Imagine getting both he and Nainggolan. What a midfield 3 we'd have.

Indeed. I just wish so badly that Verratti didn't play for PSG. Otherwise he'd be the best signing we could possibly make for our midfield and he'd be working for a manager he's familiar with. We have no chance, though, since he plays at a super rich club already.

Yeah, I watched the whole game and Italy looked very solid. They were also missing several of their best players so they'll look even better with those back. If Conte manages to bring in a couple of midfield beasts and a CB of his choice I think we're in for a nice season. There's no way we can play either of his preferred styles with the personnel we currently have. We need highly skilled and mobile midfielders and CB's.

Let's see how our next manager fares here against a few of our current players.

If he doesn't like players "strolling" around the pitch then you can already see the first clash with the club over Loftus-Cheek. That's his exact play style.

Something must be mentally wrong with all of these Belgian footballers. None of them appear to have a filter when they speak to the media and have absolutely no PR training. Courtois, Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, Mirallas...they constantly seem to be making headlines for saying stupid things, mostly shitting on their own clubs. The only one who seems to be a mature, smart guy is Kompany. Just shut up, ffs.

I think finishing in a Europa League place would force the club to make more signings to cope with the added fixtures so I want us to finish as high as possible. Would also be hilarious if we finish above Liverpool and Everton which is possible.

The bad: our club seemingly hasn't learned its less with these preseason tours. Traveling thousands of miles in a summer with the Euro's also happening for manynofmour players. Just fucking stupid. A good start in the league is imperative and we risk a repeat of this season. The good: Chelsea will be playing Real Madrid 45 minutes from my house! At the stadium of my University! In front of over 100,000 fans!

If the next manager is the one who decides whether or not JT will be back like the club has said then you'd have to assume that the announcement will come during this season. Otherwise the club risk yet another disastrous PR move if our final match of the season also turns out to be JT's last and we don't get to "thank" him and all that like Lamps. If Conte isn't announced until after the Euro's and then decides months from now that he doesn't want Terry the supporters would explode.

Yep. Cahill and Ivanovic will get spun around or caught terribly out of position and they'll score. We'll be lazy and going through the motions.

Fucking City cunts...

Can't decide which I hate more these days, Spuds or United. Fuck off the both of them. City are so useless these days and have clearly just given up on the PL. Aguero is the only one trying. My one last wish for this season is for United to miss the top 4 and have José start his Man U career with no CL football. City are going to make sure that doesn't happen by the looks of it.

Sadio Mané is a beast. Will surely be off to a big club this summer. He's the perfect Mourinho player, really, and they've already been linked with him since last summer. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Starting to think so, too. He's a brilliant shot stopper and great at coming for crosses (even with this he's struggled this season) but the rest of his game is weak. His distribution is simply dreadful and he's really poor with the ball at his feet compared to many modern keepers. Only reason I'm not too hard on him is because of the shit on a stick he always has in front of him. We've seen what he can be with a competent defense in front of him so I'm hoping we build that over the summer. Having Ivanovic, Cahill, and a declining Terry shielding you is disastrous. At the same time, De Gea has had a huge array of shit in front of him and has still done magnificently.

Pato hat trick.

Will be very, very sad and downright angry if Oscar is atill a Chelsea player next season. Just can't cut it consistently in this league. Both he and the club would benefit greatly from a change. Will also be hugely detrimental to any kind of challenge next season if Cahill and Ivanovic are anywhere near the first XI. Ivanovic can be a cup player and Cahill our 4 choice CB. Nothing more or we handicap ourselves out of the gate. I hope to God we sign at least 2 of these powerhouse midfielders we're being linked with because we desperately need them.

Our midfield is just nonexsistant. The ease with which teams with average players carve through the middle of the pitch is mad. Made al the worse when we have statues at CB and poor fullbacks.

Remember when all of us were arguing last season that Courtois was as good or better than De Gea? Seems like ages ago.

Oscar is so trash it's hilarious. A #10 with the touch and passing ability of a CB. Truly, truly shocking.

That Chelsea hating co-commentator was even bitching about the distance of the wall for Cesc's goal. Suck it, lad!

This commentator HATES Chelsea, doesn't he? FUCK OFF! Nothing is a foul when it's a Chelsea player, eh?

We are seriously shambolic in midfield and defense. Can't handle the press from any side that does so and are getting bullied by their strikers. The club needs an entirely new defense in midfield this summer.

It really is humiliating how much better West fucking Ham play than us. At home, too.

Which is utterly ridiculous when you compare the talent in both squads.

Yet more embarrassing defending. What the hell was Cahill chasing way out there for? We're shit all over the pitch.
