To me he is the only serious manager we've had since Tuchel. We burnt our bridges with pretty much all of the elite managers so we have to take a punt on someone and he's as good as a punt gets. 
I am overall very happy with him and unlike with Poch I have the feeling that year after year we're just going to get better and better. Yes it is a long term project (it always was) but at least now the development story has actually started.

I can't believe that people are questioning Maresca as Chelsea's manager, the difference between the two teams is night and day. Under Maresca we have patterns of play where we are much more effective at pressing, and beating the press. The players seem to know what they are doing instead of trying to make things up as they go along.
Personally I put the recent blip down to inexperience of the players, and being a little light in defence and midfield.  We had more than enough opportunities to win each of the recent games where we dropped points, with an improved squad and greater experience next year I'm confident that we'll manage periods of adversity much better,
I don't even think that we need that many new signings, a new centre back and goalkeeper, and bringing Santos back when he's completed his loan should address weaknesses in the squad.

No need to risk many players but I still think we should put 11? 🤔

Told you so on half time. GET IN! 
Brentford are tricky side to play. Don't have a great record against them. Time to change that and march on! COYB!

Leave him in Kazakhstan next with with Sanchez!

fuck spuds!!!!

#Chelsea are willing to part ways with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the next transfer window, with Aston Villa eager to strike a loan deal which would include a buy-option for €15million + €7m in add-ons.

Now now, I’m assuming your a bloke, 1 the racist shit it’s disgusting we are in 2024 mate chill the fuck out with that shit, secondly your online abusing a woman over a football forum, log off look in the mirror and decide what kind of man you wanna be, and grow up.

Righto just watched the replay - missed the game live as I was busy with my partner having our first baby delivered :)
Lovely to watch how dangerous we are going forward - Neto and Palmer both look excellent and we know they can do it in PL. Great game from Madueke as well obviously.
Coaching will sort out Caicedo's performance(s) in the pivot imo, he's just rushing things a bit when he doesn't need to and other times not rushing it a bit when he does need to, but he'll totally get it. Hope Lavia is back soon though, he is in better form (and had a proper preseason).
Earlier in this thread there was some talk around how toxic it is on this forum and in general in the Chelsea fanbase now, and how lots of people are becoming disengaged and lurking instead of posting. I feel this! I also lurk a lot simply because the toxicity is so strong and it feels a bit like going to an opposition's forum sometimes, when you check out the threads they have about your club. Unfortunately this will only go away (a bit) if we go on a sustained winning run, we saw the same from Arsenal and lots of clubs when they were shit and poorly run for ages. Winning is the best tonic.

The 35/40M are already extremely little I must say incl. bonus hmm.
They even have us for Samu in hand want 70M upwards and we give them Galla for 30M plus bonus🍹
We pay a lot for every transfer and get ripped off here!!!
 
Same Story with Trev only 25M

My dream girlfriend is Sydney Sweeney. But I have as much of a chance at getting her as we do of getting Nico Williams.

Breaking News!!!!
Understand Chelsea and Leicester City have reached an agreement in principle for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. There are still some details to finalise.

Don’t buy that for a second. I genuinely do think Nico will take a step forward and be much better this coming season. And he’s someone who shoul fit the new manager perfectly.
No chance we discard him already, even if Isak was coming the other way.

Carney going is absolute pathetic, he's one who is going to be superb
This board are useless cunts

We should definitely get Jonathon David if he wants to join on <= £200k. Problem really is does he want to? Going to have endless options at that transfer fee + goal record.

Yeah fuck off.

Sorry bro I've always been a 20 second man, what can I say?

Dammit man!! 😂 I deleted that 20 seconds after hitting post because I realized they were the exclusions. You and you fast fingers hitting reply!😂😂
Good catch on Mase not on the list!
 

Chelsea reminds me of DiCaprio. Going only for under 25 😆
