Clearlake have absolutely killed what Chelsea is and has been about since 2003: being successful and being successful in the present. Pochettino will be another sacrificial lamb, be it tonight or somewhere between now and the end of the season and yes not without blame. Been saying it since the Tuchel sacking - the real problem lies with the owners, the culture they are bringing as well as these dipshit football directors who everyone was sitting wanking over because we paid a huge release clause for one player and about £70m too much for another in last January’s window. Giving some of these young players these 7 or 8 year contracts as well… and even the more high profile names/fees. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo tonight, wow, pathetic and not for the first time this season. Cost £225m in total. Mudryk again, passed for the goal but every decision he made was poor. Cost £70-80m. Based off tonight you wouldn’t say they were worth £30m combined - hopeless. These fucking clowns running our club and picking our transfers are clueless. How they and Poch can think Sanchez & Disasi, are good enough for a club like Chelsea? How? They wouldn’t get a fucking game for Sheffield United ffs.

Probably the recruitment boy from Brighton we signed when we took Potter.

James miles off it. Fucking miles off it. How fucking obvious is it he is coming inside there? Little skip and jump thing as well, pointless….

Beginning to think his signing was a PR stunt.

Moments of magic? Are you kidding me? What ones do you mean, the missing a sitter? Messing up an easy pass? Shooting in a position where his team mate was better positioned? Yes he played the pass to Palmer but hardly magic, the magic part was done by Palmer… Anyone using Mudryk and moments of magic needs to stop reading text commentary and watch the actual game.

Undeserved but great finish. Palmer is a one man team, everyone else has been shocking. He’s not been great but only one you’d actually think can do something worth of note.

Yeah I’m sorry but if this is the continued level of performance, Poch can get to fuck. Hopeless performance wise and tactically against this Manchester United side? Sackable offence on its own. Also did we sign Michael Jackson instead of Nicolas Jackson? What the fuck were he and Sterling doing there

Been coming. They’d had what 2 or 3 big chances already before that. Enzo-Caicedo pairing in a 4231 is laughable. Gaps everywhere. Also Enzo again what the fuck is he making a challenge like that for on McTominay for when the balls gone up basically? Absolute baffoon. Is he trying to get sent off 😂

Anybody. Mudryk is a wasted shirt

True but still, Palmer and Sterling works on the wings. Would of rathered Poch played a kid in MF than him. Sitter missed and a piss poor pass by the man in question in 2 big situations.

Mudryk is a waste of a slot in this team btw also. Poch is going to lose his job constantly picking him. 100%.

What the fuck is Enzo playing at?

Wow, Luton beating Arsenal. Unsure how anyone can say Raya is a better GK than Ramsdale, absolutely insane. Mental how we and them both ended up with Raya and Sanchez, 2 of the most overrated GKs in the league. …..and its 3-3

Still want a lot lot more for him. Definitely has the capability to do more. He has been up and down all season after a promising first 6 months, he’s not really hit any real consistency this season - although I think he’s played a lot of football in the past year and may need a break. Plus neither has the team as a whole but both Enzo and Moises, for the money we’ve paid for them, they were huge statement signings - I don’t think it is wrong to expect more of them particularly. Connor’s probably been our most improved and best midfielder this season under Poch.

Lo Celso with a belter. Spurs have faired pretty well compared to the first half. Brave approach trying to go toe to toe with City but they also look like their struggling for some reason.

🤣 Lavia is better than Caicedo? Sorry but not a chance. Caicedo’s a good player, never £115m though but he has struggled here yes. Can’t wait for the inevitable meltdown/calling Lavia trash when he doesn’t live up to your outstanding expectations… Onana from Everton? Crack the next joke….

Just seeing the game now, Gallagher sent off and Caicedo probably should of went also…. our discipline is really becoming a concern.

Yeah lot of other questions re Tuchel that we won’t ever get answers to but we were also told Luis Enrique was seen as “too demanding/wanted too much control” and thats why the Boehly-Clearlake consortium went another way with Pochettino. Again on TT, Bayern are a notoriously well run club and have a specific way of doing things, always have, but even they are willing to work with Tuchel despite knowing his history… so makes me inclined to think that Boehly & co could have maybe been able to do so for longer than 5 months or whatever it was. Again which nobody ever mentions was after an incredibly stressful time for him & the club where his behaviour was absolutely exemplary from the fall out from Russia-Ukraine & Roman situations. Throw in Pat Nevin being removed from media duties by the club I would say that big bad Boehly & co don’t like their decisions being questioned - despite it being blatantly obvious to everybody including Stevie Wonder, that their decision making has hugely influenced the past 18 months, as it has been pretty piss poor. But this is the typical American way, yes its your sport and your club but we know better because we know everything….. and we will do it our way regardless of what you think because we are right and you are wrong. Only just over 8 more years before they can sell up, can’t come soon enough. I think things are going to get much much worse if I am honest, the sheer incompetence at board and footballing operations level is incredible. Either way on signings, one thing is constant, these sporting directors have had involvement on every big decision/signings since January and 90% of them have been bad/severely overpriced with no hope of value for money. And barring Sterling (may divide opinions but been the best one from that first window) the first batch of signings under Boehly/Tuchel haven’t done much either.

