I'm glad Manchester United are starting to come back down to earth. They were riding that new manager wave hard, to the point of s.hiting on their own legends.
Chelsea are in a weird spot but it has the feel of something that will be envious in 5 years.
Or I could be wrong. We'll buy Nkunku and put him on the wing. We aren't keeping Joao Felix. He's rented, if he does well, he goes back to Spain plain and simple. He does Morata level and he'll still go back to Spain because why would he want to be at Chelsea and be s/hit when he can be in Spain with warm weather and better food... and be s.hit?
If Boehly really had stones on him.
He'd recall Lukaku.
Show some mettle and recall him. Put him smack middle and just inshallah.Last edited by F l i c k e r; 02-08-2023, 06:22 PM.

Gooooooaaal!
Tbf the next manager will be excited about this team. No Graham obviously.
Man is cursed.
Cucurella is an awful little player.
Current form? might be better than him, tbh.
Defo rather have a go than him, lol.
to be fair to him something is clearly up with him. It isn't even that he's a bad defender. I mean HE IS a bad defender. It is the execution of basic skills. Such as clearing his feet properly with his first touch. Seeing any pass that isn't a 5-10 yard pass going backwards.
Based on what he's shown though. In my 30 years watching them he is the worst player we have ever had.
Headless chicken. Lack of basic ability.
Maybe he needs a break. Rediscover how to play football.Last edited by Sparked_26; 02-11-2023, 08:30 AM.

Have to figure. He was a small club coach, not used to winning, not used to pressure. He simply nailed the interview after lying on a resume and got the job.
Also, I'm with you on Cucurella.
I've been saying it for a while but he's **** average. **** **** **** **** **** average. I don't see him being anything beyond it...
and Tuchel went and made him one of the most expensive defenders in history.

Felix was in conversation with him just telling him clearly to look forward. Cucurella looked really stressed.
It must be an issue that they are trying to address but he has the football version of the yips. He shouldn't be playing.
give him preseason under the new manager (there is simply no way Potter isn't in effect sacked already. I don't care what the noises are. Potter is that relaxed. Likely told or aware already that they plan on replacing him. Likely an accounting or availability issue.). See if he can become a competent back up.
Apart from Cucu's poor positioning for the goal he actually lost the ball in our third of the pitch because there was no pass in Badiashille.
I saw one of those graphics with the arrows that indicate passing routes. Thickness describing the number of those passes made. The thickest of all was Cucu back to Badiashille the thinnest was Cucu into Mudryk and Felix.
I don't know if it would have been better if we had 10 men but maybe.
If he has an off the field issue then Potter playing him is a disgrace. He's lost all resale value but more importantly what about the man himself? Gets booed off the pitch every week (which is scummy the way).
For all I moan here! you can whinge from the couch not from the stands.
Cucurella knows he's been awful ffs. On form there cant be a worse performing left back at professional level in Europe. That's how bad he's been.
But don't boo him.
I'd be giving him stress leave.Last edited by Sparked_26; 02-11-2023, 06:28 PM.
