After Maresca stated that Chelsea was not challenging for the title, everything went downhill. That also told the players that they are not good enough, so why put in an effort
Maresca is too blame no doubt, going to Everton he should have been telling the whole world “Yes WE CAN WIN THE LEAGUE this season “ instead he kept up his crap “we arent in a title race”, in the end the players belived it
@@PeterAlexander-dr7rk This mentality coupled with the lack of proactive changes during games is ruining the performance! Idk what Maresca has been doing in the last half time talks but it feels like he's taking all the energy out of the players! They come out looking defeated when there's still 50 minutes to play! Maybe he tells them it's ok to lose so they don't go in a downward mental spiral OR he takes the Guardiola approach and gives them waaaay too many instructions and our young inexperienced players get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of pep talks. I really don't know what's goin on...
agree with u ... honeymoon is over for maresca... I know chelsea is not ready yet to challenge the title, but as a manager you have to say something like "It is hard but we will work hard and try to win it" instead of that crap
So according to Maresca the owners have said this season just get the lads playing, next season challenge for top 4, season after go for the title. So 5 years after the take over we might challenge for the title 5 years!!!
That is the least of his crime, a new GK was bought to take up the MO. 1 spot because Sanchez was not good enough but Enzo condemned him to bench and keep playing Sanchez
To act as an extra defender in possession, offering passing options, creating numerical advantage. To attract the opponent to press him so that there will be an unmarked teammate elsewhere, breaking the opponent’s press. To utilise his vision, game reading and decision making on when to pass slow/fast, when to go long/short, dictating the tempo at the back. To combine these with his short and long passing ability, the team would play so much better. All of the above would increase the quality and quantity of possession, so that the team can maximise the quality and quantity of their ball progression and chance creation, which would eventually turns into more goals. If you have the ball, the opponent can’t score. So your team would concede less in total.
@@thierryhenry674 all of that is absolutely irrelevant if the goalkeeper can’t save shots on target when we do inevitably lose the ball. Nothing makes me laugh more than the modern day football fans who have convinced themselves that a goalkeeper’s ball-playing ability is more important than their shot stopping ability
Yes George - finally !!! You read my mind. I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. You really hit the nail on the head. First, we must bring back Ben Chilwell. He will add leadership and strengthen our defence. Just like With Trev, they are making a big mistake with Chillie. I can’t believe how reckless these new owners are. They’d rather he waste away than use him. Our Champions League, Club World Cup winning, deputy Captain. He will add a definitive value to the team as he has a wealth of experience. His market value will also increase (as this fact may hit an accord with these owners. Jaden Sancho should be encouraged to shoot more from outside of the box also. I also wanted to say that we have enough players for two attacking options. Felix, Nkunku and Netto should be our 2nd attacking force and they should be trained to work together. Nkunku is real sharp and he can play as our Fox in the Box. When Noni, Jackson and Jaden are not working, we should replace them with Felix, Nkunku and Netto for the 2nd half using different attacking strategies. When we take Reece off, we can bring Chillie on and he can play as wing back. We can move CuCu to the right. I just added on about Chillie because he has a lot of experience and I am ashamed of the way these new owners are treating him.
Eish it's a shame sure the way they are treating chilwel. How on earth can a coach say Ben can't fit my type of play yet you never gave him a chance.Sure a legend who won everything with Tuchel then you wokeup the next morng n say he is a flop
I remember the time when Jesus of arsenal scores a hat trick people loved him n hear what he said; you loved me because I scored a hat trick but when I am played 12mnts you blame me that I am a flop how can I perform in ten minutes. And now see the way how this Satan of ours treats nkukhu. A heroes 30 goals per season you bench him and say he is a flop. He can't even play 15 minutes n you expect him to score 4goals that the whole team failed to do shiiiiit fake Maresca he should leave our beloved Chelsea soon
Whoever decided that the third choice keeper at Brighton could become Chelsea's first choice needs to explain his thinking and reasoning. They must still be putting pressure on Maresca as he keeps playing him when it is obvious to everyone that he is not capable at this level. Was there anything underhand in this deal?
Funny how people only realize the owners are not running the club right after a poor run in form lol. I've noticed this while we were winning smaller teams already
Even on the pitch there have been warning signs, we concede practically every single game, I knew eventually we’d have a dry run and we wouldn’t be able to plug the gap at the back
I’m more interested in celebrating my club winning football matches when we’re winning football matches. If we keep winning football matches, then the recruitment isn’t a problem because we’ve clearly bought perfect footballers if you win every game.
@@bobmarshall8527 I get your point. But you could see bro they only buying youngsters to sell them off for more profit I can't blame anyone who thought they signing youngsters to grow the club but it was so obvious they were doing that. Even though Gallagher wasn't the best of midfielders he wanted to be here and was good enough to start some games or come on as a sub but they saw profit
@@nabeelwantza5484 oh for sure mate. I probably didn’t make it clear that I agree with what you said but was also saying how the warning signs have been there on the pitch too. The hope is always that it’ll turn and we’ll get better we never stopped conceding.
These owners are just jokers. Look at the big clubs, Liverpool and Man City to be precise have quality players, matured and young players learning from them as role models. We have just adopted kids expecting them to do the jobs meant for men. Very unreal
I think we're expecting them all to grow up together and become a fantastic team in a year or two. Which isn't a bad plan, but the waiting is proving painful.
Yes but then you consider. Man city are routinely the biggest net spenders or second biggest net spenders in the British isles .you'd expect nothing less. Liverpool had once in a generation manager
Conventional wisdom is youngsters are blooded into the team, one or two at a time, even then when the team is winning. At Chelsea, they all youngsters to start off, with more youngsters to come on.
@ extremely sad man. This unrealistic and unreasonable policy of going for under 25, how many quality players or strikers are under that age range. We won’t make top four with Sanchez as number 1, allow Caisedo to die along without a backup and Osimen as a number 9.
@@Red-lg9hv reason why I called the owners jokers. They are just running the club as a business, get their profit. They don’t care about the legacy of the team, nor the fans. How can you spend over a billion on kids
The owners thought they knew how to run a football club. Their arrogance and denial have made the club what it is today. Now, they’re lowering standards to make their failures look like achievements. It’s shameful. I don’t recognise my club… we’ve been used to compare ourselves to top tier European clubs, not bloody Brighton.
We are never winning trophies again until the club is sold. Its easy to win. Get a top mananger. But they sacked the top manager we had and appointed potter, lamps, maresca 3 championship managers in a row lol and u guys talking about winning LOL
The new ownership spent over a billion pounds and we don't have a single word class player. We can't get back half the money we paid for most of the players in the squad. Average coach, below average players, and stupid management.
