No it is because the players Poch preferred are injured, and players like Cucu, Noni, Chalobah who have been superb in the last couple of games were not prioritized throughout the season. It is quite evident that we struggled this season is mostly due to Poch incompetence and preference for players that was detrimental to our season. 

 

Because you need to try players. It will be the same with a new manager he needs to try these players. 

At least by now Poch knows who is who and what we need to fix.

Cucu and Noni have had some lean patches this season. For Cucu, especially defensively he was suspect in so many games earlier on in the season. Poch isn't the ideal manager but it is going to be setting this squad back if they replace him. I don't trust the board to get the right manager in either - not a whole lot of options. Amorim, Flick, etc. I'd rather go another year with Poch having a full squad before deciding on the managerial change.

If he stays I'd love to see an all or nothing Amazon docu on the squad next season, it really must must must be a season of growth into fruition. 

Watching the Germany one with Hansi now, decent watch.

Even if the club did make a change, how do we know that Amorim would come in and instantly make this side better?    It's interesting how all the stats were pointing to Alonso/Amorim taking over Liverpool and Liverpool interviewed Amorim and yet they chose Slot...

The club would be better off getting in a proper medical team to assess the concerns of Nkunku/Lavia/James/Fofana.    If we can get all of those guys fit to play at least some part of next season, that will help massively with our lack of technical quality all over the pitch!

Our best games this season are without Enzo because he is lazy. The team have balance and chemistry with Caicedo and Gallagher .
Bottlechino knows this, but because the Argentinian is a starboy of Clownlake, there is no way to leave him on the bench.
Enzo is player more for La Liga or Calcio Italia

The team has balance because of Cucurella and Caicedo. Gallagher can still hound for the ball without jeopardizing the space he leaves. We saw in preseason Poch loved to have cover in midfield but then he just completely abandoned it and profiled Caicedo as this lone DM. 

Enzo covers a lot of ground so calling him lazy is wrong. Not to mention he's been playing with a hernia issue since November. 

[TheHulk 2,404]

Part of the injuries were because of his shit trainings. If he doesn't get Europa League bin him asap.

Mauricio Pochettino suggests he could decide to leave Chelsea: ‘Maybe we are not happy’

https://theathletic.com/5484061/2024/05/10/mauricio-pochettino-Chelsea-future/

Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that he could leave Chelsea of his own accord this summer rather than the club deciding to sack him.

The future of Pochettino, 52, has been the source of increasing scrutiny with the head coach admitting recently that he has not spoken to the co-owners for a few months.

The Argentine has just one year left on his contract with the option for another 12 months. This week, Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly appeared to back him publicly by talking about ‘beautiful football’ and the project coming together in recent weeks.

Pochettino has also revealed he has started working on plans for pre-season and the next campaign. However, when pushed by The Athletic to confirm this was a sign he was definitely going to be at Stamford Bridge for the 2024-25 season, he refused to do so.

GO DEEPER

Mauricio Pochettino - should the Chelsea head coach stay or go?

He said: “Look, it is not important. The most important thing is to keep going working if we are all happy, not only the owners happy with us, the sporting directors with us, or us with the organisation the club is building here because then we are all under assessment.

“If we are happy, perfect. But it is not only if the owner are happy or the sporting directors are happy. If we are happy, you need to ask also because we said ‘look maybe we are not happy with certain situations and maybe we are not happy and we need to split.’ It is not going to be the first time that a coaching staff decide at the end of the season not to keep going.

“There are two parts who can take a decision. It is not only because Chelsea are not happy, the owners are not happy, the sporting directors are not happy, maybe we are not happy because we arrived here with some job to do but in the end it has not happened what we expect. Maybe we are not happy.

“I don’t say that I am not happy but always it is lacking one side. Maybe the other side say ‘OK, maybe until here’ and we split. It is not a problem. It is not going to be the end of the world.”

Chelsea go into their match at Nottingham Forest on Saturday sitting in seventh place in the Premier League, their highest position this term.

GO DEEPER

Chelsea may have spent £1bn - but how much of that have they seen on the pitch?

Past few weeks it’s been sounding like owners have already made their decision and are giving him the cold shoulder.

some tough decisions to make this summer about poch, gallagher and chalobah 

sometimes I think its better to sell both and hired another coach but other times I think the opposite 

the fact is that the club need to sell but if we can offload lukaku and kepa, alongside maattsen and hall and probably we dont need to sell them 

[King Kante 1,643]

Poch must be breathing a sigh of relief today.

If that Villa game last night ended 3-1 we would've only been six points off 4th if we had seen out the Burnley and Sheffield games, with only a 4 goal differential. Personally, I see Villa losing to Palace and Spurs not beating City. If that had happened it would've raised quite a few questions imo if we now beat Brighton and Bournemouth.

Trevs been our best CB this season, so selling him is madness. As for Conor, I really don't see how giving him a new contract is going to be so bad, as there will always be a buyer for him and he is one a only a few players we've got that have proven they can stay fit.

I'm not believing any of these finance people outside of those working at the club. The club denied selling the training ground. 

Fact is these people can view the club's accounts and make assumptions but that is just it, assumptions. They don't know the full details. You have wankstains like Stefan Borson or SwissRamble now coming out apologising admitting it’s not as clear cut as they had thought.

75 goals scored in PL this season. 

Conte title aside most in the last 14 seasons since Carlo. And one game left. 

Last season we scored 38. We double it. And some say Havertz, Mount, Pulisic are better than our young lads. 

From 44 points 👉 to 60 or 61 most likely 63.

Position 12 --> 6

What a job by Mr. Poch!

Cooking 🍳 👩‍🍳 

Not to mention injuries. Next season we go over 80 points. Only Arsenal and City finishing over us is acceptable. 

Also genius project by Boehly and Co. Ahead of it's time.

New contract and increase salary?
