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

[cleavers]

Oh boy! That was embarrassing.

Not sure you should feel embarrased, you got us on a very good day, even by our standards.

What I'd be worried about was the lack of fight once we'd score the penalty, especially in the second half. We were down by the corner flag when you won a corner, and the body language of Ziyech when he came over to take it was terrible, like he didn't want to be there.

All through the second half your players stood off as we passed it around at walking pace, it really wasn't a good look.

The 2 penalties were really poor, no idea what Havertz was doing, though I confess I didn't see it from the angle I was at, when I saw the replay I couldn't believe what I was seeing, even if Laporte had got a head on it, I doubt there was more than 10% chance of a goal.

I quite like Potter, but he does look a bit out of his depth at the moment, hopefully (for you) he can turn it round, but I think you have other problems than just him and the injuries.

Potter is an excellent manager. This is not on him. Just a bad mix of players scooped up because they were available and someone else might get them.

Just read on the BBC that they are about to sign Joao Felix on loan for the rest of the season. They must have hundreds of players under contract already. When is someone going to look at their finances. can you imagine the outcry if this was us.

They probably bought and paid nothing for Chelsea. It’s all very dodgy. Yanks never invest this level of money…something smells very off here

They’re signing a lot of ‘maybe’ players. Trying to gamble their way out of trouble like the rags. At least this is only a loan.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

We get slaughtered in the media for spending a pound, yet this circus of a club can do whatever they like, spending wrecklessly and actually getting worse from it

 

[SebastianBlue]

Do we reckon his time with Chelsea will be succesful?

Does this improve Chelsea's chances of CL qualification?

How will Felix cope with the physicality of the Premier League?

Will Potter force him to cut his hair to fit in with the rest of the squad?

So many questions...

Nearly 10 milion quid for a few months loan. Lost for words.
