Blue Armour

Now Estavao arrives.

And Pedro Neto is down and out. Well done Maresca.

Maresca persisting with wearing down Neto.

Where's Estavao???

Yes. Neto and Garnacho look spent.

Spurs getting freebies in the middle of the park. Horrible officiating.

Bentancour..with just a yellow. Crazy.

Thomas the Frank engine kicking water bottles in the background. Lol

Fucking hell, Caiceodo willed that goal into existence

Joao Pedro tossing away golden opportunity. Should have passed to Neto. He is way off form currently

Spurs with a spell of possession thanks to the clown play by Gusto

And then Gusto comes up with a dumb moment.

At least Chelsea are keeping control. Spurs look boring.

Why does he keep changing the CB lineups every game. Taking a chance. Have to say his squad rotation is piss poor.

Could probably still do a better job for us than some of the attackers we have up top tbh. If only he kept his general fitness up. Could've given it a go as a free agent squad player. But, likely comfortable and relaxed doing what he does now.

The jokers up top have to call themselves out. Piss poor squad building, and drawing another name from the list of experimental managers instead of going for a proven entity. Remember, these clowns were also considering Ange Postecoglou as a manager here before he went to Spurs. All they want is a yes man who will eat up any BS they serve about long term planning. Also no, I wouldn't call Poch a proven entity either.

Disasi was signed for 38m? Wow.

You mentioned the main CBs Fofana and Badiashile being injured, but whose fault is that? These guys have been on the treatment table for years, but the club has decided to do nothing about in several windows.

Fabregas managing here would be something. Should take his time though, just like Lampard is doing now.

Another source of info to corroborate, looks like. Laughable that after all the gamesmanship of waiting nearly 3 years for 'the right sponsor' ends up with them retreating with their tails behind their legs. To once again quote Eghbali for his astute observation: "Chelsea were quite frankly an asset not terribly well managed on the football, sporting or promotional side" Well done to Eghbali & co. in making it more 'well managed.'

Could have saved the wages of both Fofana and Tosin for the wages of one good, non-injury prone CB. Idiots in the management team won't realize the benefit in doing that.

Painful to say it, but their recruitment team prioritized heavily on upping the quality of their defensive resources, while ours sat back and brought in injury prone CBs as well as freebies like Tosin. Oh and wasted a 100m on average wingers.

To be taken with a grain of salt, but if true, apparently we are finally going to accept a sponsorship bid in the range of 40-45m. So does that mean all the 3 years of holding out for a 60m bid were wasted?

If Maresca restores the Tosin Chalobah CB partnership over Acheampong, then he really is an idiot and deserves the treatment he's been getting from our sporting directors.

Good thing is Delap is back soon. Should give some room for Joao Pedro to breathe, and we dont have to rely on Georgo or Guiu up front.