Started doing good? He scored 1 goal but his performances before and after were hardly good. And he was rightfully subbed off at HT after the Fulham game. Then he scored what was definitely a cross against Arsenal. Not sure where the good performances have been. He has had made around 30 appearances for us and has rarely convinced, how much more leeway/chances does he get? I don’t see people saying the same for Noni but that’s because he didn’t cost £80 odd million. Lets just face it, he isn’t good enough. We got taken for a ride.

How many apologies is he going to make? Apologised for not being fit/re-injuring himself last season, then for a poor season, now for a petulant red card…. be one for every day of the week at this rate. “Another lesson to learn” the guys 23, captain of Chelsea, an England international… Even if it was seen as harsh or not, he should know not to kick the ball away after conceding a foul or whatever it was. Just ridiculous in this day and age after the severe cracking down on these type of things over the past few seasons for any footballer to get red carded for this. Never mind the captain, the guy who alongside the managers go to the referee meetings regarding rule changes and everything else at the beginning of the season. If I am honest he has struggled heavily since taking the armband for performances and fitness. Was an incorrect decision when it was made IMO, always thought Silva should of taken it. He has too much to get right yet because RJ is still unreliable fitness wise.

So it will soon be coming up to the 1 year anniversary of signing this guy. Apparently, he has been “frustrated” by the lack of top quality service he’s getting here? Or so an ex team mate from Shakhtar has suggested in the media. Ironic because I think most of us have been frustrated watching him run the ball into a area with 3 or 4 opposition players or fuck up easy chances. If we get any offers for him and Noni in January - just sell. Cut our losses. Jesus if he wasn’t on an 8 year contract or whatever, would say just rip his deal up.

Not surprised. They turfed Tuchel out because he didn’t want to do things their way and was mummers that he was very critical of being so involved in things outwith his job as head coach. Some rumours doing the rounds that Poch wants much more say on the January transfers too - so will see how that goes. Surely to fuck he will get a bit more say. It’s blatantly obvious we need some more experience. Questioning the recruitment and more importantly Stewart & Winstanley’s role in it, is absolutely needed though. Been banging on about this in other threads for a while now. We’ve spent what maybe 750m in 2 windows under them and its hard to see where we got any value for money or improvements on what we had before.

Everyone keeps saying this but one season of playing every week in a piss poor Southampton side hardly fills me with confidence. Also the same sort of things was said about Andrey Santos as if he was some sort of world beater based off of maybe 3 decent pre-season games. Now he can’t even get a game for Nottingham Forrest. Will reserve any actual judgement to the two of them play some competitive games for us. We tend to get over excited about players. Lavia for me is one of those who maybe will become a good player but whether he was a necessity this summer is another question. Interesting point re Mount, I think he would of played the same role as Gallagher has so far under Poch. That sort of more advanced role, linking with the forward players and making those sort of willing runs that creates passing options to break the lines for others. And maybe would of suited him yes, as he had a similar role with Tuchel although maybe a bit more offensive. Again as mentioned above, Southampton is Southampton. I don’t think from what I seen of him last season he was an absolute necessity this summer but like with us, Mudryk and Arsenal last January, Liverpools interest and our desire to sign every player who exists… it happened. When he plays we will see.

Maybe there is an option but I think we wanted him on a new long term before loaning/selling.

Ffs are these cunts serious. How many u21/23 MF players are we going to sign? And I don’t care if they are all going to be the next Zidane or Busquets or whoever…. That is now Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Santos, Ugochuwku, Casadei, and now this guy. Not to mention we are more than likely to sign Habib Diarra from Strasborg too at some point as we’ve been following him. Talk about fucking unnecessary transfers. Yet we still need a top CF, a top GK, a top CB. If we don’t address a reasonably experienced good level CF in January and keep signing u21 MFers and CBs then we are fucked. Now and in the future. And then Winstanley & Lawrence should get their p45s end of the season. £35m for someone with 6 months left on their deal? I want some of whatever your smoking haha.
