Costa19 858 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Board can fuck off. Rumours where that RA and board was angry with Sarri talking about how bad the date for this friendly game was considering our EL final. And then this happens. Cant make this up Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 What a disaster. Fair enough the game was for a good cause but you need to prioritize things as a club. Having your best players fit when you have a cup final or playing a meaningless friendly (although it was for a good cause raised a lot of cash)....

At least RLC is a young, physical beast and had never any problems apart from back problems. I am sure that he will be back to his best after six months.

Same with Odoi. What concerns me more than the length of their recovery is Chelsea reaction. For all we know those two wont get a chance or will get two or three games to show their worth and then we ditch them if they dont perform. This season, they established themselves perfectly because other players were out of form. If Pulisic, Kovacic,...+ whoever we buy get their ground running, no manager will bench them for Odoi or RLC which would be a real shame. If we buy lets say Ndombele this summer, RLC can pack his bags and leave the club unless he wants to be sub forever. These injuries came at the most terrible time. Hopefuly board reacts smart and keeps both in the long term picture and by this I mean give them serious trust and game time once they return.

They've both proven themselves to Sarri now and I think he would be waiting for them with open arms next season. If it was Lampard or an English based manager, again I don't see an issue as both have enough hype around them on these shores and are both England internationals. If we brought somebody from abroad in though with limited knowledge of them both, there's every opportunity they start back at square one.

Regardless to be a top team who wants to compete in multiple competitions we need to improve the squad, look at City had very good CBs already went and signed Laporte. Had Sterling, Sane, Silva already went and signed Mahrez. Thats what we used to be like, had Lampard, Mikel, Makalele, Essien already and then signed the likes of Ballack and Deco. Dont think we can guarantee the likes of CHO and RLC anything like okay you will play every week. Same with Andreas. If we signed a top level winger, top level midfielder and top level centre back it would not only improve the first 11 but the squad because we would shift some of the crap out.

I think it also depends on if we are able to buy new players. If we are, RLC is in big trouble because Sarri would buy big time. If not, RLC should be fine. Lamps knows RLC and is probably a fan of him. Mount can replace him til then and then Kante-Mount-RLC (if Mount is any good).

Yeah but often giving faith into these under development players pays big time. Kovacic was way more established player than RLC at start of season but thankfuly RLC got the chances. If we bought quality CM or winger, he might be better right now, but if CHO and RLC get play time and develop as expected, they will be quality for the next 5-10 years. And they are youth products, they often show more passion for the club, especialy nowdays. Mahrez at City is nice example. He is a good player, but if Pep gave that playtime to Sancho, he would likely get top player for the next 10 years. But more than anything, I dont trust the club can bring and attract actual quality players. I rather keep faith in Odoi and RLC than bring some expensive inconsistent players like Willian or Kovacic.

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 His career is done for. He will miss a year and will need another one just to get back to this level by that time his closer to 27 and we know Chelsea dont wait for anyone. Such a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Absolutely disgusting. Fuck this club man. Scheduling a bullshit friendly during the season that no one gives a fuck about. A total shambles from top to bottom. Johnnyeye, Atomiswave, the wes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Look at the state of that fucking pitch. They're literally raising it up like a carpet. Stadium was almost half empty too. Whoever scheduled this must be incredibly stupid. Johnnyeye, Vesper and Atomiswave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzy_Vance 454 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I am so f***ing pissed off. I have never been this filthy with the club before (and that’s saying something). Why on earth are we playing dumb exhibition friendlies on terrible pitches in the USA right before we are playing for a European trophy???? I shit you not, when I saw our lineup for this game my piss started to boil. WHY? Roman should just donate the chump change in his wallet to charity and not risked our best players on a shit heap gravel pitch.

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The ironic thing in all of this is instead of the game being talked about promoting anti-semitism, the biggest talking point coming out of the game is RLC's injury, so as a result the anti-semitism message from the game has gone largely ignored.

Will most probably be back in action by the end of this year (6-9 months). Which would make him 24 (23rd Jan bday). So he will take 3 years to get back to his level? I honestly doubt it I expect him to play a decent part in the 2nd half of the next season. And be a major part for us for the coming future.
