Everyone at Chelsea…OUT
I’ll send this in just once, because I feel like I’ll need to after every game.
Boehly out. Clearlake out. Lawrence Stewart out. Paul Winstanley out. Lampard out.
Chelsea are done as a club while all these people are involved. We are finished competitively for years to come. If Arsenal could fall from grace for 20 years with one of the best managers the Premeir League has seen at the helm for most of that time, then what the hell awaits this cesspool of a club?
Will. CFC.
So the “New Manager Bounce” at Chelsea is looking far more like its “Dead Cat” brethren at this point.
The absolute pointlessness of the Lampardian succession is surely highlighted by a complete tactical cluelessness against Real Madrid, as well as the insipid performance against Brighton both of which Graham Potter would surely have had more success with.

Workrate: Few in our team work as hard as him. Even more impressive is his ability to pinch the ball of unassuming opponents. He made two good tackles on Sunday. It shocks me how poor most of our midfielders are at tackling. The likes of Fabinho, Milner,Thiago barely make clean tackles and are booked most of the time but Bobby tackles like a pro.
Skillset: Henderson plays because of his ‘legs’ but is getting older, slower and ineffective. Thiago has no ‘legs’ but is good on the ball(press resistant). Firmino would offer both traits while still being a threat going forward. He links play really well and still has the ability to drag markers out of position which he did within seconds of coming on leading to a chance for Nunez. And of course he’ll add the goal threat that our midfield severely lacks.
Obviously it won’t happen as Bobby is leaving at the end of the season but after seeing the ‘success’ of other forwards being pushed backwards i.e…
