Sarri is so pointless.

His football.

Anytime the team lose it�s not his football.

We�ll get trounced by Arsenal now because all our good players are injured other than Hazard and he�ll just say.

That wasn�t my football.

Got to question him regarding so many injuries too. Chelsea never get injuries like this.

Looking forward to Lamps next season.

Realistically Hazard is worth at least 10 points. So Chelsea are looking at 60 odd points next season which puts us about 8th.

Absolutely needless to keep Sarri when the writing is clearly on the wall.

No one wants to finish 8th with Pedro, Willian and Giroud as our strike force.

Pulisic will have to sit on the bench for 8 months until he understands his mythical brand of football as will any youths.

Sarri has zero grace. He�ll be booed the moment we get slapped up by Norwich or something

Chelsea need to get on with their ****. Make a ****ing decision on Batshuayi so we can sell Benteke and the big stiff Norwegian idiot. Would ****ing love to see us make a move for Mitrovic, would fit perfectly into our system. If I see Benteke starting the opener for us next season I'll ****ing explode

[Sparked_26]

Chelsea need to let Batshoes go really. I even think Palace could do better.

He’s just not that good.

Another really weird signing.

He could carve out a decent career but tbh I doubt he’ll be as good as prime Villa Benteke.

Did Benteke have a bad injury?

He just dropped off so much.

When he joined Liverpool I felt Chelsea missed out.

Bats doesn’t really have that much ability

Benteke just got mind ****ed by a bad stretch and never got out of it, then got hurt for a while. He's done against top comp imo, but he'd probably shred lower leagues. Some Chinese team wants to buy him for 15 mil but he doesn't want to leave. We need to stuff that ****er in a container and put him on the first ship to Shanghai.

I'd happily take Batshuayi back, just the threat of him going forward opened our offense up immensely. Only hesitancy is that we desperately need a guy that is a threat to go up and get balls on corners and set pieces. Bats plays like it's illegal to use his head. ****er is also flagged offsides at least 5 times a game, no exaggeration.

Mitrovic is my ****ing dream. I honestly, truly believe we finish top 8 if we snag that big Serb and keep the rest of the group together.

Batshuayi is an under appreciated talent. He's a Belgian, Mario Gomez. Now days, you just won't get the clout that the likes of Klose and Gomez did.

Because of Messi and a lesser extent, Ronaldo. People want strikers to be dribblers, passers, target men, aerial threats. etc. etc. all at the same time.

Everything besides the point of playing striker.... score goals.

Case in point Alvaro Morata. He was the "all-around" striker, capable of doing it all. Good frame. Good head on his shoulders.... absolutely the most fair-weather player you will see in the game right now.

Prime Villa Benteke was an aberration. As big of a myth as Prime Newcastle Carrol.

Batshuayi would have had 15+ goals with the way this Sarri team tries to dribble into the net. 8 loose balls, 5 deflections, 1 header, and at least 2 of his own created goals.

Just off deflections alone. batshuayi would pop up and convert at least 3 of those times Hazard hit the post against Watford or was it United?

Where he had like 3-4 clear chances and hit the woodwork each time and every Chelsea player just stood and watched the ball roll away.

That's where Batshuayi thrives.

You can weigh a striker in goals but I just look at Bats and think �Christ, this guy isn�t good at anything!?br />
His movement is actually pretty bad. He�s a bit slow, he can�t really head a ball like Big says although I remember one great header for us,

I remember Kalou got slated at Chelsea but really right now he�d be a stone cold starter. He could do everything Bats can do, more pace and could play wide, behind the striker, or even as a main man.

Chelsea need someone like that again who isn�t a false 9 but can play both positions.

Arnautovic is the only one I can think off. If this was a prime Chelsea we�d have someone like him started half the games and ****ing in 10-15 goals a season.

We defo disagree on Bats to be honest. I�ve just never seen anything there

What a facking shame.. best performance at Old Trafford this season and it's by the United legends.. beating the 99 Bayern Munich team..

God damn Beckham still has it lads.. the guy can make a great pass out of nothing

Sandro and Dybala are great players mate.
If you get both for Pogba id make that trade in a second.

If he's like Tevez I'd kill for that type of player back at United.. granted he did some dodgy stuff of the field.. but on the field the guy gave his all every game.. didn't stop running

[MOTHERDUCKER]

I feel like Chelsea are in a similar boat to United at the moment.. barely feels like it was 10 years ago.. they had great players in almost every position..

Cech.. Cole.. Gallas/Carvahllo.. Terry.. Ferrera.. Makele.. Lampard.. Malouda.. Drogba.. Kalou Anelka etc..

You can argue about the right back.. but that was on of the best back 5s ever imo.. at least in recent memory..

Don't see much talk of him here but Malouda was a guy I worried about as a United fan.. Very Underated

Now days I see only Hazard but even he is hot and cold.. just like Pogba.. rest of the players would be "squad" players 10 years ago.. Just like at United currently

Bats has talent, he's just wasting it away by not taking things seriously.

Its a skill to be in the right place, right time, and convert even the half chances.

That's what Bats greatest skill.


Side note:
Newcastle about to be taken into UAE state funding. Things might get shaken up now.

Big ups to Villa getting back into the Prem.
