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

[Vialli98]

He was incredible under Tuchel at Dortmund and knows the PL well.

Havertz-Aubameyang-Sterling is a good front 3

I can see that working brilliantly. If we're getting a striker, someone of Auba's type is what I'd prefer rather than the big lumps that disrupt the way we want to play.

"Taylor hates Chelsea"

Yeah...That's why he failed to send off sideshow Bob against us but send off two of ours.

I only watched first half but thought you were back to the form you had a couple of seasons ago. Koulibale looks a beast. Thought Kante was more like his old self. Raheem doing what Raheem does too. Top 4 I think.

Kante and Jorginho were excellent. Everyone seemed well drilled in where to be and how to move. That was an incredibly dominant performance. Even when Spurs tried to tweak the formation, Chelsea found a way to get back at them. Kante has had his injury issues but if he plays like that all season they'll be right up there. I thought it would be between Chelsea and Arsenal for 4th but on this evidence Chelsea should be comfortably ahead of Arsenal still. Adding Aubameyang makes sense. He will play a similar role to Sterling, but be more of a focal point. Chelsea didn't manage to get the ball in behind very often, thanks to Spurs cutting it out, but the movement was there and Aubameyang is still very good in that situation.

The player at Arsenal isn't the one we'll see at Chelsea.

After watching the Chelsea vs Spurs game, one thing stood out, it was not the quality of the both teams, but the fight in wanting the 3 points, you are going to have to work so hard to beat both of them teams this season, they both were full on even the managers wanted a fight,

I still think the 2 best teams are Manchester city and Liverpool, the quality speaks for itself and also good in a fight
if any utd fans watched the other games this weekend they will be in fear of making 4th bottom, never mind mid-table,

city liverpool chelsea spurs arsenal newcastle top 6 then Brighton Leeds Villa Leicester west ham will be a head of utd

I thought Chelsea were decent actually and, as mentioned above, had a little bit of fight in them which hasn't been there for a while.

I was watching them and thinking shit. This reminds me of when……

they may have been splashing the cash in what seemed a random way but Tommy Tickle seems to have them pretty well drilled. I thought they looked good I won’t lie. Still, we aren’t out of third gear yet and they looked as if they were in top. Wait until KDB and the Viking sync minds.

I heard there was some handbags at the final whistle.

I don't even think we're in top form either. We had been lethargic and way off form during preseason and the Everton performance in GW1 was slow and ponderous, hence going into this game most people I talked to were predicting a Spurs win. I think we can absolutely get better, the team will gel with the new players the season progresses and I think it will be an exciting season for us - before the season started, I predicted us to finish 3rd and maybe do something in Europe and the domestic cups, I'm sticking to that for now.

I watched some of the Everton game and it was poor. Still early days for both of us mate.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Tuchel is an arse.

Mate nobody wants him for a reason, he appears disruptive and is a trouble causer. There has to be better stand in strikers,

Arteta came under severe pressure from the Arsenal hierarchy to let Auba off his ill discipline, but stuck to his guns. Courageous and right. Auba is trouble.
