Conte, no thanks. Like Jose 18 months then a tantrum and in fighting.

Was going to put an emoticon biut was torn between knowing whether to laugh or cry. We have a ridiculous number of long term injuries, Are Lavia Nkunku and Fofana still on our books!!!!???

Chelsea were well represented in the Europa League quarters this year. Unfortunately our discards. Tomori, Giroud, Pulisisc, Lukaku, loftus Cheek, Tammy, Zappacosta, Pasalic, Salah, Zouma, Emerson, Aubameyang,

Poch lays down the law on pens, as this is not the first time apparantly his law means little.

Looks like a busy summer window coming which means yet another season of players getting used to each other unless the business is all done the day the window opens and they get a full pre season to bond...recent experience says that wont happen.

And i get that. Stats dont tell the how. Without going back far we can consider just the last 3 games. Draws with the bottom 2 who both showed more spirit than us and a win against utd which was probably one of the biggest prison breaks anyone will witness

What a game. Apart from Palmer and Gallagher pretty much all the rest can go and for the first time I include Poch in that. It can not continue this way. The only thing we must practice in training is how to pass badly as we seem to have that perfected.

The negative passing is killing me, if (and a big if) a succesful pass is made its almost always backwards. You expect the basics for players earning 150k pw and that is the ability to pass and if within the area to be able to shoot and at least force a save. There is so much to criticise but solving those 2 would feel like a big win for now and mean we are not hiding behind the sofa so often

They absolutely adore top scorer RLC here in Milan, even made of glass captain america is going great. We also presented them Giroud and Tomori. They have done some great business with us

Cucarella...oh dear

Yes, I could see that as a partnership

Perhaps he would have in his prime, he is too combative and at best a short term solution. He wouldnt do worse but I am not sure he would do much better either. Change for change sake.

Changing manager wont change anything, the problem is the mediocrity Todds Fantasy football brought in. Too many player, too quickly. Nobody else will get a tune until they have more experience and even then many of them may still never develop into good investments.

Every window Todd ignored the need for a CF, it shpuld be no surprise. Had TT got a striker instead of the player fantasy football Todd played we would still have a top coach and top team

What other dregs are left at Brighton for us. Maybe we can sell Cuca and Sanchez back. Maybe also Caicedo who seems to have forgotten how to pass and tackle

Yes, my bad. Players are on the field and missing rather than not selected and missing

That's quite funny as I also though Jackson wasn't on

Why so many changes from the villa game?

Broja negotiations should have started at the begining of the window, our hands were tied by the last hour of the last day. Winter window may as well just be 2 or 3 days long.

No, i just think any manager would struggle with this team. It has been thrown together and I dont believe he had much choice. I think its down to Todd. We spent a billion on what? So much so we were unable to address any problems within FFP of which it seems we may already be in trouble with. I am not fixed on Poch and open to him not being the solution but who do you think would get a better result?

Todds 'scattergun' fantasy football last year has left us naked and now with one less striker. Cant blame Poch, he has nothing to work with.

I am not comparing him to us

Still no offers for Cucurella?

You maybe but when I commented way back I was discussing his success and success for me is trophies and actually winning something

Yes but its trophies in the cabinet that count, same applies to England and Southgate he continues to fail and this year will be no different.
