And keeping Disasi is exactly why I don't want a new manager. A new manager comes in and wants to give a try to everyone he has. Now he knows better. Context is needed here. Can we stop already using Conference league like it's some sort of achievement, would've been beyond embarrassing if he didn't win it. He scrapped past Top 4 in the last game of the season. As for CWC great win against PSG but an absolutely comical road to the final if we got the draw PSG got we wouldn't even be in the final as Bayern showed.

Even poch would have won the conference (would have been fitting in same season spurs and Kane won something) It looks nice in the cabinet but is a joke trophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we achieve this if our defenders, goalkeeper and manager are all shite? This is genuine question. But we also lost 9 drew 9...we only did the double over a handful of teams and our results against top sides wasnt amazing. Sanchez is not great and everyone can see it.. been said time and time again by fans and pundits etc. Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only conceded 2 more than Liverpool. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Colwill available last season and we saw how pissed Maresca was after Colwill got that training ground injury, he kept saying that the CB role Colwill was playing was crucial for his system. Sometimes that is all it takes, one bad injury and the whole defensive line starts to collapse. Also, this season, Sanchez got sent off against United in the first few minutes. As an experienced keeper, he really should know better than leaving his team down to 10 men. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe use your other defenders and have someone who can step into the role even at a reduced capacity. Yes our CBs and GK are weak but you shouldn’t be losing these winnable games over teams we have a massive talent advantage over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you go by that then we should also apply that same criteria to our previous trophy.... In the end you play against who you play. It's not our fault that we played benfica in which they had already eliminated someone else. Or as well that city got eliminated by a Arabian team in which turn lost to the Brazilians. That is who we got to play because the suppose stronger lost to the one we beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maresca is not content with the squad he’s got and was far from behind a lot of the recruitment we did this summer and feels his squad still lacks a lot of key elements in some positions. SPTC sources have heard that there is definite tension between Maresca and the board. We’ve also heard of some tensions between Maresca and Bernardo Cueva, the Technical Analyst at Chelsea. But we aren’t sure at the moment exactly why or how bad. But we know the Chelsea owners and SD’s respect Cueva and have no plans to move him on. And since last season, as I also reported at the time, there are some players within the group who are also not overly warm with Maresca for different reasons. I’ve reported on Cole Palmer before not really being behind Maresca’s ways of wanting the team to play, and Reece James can also be placed in that same category. There are a few other players as well who are just not overly vibing with the head coach. Of course, you will not hear that in public and in players comments on Maresca, this is not something that will be public knowledge, obviously. But there are certainly some issues in this sense and has been for a while. Sources close to Palmer are also annoyed that he has now got a further injury to his groin after playing games last week when he should not have been playing. Palmer is Palmer and obviously he just wants to play, but there is blame pointing towards Maresca for picking him in the Bayern and Manchester United game, with him getting a further groin tear in the United game and now not returning before the next international break, at the VERY earliest by the way. I wont be surprised if he’s still out for a game or two after the break as well. Palmer is also annoyed because he wants to make sure he can play in the World Cup at the end of the season. This again has not become public knowledge but I consider it factual due to how good my Palmer source is. They clearly don’t want to make it seem like a negligent decision to keep playing Palmer, which it absolutely was. The only thing I can imagine is Maresca leaving the club. I've been saying that since last season because, as I said, he's not happy here and there are a few things that bother him. Plus, a lot of clubs are interested in him. (@Simon Phillips) What clubs are interested in him? Just asking out of curiosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
