Chelsea 0-1 Nottm Forest

[Pizy 18,877]

Is a single journalist actually going to do their job and ask the question to Poch about why he is playing this turgid system? How the fuck have we not heard his reasoning yet? He played a 4-2-3-1 at Spuds for years, he played a back 4 all preseason which the players took well to, and then goes completely away from it. Why?! Ask him why, you useless fucks!

If we come back from the break and see it again I’m done watching for a while.

We are just giving advantage for the rest of the league until we will win 30 games in a row...

Broja ‘ s one elite attribute was his pace and that is now gone with his ACL (or rather with his hamstring tendon that they transplanted there) . just look at how slow chilly has become after his ACL surgery 

I did not expect some crazy goalscoring season. Or anything special at all.  But this shit show is far below even my modest expectations . It is as if the new management has completely ripped out all heart& soul of this club and killed its mentality. We are now stuck with a bunch of overpriced talented losers with their confidence wiped and the worst possible manager to do something about it. 

Well said and i agree with everything. 
 
One thing i cant get my head around is that i would see some kind of logics behind the project if we played blasting attacking football trying to develop our young players and sometimes concede stupid goals and lose a game here or there because we lack experience. But watching this defensive and 3atb approach to all games is so illogical with the amount of attacking players we have bought. 
 
It just doesnt make sense. Wtf is going on?

Yeah its getting to that point where I won't bother watching. Much like last season when we saw that horrid Havertz/Gallagher/Sterling front three.

I don’t think so. Can easily see us being mid table for the next 5 years or beyond. Maybe Todd will at some point take the L and just sell us to someone with a plan or some players will emerge stronger out of this prolonged hell but there is no guarantee. We might well be finished fas a top club for decades .
There are just no competent leaders at this club with very few exceptions. Newbie squad, newbie board, clueless managers and the only proven winners on their last leg. Everything else is just here based on luck, circumstance and a couple of decent games but on a mission to collect everything pay check of an insane 8 years contract 

So long as the club's valuation goes up (which it will with the number of assets at our disposal) then Boehly is satisfied. He will then sell at an enormous profit in 2032. 

Silverware is an afterthought for our owners.

Boehly will go to prison.

Can remember the days when teams were afraid to play at the bridge. 99.99% chances to lose the game....

Joke of a club at the moment. Even spurs are better to watch than us. Most clubs are. Boring football. No goals. (O we can score vs Luton yay!!) Fucking joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If another club did what we did we would be taking the piss out of them.

[milka 3,391]

The old Chelsea is gone with Roman.

Now we are an academy for footballers that we will develop and eventually sell , if someone of them will become a decent footballer from all the Brazilians who were bought and sent on loan.
What exactly is the project of Boehly and co with these ''talents'' players on low wages?
  City have a project,  they takes only the best and win title after title.

We are chaos but we speaking about ''project'' .

One lavia comes in, gallagher needs to be benched permanently...cost us the goal and the game

We should score at least 3 in a game like that, especialy with Poch kind of manager. 

But we are shite front and back.

The club has no idea how to adress anything, just throwing cash to see what sticks and despite 1b spent, no actual quality in this team bar Thiago, Enzo, Chilwell and James. Jury is out on Nkunku who is injured atm. Jackson and Colwill are nice talents also. Bar that everyone else is subpar and needs to step up big big time, including Caicedo and soon to start Lavia.

But with GK like that, Disasi in first 11 who is nothing more than backup and again, 1B spent and we dont have a single player that can score we aint winning shit. 

Biggest issue is that we are replacing everything at once and have no patience and no board that can handle that kind of transition. 

I remember pool was bad when Klopp came and took awhile, BUT they didnt spend billion on shit players and they played nice attacking football.

It’s just insanity that we played one system all preseason, looked promising doing so,  and then just completely switched the second the real thing started and not looked back. Is that ALL because of the injury to Nkunku? Seriously, how the fuck do you explain this?

 

I thought it was because of our midfield situation, but now that we have played two games in a row with 3 at the back against relatively easy opponents at home with both Enzo and Caicedo starting, I don't know... If it is about Nkunku, then scrapping your system and going full defensive just because one of your attackers is out is pretty retarded imo. My final hope is that we will revert to 4 atb once Lavia is fit...

The last time we played good solid footie with 3 atb was when Rüdiger was still here. He acted as an extra midfielder to devastating effect, none of our current CBs are capable of running the show in that system like he did.

[Pizy 18,877]

I really did have genuine belief that we would bounce straight back up to at least competing for 4th this season. But it looks like another season of pain is on the way and it’ll be another season out of Europe next time around. This rebuild is going to take a while.

What’s most gutting is that several of our rivals have or are currently going through their own rebuilds but have hit the ground running instantly. United finished in the wilderness 2 years ago and bounced straight back up to finish 3rd. Newcastle turned into a genuine top 4 threat virtually overnight. And now even fucking Spuds have completely changed their team and look transformed.

Then there’s us. On paper we are PACKED with talent none of those clubs I named have at their disposal. But none of that quality is concentrated in the most important area: a fucking goal scorer.

We might sadly have an Arteta like rebuild where it takes a couple of years of pain and mediocre finishes with flashes of promise before eventually exploding in year 3. But there’s no way we’d have the patience for that considering the money we’ve spent. And tbf, it shouldn’t take that long with these players.

That’s is some seriously speculative business plan tho. We don’t buy assets that are value for money. We buy them at huge premiums and their market value will go to 0 if we continue this trajectory.
