As usual from you a post saying how shit we are and how great everyone else is. Your not a Chelsea fan I'm convinced of it you never have anything positive to say you have no concept of what supporting your team is.

Unionjack said you would be my mate for me posting this, lol

You both need to stop this, I have had words with you before about this and it's still continuing. Three options left, you either stop now, take it to PM or I take you both from the forum for some time.

 

True I'm old enough to know better.

I'm not a doom n gloom merchant normally and Ill shout my fool head off for the lads whatever league we are in, And I know that Ive let my current mood effect my Chelsea head this past week and I realize that we got an OK team.

But I've gone from bouncing off the walls when Sarri/Jorgi came to feeling sad and let down mainly by the board.

It just does my head in when every single one of us can see the problems facing us (to varying degrees) so it baffles me why a room full of millionaire business heads can't do what is best for the company they work for.

Ive decided not to whinge about this shit any more. It just winds the fuck up out of me. (And i know it will all work its way out in the end. Its all a cycle.)

Are you saying your not excited by the signing of Rob Green UJ ?. He made as many appearances for Huddersfield last season as I did. Think Sarri's most difficult task will be keeping his cool with the twattish British media.

You know what mate Ive let him go. Hes never going to be used but who knows he might be better than Willy!

Sod em. Let the media get on Mou and Klopps back

Man U  has huge Mo-related clubhouse issues, wayyyy worse than we had with Conte, other than the death-blow he fucked us with by sending that bloody Costa SMS.

Spuds are fucked so far in the window, and if Kane gets hurt, they are fucked overall. Dele Alli is one of most overrated players on the planet IF he has another year like last one (regardless of how the cunt played v us).

Liverpool only needs a world class CB to pair with van Dijk and they are golden, unfortunately. If they ad that and also Fekir (supposedly that is now back to being resurrected again) they could beat out City if they dont fix that DMF situ. They also could use Joe Gomez at his natural CB position, and that might be their world class fix (I think he needs a year or 2 for sure still to get to that level.

Goonas are fucked at CB (I think Mustafi is shit, but they did add Sokratis) at LB, and at the wings, maybe at GK too if Leno plays as shit the rest of year as he did in first game (hello Karius 2.0)

These are the signings Klopp has made since he became manager. It has taken a while but he has been fully backed to get his own starting 11, with players of his choice in every position. They're the main challengers to Mancity without a doubt.

Ox is out for the year with that bad injury. A shame, he was really playing well. Maybe Gomez will finally get regular time at CB. I deffo think they might still try for Fekir (such a weird story).

Henderson is their captain, so he starts in midfield with keita and fabinho anyway. With firminho in ST position and shaqiri coming from the bench, they have a strong 11. We'll see if they live up to standards tho... Klopp is always better in knock out competitions than in league.

Green and Caballero can swap World Cup horror-show tales in between picking up Sarri's bifter butts

Between Willys passes and the gap between Tibos legs they would be ok as a pair? Maybe a good idea for the future. 2 keepers.

CFs are one of the most important pieces in the puzzle. We currently have very weak CFs in the squad.

No defense? Of course we fecking did. We had the players to do decently well, it's just pre-Arsenal game Conte was a bit stubborn to use them and kept deadwood. We had the 2nd best defense in the league that season.

Anyway, I never said 2016/17's squad was anywhere near perfect, as it had a tonload of cracks. As you mentioned, the midfield players were very sub-par bar Kante. And if Costa decides not to play, we are kind of screwed up front. It was very clear to see in the 2nd half of that season, especially the FA Cup final.

Thought we were talking about the team Conte started the season with/inherited (if we go down the route of the latter he didn't even have Kante)? He had a back four of long past it Ivan, Cahill, long past it JT and Azpi with Aina as the back up (no amount of reviolutism can make that defense very good circa 2016), currently there's many back four combinations we can roll out that are a lot better than that.

But to say this current squad is better? This squad got us 5th place

Compared to the squad Conte inherited that got us to 10th? yes.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri 'still waiting for the best Morata'

"You have to move the ball at a great speed on the floor, otherwise we risk playing for 90 minutes with 75 percent of possession but without scoring. So we have to improve on this."

From the video above, its already evident that in just 2 weeks under Maurizio Sarri, we have already begun creating a new identity. 

•Ball recovery

•Recycling possession

•Regaining possession and breaking on the counter

•Short passes in between the opponent

Hopefully Sarri is given enough time to get it right, it would be fantastic to watch when it materializes.
