The better move for Gallagher if he had ambitions of actually playing for something meaningful was obviously Villa. But with Spuds’s current injury woes he walks straight into their first XI and locks down a place for the foreseeable future. They’re shit in midfield even when everyone was fit for that matter so he probably thinks he’ll stay in the team. At Villa he’d have 4 key midfield players he’d have to dislodge.

Horrific goalkeeping there. That header was soft as hell and he could easily have caught it.

An XI filled to the brim with loads of players who should be desperate to prove that they want to be playing regularly and this is what they show. Abysmal lack of quality.

Tosin and Badiashile look like shite even against lower league opposition. Badiashile looks like he’s running with cement in his boots.

You’re always so over the top hostile in EVERY one of your posts. It’s really tiring. Calm the fuck down. I just disagree. He’s a good player. He’s not some world class, massive level raising player for me. And one of the main reasons all of these huge clubs you’ve named are really interested in him is that he’s available for free in the summer or “cheap” by today’s standards this month. Not because he’s some VVD level monster.

In our current state and with other PL giants all wanting him I don’t think Guehi would consider us for a second even with his connection to the club. In fact, us “giving up” on him and selling him is probably something he holds against us. Others may disagree but I feel like I’ve said here before in the last couple of windows that while Guehi is a very solid CB, he isn’t the massive upgrade who’d instantly solves our issues at the back that everyone is desperate for. I don’t think he’s any better than either Fofana or Trev. These are all solid PL CB’s and nothing more for me.

Arteta has a CB fetishized so I wouldn’t be surprised if Calafiori is moved to LB for good.

Arse already had the best CB pairing in the league BY FAR with Saliba & Gabriel. They then bought Hincapie & that kid from Spain who are both top quality depth. And now it’s coming out that they want Guehi. Meanwhile, look at us. This is how insanely far we’ve fallen. Fucking Arsenal may soon have FIVE CB’s that are better than every single one of ours on their way to pissing the league and as the favorites to win the UCL. A club for the last 20 years we’ve laughed at and taken the piss out of as we have owned London. Absolutely depressing.

The fact that we’re behind Brentford and that absolutely diabolically shit Man United side should see a load of people employed at this club sacked. What an unforgivable state we’re in. As abysmal as these players have looked this last month+ the level of talent we have in this squad is still MILES better than all the teams currently around us. Year 4 of BlueCo and we look even further off the pace than we did when they arrived. They’ve done something that should literally be impossible with this level of investment.

We may legitimately finish midtable. In a season which, before it started, we had title aspirations and at the start of December we were within just a few points of the league leaders. It’s an absolute disgrace.

In almost complete control of this match with Fulham missing so many key players and we pull this shit.

Another Chelsea match ruined by a red card and 3 more points flushed down the toilet to a vastly inferior team. I ask this again, why even bother watching the rest of this season if these players are going to pull this shit repeatedly? Wish we could just end this shit show now. Fuck off.

If Tosin fucks up yet again this should be his final ever appearnece for Chelsea.

Need Palmer to break out of his rust and start to perform here. Been back long enough.

Holy shit. If we don’t win this with all these key players out…

This guy looks more like he’s getting ready to give an Apple keynote for the new iPhone than he does a PL manager. 😂 Seems like a genuinely nice, pleasant guy, though. But also someone who doesn’t quite know yet the scale of the job at hand.

The whole “at least we should see our players playing in their correct positions now” sentiment that I’m seeing from a lot of people I’m skeptical about. What exactly does that mean with our current squad? Fofana & Trev is our best CB pairing and that automatically means Trev plays outside of his natural position on the left instead of the right. Lots of people moan about our fullbacks pushing up into midfield or even bombing all the way forward in Cucu’s case but that’s what’s made him such a valuable player these last 2 years. Tbh, the positions the players were deployed in wasn’t so much the issue with Maresca. It was the constant chopping and changing and never building genuine chemistry.

I think the only way he gets people on board and believing in him is if we miraculously turn things around completely the rest of this season and finishes with UCL football. We could at least then convince ourselves that we’d have something to build on. But even if he does that these guys above him will go wild doing silly bullshit in the transfer window.

Insane contract. Whilst I can’t imagine his salary being close to the other top managers who are on millions upon millions, that’ll surely be yet another hefty payoff when he’s sacked inevitably sacked shortly into his tenure.

I wasn’t going to watch this match anyways but seeing this XI I think we could concede 6.

As of this moment you’re probably right. But if United go out and make a couple of good signings this month I think eventually them playing 1 game a week becomes a real advantage for them. Especially with a new manager who will need time to adapt.

I’m sure the reception will be warm mere hours after we get battered 4-0 by City an drop to 7th or whatever in the table.

A club that has employed some of the biggest and best managers in the world and won the biggest trophies is appointing a guy who wouldn’t even be under consideration by clubs near the bottom of the league. It’s like someone is playing a sick joke on us.

Leaves Strasbourg in similar shit form to what we’re in. Sure does inspire a lot of confidence…

Rosenoir definitely comes across well in interviews and press conferences. Seems like a likable, intelligent guy. But that doesn’t mean he’s anywhere close to ready for the step up to Chelsea.
