Pool out - Manure in.

The above is true. Today Sanchez was more to blame then Disasi for the Leicester goal and we did n't have a truly world class c.f. since Diego. Makes a huge difference if you have someone like Diego or Drog. But the team is average because there is no system. Slow buildup. You did n't observe that today because it was an opponent from the championship, but we have n't got the ways to move the ball that City, Pool and Real Madrid have. About Arsenal I won't say anything because I have n't been watching a lot of Arsenal this year, but look at the way Real Madrid and City move the ball against organized defenses. You know they 're going to reach the box and create some sort of situation almost every time.

Pool - Chelsea, City - Coventry is the draw.

MVP

Chelsea 4 - Leicester - Doyle + Sterling 2. Pochettino out.

Why did m*****f***ing Sterling take that pen ? Where is Pochettino ?

PSG - Barca Atleti - Dortmund Arsenal - Bayern Real - City

Both City and Pool are in the cup.

Someone has to tach those players positioning and movement off the ball - how to play as a team. Have you noticed something about Man. City and Real Madrid ? When they have to play against an organized defense they can always move the ball downfiled to promising position. This we can't do with the same fluency-effectiveness (but in the old days we could of course).

Newcastle was beatable, I never joined the prematch lament talk here. I wrote about the wider issues.

The level of 2008-2012.

Let's face it. The players we brought the last three years, including the champions league year were not Chelsea level and things went from bad to worst. The champions league team was not as good in the premier and from the foreigns teams we played only Real Madrid and City were premier league top ten level really. Then we lost Rudiger and Kante and starting from August 2022 things are bleak. The replacements of the old squad were the likes of Lukaku and Aubameyang and the great white hope Mount proved a flop - he 's gone. Every single one of our present crop of players could do great in Italy, Portugal, Netherlands. Those are lower standard leagues (used to rule the world, now they are lower standard). But the present squad are not Chelsea level.

Poch sacked ? With Putin's facebook outage distracting me I missed the news. Unavoidably - unmercifully - unmeasurably u-u-u it's Jose now. Lock your daughters.

How do big clubs in this football world fall from grace ? Usually it is for one-two years, they lose a couple of places. Once in fifteen-twenty years they lose more than a couple of places, end up below midtable position but again this is temporary - big clubs fix things, that's why they are called big clubs. Then there are the paysants' teams. Sometimes they get lucky, win trophies, but no budget so they return to where they were. When some legend players come of age and depart is one reason and for the poor guys because they sell out. With Chelsea (and also United) what is the underlying reason ? We seem to bounce between Scylla and Charybdis three years now even though we spend billions.

At no point did we look like a superior team. Except the last ten minutes they -mistakenly- tried to park the bus. What sort of time does Poch want ?

Why you prefer Citeh to Pool ?

Ποκ άουτ

Final score will be 1-0.

Suppose Putin after having murdered Navalni decides to shoot one of his nuke rockets, just one. The target is say Gelzenkirchen, or Munich. He 's going to do that so NATO stop sending arms to Ukraine making his special military operation difficult. What do we do then ? Surrender ?

So you want City or Pool to win the FA cup, if we don't win it. Then 7th place takes us to Europa. Is that a fact ?

We are 12 pts behind a Europa cup position, with six teams above us, 13 matches remaining. What are the chances and has it ever been acomplished by somebody ?

Sterling was our worst player. They were all tired.

We are going to draw Liverpool tomorrow.

We expected Nkunku to make the difference, at least so far as the forward line is concerned. Came from Leipzig like Timo, but expectations were bigger. Now these constant injuries ...

Is this true ?