The owners don't expect UCL qualification this season, but Chelsea don't have a front shirt sponsor because they believe they could secure a better deal if the team qualifies for the UCL. Who's fooling who👀
Benson I unsubscribed from your channel last year November ending after being subscribed with you for over 4 and a half years mainly because you always like finding the brighter sides of every poor game Chelsea have had in the recent times,… like I had enough of how my first ever Chelsea RUclipsr was over looking all these things. Finally feels refreshing that you can see now what other Chelsea RUclipsr have seen for ages now. Better late than never
a GK, striker and a recall for Lesley and we're golden. I agree, our owners have fucked up thus far. We cannot go for young players rn but 2-3 senior players.
The Special One was right - When you start accepting defeats just because your team played well and just because your players gave their best, a performance for people to be proud of… I think when you get used to it, that’s when the big clubs stop being big clubs." It's a shame what our club has become 😢
Why was Gallagher sold? I can’t believe what’s happening at this club. Players like John Terry and Frank Lampard, who I grew up watching, would’ve literally died for Chelsea. They had that deep love and commitment to the club, and Gallagher was cut from the same cloth. He’s a Chelsea lad through and through, someone who cares about this club just as much as they did. But instead of appreciating that, we’re letting him go, and for what? To bring in mercenaries who are only here for a paycheck? It’s sickening. And now we’re in a position where we’re seriously lacking squad depth in midfield. We’re running Caicedo into the ground with no proper backup, and on top of that, we’re stuck with Lavia, who’s made of glass! It’s a joke. The sale of Gallagher makes absolutely no sense, especially when we’re in desperate need of players who can actually step up and perform. It feels like the board is so disconnected from the reality of what this club needs. We’re losing everything that made Chelsea special, and it’s all for the sake of some short-term financial gain. This isn’t just frustrating, it’s heartbreaking.
GEORGE you sound like me, Maresca IS too blame, HE is the one who picks the team, he should have binned Sanchez after costing us against Liverpool, he should have had the guts to stick Palmer on the right and play Nkunku behind Jackson, continually picking Noni who is bang average ( should have sold him to Newcastle), should insist that Petrovic and Santos need to be recalled
Moresca said that to go to champions league not this season but next season that's means we will cry over and over and over again 💙💙💙🇺🇬🇺🇬 am from uganda
Chelsea need to take their games by the scruff of the neck, like Liverpool, Arsenal,Newcastle etc do ! Our biggest problem is the lack of confidence ( alongside a poor goalkeeper and a poor central striker) .
The main issue with Chelsea at the moment is the goal keeper ,he is out of form and characterized with poor decision making and goal keeping.Chelsea should get rid of him and bring in a better striker who doesn't joke in front of the goal
Chelsea finished 6th last season. Chelsea this season is no longer in top into 6th and drowning. But somehow, Enzo Maresca thinks the team is doing well and ahead of schedule 😂. What a joke
I think as a fan of Chelsea we shouldn’t show up to a home game so the club loses money till they listen to us it outrageous I rather watch Everton play 💀💀💀
The more we start to lose matches the more I fear the reality is Palmer will leave in the summer for a bigger club that’s in the Champions League. He doesn’t deserve us.
It is shameful what our Chelsea has turned into. CHELSEA had a whole SEVEN days rest to rest. MANCITTY played an ENERGY DRAINING match against one of the toughest teams in Europe, just 3 days ago, and the same Mancity still THRASHED us and ran us RAGGED .CHELSEA, with averagely the youngest group of players in the league looked LOST and LIFELESS against a bunch of old machineries. We havent beaten Mancity in the league in 5 years. Even after spending A BILLION SQUID, we couldn't still beat them. WHERE IS OUR PRIDE? WHERE IS OUR MENTALITY? OUR CHELSEA IS NOW A SOURCE OF SHAME TO US ALL. To crown it all, our useless coach came out to say our team was better than last monh, we are ahead of time...WHAT ??? What a bullock ! What a pony !!! WE ARE FINISHED !!!! If we all truly love this club, we should be out on the street in front of STAMFORD BRIDGE , protesting against the leadership of our this our dear club. WHAT A SHAME !😢😢
It doesn’t matter if you watch Minerals, Miz, Mah, Younes, or Benson we all want the same thing we want Chelsea to be great again we all need to swallow our pride and fight for our beautiful club 💙💙💙💙💙
My only thing is, we can complain all we want but we're not the owners, directors, manager or players. So what are we supposed to do other sit in and get all miserable about it?
It's telling that our 1 win in 7 coincides with Jackson last scoring. Goals are momentum swings and momentum is everything in Football. Goals change games end of, it's cliché for a reason. Newcastle's run is arguably down to Isak. His goals have been crucial to turning the tide or cementing games, likewise Haaland. I actually now regret not going for Omorodian or even Duran. I've been Jackson's biggest advocate for the longest time but sadly this Chelsea squad isn't conducive for burgeoning talents and we just don't have the time or environment now. Under Poch, arguably everyone improved. For all of Poch's faults and failings for "too much running", our teams were extremely fit and sustained the fight throughout the 90mins. We were scoring late goals and running teams ragged. Now we barely have a good second half in games. One thing that we could've hung our hats on with Poch is he's a squad builder, a talent nurturer. A somewhat father-figure to the players. He turned good talents into world class, took a mediocre Spurs and turned them into title challengers. Most of all he knew how to remain competitive in a 5-year period. Sure, his methods were somewhat outdated but I'd gladly take Poch's chaotic and high-energy football than this tactical ineptitude. Name a player under Maresca who's done even marginally better than in Poch's last few months. Poch was a known quantity, with Maresca can we even turn it around? Is his stern tactics a hinderance for a players low on confidence? We don't know.
Chai.... That quote from Abrahamovic about "being forced to sell his baby, Chelsea FC is so touching indeed! As fans, we are missing him even more now with all the negative noise, circus, and shenanigans going on at the club since three years ago with the current clueless owners!
The honest truth is, if clearlake were allowed to just buy players n sell,them not having their own team, they would,thats all they want, nothing else! But unfortunately they are just hiding behind Chelsea football club to buy n sell players, no care whatsoever about Chelsea fc n its fans
Not quite as they see Chelsea as an investment vehicle... What they'd really like to do is sell the club, but keep the hotels and the land on the training ground. But they're locked in till 2029...
17:21 You know, George, I start to think Poch got the sack because he benched Sanchez. Truly. Enzo Maresca hadn't arrived at Cobham yet and he said at that time that Sanchez would be his 1st choice for GK. A conspiracy? I don't think so.
That's what I've been thinking. It's clearly a strong order from above wanting to use Sanchez. Like when maresca came in, he immediately backed sanchez no matter what.... He didn't even consider other goalkeepers whether they would suit to his playing style or not, no.... Straight to first choice... A bit fishy if you ask me
Great video. My sentiments exactly. Mentality goes a long way. I hope, and i use it loosely, I hope in our future player and coaching "data models", we factor in mentality and killer instinct. Most of the current roster, coaches, and sporting directors are soft and weak.
