Literally can't buy a win at this point.

We were mocking PSG, now we are in same position. Except way worse, performance-wise and we didn't do ourselves any favors with some… uhm, personnel appointments.

Not criticizing TB for this though, everyone makes mistakes, it's how one handles them that matters.

Must be super frustrating for him to see his team constantly muck things up. He's there every game.

Even more frustrating that its finally dawned on him that he's not good at his job.  Awful manager

[NikkiCFC 8,285]

Lakers are not doing good either. Guy can't enjoy his teams.

500000000 million pounds spent and no even one normal striker in the squad.

Yes because no elite striker is or has been avalible yet. Or do you prefer another Auba?

not having a striker is unpleasant and holding us back but that is not why our style looks stale, boring, unimaginative and not creating any vertical penetration. I know Kai has been poor but today was actually a very good CF performance in terms of movement and positioning, holding on to the ball well and winning a fair number of balls high up but Westham packed the box and all we could manage was mostly poor quality deliveries, cutbacks and passes.

I prefer we play with Fofana.

Okey so we do have a normal striker in the squad?

DDF and the soon to be gone (maybe) Auba

Chelsea: Potter could unleash Lukaku heir in Mason Burstow

https://www.footballfancast.com/Chelsea-fc-news/Chelsea-mason-burstow-graham-potter-lukaku-premier-league-opinion-academy-analysis-latest-news-cfc

Chelsea spent £323m in the January transfer window and since Todd Boehly’s ownership takeover in May 2022 have spent £553.95m in total which has prompted concern about their Financial Fair Play obligations.

It is reported that the Blues could find themselves in hot water as early as next season due to their frivolous spending, especially if they don’t qualify for the Champions League next season.

Graham Potter‘s side are currently ninth in the Premier League table and ten points adrift of a Champions League qualifying spot inside the top four due to a string of poor performances that has seen them struggle to compete at the highest level.

Indeed, there is no doubt that the new additions should make a valuable impact on the club with the likes of World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez joining the ambitious project at Stamford Bridge, however, despite the excessive spending and signing of high-quality players, the club are yet to address one of their most obvious issues.

Chelsea have struggled to find a striker who can be a consistent and reliable threat in front of goal with Romelu Lukaku shipped off on a season-long loan to Inter Milan after re-signing in 2021, whilst three-goal outcast, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has failed to hit the ground running since arriving at the club in the summer and Armando Broja is out with a long term injury.

As a result, Potter could save Boehly a massive financial fair paly headache and millions of pounds by unleashing a rising star from the famous Cobham academy with young centre-forward Mason Burstow making a name for himself already.

The 19-year-old earned a nomination for Premier League 2’s Player of the Month this week after an impressive run of form – scoring three goals and registering two assists over the first calendar month.

Since arriving from Charlton Athletic in January 2022, Burstow has established himself as a regular in the U21s with 20 appearances, seven goals and four assists so far and has already been rewarded with a first-team opportunity when he came on against Aston Villa in a friendly.

Judging by a lack of goals from Chelsea’s centre-forwards this term then the “remarkable” Burstow – as dubbed by Liam Twomey – certainly deserves more opportunities to shine judging by his ruthless record to date.

Should the 6 foot 2 ace get that chance, then he would well prove himself as the rightful Lukaku heir in the seasons to club, thus potentially saving Boehly and co millions when considering their options and targets in the summer.

With that being said, the future is looking bright for Burstow at Chelsea and with a deep concern mounting on the club’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season, Potter has nothing to lose in giving the young talent an opportunity to shine in the first team. After all, he is already a goal-scorer in the Football League at his tender age.

He is inly 49 years old. 😢

So, let's hope he gets bored or embarrassed pretty quickly and decides to sell the club asap.

He cannot sell the club first 10 years. And why would you want him to do that? Guy is willing to spend big, put some competent people in job, ready to build new stadium... Cannot think of a better owner actually. 

[Gundalf 805]

Yeah, lets get tha Glazers in. 

[Hashishi 148]

I for one am happy we have Western owners, its getting a bit washed out with Emiratis at City, Saudis at Newcastle and probably Qataris at United. Its like they're playing monopoly in the PL.

[TheHulk 2,401]

His biggest mistake was changing stuff so fast, should've waited until January when we had people in place. That wasted 200M summer will haunt us for a while and same goes with Potter.

Maybe not, he can help us build a nice team. Remember what Raniere did in building a team before we gave him the boot and got someone else better.

If a top coach sees what we are building and the patience the owner has shown he might be interested as will see it's a bit different then under Roman. 

So not bad me thinks.

Wonder who was in charge of transfers in the summer? Everything indicates nothing to do with Boehly. 

He liked a post that Cucurella is shit and not Chelsea level. Matt Law and other reliable journalists wrote about him being against Auba and him pushing for Kounde but Tuchel was strongly against it which later lead to signing KK and Fofana. Just like in PSG, Tuchel showed that he is very incompetent in transfer market.
