    I’m not having that Mudryk was anything other than money laundering for the Ukrainian government.

    Enzo is something else though. Gallagher would be a good player if his legs weren't 2 steps behind his brain, he's perpetually falling over.

    Frank Lampard has a special talent of making teams attacks look very competent. He has to have the worst PL record of all time in this spell?

    I'm sure Waff is about to point out how it's "all over FT mate", but just seen someone call Mudryk "Chernobale" which made me lol.

    Imagine how fuming Allardyce will be if they hire the Fiorentina manager they’re being linked with, who is literally called ‘Vincenzo Italiano’.

    I really thought we would somehow conspire to balls it up and lose tonight but Wank Lampard is too powerful.

    Wasn't the Shaktar chief exec on the pitch at his Chelsea unveiling celebrating the sale?

    Can someone explain just exactly what has gone wrong at Chelsea this year?

    I know chucking money at this game isn’t a guarantee of success but how can you spend the amounts they have and look so desperately poor? On paper this looks like a pretty great squad with amazing depth. Yet on the pitch they look pathetic. Wide open at the back and look impotent going forward. How?

    I'm sure the resident Chelsea fans know more but supposedly it is a combination of having 3 million players, managerial changes, also Boehly trying to run it like a yank franchise, going into the changing room after losses to bollock them etc.

    When you bring in a lot of players in a short space of time they need consistency and a clear plan to settle. Between Tuchel leaving, the attempt at Potterball and then Super Frank, they've had nothing close to it.

    Forest eventually got it to click, but they didn't try chopping and changing everything.

    And despite all of the money spent, they still don't have an actual striker.

    Potter left them 4/5 points off us/Brighton/Villa so they weren't doing all that bad but then they brought in that hideous cunt Lamps and this is what happens when he's let loose on a team with no prior fixed tactical shape. Wtf does some fat yank have to do with such basic tactical shortcomings

    Hard to believe the players aren't receiving good instructions when Lamps talks with such clarity. Fucking hell, geezer's been chatting for 10 mins and all that came out was "tactics don't mean anything without 'standards'".

    There is no single explanation for us being shit, but the biggest factor is a lack of serious leaders in the dressing room. It's a weak dressing room full of thickos, and that requires a big personality as manager. Tuchel was that but the yanks don't recognise this kind of nuance, they are working off moneyball.xls. Potter is a good coach but a small personality and was doomed by that. Lampard is irrelevant because the season was too far gone by that point and they had all lost interest. I mean, look at Joao Felix. Personality of a wet bun.

    No idea if Poch is the answer. Should be better than this season's managers, but I don't think we'll be any better than maybe 8th next year, we just don't have the players. Granit Xhaka has more leadership in his ballsack than we have in the whole squad.

    Should just about scrape 4th with Ugarte, Caicedo and a striker not named Havertz improving things.

    The size of the squad is an issue in of itself. Not to somehow about Arsenal but I think Arteta got the squad down to like 16 non u18 players by the time we became an actual unit. You can be a leader of men but you can't lead a team that has so many players you have 2 dressing rooms and 3 different training matches going on at once.

    However the team has absolutely reeked of late era Wenger for years now. Has been since 2019 they've felt soft but the demise was coming before that. Went from having these immense midfielders and every player felt like they were 6'2 brick shithouse mentality monsters then one day you blinked and it was Kovacic and Ross Barkley.

    It reads like the sort of earnest shite Scott McTominay or someone would post in the event of Man U not qualifying. Maybe he's gone native.

    From next season I believe.

    Also I think they did a solid 10 years plus without qualifying between when that happened and now.

    He wasn’t involved in any of the games and 90% of them was against Newcastle when he was on loan elsewhere. (For the ones he’s backed against)

    But yeah, I’m surprised he didn’t get longer. Suppose pleading guilty and saying you have an addiction helps. Still don’t get how they can ban him from training lol

    Whenever he shows up on WWE telly he can't even stand up straight so yeah, he's fucked and has been for a long time. I suppose all the injuries and substance abuse will do that.
