Chelsea (a) post match thread

Maybe Pep can add 'Tap in Champs' to his cv

Would he fit it on? It's quite a big CV..

 

[Corky]

Didn't the shambles of a side the Chav inherited thrash these lot a year ago?

Backwards with JG.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Shhhh, we never lost a game under that man or at least that's the folklore that has been handed down on here.

I loved Mancini but pep is in a different league

I get the impression that some people wan him to fail for some reason , we have some weird fans

A MANAGER NEEDS TIME TO ASSESS HIS RESOURCES AND MAKE CHANGES THE FOLLOWING SEASON

Again, apples and oranges.

That season was a huge success; this season - not so.

The comparison to be drawn, forgetting results would be silverware and final league position. There are simalarities to be drawn, but they don't mean much in the whole scheme of the two seasons.

It was said in jest mate hence the wink.

I'm pretty consistent at hating our managers ;)

 

[Juan King]

Yep and yet there has been barely a murmour in the media about how below expectations we have been, of course Pep needs another year to bed in his own players and the style of play he wants but some of his team selections are worrying , he can thank Wenger for avoiding some of the spotlight this season , whats frustrating is how quickly Conte has adapted and produced a team of winners from a team in turmoil last season

To be honest, I back Pep for next season & hope he comes good. I'm just calling out this season & saying IMO he has not been good enough so far. He needs to be given the chance to progress, but if he doesn't then he shouldn't be beyond being criticised.

 

[Bill]

That's harsh. They were all giving their all. Only a few lacked the quality and they bring down around them. My beef has always been the same,we are simply not good enough to to rotate. You play your best 11. Pep refuses and that is why we are where we are.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Proper teams don't 'chuck games away' and they certainly don't do it several times, and reasonable human beings don't blame 'the referees' for being 14 points behind a team who've beaten us in both games this season.

You are right mate, we are simply shit.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Why isn't Pep using his subs? Four games in a row where we desperately need a goal, and he leaves subs on the bench.

This is a huge question mark for me this season. Peps substitutions have been generally poor all season. They don't attempt to expose clear opposition weaknesses or shore up issues with our defending and the timings of the substitutions are just wierd.

I'd be tempted to drop Sergio on Saturday and play kdb and sane wide and Sterling through the middle though in reality they'll be interchangeable.
