The new Hazard (hopefully)

Killinator · 31-01-2023 09:38PM

That Jorginhino move came from nowhere!!!

With the money spent over the last month Potter will big time need to start showing promise with the team, that's serious investment!!!

peteeeed · 31-01-2023 11:22PM

done enzo done - 8 year contract

Reminds me of the start of the RA era.

Killinator · 03-02-2023 08:14PM

Interesting decision to start Ziyech.

The Davestator · 22-02-2023 11:11AM

I think its very clear to see that Potter is out of his depth. We are terrible to watch, don't score, can barely defend, out of the two domestic cups at first ask, sliding down the league and behind in the CL after first leg.

Time to make a change to give us some hope for next season

like arteta was out of his depth for 2 seasons , potter well be but ive never seen a club make so many changes and the injuries . if by the end of the season its still bad i reckon he might be gone but don't see the point changing now , could wreck a potential new manger coming in with a squad that hasn't had the chance the gel yet

Arteta won the FA cup in his first season!

City won a premier league without a recognised striker so it can be made to work, Potter just hasn't got the skills to do it. We are so bad to watch, that for the first time in a long time, I've made plans instead of watching the Spurs match on Sunday as I can't be arsed being bored silly for 2 hours again! Hopefully I will be regretting my decision.

Killinator · 26-02-2023 06:48PM

2 wins in 15! FIFTEEN! in all competitions.

No away win since October.

At this rate we'll be looking for Harry Redknapp or Steve Bruce to 'steady the ship' and avoid relegation 🙄

Gus Hiddink still avaialble?

I think it's the perfect time to get rid of him. I'd say he has lost the dressing room but then he never had it. If they sack him now then we've all seen remarkable things happening very quickly. A new manager bounce could help turn around the Dortmund tie and who knows from there.

my worry is throwing a potentially good manager into this mess , id prefer a full preseason for a new manager unless there is an interim ready to come in

The Davestator · 27-02-2023 04:18PM

Get him out before he causes too much more trouble. As it is, we will miss out on Thursday night football.

Killinator · 27-02-2023 06:34PM

I really get a sense that it'll all come.down to Dortmund tie. If we lose then he'll be gone as there'll be nothing other than maybe, maybe Europa league to fight for.

Wins and progresses and he may get a stay of execution.

Sandor Clegane · 28-02-2023 12:00AM

Its a bizarre situation but he surely knew what he was walking into before he agreed to the job, I personally don't believe he didn't know the conditions in which he was going to work under, I'm sure he was told about all these signings and what the transfer policy was going to be, any manager worth anything wouldn't go into a club not knowing and agreeing to what the plan was...but at the same time it's hard to imagine anyone with a spine agreeing to work under these conditions, having 600 million worth of random players being thrust on you creating a circus of a squad that's going to be impossible to manage.

Yep - thats it for me too.

Someone experienced like Poch then to clean up mess and try salvage what we can for this season but focus on next one.

Come on now! Being handed that many world class players and then blaming the club is a bit much! The Chelsea manager needs to be able to manage world class players. We have loads of them, he just cant get them playing for him. As I said, Pep won a league title with no striker with less of a squad. I'd rather he was gone before Dortumund, but the closer it gets, the less chance there is.

bullpost · 06-03-2023 12:37PM

Back to winning ways - hopefully start of a run but I have my doubts.

big improvement with 3 at the back and chilwell able to bomb up the pitch as a WB , hopefully same system tomorrow and james doing the same on the right

bullpost · 06-03-2023 04:49PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120320455#Comment_120320455

Yep - James needed.

Killinator · 07-03-2023 11:24PM

Looked like a good team tonight.

Still need better finishing practice.

Kai was superb, Kova great and Felix great.

Sterling was very poor bar his goal which had a heap of fortune thrown on it.

No point in saying James was great because that's just a given at this stage.

Some rays shining through the clouds.

peteeeed · 08-03-2023 08:45AM

Cucerella , KK & fofana were excellent as were Kepa and .......kai . onwards and upwards i hope , good for potter , lot of emotion out of him last night

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120328460#Comment_120328460

Yep and Felix for that creative spark. Hopefully its coming together at last - with injuries going down also. Too late realistically for this season but something to build on.

Killinator · 18-03-2023 08:28PM

Twice losing the lead to Everton.

It's bad enough that we are struggling to get goals but that when we do we get pegged bag by 2 poor goals from a team worrying about relegation 🙄

bullpost · 03-04-2023 12:20PM

Another fine mess...........

Dont think Nagelsmann is the answer - Need a wise , steady , experienced coach to sort this out.

Killinator · 03-04-2023 01:33PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120434567#Comment_120434567

I think at this stage they could give one of us the job!

The Davestator · 03-04-2023 03:13PM

The new person cant be any worse than Potter so its a great result. Terrible to watch, terrible results.
