Our team is different. Madrids also slightly different. No Casemiro, no Ramos, no Marcelo and then Alaba & Tchouameni new

Not sure why you kept banging on about beating them 2 years ago in the thread for the first & second legs just played. Totally different team now - no Jorginho, Rudiger, Werner etc. Totally different manager. Those games were never relevant at all.

Obviously his comments are aimed at the owners and the infrastructure. Boehly & Eghbali wont be happy but at least someone internally has the balls to speak out about their role in this season.

Reckon hes going to appoint himself at this rate.

But the desperation to get rid if Alonso clouded so many peoples minds for seasons - to the point where if he was having a steady enough game he was always at fault/not good enough/whatever. Funny now isnt it? And when Cucu was linked with us and City it was pages and pages of “Cucurella is a very good option” “he will displace Chilwell” “our depth at LB is best in the league” and whatever else OTT shit it would be. And now I see many of them same folk saying Cucurella is a dud signing…. shows how much they know. Alonso had his faults but at least you knew what you were getting most weeks. With Cucu its nearly impossible to expect anything reasonable. Barring that Dortmund game, he hasn’t done well but I think a proper coach will extract more out of him and a lot of others here (Sterling, Cucu, Chilwell, Kovacic, Mount if he stays, Felix if he stays, James etc). Whether he was ever going to be worth the moneys one thing but there is still a reasonable player in there with some coaching and development. ^ And was he really a Tuchel signing? As in one he pushed for specifically? I doubt it. He didn’t want to let Alonso go initially and the impression I am getting is Tuchel only let it happen when he knew he would be part of the deal for Aubamayang, who he specifically wanted.

Who cares, he never professed to be a Chelsea fan so don’t see why its upsetting. Its a short career, we were happy to sell at the end of the day for the £30m or whatever we got because it was a win to get £25-30m for a GK with 1 year left. He may be a cunt but he can be a cunt all he wants because he is that fucking good. Same with Ibra, Suarez, Ronaldo, whoever. His decision to leave here has been fully justified - we needed him much more than he needed us by the looks of it which you don’t say very often about players who leave here. I think that over the last 10 years he is the player we miss the most out of all the player’s we’ve had and sold on - noy including Salah & de Bruyne because they went on and achieved elsewhere where as Courtois was pretty good here too. I’d of rather kept Courtois over Hazard if I knew how the GK situation turned out since he left.

Agree with 90% of what you’ve said here. I mean the Boehly/Eghbali decision making processes this year has been abysmal - the links to every player on the go in the summer (not even going to go into actual signings), the whole technical director recruitment struggle and then Tuchel sacking was a bad start. You think hmm okay maybe just an uniucky start, a few things to fix but then going for Potter and watching us play even worse for months upon months before pulling the pin about 3 months too late. Surely couldn’t get any worse though? Oh wait, they sack Potter with some sort of idea in their head that Frank Lampard as a temp manger coming back here would win us the CL/save their reputations with the fans….. or media, or both. In January people were championing Eghbali and Boehly for getting Enzo Fernandez and Mudryk in but we have completely lost everything that made this club successful or at least what it was with Abramovich with these 2. I hope how they’ve conducted themselves and have been doing do over the last year doesn’t affect any managers looking to come here. I mean its at the point when people inside the club are saying that the situation is a fucking mess. And thats been quoted as coming from someone pretty close to the higher ups inside the club.

Has he sacked Frank yet?

Imagine if he actually played some attackers from minute 1, some of the chances could of been goals. Granted with the form of them, slim chance maybe but still a better chance than the likes or Kante or Cucurella going for them. Can’t wait to this season is finished fuck this

Frank has said he apparently told the players that he expects someone from the bench to be more likely to affect the game. Wow. Inspiring if your starting isnt it 🤣almost as good as Potters we played well after every loss post match.

Boehly wont be happy either. Seeing all these attackers on the bench, 3 that cost a total of near £150m in transfer & loan fees in total this year in Sterling, Mudryk and Felix. Sends a message.

Sell him for £30m if someone offers it. Donkey

Lets be honest fans are fickle. I mean if Newcastles owners came here, we wouldn’t of complained had their impact translated to what has happened on the pitch for them. Same with for City's owners. Just as how we’ve always said that people were jealous of us under Roman at the beginning. At least 75-80% of them wont care if it turns the club round and gets them winning and competing.

Would be extremely worried if United get some serious capital invested into them though. Regardless of who from. And if they start competing again and keep winning trophies, they wont be that worried. Like they weren’t hugely under Ferguson.

Frank clearly doing his best to never get hired by another club again after this also with this selection…..

Basically a shitter Conte v City tactical set up (although at least AC played some attackers) and I am guessing the same approach also. Sack him already, caretaker or not, fucking what a shambles 🤣 Gallagher in the line up v Madrid alone regardless of the position is madness but upfront is absolutely braindead and shows where we are at. Hilariously and hopelessly outgunned. Boehly sharpen your axe pal, your gonna need it after tonight. Or did he pick the line up? In fact Boehly would probably of picked a better line up 🤣

The streamlining of the transfer strategy has to be done right though, currently it’s clearly more long term. I mean already how many u23 players have we already signed? There is also an argument of how many of these players are we going to sign that won’t amount to being 50-100m players? Or how many of them go to Portugal or Holland then never come to England/ never make the cut also at bigger clubs? We’ve seen lots and lots of these players over the years. If the club wants to go down this route and become more of an Ajax or a RB Leipzig then fine but we need to prioritise next season more than say 2030.

For PL team of the season? Must be a piss take Havertz is in there. Oh and let me guess Potter is also nominated for manager of the season?

There talking about us having financial difficulties potentially in the summer and we are signing 15 years olds for 8 figures. When we are desperate for a CF and CM. This long term strategy is all well and good in theory but in 2/3 more years there will be other players undoubtedly of the same ilk. Priorities need to be made.

The parallels aren’t even remotely close. We had some leaders there and more importantly a tactical structure & top manager. We have fuck all of that now. Even the comparisons to 2021. Its pointless making them. We had Tuchel who could go toe to toe with any manager in world football on a tactical standpoint.

Lucky to even be considered a football player based on what he’s shown so far tbf.

This is certainly going to help, like everything else this stupid arrogant fucker has done this last year of being here. Wow. Let the football guys deal with the football. Should just stick to whatever the fuck it is he is good at, which is nothing football related.

Stay out of the dressing room. Its that simple. You don’t see or hear of any other major clubs owners in there every week or regularly if things are going well or aren’t going well. Just an absolute shambles. Having them in regularly must also put some sort of pressure on the manager also. Or seem like there is no confidence in them. Fair to say that since day 1 these pair have been a disaster, Boehly & Eghbali out. Who’d of thought the British government sanctioning Roman would have led to this…. Plus Todd addressing the players and saying this season has been embarrassing. Yes they’ve been piss poor but every major decision that has contributed to this season being what it is has ultimately stemmed from Boehly & Eghbali’s decision making, so he should take a lot of responsibility. Sacking Tuchel, appointing Potter, appointing Lampard. Take some responsibility. Arrogant cunt. I sincerely hope somebody wants to buy this club as soon as possible.

Was exactly same first time round too. Confidence is one thing but having some sort of tactical structure is just as important. No point lifting guys if they aren’t going to know how to play as a team.

Been saying it for months, he should of been starting. This no striker shit is embarrassing. We have had nothing to lose this season since after Christmas in the league really so not playing him regularly and letting Kai play as a false footballer - sorry I mean false 9 - every week has been shambolic.