The problem with young players is that they are inconsistent and having a whole team full of them is a big problem. If we continue with the same players we might start competing after five years if we're lucky.
Owners content to wallow in mediocrity and double standards. Stunned by repeated long term absences. Continuing on a path of destruction. The January window is shaking the team to the core. No solutions yet for goalkeeping, striker, backup holding mids. A lack of urgency to utilize the bench more or unshackle all potential club players who can contribute or make a difference. Our issues are self inflicted. There are some good parts that need more impetus and immediate support. But there are also weak links that need replacing. Very tough decisions this week on: who are capable to play, who like Chalobah should be recalled, who needs benching, who could benefit from some rest, where we need to make neccessary moves in the remaining transfer saga days, who should be playing where. The holy trinity need to get their kingdom in order or the slide continues.
Remember the time when i told jackson got no striker instinct in your live stream and got ridiculed by you...well did u see our striker's instinct to out the ball in an open net. @GBFC
I do agree with you George on the majority of your points. It might be a top down approach isn’t working. Our squad needs trimming and new additions in key areas like you mention but I think there is a core that the sporting directors have collected. I imagine they’re not much better than us at couch coaching in football or coaching for that matter. So they might as well make creating good squad depth as a required strength. Most of the time the information from the up top goes quieter as the years go on. Sometimes it works like in our academy under Neil Bath and Brendan Fraser. Sometimes it fails. Things will change, hopefully for the better sooner rather than later.
This project has been going for three years with four or five different managers. Although there are some positives with Maresca at the wheel, we cannot deny that compared to the number of signings and money spent we are underperforming. The performance of some players are ABYSMAL and looking at the level Chelsea used to perform, this is unacceptable. Not being able to find a shirt sponsor for over half a season and not signing anyone this window despite the links shows how slow these new management are operating. If this year we don't make Champions League Football, i want Winstanley, Stewart and whoever is handling these assignments out of the management.
They bought a top 4 club with all its debts wiped out. A debt free PL top 4 club. Then they wrecked us, BlueCo , our ownership entity, in 600m debt, plunging down the table etc etc. They have ruined Chelsea
Arsenal were top 4 club att when the government kicked Roman out. We on the other hand were among the title challengers expected every year, not always ending as one but always starting and trying to be.
We are of the same age george. My first game was a 2-0 defeat at ellend road december 2002. Supported the club since i was 6 years old. I get a lot of grief as im from york.. This is the worst ive seen the club run in 23 years.. I'm 29 now when i first went to the bridge aged 7 the atmosphere was electric. I went start of this season and its just not the same energy from back in the day. Bearing in mind for me thats a 500+ mile round trip to support my club. I do believe a protest is needed. Not to get the ownership out but make them rethink their stategy. Theres other ways of making money rather than farming young prospects and selling them on. My home town club york city do that. The standards are in the mud.
This was a fantastic video George. Well said. Captured a lot of what we're worried about as fans. I'm sick of the acceptance of mediocrity at the club.
It seems as Maresca has failed to instill a never die mentality , yes we have talents but this requires to be accompanied by a refuse to die mentality.
Maresca kept talking about having more control/management in games. In implementing this by drilling the players, he clipped the teams wings offensively…….. hence not going further ahead when we have a one goal lead. He has curbed the players enthusiasm in order to inculcate more order and control in the long term. Backfired, clearly.
The club owners are running the club like someone playing a football computer game, except that all players have to be under 24 which is the youngest average starting age in the Premier League. The leaders, Liverpool, have an average starting age of under 28, Man City under 28, Arsenal under 27, Nottingham Forest under 27.
George I agree with you. Power is in the toung. So a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Whatever you impress on your subconscious mind them your heart and body will work to bring it to pass. I strongly think that the owners, coaches, and players need to change their way of thinking. Winning is ATTITUDE. The only word that adds up to 100 and I dear say 100%. ATTITUDE is either 100% positive or negative there is no in-between.
Totally agree George. For me the problems started when Jackson was lauded as a gifted striker! As someone who's been a fervant Blues fan since 1945 and my dear old dad who was ballboy before the war and uncles I knew immediately he wasn't good enough! Keeper is useless no ooomphh in midfield ongoing fullback problem wingers who contribute nothing. Other clubs moving upwards while we slide back! Make a mini start by dropping the keeper!
Spoken really for all chelsea fans. Watched an interview Maresca did with Sky recently (a one on one sit with a lady), and he said he feels no difference in pressure at Leicester or here at Chelsea, I was like nah! But I don't blame him cause the people upstairs have lowered the bar. I like Maresca but this is freaking Chelsea, mate! The club Mourinho coached! Ancelotti coached! Tuchel coached!
Disasi will soon prove his quality at Aston Villa. He is to good to be siting on bench. Chelsea defense is not better without Disasi. Acheampong is too young for playing regular team. Colwill is overrated.
There is a reason mid table selling clubs like brighton don't win titles. Lack of experience. Once they get an exceptional player, he is sold, and the team loses experience. The fact that chelsea sold their better experienced players of last season, Gallagher, chalobah, and petrovic says a lot about the level they wish to operate. Title winners sell their worst players and buy the best. It is crazy enough that a coach would psychologically impart on his team that they are not good enough to challenge for titles. SMH.
Toxic fan base. Toxic influencers. A month of bad football everything is doom and gloom. Head up, you are all embarrassing yourselves. Yes Sanches needs to be dropped. The rest is the unsettling of the window, we have to get use to that as we are a buying a bargain selling at high cost type of club now. Basically a supermarket for football clubs. But we have extremely talented players in the first team that aren’t being sold. We will come good.
I hope this ends with Boehly buying out Clearlake. Since the results aren’t covering it up anymore, I think the ownership battle story will reappear. And it seems like a Boehly is interested as a fan, whereas Clearlake are literally an investment firm with no reason to care for the fans.
Owners thinking we are not ready for any title race this season is mathematically sound. But then again, football is more than just math. The players and us the fans... we are not robots. Especially us, the fans. Players can play for money but we don't support the club purely because of title and glory. We love the club. That is what these owners don't get. They don't understand love and passion. Owners, managers, and players may come and go. But we are always here 😢
Politics takes a place not only that even referees they tried to drop us out so it's so difficulty for the club now plus some players and management in totally very bad situation
I love Chelsea and Drogba is the one that made me bacome a Chelsea fan and it's the first team and maybe last team I have ever supported. But with the way things are going, I will just stop to watch Chelsea matches before I get a heart attack one day. Every match, my blood pressure rises when I see our goal keeper and Jackson. All what you are saying is right. 100 percent.
it has to be said, contracts allowed to run down have cost us dearly towards the end of romans reign, courtois, christensen, rudiger, kante, should all still be at this club or good replacements couldve been targeted years in advance.
