Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 | Pochettino confirmed as new manager

[bluke]

It says a lot about our lads' professionalism that no one tried to seriously hurt that little prick even though he really deserved it.

 

[Gabriel]

Chelsea have some good players, particularly some of their youngsters, but no discernible system and some more experienced players that should be moved on.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Ive no beef with chelsea or their fans, but trying to big themselves up with “champions of europe youll never song that” actually makes them look pretty small time.

Specially after we have single handedly ended their season

 

[JRockBlues]

Don't know how they only managed 1 booking in that game today. So many of their "players" leaving one on ours. Azpilicueta was probably the worst when he came on.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Mount is a c**t
How the fuck Gallagher made the England World Cup squad is beyond baffling.
And give the inflatable Champions league balloons a rest now you small time pricks .

I said on here Potter was going to a big club far too early.

Man looks way out of his depth.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Ted boally has gone arse about tit on this. Spends 200m, then brings in the manager!

Mid table this year for them. Promise
.

Still promising :)

 

[Blueboy73]

Amen about gallagher. Little prick

He's just a shit Robbie Savage :)

Should have waited until the spurs job was available.

I said that Potter will have to get results pretty much straightaway or he'll come under pressure. The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't finish the season at Chelsea.

Looking at the injury list… it’s 4 first team players that are out really.

Chilwell
James
Kante
Sterling (hardly ripping up trees)

They’ve lost a few squad players as well. But for a team that’s cost what it has to assemble, there is no way they should have been hammered by us in the way they were today. No fight and no idea. They made 6 changes, we made 7 and finished the game with 3 academy products on the pitch.

I’m a fan of Potter but he does look out of his depth. A huge criticism of him during his Brighton days was that his side didn’t score enough, or even at all. For all the pretty patterns there was no end product.

I have a few mates that are Brighton season ticket holders and they weren’t as gutted as I thought they might be when he left. They trust in the system they have there, the scouting network is brilliant and the new manager has simply picked up the squad and run with it, and now there is an end product.

The only annoying thing about Potter going to Chelsea is that United didn't take a punt on him last summer instead of the manager they got.

I quite like him, but think you’re right. Too early/too big a club for him (at this stage).

The writing is on the wall

 

[JRockBlues]

Oh dear, they have trouble scoring goals do they. Here's an idea. Buy a centre forward for nigh on a hundred million pounds and then alienate him that much that you're forced to loan him out to a foreign club to minimise the embarrassment of what you've done.

Or Everton. He’d have been better for us than Fat Frank.

That was a nice take on the shit Andy Carroll, funny how a song rarely sung these days has a new couple of names within such a short period of time.

 

[ninjamonkey]

They've got a much bigger injury list than Liverpool have had at any point over the last few years but nowhere near the same noise is being made about it. It's a genuine injury ravaged squad right now in fairness.

I said at the time Potter was mad to go there. They had just spent about £300 million on players for Tuchel as well as a few hundred million the year before that wouldn't fit potters style but he will be stuck with them and forced to try get a tune out of them now because they cannot get rid and they won't be able to splash the same kind of money again so quickly to give him what he needs. He would have needed a few years anyway but now he needs even longer and has the pressure of a big spend on his back despite him having nothing to do with it.

I really rate Potter and I think he will get Chelsea playing good stuff and challenging if he gets what he wants but I just cannot see him being given either the time nor the players to do that. Chelsea fans are used to abromovichs cut throat approach to managers they won't be able to be patient, pressure will mount and he'll have to go long before he's had a fair crack at it.

No other big sides will be sacking their manager anytime soon to give him a shot but someone like a West Ham should be scrambling to get him in if he is given the boot, given the time and a bit more resources than he's had at Brighton he'll do very very well.

 

[bluetonium]

I was a bit surprised at their squad over the past two games given how much they've spent. A few of us saying "who?" and "I'm glad he starts!". Genuinely didn't realize Mount or Jorginho started the game until I read the post match report, I thought they'd come on as second half subs. Buying all the Fofana's because you heard one may be a wonderkid is not a valid transfer strategy.

I really rate Potter but I'd be surprised if he stays. They've wasted millions though, I suppose we shouldn't be too vocal though as we had their pants down for sterling. Or is that expression offensive now also I wonder, being as it refers to both money and arses? Note I don't make assumptions about the age, sexuality or gender of the money or arses, just to be safe.

Just seems to be no strategy from Boehly, he reminds me of Yosemite Sam jumping up and down, firing off his pistols, demanding his own way, hoping more bullets will somehow fix everything.

 

[tommybooth]

Boehly has only just found out we play with a round ball and he had not bought an nfl team! Yosemite Sam is spot on.

Not his fault the club is a shambles top,middle & bottom with an owner who hasn't got a clue.

All the top, experieced executives have left and they have one of the most unbalanced,operated squads in the league....oh and Starling !!
