Chelsea release new kit - not good enough with no sponsor
Chelsea clear out deadwood - not good enough, too slow.
Chelsea sign Jackson - not good enough
Chelsea discussing Caicedo deal with no leaks - not good enough too slow.
Chelsea have 2 sponsors lined up that fall through - not good enough
Chelsea sign emerging talent from South America - not good enough, not first team players
…………………………. OR …………………………………
Chelsea release amazing kit, with great 90’s reference and captivating lead up.
Chelsea manage to halve wage bill, get rid of players who don’t want to be here and clear bloated squad in record time
Nicolas Jackson looks like an exciting player, let’s see how he goes in pre season.
Chelsea being intelligent in the transfer market and don’t want to get into a bidding war.
Chelsea had an unbelievable deal with Paramount lined up but the PL got cold feet, not our fault.
Chelsea finally unearthing young talent that prevents us from having to buy them in 3 years time for 10x the price.
It’s optics. You can choose to kick the club you support, or you can choose to support them and understand context in every situation. Ultimately the choice is yours but this is an new era and it’s time to put the past behind us and try and see the positives that are happening at the moment. New manager, new team and new season ahead.
My Alonso take:
- Alonso is a good manager. Way better than what he is currently showing right now.
- Do we have a right to feel slightly aggrieved? Absolutely. In an ideal world we would have looked more like a team by now.
- Are we at a stage where we need to consider replacing him? Absolutely not.
We need to build something slowly that sticks. We need to finally build solid foundations and sadly, whether we like it or not, that takes time. Some managers can do it quickly, some take more time.
Unless things become catastrophic, Alonso needs 2 years. All the managers that some fans want to replace Alonso with all had time to succeed at their clubs.
Fabregas and Hurlezer, two managers who have been suggested, are both in season 3.
I am not here trying to make excuses for Alonso, he has made some bizarre choices and is overcomplicating things, but as he has said before, the team we see in May will be wildly different to what we are now.
As I have always said, football can change in an instant. Let’s hope this international break we get some of our key players back and Alonso takes a deep dive how to improve things.
At least we aren’t Man U!
Looks like being a Chelsea and Patriots fan just isn’t that fun anymore. FFS! 🤬🤬🤬
Thursday - Patriots very average
Saturday - Chelsea, disgustingly average
Sunday - England Cricket - embarrassing
Good weekend for me.
Even hate watches don’t work. Not sure Man U firing Carrick is going to be good for us next week either. Liverpool and Arsenal in form again. Man City losing was the only glimmer of hope this weekend.
This season is clear to see one of our biggest issues is our defence.
Acheampong has easily been our best defender.
Colwill, Fofana, Lacroix and Hato have all been below par at best.
Palestra and Pep are new and though haven’t been great I am willing to give them more time.
I know this sounds crazy but I don’t think they love defending. Love clean sheets, love putting their body on the line.
We talk about build up play and splitting lines continuously. None of that matters if you get bullied and concede.
Yes our defensive record has improved recently but it’s still nowhere near good enough.
The rollercoaster ride continues. So fed to with these yo yo performances and results. Been happening for years now.
I have never seen “having a week in between games” as some massive positive.
In sport you need confidence and momentum and players thrive on form and confidence.
A week is a long time in football. The only actual positive about having a week off should be that your players are fresh and have less chance than injuries. We seem to be leggy and constantly have players getting injured.
Incredibly frustrating from Alonso. He needs to do better.
Multiple players need to start doing better. Palmer, Rogers and Colwill should be driving this team forward and yet when they are bad, they are awful. Far too inconsistent and soft.
We have an amazing ability to make average teams and average players seem incredible.
Wrong tactics, awful ref and poor performances. Football is a basic game. We don’t do the basics well.
Sunderland winning second balls and has a striker who can hold the ball up and be a menace. Chelsea losing the physical battle and have no one in the box. Football can be very simple sometimes!
Feel like this starting XI will be a good antedote to a loud and nervous Stadium of Light.
Even though Sunderland have been very poor, the last thing you want to do is give them a sniff.
This starting team should provide us with control and a foundation to bring on game changers later in the game.
Would have liked Barco instead of Henderson and a shame about Acheampong. Let’s see how it goes.