It's really shameful after spending more than a billion we need need a proven St , A good goalkeeper , Backpack midfielder and Fullback.. These Directors and owners are joke man
Bro even as a business we running like crap!! who in their right mind would have a big company and have Sanchez as the storeroom keeper and things gets missing every week and still keep him in charge?!!
The team has serious problems that need serious address to be installed for the long term stability of the Club and this must be implemented in regards to our culture and legacy as a Club....
I am in agreement with you. I have been saying this since last season about our goalkeeping and our striker situation. This would never have happened under roman abramovich if chelsea is being treated like a business there not doing a good job at that because in a factory when a machine is old and worn out or it keeps falling or can't keep up with demand you get rid of it and that's what we are not doing sorry for the long rant but I have been a supporter from 1970 and I can see this club being a so so club like we where in the 1970 and 80
My simple opinion is: Note I don’t have nothing against France players but have more than 2 France players in the same team is not good for Premier League Leagues Teams
Since the coming of these new Chelsea owners, I have suggested that Chelsea fans should stop patronising Chelsea stores and stop paying for tickets to attend Chelsea matches so that the owners would stop making that money they are only focusing on. For some people, it is normal to be foolish
PALMER HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE BS AT CHELSEA AND IS ON THE WAY TO REAL MADRID IN THE SUMMER. SO WHY ARE WE SELLING ALL THREE PLAYERS WHO COULD PLAY IN THAT POSITION ? NKUNKU, FELIX, CHUCKY.
Maressca may as well have become a total "Yes man" and lacks independence on making critical decision such as voicing the need for a goal keeper and striker......
Something's seriously wrong at our club. It just ain't Chelsea. We've been poor in the past but we had no money to improve things. We've pissed over a billion up the wall with nothing to show for it but a mediocre team, poor management and money orientated owners. Makes me so sad after 55 years of supporting them.
If we somehow get a top 4 or 5, please which squad are we going to play in UCL? If we go into UCL with this squad, it will be a weekly humiliation of losses
Yes the negativity of BALDY when we were second sent a message to the players , that they could take it easy and didn’t have a target themselves. And the players followed the directions they were given, and are now a shadow of what they were only 2 months ago. So I blame Baldy for that. Even if not given a target himself he should not have conveyed this to the team. 90% of sports performance is in the mind so if the mind is not focused on winning you become losers. Then we have the chaos in the squad, and it’s not clear who is responsible. Is it the Sporting Directors or Baldy as well ? So who sent both our best defender and goalkeeper on loan ? Who sent SANTOS on loan when we were short in midfield given on going LAVIA problems. Who bought VEGA and KDH who aren’t good enough and froze CHUCKY out who is more talented ? Who is selling FELIX and NKUNKU when we can’t score and are too stubborn to get them into the team ? We don’t develop players apart from certain favourites. Most are bought, benched, and sold. We hear that these owners are running the club as a business but that’s a failure too. There is no profit to justify the huge amount of cash that’s been blown away. Constant PSR issues show there is no accounting profit, and the cash flow over the past three years is negative. Almost every player we have bought is worth less and is being sold at a cash loss, including those bought only 6-12 months ago. Players we buy are mostly not good enough to strengthen the team, and serious holes in the first team are ignored. It’s a team and a mindset designed to lose with no standards of performance, attitude, or consistency. Above average players no longer want to join Chelsea due to the way they are treated. The team is getting worse not better and will almost certainly finish below where it finished last season. After spending a fortune we have a squad weaker than at least 7 other teams including NOTTS F and BOURNEMOUTH. How is that even possible ? Any normal person without mental health issues, given 1.5 Billion would build a squad at least above those clubs and on a par with LIVERPOOL, ARSENAL, and MAN C. That’s enough to buy 15 players for £100 million each. The scale of the failure is beyond belief.
We need to sell or loan: sanchez, disasi, badiashille, fofana (if he keep injured), and KDH Need to be done: 1. Top goalkeeper or recall petrovic rn and see top goalkeeper market in the summer. 2. Top striker unfortunately we need one rn so, if we can like city splash that garnacho money for top striker like gyokeres or osimhen will be great. 3. We need midfield back up rn. We can recall either santos or ugochukwu or both of them if you want guarenteed back up. 4. Maresca must be brave to change things if not success. Ex: he can play palmer on the right, Nico on the left, playing with natural fullback not inverted one, or play palmer with nkunku or Felix.

Abramovich was passionate these new owners see chelsea as a business making money not winning trophies
After Maresca stated that Chelsea was not challenging for the title, everything went downhill. That also told the players that they are not good enough, so why put in an effort
Maresca is too blame no doubt, going to Everton he should have been telling the whole world “Yes WE CAN WIN THE LEAGUE this season “ instead he kept up his crap “we arent in a title race”, in the end the players belived it
@@PeterAlexander-dr7rk This mentality coupled with the lack of proactive changes during games is ruining the performance!
Idk what Maresca has been doing in the last half time talks but it feels like he's taking all the energy out of the players! They come out looking defeated when there's still 50 minutes to play!
Maybe he tells them it's ok to lose so they don't go in a downward mental spiral OR he takes the Guardiola approach and gives them waaaay too many instructions and our young inexperienced players get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of pep talks. I really don't know what's goin on...
agree with u ... honeymoon is over for maresca... I know chelsea is not ready yet to challenge the title, but as a manager you have to say something like "It is hard but we will work hard and try to win it" instead of that crap
Maresca is very stubborn
So according to Maresca the owners have said this season just get the lads playing, next season challenge for top 4, season after go for the title.
So 5 years after the take over we might challenge for the title 5 years!!!
When I lost my faith in Maressca,was when he sent our no.1 keep on loan to Strasbourg.
That is the least of his crime, a new GK was bought to take up the MO. 1 spot because Sanchez was not good enough but Enzo condemned him to bench and keep playing
Sanchez
Wake up mate Maresca had no saying on anything... these decisions are all predetermined by the ownership. Maresca is just a puppet!
Isn't Sanchez being played the goalkeeping coaches fault? That's what I keep reading
😂 Maresca is just another example of how the club has sunk. unbelievable the clownlakes drag us into this mess of hiring a manager from championship
@@FruitsaladOSRSyes it’s Enzo’s fault, Sanchez hasn’t been good enough for 3-4 years but yet he kept playing him
Everyone should boycott going to games to force clearlake out.
Tweet with hashtag Clearlake OUT hashtag Clownlake OUT
Agreed.
Won't happen though
Too early for that. If they bring in a Striker and a Keeper before the window shuts, this blip could be over.
agreed till we get owners out that's where the problem is
@@windelwalker3788the realism is surreal
Agreed , absolutely
Petrovic having a man of the match performance against Lille and Andre Santos scoring in the same game while we suffer
Petrovic can’t play out from the back.
