Chelsea 2022-2023: America... fuck yeah?

[ztejas 43412]

Wtf are we wearing.

[MoJames 8244]

Mudryk is driving me nuts. So many poor passes and touches.

[Horny Bull 2759]

You’re allowed to score 3 goals in a single game?

Your club looks like shit for an extended stretch. The manager is questioned. The ownership is questioned.

You win a massive game to advance in the Champion's league. 

You steady the ship with a 1-0, 3 points at home in the PL.

Then, in the next game, you're up 2-1 late and sub on Christian Pulisic. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Koulibaly costs us 2 points. Neat.

[ztejas 43412]

At least 11 points out of 4th with 11 matches to play. Really can't be losing games at home. 

[TexArcher 37770]

7 minutes in, and it should be 2-1 Chelsea.  Defending is for the top half of the table.

[ztejas 43412]

I think that's the worst thing I've seen Cucurella do in a Chelsea shirt. 

[TexArcher 37770]

Okay, lads, pretty good effort.  Only down a goal and still have a chance to steal a point from Aston Villa at home.  Blue is the colour!!

[InkaUtexas 25874]

Fuck this...... 

[TexArcher 37770]

Welp, good try.  I was probably asking for too much.  You can't expect to beat the #11 side in the EPL just because you spent Spain's GDP on players.  Winning is hard.  I hate football anyway.

If it makes you feel any better these matches don't really matter. We aren't catching the 4th spot and we aren't getting relegated. I think we qualify for Europa through CL already?

Yes, fair enough, but it would be encouraging if these guys started to look like they've known each other longer than the last hour.

I agree. The club has overall felt soulless and disinterested since Roman left. Not sure what the answer is. I don't think Potter is a bad manager. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

What a shitshow 

 

[KennyPowders 331]

Nags is terrible. You should hope you don’t bring him in. 
 

he tinkers and tries to create some sort of identity that doesn’t work at top tier clubs. You can’t sub off and change the formation every week at the top level.

 

he’s a great mid table coach for someone trying to punch above their weight.

I guess you should hire him them, that is what you are without Russian Oligarch blood money.

Imagine trolling the Chelsea thread where none of us really give a fuck to begin with.

We're going to hire Pochettino, win the CL with him this year, and win a bunch more trophies with him over the next few years.  All the while, Spurs A&M will be running through managers and winning zero trophies.  It's the best story, so it will happen. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

We are so much better with Kante, and he's playing like he's angry he was out for so long.  But we still can't finish.  We should be up 2-0.  

[MoJames 8244]

 

[ztejas 43412]

I don't understand the point of canning Potter if we're going to bring in an interim until we hire someone else. We aren't playing for anything in the PL and were actually doing pretty well in the CL under GP. 

I mean how many fucking managers do these players need to go through? 

[InkaUtexas 25874]

I am ok with that. Bring some stability. Season sucks no matter what. 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

I mean, I guess we could score under Frank.  It'll be interesting seeing the swing from a bunch of 0-0/0-1 games to 3-2/4-3 games.  

[APMP 688]

Can you imagine if Frank leads us to a Champions League victory? We should be HEAVY underdogs the rest of the way, but it would be freaking hilarious if it happened...

Frankie is gonna end up managing Chelsea 11 times for 14 total years.

But who else we gonna get for the next few weeks?  Welcome back, again, Super Frank.  Talk some sense into these lads, can ya?

[APMP 688]

Basically, except we hadn't sacked RDM before.

I love Lampard...and I hate that he wasn't ready before...but I think he's still not yet ready.  Any sort of uptick in form (especially this scenario above) would put him in the mix for next season...and I'm not ready to see him fail here again. 

[ztejas 43412]

This club is a mess. Cucurella is a fucking joke and just straight up not a PL quality player. There's no discernable vision or direction.

[TexArcher 37770]

BHA should be embarrassed to have only scored twice on their 314 shots today.

[ztejas 43412]

We fucking suuuuuuck.

This Lampard shit was another retarded decision in a long list of them. He's just going to furrher fuck up the clubhouse.

[trza-hawk 269]

People like to watch Nascar races and cheer when the cars crash into each other, people slow down and stare at car crashes when they drive by, there is a kind of pleasure from looking at a complete wrecked train of an organization.

[MoJames 8244]

Season of absolute failure.

[ztejas 43412]

I've been busy with work but I forgot we were even playing today. 

Gonna be a fun offseason.

You'll be happy to know Pulisic didn't make one mistake.

I barely even care how CP plays anymore. Everyone on this team plays like shit anyway. He needs a change of scenery - for both him and the national team. And he isn't invaluable to Chelsea. 

[The Dog 44019]

I don’t care for Chelsea but…ouch:

 

[ztejas 43412]

Holy fucking shit this is incredible how bad it is. 

Is Arsenal paying Cucurella under the table?

 

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

Azpi back in the starting lineup for our meaningless game against Brentford today.  This may be one of the last times we get to see him play in a Chelsea kit.  

[ztejas 43412]

I think they should just burn down Stamford Bridge and put in some mixed-use development. 

[RichUT 1832]

Azpi back in the starting lineup for our meaningless game against Brentford today.  This may be one of the last times we get to see him play in a Chelsea kit.  

But at least he scored?

[MoJames 8244]

Somehow missed this, but we signed a 15 year old that will join the team in three years.

So no worries guys, that'll fix this.

Scenes today from training.

Huh, we won a game. Weird.
