Chelsea FC- News, Developments & Season

[balo]

Ugochukwu steps in for sick Caicedo. Enzo is out as well due to illness (hernia).

[balo]

[balo]

Lavia is getting closer to a debut for Chelsea

[balo]

Broja has had a chance to score. Did not even get a shot away.

[Bigpokey24]

Nico JAckson is not a footballer. I cannot wait for him to head to AFCON . Positives for me, Petrov is a better ball playing goalie compared to Sanchez. He hasn't been tested yet, but he never panics

[balo]

Both strikers are terrible. Wasting chances upon chances.

[balo]

Jeez. Sterling could not score a 1 v 1.

Dang!

[balo]

[balo]

And Jackson

[Bigpokey24]

For me Jackson plays for the opposition

[balo]

Now Wolves are going for it. A team that should have been buried in the first half.

[balo]

Wolves have scored. Lemina

[balo]

Chelsea is really comical. Now it's Desasi playing like he got his mind on Xmas rice instead of being on the field.

[Bigpokey24]

Get Jackson off now

[Bigpokey24]

Lavia?

[balo]

Broja off for Nkunku.
Ugo off for Murdryk.

[balo]

So Jackson is stupid at carrying out his duties, and he adds dissent to it?

[balo]

Nkunku is barely on the field, and he already had a half-shot that was almost a goal.

[balo]

[balo]

Nkunku scores.

2 - 1

[Coach]

Goodness gracious. How far has Mauricio Pochachocolate fallen? Looking every bit a Man Utd manager now. Is this any better than Graham “not so Harry” Potter? With the players at his disposal, there’s no excuse. The starting lineup, Broja and Jackson, surely by now MP would know it’s not 9-a side over Xmas.

Tactically, it makes no sense. Has it ever this season? What is the actual strategy? At this rate, would come as no surprise if he’s thrown into the hunger games vs Eric the Wreck. Two should be doing far better coaches, destroying their reputations. Shocking.

I don't know what Poch and other directors are seeing. Even if Chelsea had Haaland, they will struggle to score. Since Fabregas left, they have cleared out every midfielder that had a brain and foresight to release the ball early. So the strikers run aimlessly all over the place and soon become stagnant. Callagher is the culprit...for whatever reason, he thinks he is Xavi on steroids. And that's reinforced with the captain band given to him. Sterling feels he must run with the ball first before looking for the open pass.

For Chelsea to advance, they need an intelligent midfield. Obviously, Jackson is a poor striker..but with a more robust midfield, his flaws will not be this obvious.

The major issue with the team are the Center backs, they constantly pass the ball between themselves and they are so slow, back passes, sideways passes etc. One of the major issue with the team is Enzo , he is a pure waste, another useless player is Jackson

The positives so far this season are Callagher and Palmer. Conor has been the only hard working midfielder who never shields away from the ball. We cannot say the same thing for the pathetic trash called Enzo. For me he is a waste of money , never takes ownership of the midfield, and has zero clue on positional awareness . One of the worst purchases ever. I cannot stand him playing for Chelsea , when i compare the past CMs, DMs CAMs etc. I wish they can get rid of him , but guess what he is on a 10 year contract. I am still searching for a game he controlled the midfield and Chelsea won. Since he singed Chelsea has won less.

Also Poch is pathetic , he still cannot figure out how to overcome a low block.

Callagher? Brawl, no brain. The sooner Chelsea does away with the likes of Callagher and get a brainy midfielder, the better.
Enzo is actually a very intelligent player who is likely being played out of position for Gallagher.

This is a pretty useless set of stats. For starters, the sample size is the Chelsea squad. So you expect Sanchez to top the number of interceptions?

[Bigpokey24]

Pochetino will soon receive the vote of confidence soo. Bobo is looking so clueless less . 4th straight away loss