Sanchez is much better he can go out of goal area petrovic cannot
Who is playing out from the back help? With all playing from the back fallacies,what has it turn out to for Chelsea fc?
To act as an extra defender in possession, offering passing options, creating numerical advantage.
To attract the opponent to press him so that there will be an unmarked teammate elsewhere, breaking the opponent’s press.
To utilise his vision, game reading and decision making on when to pass slow/fast, when to go long/short, dictating the tempo at the back. To combine these with his short and long passing ability, the team would play so much better.
All of the above would increase the quality and quantity of possession, so that the team can maximise the quality and quantity of their ball progression and chance creation, which would eventually turns into more goals.
If you have the ball, the opponent can’t score. So your team would concede less in total.
@@thierryhenry674 all of that is absolutely irrelevant if the goalkeeper can’t save shots on target when we do inevitably lose the ball. Nothing makes me laugh more than the modern day football fans who have convinced themselves that a goalkeeper’s ball-playing ability is more important than their shot stopping ability
Yes George - finally !!! You read my mind. I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. You really hit the nail on the head.
First, we must bring back Ben Chilwell. He will add leadership and strengthen our defence. Just like With Trev, they are making a big mistake with Chillie.
I can’t believe how reckless these new owners are. They’d rather he waste away than use him. Our Champions League, Club World Cup winning, deputy Captain. He will add a definitive value to the team as he has a wealth of experience.
His market value will also increase (as this fact may hit an accord with these owners.
Jaden Sancho should be encouraged to shoot more from outside of the box also.
I also wanted to say that we have enough players for two attacking options.
Felix, Nkunku and Netto should be our 2nd attacking force and they should be trained to work together. Nkunku is real sharp and he can play as our Fox in the Box.
When Noni, Jackson and Jaden are not working, we should replace them with Felix, Nkunku and Netto for the 2nd half using different attacking strategies.
When we take Reece off, we can bring Chillie on and he can play as wing back. We can move CuCu to the right.
I just added on about Chillie because he has a lot of experience and I am ashamed of the way these new owners are treating him.
Yes, its not rocket science..Maresca just Dont understand even the basics. Jackson is the worst striker ever..
Eish it's a shame sure the way they are treating chilwel. How on earth can a coach say Ben can't fit my type of play yet you never gave him a chance.Sure a legend who won everything with Tuchel then you wokeup the next morng n say he is a flop
I remember the time when Jesus of arsenal scores a hat trick people loved him n hear what he said; you loved me because I scored a hat trick but when I am played 12mnts you blame me that I am a flop how can I perform in ten minutes. And now see the way how this Satan of ours treats nkukhu. A heroes 30 goals per season you bench him and say he is a flop. He can't even play 15 minutes n you expect him to score 4goals that the whole team failed to do shiiiiit fake Maresca he should leave our beloved Chelsea soon
If we dont drop Jackson, Sanchez and even Madueke, we are not getting any Europe spot at the end of the season...
Whoever decided that the third choice keeper at Brighton could become Chelsea's first choice needs to explain his thinking and reasoning. They must still be putting pressure on Maresca as he keeps playing him when it is obvious to everyone that he is not capable at this level. Was there anything underhand in this deal?
Funny how people only realize the owners are not running the club right after a poor run in form lol. I've noticed this while we were winning smaller teams already
Even on the pitch there have been warning signs, we concede practically every single game, I knew eventually we’d have a dry run and we wouldn’t be able to plug the gap at the back
I’m more interested in celebrating my club winning football matches when we’re winning football matches. If we keep winning football matches, then the recruitment isn’t a problem because we’ve clearly bought perfect footballers if you win every game.
@@bobmarshall8527 I get your point. But you could see bro they only buying youngsters to sell them off for more profit I can't blame anyone who thought they signing youngsters to grow the club but it was so obvious they were doing that. Even though Gallagher wasn't the best of midfielders he wanted to be here and was good enough to start some games or come on as a sub but they saw profit
@@GBFCbut if we lose then the recruitment magically becomes a problem? What you said here makes no sense mate
@@nabeelwantza5484 oh for sure mate. I probably didn’t make it clear that I agree with what you said but was also saying how the warning signs have been there on the pitch too. The hope is always that it’ll turn and we’ll get better we never stopped conceding.
These owners are just jokers.
Look at the big clubs, Liverpool and Man City to be precise have quality players, matured and young players learning from them as role models. We have just adopted kids expecting them to do the jobs meant for men. Very unreal
I think we're expecting them all to grow up together and become a fantastic team in a year or two. Which isn't a bad plan, but the waiting is proving painful.
Yes but then you consider. Man city are routinely the biggest net spenders or second biggest net spenders in the British isles .you'd expect nothing less. Liverpool had once in a generation manager
Conventional wisdom is youngsters are blooded into the team, one or two at a time, even then when the team is winning. At Chelsea, they all youngsters to start off, with more youngsters to come on.
@ extremely sad man. This unrealistic and unreasonable policy of going for under 25, how many quality players or strikers are under that age range.
We won’t make top four with Sanchez as number 1, allow Caisedo to die along without a backup and Osimen as a number 9.
@@Red-lg9hv reason why I called the owners jokers. They are just running the club as a business, get their profit. They don’t care about the legacy of the team, nor the fans. How can you spend over a billion on kids
Haha I returned to his videos after 5 years and mans still going strong. Big up George🙌😂
The owners thought they knew how to run a football club. Their arrogance and denial have made the club what it is today. Now, they’re lowering standards to make their failures look like achievements. It’s shameful. I don’t recognise my club… we’ve been used to compare ourselves to top tier European clubs, not bloody Brighton.
I missed us lifting trophies 😢
We are never winning trophies again until the club is sold. Its easy to win. Get a top mananger. But they sacked the top manager we had and appointed potter, lamps, maresca 3 championship managers in a row lol and u guys talking about winning LOL
@@Mistimo123 Lampard is a club legend so understand it plz
The new ownership spent over a billion pounds and we don't have a single word class player. We can't get back half the money we paid for most of the players in the squad. Average coach, below average players, and stupid management.
The owners don't expect UCL qualification this season, but Chelsea don't have a front shirt sponsor because they believe they could secure a better deal if the team qualifies for the UCL.
Who's fooling who👀
Benson I unsubscribed from your channel last year November ending after being subscribed with you for over 4 and a half years mainly because you always like finding the brighter sides of every poor game Chelsea have had in the recent times,… like I had enough of how my first ever Chelsea RUclipsr was over looking all these things. Finally feels refreshing that you can see now what other Chelsea RUclipsr have seen for ages now. Better late than never
a GK, striker and a recall for Lesley and we're golden. I agree, our owners have fucked up thus far. We cannot go for young players rn but 2-3 senior players.
The Special One was right -
When you start accepting defeats just because your team played well and just because your players gave their best, a performance for people to be proud of… I think when you get used to it, that’s when the big clubs stop being big clubs."
