Starting well as always

If Maresca can be switched on and somehow get the attack working - we have Lavia coming back and I'm counting on less mistakes from the GK going forward. But that attack has look lost for two months now other than brief spells at the start of games.

Palmer up top should be in consideration

Yup but if you thought we were bad the last two months, I don't think we can reach even those levels from now. As bad as Jackson's scoring run has been the last 2 months, he is comfortably the best lone forward we have.

That is the end of March. Season over

To replace them with a new generation of average players - From Ziyech, Werner, Pulisic to Sterling, Auba, Mudryk, to Noni, Sancho, Nkunku The next lot are another group of 19-20 year olds

With fullbacks, we need someone who can play in the inverted role. We need both a RB and LB in the market - a backup for Cucurella and a starting RB who can invert. Gusto is not able to play this role from what I've seen

We've lost our way but it is nothing close to the dreadful football played under Potter Caicedo is managing the midfield on his own and it shows

Boehly and Co. out

Wins since mid-December - Wolves, West Ham, Morecambe and Shamrock Rovers. 4 in 11 games

Caught offside cannot be taken seriously The club have signaled by briefing its reporters that Santos is going to be integrated next year.

Relying on Vesper for streams

Their logic is there's Nkunku, a player they valued at 50-60m. 3 forwards in the squad - Jackson Nkunku Guiu

Who is the CB you'd sign?

Guehi will be available for cheaper since it's the last year of his contract. I would take him over any 19-20-21 year old being lined up

Would be daft to signal they've lost faith when there's still 3 months to go in the season

What is behind the hesitation to try him at CB here. He seemed physically capable of handling the CB role

Free signing as backup looked like a good idea in the summer. But he is way too exposed now. We really needed a CB in the summer.

this group thinks it is way better than it is - So many players have slacked off

We will have a smaller group of motivated players going forward - at least in the autumn we had Felix, Nkunku, Mudryk coming in motivated to play. We have to figure a way of getting back to using the squad well - something Maresca has forgotten to do since mid-December

DD Fofana is back

Needed a player there given Lavia's injury record. Hopefully this kid is good enough to be thrown straight in

Dario Essugo is not a signing for the Chelsea squad this season since he has already played for Sporting and Las Palmas. Cannot be registered for a 3rd team

If he's the next Moussa Dembele, why did Sporting loan him to Las Palmas or consider giving him away for much lesser than the release clause?
