Hope the new ownership isn’t chosen based on sentimental connection to the club. Are Broughton and Coe rich enough to spend and keep us at the top? Or might they be preferred just because they’re English and Chelsea supporters?

Just hope we avoid Bayern and one of City or Liverpool draw them.

If we can get Reece back and he STAYS back we could do some damage in the CL again. Without him it’ll be a massive struggle if we draw a quality attacking team.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Kante and Jorginho both have such poor games before.

ALONSO IS FUCKING TRAAAAAAASH!

When we aren’t playing fast breaking football with Alonso receiving the ball whilst sprinting he is USELESS. Just like playing with 10 men.

Azpi and Alonso are so past it defensively. Lille can smack in crosses whenever they wish.

Very fortunate moment of class in an otherwise horrible first half. Just extremely frustrating that we’ve started with 3 in midfield and yet cannot string together 3 passes in the middle of the pitch before losing it. They press our midfielders and they cough it up over and over again. And therefore there is zero link up to our 2 forwards. This is an issue we have whenever ANY team, even those in the bottom half of the PL, press us and force us to play the ball quickly.

Jorginho having an absolute fucking mare here. Now we’ll be truly rattled.

Chalobah skinned again. In the exact same spot as he did against Newcastle. We’re desperate for a new CB there.

Christensen is soft as Charmin. Always has been. Thisbright here is why I’m glad that he’s going and will hopefully be upgraded on in the summer. He gets injured CONSTANTLY.

Nearly every time Jorginho is pressed aggressively he loses it. Needs to wake the hell up to what’s around him when he receives the ball, ffs.

We have 3 world class midfielders in there and are still struggling with the press… 😒

Of course in a match we actually want Liverpool to win to benefit ourselves, their best player isn’t fit to start. 😒 Watch Arse win now. 🙄

Kante, Kova, AND Jorgi. I love it. That midfield should really ensure we control this match. Tuchel will surely have drilled it into the players’ head that we aren’t through yet and cannot take this lightly. So going for such a secure midfield is a good choice.

There’s is genuinely a ton of interest in buying the club. Like, there seems to be a frenzy. For that reason I’m actually surprised that there isn’t some lone tech billionaire who wants a shiny new vanity project. It’s all consortiums. Someone like Steve Balmer (former Microsoft guy) who recently bought the LA Clippers for $2.5B seems like the sort of guy who would be interested.

What this whole process is showing everyone yet again is that there are not really any “good” multibillionaires. Or at least very few. Everyone we’ve been linked to so far has something sketchy about them. I guess it’s just how you have to be to achieve that sort of success. Whoever buys us will have at least some sort of unsavory thing about them.

Just forget about Christensen, guys. He’s gone. A solid but unremarkable player who, because he has Thiago Silva and Rüdiger playing beside him, has been made to look much better than he actually is. Add Reece James being on his side of the pitch as well. Good player but won’t be missed if we buy a new CB. I bet anything that we won’t be saying to ourselves a year or two from now “my god, I can’t believe we let him go to Barca for nothing.” He’s not a world class talent or anything.

Whoever it ends up being, the first order of business needs to be ensuring Tuchel is happy and making him feel like the ambition to compete at the very top remains. He should be offered a fresh contract to stave off any sharks that may be circling and give him his top targets this summer.

Ricketts family is highly scrutinized by the Cubs fans for being cheap as hell. If they are the head honchos here we’d probably become Spuds or Arse. Very limited spending.

^ yeah, he’s not a good guy. He has directly contributed to the awful state of US politics in a big way.

Ken Griffin is your stereotypical mega rich hedge fund guy. He often makes headlines here in the States for donating huge sums of cash to right wing shitheads like Trump and pushing for the slashing of taxes for the ultra-wealthy so they can line their pockets even more. He is also very well known in real estate circles for buying some of the most expensive properties in the world, including spending a record $238 million on the most expensive flat in history in NYC. He likes to launder his shady reputation by donating to museums and charities like anyone of his stature. Basically, he’s like the mega-rich movie villain who everyone roots against.

Ken Griffin, another right wing Trumper asshole. 😒

Just anyone other than Woody Johnson at this point. Even if the Boehly consortium doesn’t spend mega money on transfers every summer I think he can at least be trusted to keep us competitive and dangerous near the top of the table. Woody Johnson would turn us into Arsenal. His cheap ass would let us rot for years and merely be “okay,” spending money only when things get desperate and the fans are revolting.

That’s the worst Atleti side I’ve seen in years as well. We’ve battered much better ones than that. If we go through tomorrow I hope we draw them. Don’t see their attacking players troubling our defenders much. Felix is good but Griezmann looks completely washed.