No, what you don’t understand is most fans aren’t fools and can spot a fraud from a mile away. Chelsea was always too big a move for you. You weren’t ready and that’s fine to accept.
🚨😳Liam Rosenior: “What I’ve understood now, and this is important for all coaches worldwide, is that social media, or the media in general, can dictate public opinion about the quality of a player or a coach.” [So Foot via @Sport_Witness] sportwitness.co.uk/nothing-t…
What a clown. Even speaking like this is why no one takes you seriously.
🚨 Liam Rosenior on what went wrong at Chelsea:
"Any club would have been happy with such a run, but not Chelsea. You get good results and you’re in the spotlight. Then, there was a kind of snowball effect in the media. They made fun of those instructions I gave Garnacho on a scrap of paper when we were down to 10 men against PSG. The clothes I wore became a joke, the way I spoke too. I’m not a joke! You’re the first people I’m talking to about this, and probably the last for a long time, but one day, I’ll tell you what really happened." 😳

Really hoping Maresca keeps pissing Cherki off. Would be wonderful to see him at Chelsea next year! 💙
Credit where credit is due. Arsenal have not only become the most boring team to watch now, they also have the most unlikeable players, manager and fans. Some feat.
They are defensively brilliant and well coached but my god is it a hard watch. I thought sport was meant to be entertaining.
Very poor moments from Chelsea that half. Gifted all of UTD their chances. Fofana has been a disaster.
Estevao trying too hard and Palmer barely trying at all.
We need a focal point up top to pin Maguire.
Would be nice if the ref gave us something today….
We look so shaky defensively at the moment. Massive half coming up. Need that early goal.

The snaketh doth speak 🐍
Enzo Fernandez: “I want to return to River at some point, I’ve said it several times. I’m going to return, I’m sure. It’s something I really want. I stand by my words and what’s on record. If I say it, it’s because I feel it and know I need to return to win things and enjoy the River Plate world for many more years than I did. Today, I’m here with a long contract at #ManCity. There’s still a long way to go, but it will happen…” [via @gastonedul/@Sport_Witness]

There are some people who actually make sense on this app. This man is definitely one of them! 👌🏼
Our fanbase is by far the worst one on this app in terms of being reactionary. There is absolutely no patience whatsoever from 99% of our fans in here. Never seeing things in isolation, never adding context to things, just pure crashouts and emotional outbursts.
Honest to God, most of our fans deserve starting lineup of Sanchez, Gusto, Disasi, Fofana, Baba Rahman, Garnacho, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Bounanotte & Delap. And let them be managed by Graham Potter.
Cos there is no other way yall will appreciate what you got at home if you dont see dark days like these. I've seen amazing Chelsea, and i've seen terrible Chelsea since i was a kid. And even back then as a kid when we didnt win shit, i was never this reactionary like you guys are on daily bases. 1 game Xabi is a saviour, next one he has to be sacked. I just cant believe how minds of some fans are functioning on this app. Where is critical thinking? Where is trusting a manager who btw has 6 W, 2 D and 3 L's after taking over a new team with so many inconsistencies, injuries and SD's not providing him with best balance needed to lead a team.
I just cant believe the sheep mentality this fanbase has. Who is a new hot name yall would want? Fabregas? Luis? For what? So they can come and be called shit after 10 games also? Level of football knowledge in here is absolutely abysmall. I genuinly cant even believe i have to write this shit seeing all your crashouts and crying on TL like we are absolute dog shit.
We as a fanbase definitely dont deserve nice things. Not only do we put down our players and managers day in, day out. We also support other fanbases who call our players shit. That should be a sacred thing we should never allow. Protect your fucking players, and protect your fucking manager from others.
Show the pride, support your team like it means something and grow up. Football isnt always winning trophies every season. It doesnt work like that, especially in Premier League. Call for standards, absolutely. But crashing out on Emegha for penalty miss? Crashing out on Alonso cos Estevao didnt play? This is all part of football. Its nothing that didnt happen to every single team 100+ times.
Im done with hire & fire at Stamford Bridge. Im done with all the turmoil and chopping and changing. This has to stop. Xabi has my support, and he will find a way for us to become successful. Maybe not in 1 month. Maybe not even in 6. But he will find a way, and we will all be happy we have him time. Trust your manager and trust your team. Even when we go tru difficult periods like this. We will come out stronger from it. UTC 💙
