I know that. That's why we scored three against them last year.

Ramirez

That's how they play. When they have the ball in midfield it's seldom they will not complete an attack

Played off the pitch and only 1-0.

TT destroyed - bring on Graham Potter.

Cucurella is short - no good for left back. Also he cannot attack. His first shot at goal of the season was against Villa (wide). His bodybuild is that of a midfielder but it's not his position.

Penalty and Kepa will take it.

Pulisic

Lampard played 4-3-3 against Wolves and gave them possession of the midfield, especially in the first half when Wolves was pressing. Against Real this can be disastrous because they are more skilled. A 3-5-2 formation is better, or rather whatever system TT used last year. Our hope is that their slow defense will be vulnerable to counterattacks.

So they have n't been so bright - compare with Pep team. But under Boehly it's the scouts again who decide and the manager perhaps. We need some professionals. As a rule when we bring a player from an inferior league system it's a fifty-fifty situation. But there is more to it than that.

Under Roman we did make a lot of lousy -or not so great- transfers: Falcao-Pato-Morata-Haverts-Barkley-Werner-Lukaku ... The scouts we have are to blame.

Judging from our two previous encounters with Real Madrid I believe it's not impossible to go through. After all last year and the year before we were not exactly a monster team in the premier. But I also believe City will dispose of TT and then against City our chances are a little better than infinitessimal. Against Bayern again inifnitessimal. So forget the champions league, it's the same as Canada winning the world cup or something like that. But reaching the semis is an achievement initself. I don't know what will happen next year, more than six players have to go. It does n't mean they are useless. They 're all good for the Italian clubs for example so we can put a price on them.

I only asked how long it took Mou to become top manager (could have google it). I did not compare. Wait for Everton to survive, then tell me about Dyche. Anyway even if Lamps is not up to it, it was n't his fault today.

Look: Havertz can't score, Sterling next year,Auba forget it, Joao neither. Further out Kova only tap ins against Turkey, Gallagher shoots at the opponents bums.

Everton lost 2-0 to United - should have been 12-0. They are well into relegation trouble. As for Lamps he did gain some experience whether he wanted to or not. Can you tell me how long did it take Mou to become the special one ? I mean before Porto. However Lamps lost to Wolves today as we saw. He did not create a miracle and it would have been a miracle.

It 'll stay a disaster area for some time, there is no escape. And we cannot stage "educational" matches now with amateur teams, it's not July. We have to play against premiership teams. The word "goal" is forgotten of course in Chelsea language. It is also true that this was going to happen this season no matter what. I 'm still against Potter because he did n't manage to fix a single cog, but this team is not functioning.

Can Frank Lampard become the permanent manager ? - Lamps has gained experience since he left us two years ago. - Everton's dismal performance cannot be attributed to him, they are a poor side this season. - It's difficult to win the champions league but he may do it. We have n't played a single match yet under Frank Lampard so it's a tall order. But is it impossible ?

I believe that 95% of the managers are sacked because of lousy players and only 5% are incompetent (and Potter more likely than not falls in the 5%). What do you do when your players are lousy ? You kick them all out ? Then there will be no match next week and you relegate because you don't have a squad. You buy an entire new squad ? Has to be the transfer window plus dig a treasure from somewhere. So throughout human history the manager pays the price. Therefore with either Enrique or Nagelsman I will be happy, but whoever it is has problems to solve.

Dortmund won it when I was a cub scout.

Small quantities. Name the last year a team other then BM won the bundesliga.

So do ostersunds and Jeunesse esch.

ll

Tuchel out of the cup to midgets Freiburg.

Saw only highlights. How can all those chances be missed ?

Is it possible Boehly waited till Tuchel went to some other club before sacking Potter ?
