So if we continue 4231 midfielders for next season: Enzo New midfielder to pair with Enzo in pivot Kante Santos And maybe Gallagher for 5th place just in case plus homegrown. Don't know what will happen with Zakaria. Available for 25m. Mount cannot play pivot and not sure he wants to be backup for Nkunku. If Felix continues like last 3 games would be stupid to buy him. He plays for contract next 2 months.

Don't think it's true about players but I believe club told Potter to play 4231 or some sort of offensive setup. Potter in Brighton played 3atb like Tuchel but dropped it here. And I actually support this.

So by Law he is gone if we don't eliminate Dortmund. I really hope we do. Ofc don't expect us to go all the way but it would be nice distraction for the rest of the season. Second leg against Dortmund is March 7th. QF second leg is 18/19 April. So we would at least have something to think about, be excited and hope for 6 more weeks. Even in first leg it was clear we are way better side and who knows in QF we could potentially get another very average side like Milan, Inter, Benfica. Players will at least show up for CL.

Yeah, considering PL games have no more importance this is great opportunity to build Fofana-Badiashile partnership for the future. They can be here for next decade easily. KK will still play a lot I think because he must play CL. Silva potentially back for semis.

Potter or no Potter this season is over. Can't expect any respected manager to come in now. Every italian manager was successful here. Maybe to look there again? I do like Flick and Enrique as well. Don't like the revisionism about Tuchel. He was part of 3 different PL campaigns and showed around 75 points and top4 is his maximum. Plus I'd like to believe pragmatic coaches like him, Mourinho and Conte are not welcomed here anymore. Club direction it seems is to always play on front foot. This should be priority.

I didn't wrote why they turned into shit. We are on same page.

Get new manager and try to win CL.

As expected. Mudryk, Felix, Enzo all started amazing and turned into shit after a couple of weeks here.

Put 2 blondes.

Yes!!!

This is pathetic

Ziyech is joke.

I would prefer Mudryk and Sterling moving to the right side.

Looking forward actually to see Fofana and Badiashile establishing partnership.

Koulibaly injured Silva.

This is why I never liked Sterling. Diver.

Reason is he is by far best option we have upfront. And last game proved it. Night and day difference with him and Fofana in the first half. We have Auba but people are not happy with him either. I would say Havertz doesn't even have competition for a place.

Cucurella and Kovacic not on the bench. We don't have FB on the bench. Expected lineup only KK over Badiashile or even Fofana is strange one.

United post Ferguson so in 10 years just won double in Mourinho season. EL and League Cup. Today they may finally add another one.

It would be nice not to stay on one goal in February.

He received death threats. So sick of idiot fans!

Strasbourg is beautiful city. Really enjoyed my time there. Also I find it weird how Boehly is stick to Chelsea all the time since he bought the club. I mean he has businesses in USA as well.

When Hiddink replaced Mourinho we still finished 10th that season. It's hard to motivate players to fight for nothing results wise. We know that team had quality because they won title season before and after. This season is similar so I'm really not bothered about PL results till the end of the season. They say nothing. Potter can put more pragmatic approach like Tuchel and easily get better results. But that's not a point and what club wants. We are all sick of that because it works only for a year and after that it becomes toxic and we go again. Happened so many times here with Mourinho, Conte, Tuchel even Grant, RDM, Hiddink first time. Now it's the opposite. It's toxic from the beginning because we are finally changing philosophy and direction. It will be hard for many, many more months but in the end it will be worth it. Potter is sacrificing right now for the future and long term goal. He knows very well 343 or some similar ugly shit could get him result for example against Spurs in 2 days but he will bravely continue with 4231 even tho it probably won't work again because he is fighting for much higher goal than not only one game but whole current season. Potter is not screaming on the bench but has bigger balls than TT. I salute Sir Potter for sacrificing his name only for Chelsea to be better in next 10-15 years. People say they would be fine with this process if some better manager is doing it but I don't buy it because same people were screaming for Sarri to get sacked in January, February after 4:0 and 6:0 defeats. But Sarri was doing amazing job that season in the end. If he stayed 2 more seasons he would finish the job and put us there with City in terms of consistency. But he couldn't because of transfer ban etc... And with Roman it was not impossible because he had this short term policy which worked well most of the time. But now is the time.
