Premier League Games 16/17/18 Sept 23

All that money spent and Sterling is still their best and most influential player

I think what you have to ask yourself is if you think this looks like a Chelsea team that will challenge for the Champions League title in the future? With the money spent that must be the expected target. To me it does not look like it.

Nowhere near.

Wrong choice from Palmer and then he almost scored.

 

[jimharri]

Never touched him.

Why do so many people rate Pochettino so highly ?

As far as I can tell the only trophy any of his teams have ever won is the Intertoto Cup. It’s not as though he’s not had a lot of great players and loads of money at his disposal. Just another bang average coach.

This
13 games before today without a win away from home in the PL and didn’t he also manage to finish 2nd with PSG in the 1 team league one year

Nowhere near.

I agree, it looks to me that when they have been out on their “toy shopping” sprees they bought all the shit toys that nobody else wanted.

Chelsea being 3 off the bottom of page 2 on this forum tells you exactly how relevant they are.
My prediction of them being lucky to finish mid table appears to have exaggerated the their potential to finish that high.

They're far more likely to challenge for a CL than a league title.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Nowhere near.

And even that's being kind.

Something really odd with Chelsea. The money spent and the players bought smells funny.

Still can’t believe people have a go at city’s recruitment. It’s night and day from most teams. Also, you need a good trainer. What do these managers do all week?

Wheres the money been spent on? They don't have a good striker, still relying on Silva at the back, sold two keepers and brought in Brightons #3
