TT got us into top4 in the end thanks to opponents just like Lampard. He won 38 points in half season which is 76 full season and that is underperforming with this squad. On paper we are easily 85 point squad. Draws with Leeds, Wolves, Southampton, Brighton, losses against WBA, Arsenal, AV... His pragmatic approach could work in knockout system especially if you have easy road to the final like we did... Fa Cup final was also huge cock up. And it is scary to think without Kepa he would failed to deliver Super Cup and would already be eliminated from Carabao Cup.

I agree. RDM also won Fa Cup but TT failed.

But wtf is Watkins doing there? Only zero in his numbers this season. Over DCL, Ings, Toney, Bamford...

Anjorin playing against Lazio.

We only concede from players with religious names... Found this on web: So, after MOHAMMED Salah and Gabriel JESUS, just found out Chiesa means Church in Italian.

5 subs, no Mount and Pulisic. Lukaku, Kai and Hakim were shocking and he did not play a second? WTF?!

Lets see if TT is different but every Chelsea previous manager when had downfall refused to change much... Conte never dropped his formation, Sarri stubbornly continued with his thing and Lamps refused to try some things many of us expected... If TT continues this formation with 3 or 4 slow players behind striker it wont end well I feel. If we go back to back 4 I think 4312 would be more logical for this set of players instead of 433 or 4231 which people usually expect.

I said even when we were winning games last season that this cannot work in long term.

I knew this was huge mistake! Especially after seeing real Lukaku salary with bonuses... Not that far from Lewa... But fee much lesser and age argument is stupid because Lewa at 37 will be better player than Rom at 32. He is in amazing physical shape like CR and Ibra.

And we were not good against Zenit and in Cup game either.

I remember some wanted Maehle after good EURO but Zappacosta benched him.

9 against Arsenal and 7 against City. Against us he did not score in first 8 games, only got 3 in Conte 2nd season. Still 3 in 10 games nothing special. We know how to stop him.

And they are out after draw last night. Palmeiras in the final. Still expecting Flamengo in CWC final.

Can we start a game good for a change? Last time we had good first half was at Anfield before red card month ago...

I hope Silva can convince Marquinhos to come here. Amazing player. Next summer 2 years left on contract, maybe we have a chance. Better drop 100m on him instead of De Ligt.

Will Inter ever progress the group? 🤣 Looks like this is going to be 4th season in a row without knockout stage.

Sheriff 6 points wow. Brugge also 4 points in group with PSG, City and RBL.

Real ahahaha

Unbelievable.

I agree. You are right to question TT about our attackers. I mean look at this season... Mendy, Kepa amazing... All defenders great even we got Chalobah out of nowhere. Chilwell is only problematic in back 5 but he had mental issues. All MF top except Saul but he just arrived, nothing to do with TT and is last in packing order. And now lets see with attackers... Lukaku scored some goals, he is what he is but those 6 players who play in attacking areas with him are all nowhere near expectations... Ziyech, Werner, Havertz, Mount, CHO, Pulisic... Too much quality, talent there but not one of them is performing. Very often they have so anonymous games that you barely notice them. This is on TT. He improved us massively in all areas but not really in attack, not at all... I was so anti Lamps but we even scored more goals last season with him on average. Even tho you did not agreed I remember I counted around half games last season with TT where we struggled to create anything.

1:0

Just like City wanted revenge on us, PSG want revenge on them. Big game for Grealish. Lets see if he is on Neymar, Mbappe, Messi level...

I dont buy his injury. TT said he got injured during Cup game but he finished that game and even took penalty. Before City he said if game is on Sunday instead of Saturday he would play but he is still out. I think he was given some time off to recover from whatever is going on with him... Even his big fans are surprised with how bad he is this season. His last good game was in May.
