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

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Played well. Lost to the better team. Love Lewis Hall, would have been nice to see Omari Hutchinson. Glad to be out of the efl cup though.

I liked the look of Lewis Hall, looked lively.

If not for a bit of composure it could've been a different result, cracking player you have there!

Just like Callum Hudson Odoi and Billy Gilmour were, you can’t make a judgement on one performance, Hall looked good but so do many youngsters who fail to progress.

What do you expect for £50m? -:)

Good player who unfortunately believed his own hype and tried to hold city to ransom. His importance dwindled when he would not sign a new deal. The club continued to succeed and we started to change how we wanted our wingers to keep hold of the ball and retain possession. His first touch and ability to pick out the right pass started to get exposed. As said by many, he works hard and has a knack for getting into the right position but unfortunately his decision making if not on instinct let’s him down. Saying that he ain’t a wb. His performances on the right for city were decent before he left. Not sure what he is anymore.

Agree with all of that but his form for the two seasons before he left was very poor. To get £50m for him with only 12 months on his contract was excellent business by the club. I wish the lad well but not sure how long it will be before the Chelsea fans really turn on him and make his life a misery at the club?

Fair point, stand by what I said.

I and many others got pilloried on here by the Raz fan boys for pointing out his form was regressing and 45m was excellent business. I posted he didn’t look happy at the PL presentation and he didn’t turn out for the parade, said I think he was off, the bitterness of the Sterling fan club was palpable. Looks like he’s pissed on his Chelsea chips. I said at the time I like Raz as a person and wished him well but Chelsea is not a good fit for him.

Yeah he's very good. He's has, in my opinion, outgrown youth football, so he's reached the same crossroads so many before him have - he needs to either be integrated into the first team or sent out on loan after this season. Personally with Chilwell injured and Kante/Kovacic being injury prone, I would integrate him right now. He's versatile, can play in midfield too, as well as RB and RW.

While this is true, we are just commenting on the one game here. I haven't seen anyone make any grand statements about his future.

I wish him well liked the look of him.

I've got all the time in the world for him and hope he gets back to his best (ideally in the next week in time for the world cup), but I do suspect we got his best years out of him.

I suspect, despite splashing 50m on him, that he'll eventually find himself being a sub for us. We're very close making the Nkunku signing official and we're heavily interested in Leao. If Sterling isn't careful, he could find himself in the exact same situation he was bemoaning at City.