It's a shame what our club has become 😢
Well said Benson 👏
Why was Gallagher sold?
I can’t believe what’s happening at this club. Players like John Terry and Frank Lampard, who I grew up watching, would’ve literally died for Chelsea. They had that deep love and commitment to the club, and Gallagher was cut from the same cloth. He’s a Chelsea lad through and through, someone who cares about this club just as much as they did. But instead of appreciating that, we’re letting him go, and for what? To bring in mercenaries who are only here for a paycheck? It’s sickening.
And now we’re in a position where we’re seriously lacking squad depth in midfield. We’re running Caicedo into the ground with no proper backup, and on top of that, we’re stuck with Lavia, who’s made of glass! It’s a joke. The sale of Gallagher makes absolutely no sense, especially when we’re in desperate need of players who can actually step up and perform. It feels like the board is so disconnected from the reality of what this club needs. We’re losing everything that made Chelsea special, and it’s all for the sake of some short-term financial gain. This isn’t just frustrating, it’s heartbreaking.
Nah, Enzo deserves some blame, he keeps backing Sanchez even at the cost of the club.
And he keeps backing jackson aswell
GEORGE you sound like me, Maresca IS too blame, HE is the one who picks the team, he should have binned Sanchez after costing us against Liverpool, he should have had the guts to stick Palmer on the right and play Nkunku behind Jackson, continually picking Noni who is bang average ( should have sold him to Newcastle), should insist that Petrovic and Santos need to be recalled
Moresca said that to go to champions league not this season but next season that's means we will cry over and over and over again 💙💙💙🇺🇬🇺🇬 am from uganda
I cannot watch another Chelsea match with Sanchez in nets. My heart cannot take the stress. I have never seen anyone as inept in my 60 years!
Chelsea need to take their games by the scruff of the neck, like Liverpool, Arsenal,Newcastle etc do !
Our biggest problem is the lack of confidence ( alongside a poor goalkeeper and a poor central striker) .
The main issue with Chelsea at the moment is the goal keeper ,he is out of form and characterized with poor decision making and goal keeping.Chelsea should get rid of him and bring in a better striker who doesn't joke in front of the goal
Don’t think his form was any good 3rd choice in last team they must have been laughing all way to the bank when Chelsea came in
Man .. 34 thousand attended the WSL yesterday Chelsea x Arsenal ( me included ) .. just want to see Chelsea win man 😅
Chelsea finished 6th last season. Chelsea this season is no longer in top into 6th and drowning.
But somehow, Enzo Maresca thinks the team is doing well and ahead of schedule 😂.
What a joke
You know who’d be great for extra depth in the midfield??? Conor Gallagher
I think as a fan of Chelsea we shouldn’t show up to a home game so the club loses money till they listen to us it outrageous I rather watch Everton play 💀💀💀
The more we start to lose matches the more I fear the reality is Palmer will leave in the summer for a bigger club that’s in the Champions League. He doesn’t deserve us.
It is shameful what our Chelsea has turned into. CHELSEA had a whole SEVEN days rest to rest. MANCITTY played an ENERGY DRAINING match against one of the toughest teams in Europe, just 3 days ago, and the same Mancity still THRASHED us and ran us RAGGED .CHELSEA, with averagely the youngest group of players in the league looked LOST and LIFELESS against a bunch of old machineries. We havent beaten Mancity in the league in 5 years. Even after spending A BILLION SQUID, we couldn't still beat them. WHERE IS OUR PRIDE? WHERE IS OUR MENTALITY? OUR CHELSEA IS NOW A SOURCE OF SHAME TO US ALL. To crown it all, our useless coach came out to say our team was better than last monh, we are ahead of time...WHAT ??? What a bullock ! What a pony !!! WE ARE FINISHED !!!! If we all truly love this club, we should be out on the street in front of STAMFORD BRIDGE , protesting against the leadership of our this our dear club. WHAT A SHAME !😢😢
The signings I want to see, Chelsea just signed Jan Oblak, Bastoni & Jonathan Tah
I totally concur the management is setting the bar too low, the players, the coach all seems to follow suit..... Unacceptable
It doesn’t matter if you watch Minerals, Miz, Mah, Younes, or Benson we all want the same thing we want Chelsea to be great again we all need to swallow our pride and fight for our beautiful club 💙💙💙💙💙
My only thing is, we can complain all we want but we're not the owners, directors, manager or players. So what are we supposed to do other sit in and get all miserable about it?
Fukin protest time lad
They’re just using Chelsea to trade at this point not bothered about results as much
It's telling that our 1 win in 7 coincides with Jackson last scoring. Goals are momentum swings and momentum is everything in Football. Goals change games end of, it's cliché for a reason. Newcastle's run is arguably down to Isak. His goals have been crucial to turning the tide or cementing games, likewise Haaland. I actually now regret not going for Omorodian or even Duran. I've been Jackson's biggest advocate for the longest time but sadly this Chelsea squad isn't conducive for burgeoning talents and we just don't have the time or environment now. Under Poch, arguably everyone improved. For all of Poch's faults and failings for "too much running", our teams were extremely fit and sustained the fight throughout the 90mins. We were scoring late goals and running teams ragged. Now we barely have a good second half in games. One thing that we could've hung our hats on with Poch is he's a squad builder, a talent nurturer. A somewhat father-figure to the players. He turned good talents into world class, took a mediocre Spurs and turned them into title challengers. Most of all he knew how to remain competitive in a 5-year period. Sure, his methods were somewhat outdated but I'd gladly take Poch's chaotic and high-energy football than this tactical ineptitude. Name a player under Maresca who's done even marginally better than in Poch's last few months. Poch was a known quantity, with Maresca can we even turn it around? Is his stern tactics a hinderance for a players low on confidence? We don't know.
Chai....
That quote from Abrahamovic about "being forced to sell his baby, Chelsea FC is so touching indeed!
As fans, we are missing him even more now with all the negative noise, circus, and shenanigans going on at the club since three years ago with the current clueless owners!
The honest truth is, if clearlake were allowed to just buy players n sell,them not having their own team, they would,thats all they want, nothing else! But unfortunately they are just hiding behind Chelsea football club to buy n sell players, no care whatsoever about Chelsea fc n its fans
Not quite as they see Chelsea as an investment vehicle... What they'd really like to do is sell the club, but keep the hotels and the land on the training ground. But they're locked in till 2029...
17:21 You know, George, I start to think Poch got the sack because he benched Sanchez. Truly. Enzo Maresca hadn't arrived at Cobham yet and he said at that time that Sanchez would be his 1st choice for GK. A conspiracy? I don't think so.
Get real. Robert fcking Sanchez does not hold that much player power to be running ridiculous conspiracies like this. He’s not Ronaldo or messi.
