Bournemouth vs Chelsea

[Pizy 19,022]

All this money spent since the takeover and we are still just as desperate for a killer #9 three years into the project. Haven’t had a beast of a striker who strikes fear into defenders since Diego Costa almost a fucking decade ago.

Just let that sink in. A club of Chelsea’s stature and with our resources and we have 4 strikers on our books if you include Jackson who are miles and miles away from being a 20 goal per season guys.

How does that situation improve? None of these look like they even have the potential to become that!

🔴Liam Delap update from Maresca: "He has to be out again. We don't know how long, but it looks quite bad. He has been unlucky." 

That's not good. Even if he can be incompetent at times, we still offers a different type of striking option.

Guiu is good in terms of positioning but I wouldn't trust him to hit a barn door with his shooting.

Not sure what happened to Joao Pedro. He looks so off it. Hopefully Palmer returning can see him return to some sort of form he showed early season.

Liverpool level on points with us during their horror season. Maresca out

i’m looking at your profile picture, i miss those times when we had players who bled for the shirt and fucking cared. Cheers

Those players simply had more footballing IQ.

I dont think that sort of stuff can be coached

Rabona assist whilst we have spent billions to have big liam barrelling into people. We are so far behind

He wouldn't make our bench. Basically Buonanotte.

They only send to us sand in our eyes to shut up us

The striker, wingers, all poor.

I am sure you were one of the ones who said these attackers would’ve warranted a title challenge earlier in the season too, no?

Clearlake/Stewart & Winstanley have no intentions of us competing at the very top it is so clear. Simple as that. You don’t sign Garnacho, Gittens & Delap when your team has been crying out for top GK & CBs for about 5 years. Even when your manager has said about a CB publicly.

The recruitment has been wrong for so many seasons now. The manager also has to be reviewed in the summer because his inflexibility against smaller teams is killing us.  Like you need to be able to see these teams off to give yourself the best chance of competing for titles, dropping points against the likes of Sunderland, Leeds, Bournemouth just undoes any points gained against the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs & whoever.

Tbf his ability was always there but it was the consistency that was a massive concern. Not to mention the fact he was always a luxury player who lacked the bit without the ball. 

People forget he’s went under a big physical transformation at City, shed a lot of weight & has had to buy into Pep’s approach where everyone has to work without the ball. 

I am very doubtful Maresca would’ve gotten that out of him, proof is in the pudding, Cole & Enzo still waltz around as if they don’t have to do their bits without the ball. Not to mention none of the defenders or midfielders seem to want to compete in duels.

However its worked out for Cherki - him going there to Pep, with top top players, in comparison to him coming here - it would’ve been a wrong move. I was 100% convinced us signing him would’ve been a bad move & still stand by it.

Defense has improved. Needs to continue with that defense next games. 

We definitely need a maestro in the mid

To be fair though, we had like 20 CB's on the books and the club can't find 3 half decent ones? 

They could have re-integrated Veiga like they did with Chalobah. 

Instead we have to watch Tosin make mistakes and Josh ride the bench.
