Strike

Boehly and Co have badly misread the European football environment. They’ve come in, treated players like cattle (like in American sports you can trade players against their will) and given a young unproven coach a long contract. In American leagues you can do this but in football, the club will get financially punished for it finishing below 4th.

When Boehly wants to get rid of player power at the club

Yet to win a game since the window closed. Club really booked themselves into this situation handing Potter a long contract and a 50million payout for a sack

One signing I really wish happened in 2010

Sarri was different from the other two. He chose to leave and return to Italy. The players do down tools at Chelsea and its a known thing. So many ex players have spoken about it in interviews. This Athletic interview of Mikel is literally headlined - 'Player power is in every club, mafias. You do what you have to do to get the manager changed' https://theathletic.com/2453979/2021/03/23/mikel-exclusive-player-power-is-in-every-club-mafias-you-do-whatever-you-need-to-get-the-manager-changed/

Looking like it. Needs to be held accountable and I think the owners - for all their course correction in the recruitment - got this appointment wrong. Tuchel figured out on the flight to London that he needs to play a 3-4-3 with this group. He was not able to evolve us tactically or get the attackers to play well but at least we were competitive in games.

Its over. I've long given up - We won't make the Conference league this season. Have to convince Reece to stay on and rebuild in the summer.

Lmao “Chelsea amortising transfers and points over 8 years”

Hope Azpi is okay. They're not showing him on my feed

Feel like this is too big a squad and too many big egos for Potter to handle too. Club needs to look up who are the options to replace now

There's been a lot of upheaval but Potter is on 21 pts in 16 league games. Gotta go

Even at Arteta's worst phases, the players believed he had a plan. I don't see how Potter gets the players to believe in him if the last few months are anything to go by.

Azpilicueta should not have swiped at that tackle. Miles away from the ball and gave a dangerous freekick taker the best part of the pitch to strike from.

Azpilicueta is done. Please give him a farewell and send him off

Worst thing to do there with Ward Prowse in Southampton.

We can't get out of our defensive third

Athletic saying James has been rested today

Without Reece, the team loses so much

Southampton have had 60% possession and 4 shots in 10 minutes

The bottom team in the league confidently playing around this Chelsea team at the Bridge 🤷‍♂️

RIP Atsu. Nice tribute

Havertz finally dropped

Jorginho showing again he can't screen the mid well anymore

Precisely this - zero protection on that counter. We needed to take this at 0-0 to the home leg when more of the boys will be fit and hopefully we have some rhythm in attack