That's what I've been thinking. It's clearly a strong order from above wanting to use Sanchez. Like when maresca came in, he immediately backed sanchez no matter what.... He didn't even consider other goalkeepers whether they would suit to his playing style or not, no.... Straight to first choice... A bit fishy if you ask me
George,
you are 100% right in what you are saying. From a great team to what the he'll has gone wrong team
Our dear club is ROTTEN TO THE CORE and the sooner EVERY Chelsea fan realizes that the better!!!
Great video. My sentiments exactly. Mentality goes a long way. I hope, and i use it loosely, I hope in our future player and coaching "data models", we factor in mentality and killer instinct. Most of the current roster, coaches, and sporting directors are soft and weak.
The problem with young players is that they are inconsistent and having a whole team full of them is a big problem. If we continue with the same players we might start competing after five years if we're lucky.
Owners content to wallow in mediocrity and double standards. Stunned by repeated long term absences. Continuing on a path of destruction. The January window is shaking the team to the core. No solutions yet for goalkeeping, striker, backup holding mids. A lack of urgency to utilize the bench more or unshackle all potential club players who can contribute or make a difference. Our issues are self inflicted.
There are some good parts that need more impetus and immediate support. But there are also weak links that need replacing. Very tough decisions this week on: who are capable to play, who like Chalobah should be recalled, who needs benching, who could benefit from some rest, where we need to make neccessary moves in the remaining transfer saga days, who should be playing where.
The holy trinity need to get their kingdom in order or the slide continues.
Poch was on schedule. His last 19 premier league matches (last half of the season), Chelsea were the fourth best team. Will Maresca improve Chelsea?
Remember the time when i told jackson got no striker instinct in your live stream and got ridiculed by you...well did u see our striker's instinct to out the ball in an open net. @GBFC
I do agree with you George on the majority of your points. It might be a top down approach isn’t working. Our squad needs trimming and new additions in key areas like you mention but I think there is a core that the sporting directors have collected. I imagine they’re not much better than us at couch coaching in football or coaching for that matter. So they might as well make creating good squad depth as a required strength. Most of the time the information from the up top goes quieter as the years go on. Sometimes it works like in our academy under Neil Bath and Brendan Fraser. Sometimes it fails. Things will change, hopefully for the better sooner rather than later.
This project has been going for three years with four or five different managers.
Although there are some positives with Maresca at the wheel, we cannot deny that compared to the number of signings and money spent we are underperforming. The performance of some players are ABYSMAL and looking at the level Chelsea used to perform, this is unacceptable.
Not being able to find a shirt sponsor for over half a season and not signing anyone this window despite the links shows how slow these new management are operating. If this year we don't make Champions League Football, i want Winstanley, Stewart and whoever is handling these assignments out of the management.
They bought a top 4 club with all its debts wiped out. A debt free PL top 4 club.
Then they wrecked us, BlueCo , our ownership entity, in 600m debt, plunging down the table etc etc.
They have ruined Chelsea
Arsenal were top 4 club att when the government kicked Roman out. We on the other hand were among the title challengers expected every year, not always ending as one but always starting and trying to be.
We are of the same age george. My first game was a 2-0 defeat at ellend road december 2002. Supported the club since i was 6 years old. I get a lot of grief as im from york.. This is the worst ive seen the club run in 23 years.. I'm 29 now when i first went to the bridge aged 7 the atmosphere was electric. I went start of this season and its just not the same energy from back in the day. Bearing in mind for me thats a 500+ mile round trip to support my club. I do believe a protest is needed. Not to get the ownership out but make them rethink their stategy. Theres other ways of making money rather than farming young prospects and selling them on. My home town club york city do that. The standards are in the mud.
This was a fantastic video George. Well said. Captured a lot of what we're worried about as fans. I'm sick of the acceptance of mediocrity at the club.
Well spoken Benson! I agree with everything you said!💯
I told to myself Maresca constantly denied we for the title to go it was absolutely unacceptable which made an excuse for players not to play 100%
Are we now supposed to support Liverpool coz this team is really going in the ditch at this point
Appreciate it GB. Keep using your platform to voice the frustration we all have👏.
Chelsea fan since 1970 and I am so pissed off now. Let's hope someone at Chelsea is listening because they are certainly not watching.😢
Nailed it George!! We need a world class goalkeeper at least!
It seems as Maresca has failed to instill a never die mentality , yes we have talents but this requires to be accompanied by a refuse to die mentality.
Mr Benson, you have said it all and no need to comment, you have spoken for me 👍
Maresca kept talking about having more control/management in games. In implementing this by drilling the players, he clipped the teams wings offensively…….. hence not going further ahead when we have a one goal lead.
He has curbed the players enthusiasm in order to inculcate more order and control in the long term.
Backfired, clearly.
The club owners are running the club like someone playing a football computer game, except that all players have to be under 24 which is the youngest average starting age in the Premier League. The leaders, Liverpool, have an average starting age of under 28, Man City under 28, Arsenal under 27, Nottingham Forest under 27.
Nice breakdown Benson, am actually very angry with enzo marasca rn for his stubbornness with sanchez
George I agree with you. Power is in the toung. So a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Whatever you impress on your subconscious mind them your heart and body will work to bring it to pass. I strongly think that the owners, coaches, and players need to change their way of thinking. Winning is ATTITUDE. The only word that adds up to 100 and I dear say 100%. ATTITUDE is either 100% positive or negative there is no in-between.
Totally agree George. For me the problems started when Jackson was lauded as a gifted striker! As someone who's been a fervant Blues fan since 1945 and my dear old dad who was ballboy before the war and uncles I knew immediately he wasn't good enough! Keeper is useless no ooomphh in midfield ongoing fullback problem wingers who contribute nothing. Other clubs moving upwards while we slide back! Make a mini start by dropping the keeper!
Spoken really for all chelsea fans. Watched an interview Maresca did with Sky recently (a one on one sit with a lady), and he said he feels no difference in pressure at Leicester or here at Chelsea, I was like nah! But I don't blame him cause the people upstairs have lowered the bar. I like Maresca but this is freaking Chelsea, mate! The club Mourinho coached! Ancelotti coached! Tuchel coached!
What a video! Be the clarion call against BS in our club. Your welcome to do it anytime. Well done.
Disasi will soon prove his quality at Aston Villa. He is to good to be siting on bench. Chelsea defense is not better without Disasi. Acheampong is too young for playing regular team. Colwill is overrated.
There is a reason mid table selling clubs like brighton don't win titles. Lack of experience. Once they get an exceptional player, he is sold, and the team loses experience. The fact that chelsea sold their better experienced players of last season, Gallagher, chalobah, and petrovic says a lot about the level they wish to operate. Title winners sell their worst players and buy the best. It is crazy enough that a coach would psychologically impart on his team that they are not good enough to challenge for titles. SMH.
