The guaranteed 20-30 goal striker who's got *checks notes* 3 league goals this season in a weaker league playing in a team set up to his strengths.They're screaming out for a striker yet they've sent a guaranteed 20-30 goal striker out on loan. OK Lukaku had a problem with Tuchel's system but other managers since would have played to his strengths.
No champions league, massive squad, unbalanced, interfering chairman. They won’t get Nagelsman if he has any sense.They thought Frank was a win win, get a hero back that the fans will never turn on and I suspect they can't get their preferred target until next season, probably nagglesman...frank just gets worse and worse as a manager and tactician
Early Swales.
If my aunty had bollocks.....Strange team selection that saw them miss a host of easy chances.
I thought they played well until Madrid scored their first.
Team selection not the problem.
For Kante to not even hit the target at his first chance was an incredible miss
Well that’s you, but a lot of us find that list to make him an odious owner and not suited for owning a part of our treasured game.
If our owners had done those things, a lot of us would be calling for their heads.
As it’s at a rival, yes, it is slightly amusing, but as a football fan in general I don’t want to see people like that involved.
Look at the Glazers, does anyone look at them with mild indifference? They’ve made some similar decisions on a less catastrophic and less drastic level, and are some of the most hated owners in the game - rightly so - by fans of all clubs.
I think there is a nervousness here, amongst City fans, if not more widely in football, that the real threat to football isn't the super-rich owners who are investing money into the game, but the ever increasing number of American owners who want almost guaranteed returns they can extract from their investment by imposing a US model on football rather than a European model. I think Boehly has got caught up in that, possibly unfairly as I don't think he has mentioned reform of that sort. He does speak, though, in a manner that completely fits the stereotype of the arrogant US businessman, and that is all on him. We will probably see him scheming with the other American owners when he finally realises this football ownership lark is really quite difficult.
Perhaps, I understand that I suppose but it still baffles me that he is called an arsehole and an arrogant twat based on that nervousness though.
I'm not convinced Beatrix had much say in the matter. A bit like Spurs with the Bale money "here's a load of players, sort it out".....I actually thought Chelsea were much the better team last night up until the Madrid goal then that killed the game.
Chelsea had numerous chances to score, The problem is that they have nobody to put the ball in the back of the net. All the money they've spent and didn't think of buying a striker is ridiculous.
Numerous players they've bought aren't good enough either. Now they've a problem when Lampard goes and get a new manager in he will want his own players in and possibly not rate the players Chelsea have bought under Potter.
Complete shit show.
Career total = 576 games, 273 goals - roughly one goal every two games.The guaranteed 20-30 goal striker who's got *checks notes* 3 league goals this season in a weaker league playing in a team set up to his strengths.
To be fair, I don't think that making a good impression with the City fan base was at the top of his agenda!:) Fair enough. But you can only make a first impression once. And my first impression of him was that he is an arrogant twat arsehole. It's a long way back!
