lluubbeenn 185 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Friday night at the Bridge. Let's get the 3 point and kick start our season. I don't care who starts and what is the formation I only want them 3 points and completely trust in Poch. Up the Chels! Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,823 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 We just need to start building consistency. West Ham showed we are not there yet, but this run of games can really help. Please, no more back three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Sanchez,Gusto,Silva,Colwill,Chilwell,Enzo,Caicedo,Santos,Sterling,Jackson,Maatsen or Noni would be my team in a 4-3-3 formation. Although Sterling been good at RW tempted to switch him to LW where he can be more of a goal threat.if so play Noni at RW,if not Maatsen on LW.Save the more drastic changes for Wimbledon.need to get that first W in the bag.

Laylabelle 9,540 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hopefully we can finally get a win going or it looks similar to last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 If we don’t win this we can just stop close the men’s seniority team. No matter how shit the ref will be or if they luck in 3 deflected goals. We have to beat them. They are by far the worst team in the league. Our squad is worth 10x theirs. Absolutely no excuses. Poch said, performances are more important than results at this point but not winning here would crush the confidence of this young fragile group for months. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,384 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Jackson needs to get on the scoresheet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,477 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Jackson getting off the mark will help this team. Not sure from where else a steady return of goals are going to come from with Nkunku (and James) out injured, so we need Jackson in some kind of scoring form.

We got rid of title winning experience and replaced it with kids. Not that I shed a tear for mount and Havertz. But having a hard worker like Kante, a smart tactician like Joeginho or a serial winner like Kovacic around at least you can help a young player Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain the logic here, how can you call actual CL winners, "the biggest bunch of losers in Chelsea history." Wouldn't that statement be factually incorrect? note that I'm not discussing whether you must like the players or not, just what they actually achieved.

Just a random run of destiny, u cant explain it. Not even Chelsea fans thought its possible before the season started. They didnt perform before that and didnt perform after that. Not a single one of this team is actually performing well elsewhere atm. The lack of character this team showed last season is unprecedented and unforgivable. They didnt even try. They didnt care about this club whatsoever, not a bit. Lowest league position in the last 30 years and they seemed ok with that. If u consider the amount of money they cost and earned they actually ARE the biggest losers in Chelsea history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante was perpetually injured after we won the CL. We should have sold him that summer and bought Tchouameni, like I was begging the team to do. We would have had Tchouameni plus a net £20m or so. I was just beside myself when we did neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the midfield situation was one of the many big sins of the Roman/Marina regime in their last 3 years at this club. Bought no midfielder in 20/21 and loaned Saul in 21/22 instead of rejuvenating the midfield properly. Edited August 22, 2023 by Gundalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u consider the amount of money they cost and earned they actually ARE the biggest losers in Chelsea history. Sorry, but none of that matters. It's wrong to call actual winners, losers. If you call them "the biggest bunch of losers in Chelsea history." then what would you call the players who never won a thing, which are most players really? Players go through long careers winning little to nothing, and never get close to a CL win. They've won! like it or not, that's factual... the silverware is in Chelsea's trophy room. The rest is just your opinion about 4-5 starters of a team who won big and did not quite scrape wins like prior teams did. They did not suffer as other teams did. Also played the best there was in that run and beat them all. It does not matter what they did in other competitions... why should it?! I personally have tremendous respect for winners; even players who I personally dislike for one reason of another. "Not a single one of this team is actually performing well elsewhere atm." way too soon for that opinion. They've just left and some are fairly young. Kovacic and Kai are yet to TIE a game, but whatever. 😅 Blue Armour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past achievements dont prevent u from being a loser in the present and future. Nothing can sugar coat the fact that a post Roman-entry Chelsea finished 12th. They might have been winners in the past, but are definitely losers in the present. I cant think of a bigger L in last 30 years of this club. Can u? Also your comparing individual performances to team results. Havertz didnt contribute to Arsenals wins at all. But funny how u say its still early days and we should wait and see while u seem very negative about our current team. Doesnt seem like your willing to give them some time as well. Maybe they will be CL winners as well in a few years? Edited August 22, 2023 by Gundalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
