Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

It seems like a popular thing to do when people are happy about a win to point out the team they beat is bad. It’s worth pointing out West Ham have been above us all season, beat us at their ground and beat Arsenal at the Emirates. It’s all moot anyway, as my general point was just how well Cucurella has been playing since Poch altered his role, starting with the second half at Villa away.

Sorry bud no offense but he is wank. Great miss by us.

He has been utterly wank for 18 months of the 18 months he’s been here. I’m just acknowledging that he’s been quite good the last 2.5 games and maybe this version of him, the inverted version that supports the build up and is a positive influence on the game is the version we might have seen at City had Pep actually signed him.

Let's be honest having Chelsea go above utd can only be good news.

Zinchenko was best thing since sliced bread in an inverted FB role for about 1/2 season before his flaws started becoming apparent. And he cost Arsenal <half what you paid for Cuccarella.

We’ve managed to win half a dozen premier leagues, a couple of FA Cups, loads of Carabao Cups, a Champions League and numerous community shields, the super cup and the club World Cup all whilst playing poor teams. How fortunate is that?

Is that a whole two and a half games. Any add ons?

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. What does Zinchenko have to do with anything? I just said seeing him play well in this role made me understand why Pep initially wanted him. I always wondered why that was, because I couldn’t see it watching him at Chelsea. I’m not in any way claiming he’s amazing or that he’s somehow turned a corner. It’s disappointing that one has to always add 100 disclaimers to posts to avoid having to defend things one never even said.

Is that not worth commenting on? In a Chelsea thread?

Then City fans of all fans should know how utterly boring it is when people do that :)

The difference being that EVERY team we beat has been crap and you beat just West Ham who are crap. You have lost to crap teams as well, we only rarely lose full stop.
