love the confidence

We always seem to put and get fairly decent results against the traditional Big 6 - so let’s have an open mind. Arsenal already slipped up a week ago who’s to say they don’t again.

I’ve been calling for us to look at him as our striker since January.. He can flat out score has great hold up play and strength.

Should shut him down for the rest of the season - let him have his surgery and comeback fresh for next year. We can easily cope with Conor playing beside Caicedo and bring Carney in as the 10 or Mudryk who plays better more centrally in the half spaces.

Well we will find out if this team has it in them to step up when the talisman is out injured.

These players fight over who gets to take a penalty in a game we are winning comfortably but when we need them to really step up and show why they deserve to take a pen they don't.

Incorrect we were set up to beat them and had more and better clear-cut chances that loss was not on Poch but the execution of the players both offensively and defensively. We stifled them for 83 minutes and should have been 2 or 3 nil up before they scored. Such is life the agenda against the man for past mistakes doesn't mean you can't objectively look at his work now.

The doom and gloom here after to losing to a veteran team of Man City even if they had just played Madrid is kinda crazy. We were set up to take the game to them and we did our finishing let us down again. Man City with their experience knew they needed just one chance and fortunately they got it. I know the loss stings but in 3 games this season vs City we have not been blown out and have been right there for the taking. City for years has crushed us minus the TT CL win. Over March and April I’ve seen a different Chelsea team still inconsistent but much better than the start of the year.

Oh absolutely you have all these players that are supposed to make an impact in your squad but they are on the sidelines

Naw Chillwell has had to go for since after we won the CL let's be honest. He's too injury prone and his decision-making in attack and defence is poor.

Yes sports psychologists do work but a club like Chelsea you believe we don't have that on payroll. My university in the US for D! soccer we had it. What I'm trying to say is that no matter how much a manager or a professional works with someone that still may not give results. It is not just this year that concentration at the back has been an issue however we purchased a bunch of ball-watching defenders and that has hurt us greatly this season. The exodus of AC and Rudi had us panic buy average defenders in Fofana, Koulibaly, Badi, and Disasi. At the time the market for WC CBs that were available wasn't there. Especially to a team that just came out of sanctions. If there is one thing we need to do this off season is replace our two main CB. I hate to say it but look at what Arsenal did and how having a solid backline has propelled them up the table.

That was not easy for them took them getting a fortunate call ( no penalty) and our starting RB going off injured for them to score in the 83rd minute

We were robbed a penalty that would have changed the game. Still to play in the league that’s our first loss in 9 games let’s hope it doesn’t kill our season. Finishing and decision making in the final third has been our problem all year alongside concentration issues. All we can ask for is if this team stays together as it is they take these losses as fuel to perform better next season.

I see this differently you can’t coach concentration. Also city saw our right side get weaker when gusto got injured and attacked those half spaces. Concentration has been our issue all year. If you tell your players to stay focused and they don’t execute that can’t be the managers fault that’s on the players

Chillwell needs to go

This game wasn’t Poch fault - we had to replace our RB due to injury and they capitalized on that . We were set up to win and we had chances we were wasteful, you can’t blame the manager for that

As soon as Gusto comes off

Noooo Gusto

No he is not stop that

Enzo needs come out he’s feeling that hernia drop Conor back and bring in Sterling or Mudryk

Don’t know where else to post this https://nltimes.nl/2024/04/19/dutch-football-strips-vitesse-18-points-slowing-russia-sanctions-investigation

My only concern is Marmar gives out huge rebounds and without a sure defensive line I can see us shipping more goals than this year

Well, I guess that's a no-go.

How much you think it would take Dortmund to part with Kobel - he has some pretty sure hands and very good reaction saves my favourite out of the bunch.

That game hurt us big time that was a chance to really put pressure on the teams ahead of us
