    Thank God that damn world cup is over and we can get back to Chelsea losing again.


    Though if we don't beat Bournemouth the rest of the season will be very bleak.

    I'm bracing for a bleak one - we're a long way off .

    That was a hard watch, very sterile performance offering nothing up front. Nothing on the right to offer without james. Pulisic not at it. Cucurella doesn’t give any real threat in the opposition half, Alonso was far better. Potter’s football is genuinely dull..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    Genuinely nothing football with the same win/loss consistency we love.

    Hard to see where we get anything out of this campaign.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    What do we reckon for tonight. Is Potter done if we lose or will he be givem the benefit of the doubt with it being City?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,537 ✭✭✭RichT


    I'm normally 'Glass half full' kind of guy.

    Tonight for one night only I'm a 'glass is half empty' kind of guy......


    Hope I'm wrong!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    Approaching the half way point of the season and we are 10th, 10th!!!!!

    Why did we sack Tuchel again because there's been no indication that sacking him and hiring Potter has been justified.

    RIP Luka Vialli loved him at Chelsea cool guy.


    Sad day



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,604 ✭✭✭grumpymunster


    We sacked TT as we are owned by an American who has no idea at all about football.

    Nothing against Potter comes across as a really nice person but Boehly clearly has absolutely no idea at all what he is doing. May work in the long term but the next few years will be barren.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    Ah shite!

    Cool guy and was with us for some of the glory with Di Matteo, Zola and Gullit!

    Well that was when Chelsea had no history


    **** cancer 😔

    Struggled to string two passes together all day. Piss Poor



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,993 ✭✭✭✭Panthro


    We're absolutely pathetic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    Would of hoped for some sort of desire to get a sort of revenge on City but instead we just get no desire.

    Not sure how Potter will manage to talk this one up post match, absolutely nothing positive about it and will just heap pressure on him.

    I would like to give him time as I hate to be an '(insert manager name) out!' kind of supporter but there just hasn't been anything at all to suggest this is going to come good at some stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Sandor Clegane


    It was such a huge and needless risk to take Potter on, Tuchel was a good, proven manager and we changed him for nothing really, yeah things weren't great at the time of his sacking but we've gone from bad to worse since Potter came in, yes you can point to the injury problems we've been having but the truth is there is still a fair bit of quality in that squad and it definitely should be performing much better.

    That being said he's here now so I personally think we should stick with him, but the really worrying thing was the attitude, that was a genuinely pathetic effort today and that is a really worrying sign, when a manager cant motivate his players, or get them to buy into his vision then the end isn't too far away the fans are also turning against him, it really could go either way, It wouldn't surprise me in the least to hear he's been sacked.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,262 ✭✭✭bullpost


    I'd give him until end of season.

    He inherited a disjointed squad so it was always going to take time, but he needs to do a clear out of players who just havent worked out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    if we are still losing when with a fully fit squad then potter is in trouble but like it or now , new owners , new management/ recruitment team , new coach

    this is a transition period

    I'd give him until Nov/Dec next season

    Any manager deserves a summer window, and the pre season to try to implement their ways

    He'll have got a good headstart, but I won't judge him until then



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,849 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,262 ✭✭✭bullpost


    Really hope I'm wrong but suspect he will struggle with the physicality of the Premier league. Not enough time really for him to make an impression.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,836 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    The most annoying thing is the lack of an option to buy

    He'll have to do really well for us to want to buy him, and since they paid circa €130m for him they won't want to take a loss

    This could well be looked back at like the loans we did for Quaresma, Falcao and Pato

    Even if he does well we get fleeced for the purchase, or we kickstart his career again and we watch him flourish at Atletico or elsewhere



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,522 ✭✭✭Killinator


    Lower and lower we go.

    You can only nearly laugh at this stage 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,640 ✭✭✭Xander10


    Felix red card. You couldn't make it up.

    Ive said it before, but Chelsea have the two worst PL goalkeepers



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,262 ✭✭✭bullpost


    I think we'll see Poch in the door soon. This cant go on



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,583 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Maybe the EPL will struggle with the physicality of Felix.

    Mudryk looks like the real deal. Hopefully he lives up to the promise but he had some lovely touches at the weekend.
