Then why isn't the manager adapting to the circumstances?

I was wondering why Kante was subbed, didn't make any sense. Injured you say? NOOOOOOOOO How serious?

The best part is that he was so big-headed that he thought Real would want him unconditionally and make him an automatic starter. How tables have turned. He wouldn't even be the best keeper at Chelsea anymore.

Just popped in to say I've been dropping acid all night but this right here has been the highlight of it all

Otherwise liking the line-up, false 9 can work well if executed right like demonstrated against City a couple of times. But subs I don't get, why 2 strikers if he never uses 2? If one (or both) of our full-backs gets blown out, we have no cover and no, I have no confidence in Rüdi or AC performing there as they are too slow for their wingers and full-backs.

Because we are run by fucking that's why.

If we buy Kovacic, then he only needs to be backup/competition to Jorginho and Kante. Absolutely useless as an advanced midfielder, that spot is suitable only for RLC and Barkley.

What about your crush Thomas Strakosha?

You wouldn't? With transfer ban looming? I'd be shocked. We never clear-sell a whole position, we rather keep crap than do that. Emerson unfortunately is more likely to leave because Alonso signed a fucking stupid extension.

Why is Azpi playing again? Poor fella

Absolutely the right thing for a fan favourite to say at this time. He isn't getting sacked anymore, it's too late for that, now everybody needs to be on the same page for a strong finish, including the fans.

True. But still I don't think both are needed to win majority of the fans over. Anyway, not important, just something I felt like pointing out, but is not a big enough statement to make a discussion over imo.

Don't agree. Cups are often a coin toss, a small individual error may lose you the thing, but it will not be representative of the overall progress in performances. If anything, improved performances will get you top 4. That's my view at least.

I think what you meant to say was what he has to do to get you on his side again. Getting to CL one way or another and showing improvement in performances would be enough for the majority I'm sure.

Fake news most probably but if true, then take it and run.

What, he's scored only 2 league goals since going back to ATM??

Exactly. I actually think he would be an automatic starter for us if not for his back problems. I think he's more dangerous than Barkley and infinitely more dangerous than Kovacic. Barkley hasn't impressed me, he had a few good games but overall he's been average or below that. RLC impresses more often than not.

He is what he is, he's no Maldini, can't change that, but it's still hard to dislike him.

Tbh I really doubt Luiz wanted to go back, he leaves the impression he really loves Chelsea, so it would have been pointless to accept it and possibly ruin the club's relationship with a player who is useful and really wants to play here. This Qatar rejection enforced that opinion, he's not in it for the money. He is somewhat of a clown but it's really hard to dislike him due to the aforementioned. Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Wait, PSG wanted him back?

That's why I consider all people who slam him for lack of assists stupid as fuck who take anything what pundits say as gospel. This video shows very well that the players in front of him are mostly toothless who can't even receive the ball properly. Assisting depends on your teammates, not yourself like scoring.

What the fuck are you talking about? I cringe every time I read such comments... what marijuana, wtf? Wish we could keep playground kiddie "insults" to ourselves.

It's easy to understand though, he costs less and is American = profit. Also he isn't satisfied with his lack of game time, much easier to lure away than an on fire and very expensive Sancho who extended his contract 3 months prior. We would have had no chance at Sancho.

Super interesting, thanks for sharing that.

Oh shit, you're right I totally forgot that we loaned him out. I had this idea that he would sign when the window opens, dunno where it came from.
