Poch is here for transitional period of 2, 3 years. Nobody would win PL or CL with this team either. And he is happy to do this period while best managers would moan and leave in current situation. The way I see our project is that you suffer for 3, 4 years but are building the team to win 4, 5 PLs in a row. You don't think that's worth it? In general only PL and CL are trophies of huge significance. Under Roman after Jose's double in 2005 and 2006 we won big trophies in: 2010, 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2021. 5 biggest trophies in 16 years. That's great but new owners are taking different approach and could end up genius. Problem is many fans don't see bigger picture and are impatient. We are on right track imo. Results will come and shouldn't worry us right now. In guys like James, Gusto, Colwill, Fofana, Enzo, Caicedo, Gallagher, Lavia, Nkunku, Palmer I see players capable of dominating PL. Klopp is leaving, Pep will soon as well just in time when our young players mature. Our time is coming. Someone else will come and pick all the fruits from Poch foundation.

We are 4th on table in second part of the season. Last 15 games. 4 to go. Should stay there. Went to Wembley in both cups. Scored already 27 more goals than last season. Not to mention double digits injuries of essential players all season. Plus gonna finish with around 15 points more over last season. So we improved in many areas. Sacking Poch would be ridiculously stupid thing to do. Give him next season.

Maatsen played a lot in pre season and had goals and assists which makes it weirder. So theory about failed move could be right.
-
You got it right ✅️
-
Yep, Leverkusen triple incoming.
-
United 54 Newcastle 53 Chelsea 51 4 games to go. They play each other and United have Arsenal. We have favorable fixtures. Win all 4 we finish 6th guaranteed. United doesn't scare me at all but Newcastle could be a problem. They also have good schedule.
-
Agreed defense is biggest problem. But our projected starters Colwill, Fofana and James were never available. Plus DM in front of them in Lavia. Plus we lost a lot of points because of Sanchez and Sterling/Jackson fucking up in front with sitters and selfishness.
-
Both always had like double digits injuries. Not even worth judging them in this circumstances. Replacing Potter with Lamps was stupid but I blame fans. We will never find out if Potter would win CL last season.
-
We did very good against traditional big 6: 3 wins 4 draws 3 losses Only Arsenal won more points! Very promising. Now learn to unlock weaker sides for next season. Should be easier part of job.
-
Last 6 games without Enzo 5 wins 1 draw. Draw was the other day against Villa. Should be win but ref fucked us. Not trying to say Enzo is biggest problem but they don't complement each other well.

Acheampong!

4 pages on match thread against Spurs. What happened to this forum or should I say club?
-
Greeks doing at Villa Park what we couldn't.
-
Unreal again Jackson didn't pass to Palmer 😡
-
Didn't celebrate goal at all. Expected this nonsense...
-
Wtf are they looking? 🤣
-
Wait for VAR first...
-
Majority of season we had like 10+ injuries. At some point we were down to 5,6 and now again 14. More than ever. This is going on for 2 years now. How is this possible?
-
Bench is comical. Starting 11 also but this is what we have...

Can't imagine Conte working with current board. Couple of bad results and he will say with his bad English something like: I am a winner but this is young squad we need to suffer for a couple of years, I'm not used to this. Will basically just take the payment for sacking after 6 months, 1 year... Eventually some new manager will come and have better results but also because of the hard and unnecessary transitional period by Potter and Poch. They were brave to play with 4 atb even tho they knew results would be better with 3/5 at the back. But this is what we need. We didn't have any big success with 4atb for a decade. And no manager in the world would have it. Tuchel and Conte would never have guts to do it. They would play it safe but that wouldn't help us in the long run. This is why I respect Potter and Poch. Sacrificing for Chelsea future even though someone else will pick all the fruits.

Juventus skipped it this season so yes. Winner gets roughly 15m. We get 50m just for participation in Club World Cup next summer in USA so go figure.

Wow hit the post twice
-
Our last summer target Ugarte can't get into this team. Skriniar also. Enrique prefers some kid.
-
Colwill, James, Nkunku and Sterling back in full training. But for sure not match fit to start.
