DDA 9,996 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Not the single bit surprised and why any of you are boggles the mind. Don’t worry though, there are some fans in here who think we are the second coming of Peps Barca. The problems are there for all to see but the owners chose to prioritise future sales over all. Tragic. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 627 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Maresca on Palmer: “It's a problem for a long time for him, his groin. He wanted to play this game, so the effort is huge but after 20 minutes, he decided it was too much.” Enzo Maresca on whether Acheampong was injured: "No, Josh is just because we had Tosin [Adarabioyo], Malo [Gusto] was on the bench also, we had already two defenders, so it was just for that, not for any other reason."

Laylabelle 9,542 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) 2 hours ago, Pizy said: I was seriously excited for this season. I never thought we’d put in a genuine title challenge where we’d be there until the very end but I thought with 100% certainty that we’d finish a respectable 6-9 points behind the eventual champion, comfortably finish in the top 4, and really kick on to build something special for next season. Now I would be STUNNED if we finish higher than 6th. The Colwill injury and subsequent refusal to replace him with a top CB + Sanchez in goal will kill our season within the first handful of games now. Our defense + keeper have produced catastrophic errors in nearly EVERY game so far this season. From extreme optimism to utter calamity in the blink of an eye. If we fail to beat Brighton next I may just give up on the season. I never thought we would not when Liverpool mainly strengthen their squad and also Arsenal. It'll be between those two again. We'll scrape top 4 if that. We havent brought what we needed or anyone can think wow they'll have a impact on the team.. We've been lucky with the defence so far and VAR being around to help us.Fulham shouldve had their goal..and the cracks have been so clear since day one..sad just not seen. Duno if we'll beat Brighton probably a draw but we won't win against Liverpool unless they have some iffy day we dont Edited 9 hours ago by Laylabelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,539 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Went hiking and thankfully missed the game. We got away with ref decisions against Palace and Fulham or else we wouldn’t even be on 8 points right now. This is not so much on Maresca but on the board for turning the club into a player trading vehicle. DDA and Blue Armour 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,539 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Sanchez only banned for 1 is good news - Regardless of the brain fade he’s the best keeper at the club currently Edited 8 hours ago by Strike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I’m not mad at the players or even the bulk of our recruitment. This squad is more than good enough in MOST areas to be performing much better than it has to start the season. I’m starting to get more and more pissed off about Maresca each week. The stupid team selections, where in the formation he plays players, how he decides to rotate, his rationale after games as to why he didn’t play certain players. And most importantly of all, the fact that seemingly EVERY match thus far it feels like we’ve started so fucking sluggishly and only ever begin to look better after we concede. For me that’s on the manager. He doesn’t have this team mentally ready. He has to get a bit of slack because he is being undermined by the fact that the club refused his request for a new CB. But then at the same time he has been in love with Rob Sanchez since he got here and defends him no matter what. Don’t think there’s any chance he gets the sack during the season and tbh that’s not something we need. But if we finish outside of the UCL places he should 100% be replaced once the season ends. It would be completely inexcusable to finish lower than 4th with the squad we have and the money we spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,892 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Chalobah’s post match interview “we are not kids anymore” Not so sure, the mantra that’s been coming out of the club and several players is that the team is young & lacks experience. Maybe a lot of them need to stop thinking like that and act like men. Soft soft soft team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,480 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Not sure how many people noticed Fofana starting to limp towards the end of the game. He's likely not going to shake off that injury liability tag, and the club would be sensible to allow him his preferred move to Marseille. I think he's the main reason the club won't go in for a quality experienced CB to pair with Colwill. Fofana is still first choice, in their heads.

Terrible GK Average CBs Average LWers Thin up top Look at our bench today… utterly uninspiring. This team is set up to fail with the bang average buys. It’s gone too far now. I’m not having it, i wont be supporting this board until they bring in ready made ballers of real top quality. Fuck this backing the ‘project’ to be ‘positive’ Chelsea fans for the sake of being positive. It’s a fucking joke hos these idiots have built this squad. Unforgivable.

It was on Maresca, you sub off two attackers that early in the game (knowing Cole isn't anywhere near 100%), then you throw on George and Gusto when we actually had a chance to have a go at United. At this point, I'm not sure what Maresca is trying to prove by bringing on George off the bench every other game. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be sold because it would be a massive hit to his book value. He got a 7 year contract back in 2022. Transfer was around 70-75 million.

Long contracts are biting them in the butt No wonder they can't move Sterling and a bunch of others Injury crock Fofana is also going to join their dungeon squad. No way does it look like they'll get anywhere close to 70mill for Fofana again. 7 year contact and he's barely featured in 3 seasons. What a joke.

bigbluewillie 1,931 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I turned the game off after 15 mins couldn't stomach anymore. Sunderland fucking Sunderland win today at home to Villa go above us.
