Our Squad is overrated

[capriccioso 2,545]

I think we are certainly good enough to win two trophies, finish in the top 4 and get to the quarter finals of the CL.

Anything other than that, this current crop just don't have the experience to drive us that far.

I've been hearing so much about how great our transfers have been this summer. although I like the youngsters we've signed, for the season upcoming, they are no better than last year's squad.

Marin - Not as good as Danny. He struggled in Germany but some around here act like he's supposed to turn into Jesus Navas - a speedy winger that beats his man and gets a cross in -

KDB - another name that's supposed to be helping alot. He's not ready for Chelsea yet. Nowhere near what Kalou did, or what Malouda can do. Yet because he's young and a new signing, we instantly consider him better than what we already have,(or at least a replacement)

Oscar - He's young and might take time to get used to Chelsea. We don't even know where to play him

Our midfield is nowhere near as good as our opponents'(Manchesters)

Our coaching staff has not convinced me yet either. we finished 6th last year and won cup games parking the bus most of the time last year. We certainly have the most unproven staff in compared to the Manchester clubs.

so lets sell all of them and buy another set of players.

If this is how people act when we lose a pre season game, what's going to happen when we lose a real game?

- Fire RDM

- Sell hazard

- Ask Terry+Lampard to retire

no, I wanna keep em, and reduce our expectations of our season. But I like how u wanna sell our "best " for uniteds squad players.

It's overrated by a lot of the posters on here who think Eden Hazard is as good as Messi and think that we're bound to win 4-5 trophies this season.

More realistic appraisals for our seasons plausible objectives, like my own, would see this team not be overrated. We still haven't kicked a competitive ball yet. I hope everyone can wash themselves of the delusion that we're going to win everything this year, we're point blank not good enough and the squad is far too off balance.

That.

We often laugh at other fans for being deluded after 1-2 signings thinking they're gonna win it all but it seems that most people here have been infected with the same problem too.

We have good attackers, i disagree with you on that bit.

But our double pivot is serious problem, and i mean very serious.

I don't think Lampard can play it, just because he had a good 4 month playing it doesn't mean that's his new natural position and he will play well.

John Obi Mikel is embarrassing, shite player, never seen him track back once, on that 2nd goal where was he?, he was miles behind that player who scored, when really he should be marking him and tracking back. Not years away having a convo with the linesman.

That double pivot is the strength of the team, it really is, we need to get that sorted.

KDB will come good, i assure you, he is a good player. Hazard i'm actually a slight bit worried.

Or maybe...scrap the double pivot and go back to good ol' 4-3-3?

5 games into the season and we got ourselves lets say 12/13 points and these will be the people shouting "i told u so, these guys are the best", then 3 games drawn and we ll fall back to "rdm sucks, sack him,he is the worst". its the same story every season.

Could be a good idea, but i can't see Di Matteo changing it to 4-3-3.

our maybe I really think our squad isn't that good? Or is this like when we first signed AVB and we weren't Allowed to criticise anything about him until the season started.

This forum has gone to pot.

And yes, before anybody says it, why don't I just leave and not say anything etc...

Hope he can..its not good for a manager to act like one-trick pony.

Jesus wept. We lost a friendly, cry me a river. Boo fucking hoo.

Come on , stop posting idiot things that have no sense , we have surely a fantastic team , surely the best chelsea team on paper ever , we played good football today , with a team that didnt manage to play togheter , Marin needs to improve in the last pass / shoot , more lucid and Hazard is good , with Mata (Forget him ? ) and Oscar , we'll surely be great team.Stop saying bad things beacause we lost a friendly by conceding a late goal , if the ref gave us a penalty more than clear , what would you say ?
