team and they'd be doing miles better.United weren't this bad.
Touché29th May 2021.
Rashford did not do well last season in our team & got slated with people comparing him to Saint Maximin. Just see the "Does Rashford deserve a new contract?" thread. It's similar to the struggles Mudryk, Havertz, Pulisic and Sterling are going through right now.We were actually worse defensively and in midfield I'd say but we had players who could find the back of the net. Put Rashford in this Chelsea team and they'd be doing miles better.
You are obviously too young to remember the 1970 Cup Final replay at Old Trafford.Chelsea are a really just wealthy version of Millwall, they were never a massive club until 25 years ago.
Last year’s Rashford wouldn’t have helped at all.We were actually worse defensively and in midfield I'd say but we had players who could find the back of the net. Put Rashford in this Chelsea team and they'd be doing miles better.
Never - one of the biggest scam players of modern times.What's the point in Havertz? When was he a good player?
