I can see that our owners really tend to put themselves in situations that are hard to back up from and fix the mistake (contract and pr-wise). And they do some mistakes.

It's not like we're gonna play good any time soon, so a player standing out positively in otherwise shit team performances is a good sign for us. Any average player can stand out in a well-drilled team, Caicedo and Cucurella being prime examples. But it takes something special to impress in a team with no cohesion or play patterns, a la Hazard - that's where you want to splash hundreds of millies around.

Vesper 30,172 Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 FC Copenhagen https://thedailybriefing.io/i/142136960/copenhagen Roony Bardghji - a strange case for one of best talents in Europe. From being top scorer with ten goals for Copenhagen to… zero minutes in first games of 2024. The reason is that Bardghji has no intention to sign a new long term deal - from the summer, he will only have 18 months left on his contract with several top clubs monitoring him Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd might also need a coach , de zerbi might go to barca I'd go for amorim, girona coach or emery , but I've no doubt we will stick with the mediocre poch or get another loser like Laurent blanc Yeh and with INEOS taking over United, they're getting Dan Ashworth and apparently he's keen on working with Potter again... I feel like we would end up with De Zerbi as the owners seem to love anything related to Brighton.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he would have looked just as good as his Brighton days at Liverpool. How is that Klopp gets new midfielders and they seem to be able to work in his tactics from day 1 (that guy they got from Leipzig, Gravenberch, MacAllister are all new to Liverpool)....but at Chelsea every player takes so long to figure things out.

In terms of technical ability, passing range , ball control , goal contribution he’s actually well below average. I doubt Liverpool even wanted him , just forced us to pay more after high jacking their lavia bid , who’s actually a good player who would have thrived at Liverpool, assuming he would be fit there robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though we complain about caicedo’s passing, but he can hit a long ball and assist rarely tho (still 20yo). The one thing he has in common with Mikel right now is the absolute inability to shoot and score goals. caicedo is quick and very mobile—the opposite of Mikel. Despite the shortcoming in caicedo a game he’s still more useful than Mikel was. Edited March 2, 2024 by robsblubot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,172 Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 I was dead wrong about Edson Álvarez he has been great for West Ham as their main DMF, and overall probaly has been their best player, at least consistently vastly better player at than either Enzo or Caicedo, especially Caicedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the shortcoming in caicedo a game he’s still more useful than Mikel was. Finally we agree on something. Never thought Mikel was all that and to this day I found him to be a very average player, yet now since his podcast he’s getting Chelsea legend labels. It’s as if people are pretending to forget how frustrating he was. Side to side Mikel. Wasn’t great technically, limited passing range, offered next to nothing in creating chances, but was decent defensively. Ramires was more of a legend than Mikel. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
