Lol what a fucking joke Edit: got overturned. He didn't slap him in the face, he pushed him on the shoulder and his arm slid up and he barely touched him
I think he tries to push him in the shoulder and misses and rides up on his face. Regardless he’s an idiot and it’s beyond me while he’s still in this team.
Would've been a normal interaction that happens after a foul without Richaralison acting like it was it was the worst challenge in history and Royal escalating things
Spurs fans being up in arms is hilarious after they got away with 2 yellows earlier in the half and what occured in the reverse fixture
this is the worst of it for me. if it were a fun group struggling to get results, I'd understand, but it's hideous, boring, and everyone seems to have an attitude somehow
The only way Potter gets sacked is if relegation is perceived as a real threat. And by then it might be too late. Lose to Leeds and maybe it becomes real. But maybe Boehly and co think it’s a myth.
If you have two hours to kill, this is about as substantial a review as you'll find of what TT did at Chelsea and just a general look at coaching and a bit of where the club has been tactically and where it (kind of) is today.
No idea on the wages (or even if it’s true) but lol at giving Kante a four year deal. Dude is 32 and has played like 30 games in three seasons.
There were only ever going to be two outcomes to the Kante situation; we don't sign him and he goes somewhere else and has a resurgence that makes us look silly or we re-sign him and his career ends in a continual injury spiral. Four years is fucking absurd.
I say this with only a little malice, but it’d be objectively funny if Chelsea shit canned Potter. And immediately hired a guy who demanded Kante, and then played Kante over Enzo for a year.
goons and livid talking to themselves itt aside, I finally made it through that Tuchel breakdown. Seems pretty pro academy but tough to argue with his damning conclusions.
Seb is mildly psychotic on Twitter (and his Jorginho hate got so exhausting that I just stopped following him) but he’s clearly very smart. I was really struck by all the compromises you have to make, even at a club like Chelsea, both from a training/fitness POV and tactically.
Reece out today with hamstring tightness. Can’t wait to bang my head against the wall for 90 minutes.
Earlier he called for the ball from Badiashile, had every opportunity to receive it, and simply stopped running. After he called for it!
1 goal scored in February. Seems like a tough hill to climb this morning. Only 4 scored in 2023. Just amazing.
Played well the first 25 minutes, not great the rest of the half. Plan looks to be just banging long diagonal balls to Chilwell.
