DDA 9,938 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 By the way, I'm not surprised by Chukwamekas classy showings in the first two games. Anyone with half a brain could see he has it last season and can't understand for the life of me why he wasn't playing under Potch or Lamps. Gutted he's injured.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Mudryk and Madueke may have been mistakes but you can't blame Poch for using them, not this early in the season (btw the Mirror is right about Pulisic being better than Mudryk). The big issue was the team had no strengths to last the one and a half hour. It produced a false image West Ham parking the bus and then left with ten men - the Chelsea players were tired in the second half. We were never going to score. It could have ended in a 1-1 draw but we were never going to score a goal. Edited August 21, 2023 by cosmicway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gundalf 806 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) The most important thing is to not lose our heads and not starting to panic. I still remember that horrific start into the 2016/17 season. 2 extremely lucky wins against West Ham and Watford, a draw against Swansea, a loss against Liverpool and a horrific loss against Arsenal, the season looked so done after that..and the rest is history. Just some quotes after that Arsenal loss and how the mood here was: LOL Conte looks done. Maybe he knows the axe will hit him tonight? The amount of space that Arsenal players are getting is hilarious. Our team is all over the place You lost me Conte. From having high hopes of you to want you to be sacked in a month. Bravo. It's like we are stuck in a never ending nightmare. Cech, KDB, Lukaku. And ee have to settle for these cunts Look at those subs. What the kind of formation is that? This easily the most clueless manager I have ever seen. This some people here expect something else with these players from last year? Yes Conte makes mistakes but come on, Mourinho failed with these players, Conte aswell atm and Pep would also fail with them. Conte cant start benching the whole team because we have nobody else that can play. Too bad. This was 6 games into the season. We ended up with 93 points. There is still so much room and time to improve. Let's keep pushing. Edited August 21, 2023 by Gundalf Fernando and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolutionized European football bringing that system back from the 90ies but with flying wingbacks and no.10s But it worked bc it aught everyone by surprise and gave Costa and Hazard all the attacking freedom they needed. we still have not shirked but it’s holding us back as but we don’t have elite attackers anymore. Maybe Poch has something in his locker too but I doubt our team of kids could do anything with it. Amad_diallo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea draw was 2nd Moutinho year - the Eva incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said at the beginning it was going to take time, and if we could finish at least 6th and have a decent run in a cup possibly win one the it would be a decent season. I don't like losing to any one especially wet spam. But get real ffs all new players and manager, the players need to get to know each other as does the manager. I don't know what you are expecting, but two games into a season and you're slaughtering everyone, you've got to give it time it aint gonna happen overnight. If you're not prepared to do that and lower your expectations to a realistic level then you're going to be disappointed for the whole season at least.