Toxic fan base. Toxic influencers. A month of bad football everything is doom and gloom. Head up, you are all embarrassing yourselves. Yes Sanches needs to be dropped. The rest is the unsettling of the window, we have to get use to that as we are a buying a bargain selling at high cost type of club now. Basically a supermarket for football clubs. But we have extremely talented players in the first team that aren’t being sold. We will come good.
I hope this ends with Boehly buying out Clearlake. Since the results aren’t covering it up anymore, I think the ownership battle story will reappear. And it seems like a Boehly is interested as a fan, whereas Clearlake are literally an investment firm with no reason to care for the fans.
Owners thinking we are not ready for any title race this season is mathematically sound. But then again, football is more than just math. The players and us the fans... we are not robots. Especially us, the fans. Players can play for money but we don't support the club purely because of title and glory. We love the club. That is what these owners don't get. They don't understand love and passion.
Owners, managers, and players may come and go. But we are always here 😢
Politics takes a place not only that even referees they tried to drop us out so it's so difficulty for the club now plus some players and management in totally very bad situation
I love Chelsea and Drogba is the one that made me bacome a Chelsea fan and it's the first team and maybe last team I have ever supported. But with the way things are going, I will just stop to watch Chelsea matches before I get a heart attack one day. Every match, my blood pressure rises when I see our goal keeper and Jackson.
All what you are saying is right. 100 percent.
Well said Benson ...A man after my own heart ..I agree with all you said...And it's sad to say that.
Nkunku was never given a fair opportunity, this is what pisses me off the most.
it has to be said, contracts allowed to run down have cost us dearly towards the end of romans reign, courtois, christensen, rudiger, kante, should all still be at this club or good replacements couldve been targeted years in advance.
It's really shameful after spending more than a billion we need need a proven St , A good goalkeeper , Backpack midfielder and Fullback..
These Directors and owners are joke man
Bro even as a business we running like crap!! who in their right mind would have a big company and have Sanchez as the storeroom keeper and things gets missing every week and still keep him in charge?!!
No one said these people were good at running a business. They're the Mike Ashley's of America
The team has serious problems that need serious address to be installed for the long term stability of the Club and this must be implemented in regards to our culture and legacy as a Club....
I am in agreement with you. I have been saying this since last season about our goalkeeping and our striker situation. This would never have happened under roman abramovich if chelsea is being treated like a business there not doing a good job at that because in a factory when a machine is old and worn out or it keeps falling or can't keep up with demand you get rid of it and that's what we are not doing sorry for the long rant but I have been a supporter from 1970 and I can see this club being a so so club like we where in the 1970 and 80
Great George! - Love the passion and completely agree :)
The ownership have shown us that they are loosed and have no idea as far as the football culture is concerned....
the players have clearly been instructed not to waste their time running for the title
My simple opinion is: Note I don’t have nothing against France players but have more than 2 France players in the same team is not good for Premier League Leagues Teams
Since the coming of these new Chelsea owners, I have suggested that Chelsea fans should stop patronising Chelsea stores and stop paying for tickets to attend Chelsea matches so that the owners would stop making that money they are only focusing on. For some people, it is normal to be foolish
Now I worry that good players like Enzo, Palmer and Cowell will be tempted to leave the club if the owner do not improve the squad to play in CL.
PALMER HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE BS AT CHELSEA AND IS ON THE WAY TO REAL MADRID IN THE SUMMER. SO WHY ARE WE SELLING ALL THREE PLAYERS WHO COULD PLAY IN THAT POSITION ? NKUNKU, FELIX, CHUCKY.
Jhon Duran to Chelsea transfer twist now clear amid £57m bid and Aston Villa 'agreement' reached
Maressca may as well have become a total "Yes man" and lacks independence on making critical decision such as voicing the need for a goal keeper and striker......
Spot on about press conferences, this is a key factor about demoralising the players and loss of confidence as of late
Something's seriously wrong at our club. It just ain't Chelsea. We've been poor in the past but we had no money to improve things. We've pissed over a billion up the wall with nothing to show for it but a mediocre team, poor management and money orientated owners. Makes me so sad after 55 years of supporting them.
If we somehow get a top 4 or 5, please which squad are we going to play in UCL? If we go into UCL with this squad, it will be a weekly humiliation of losses
Just a chill guy ahead of schedule...Man started licking his lips like Pep, and it went bad.
We've lost Gallagher and Chilwell. That shows the stupidity of the owners and coach. Enough said. Hudson Odoi is killing it at Nottingham Forest...
Yes the negativity of BALDY when we were second sent a message to the players , that they could take it easy and didn’t have a target themselves. And the players followed the directions they were given, and are now a shadow of what they were only 2 months ago. So I blame Baldy for that. Even if not given a target himself he should not have conveyed this to the team. 90% of sports performance is in the mind so if the mind is not focused on winning you become losers.
Then we have the chaos in the squad, and it’s not clear who is responsible. Is it the Sporting Directors or Baldy as well ? So who sent both our best defender and goalkeeper on loan ? Who sent SANTOS on loan when we were short in midfield given on going LAVIA problems. Who bought VEGA and KDH who aren’t good enough and froze CHUCKY out who is more talented ? Who is selling FELIX and NKUNKU when we can’t score and are too stubborn to get them into the team ?
We don’t develop players apart from certain favourites. Most are bought, benched, and sold. We hear that these owners are running the club as a business but that’s a failure too. There is no profit to justify the huge amount of cash that’s been blown away. Constant PSR issues show there is no accounting profit, and the cash flow over the past three years is negative. Almost every player we have bought is worth less and is being sold at a cash loss, including those bought only 6-12 months ago.
Players we buy are mostly not good enough to strengthen the team, and serious holes in the first team are ignored. It’s a team and a mindset designed to lose with no standards of performance, attitude, or consistency. Above average players no longer want to join Chelsea due to the way they are treated.
The team is getting worse not better and will almost certainly finish below where it finished last season. After spending a fortune we have a squad weaker than at least 7 other teams including NOTTS F and BOURNEMOUTH. How is that even possible ? Any normal person without mental health issues, given 1.5 Billion would build a squad at least above those clubs and on a par with LIVERPOOL, ARSENAL, and MAN C. That’s enough to buy 15 players for £100 million each. The scale of the failure is beyond belief.
We are paying big transfer fees like Man City but the club is being run under Brighton mode.
I'm tired of useless press conferences. It's so embarrassing turning this team to a mid-table standard likes of tottenham. This crap needs to stop.
i do agree with you, Captain GF, Chelsea must buy striker and goalkeeper to wins games.
We need to sell or loan: sanchez, disasi, badiashille, fofana (if he keep injured), and KDH
Need to be done:
1. Top goalkeeper or recall petrovic rn and see top goalkeeper market in the summer.
2. Top striker unfortunately we need one rn so, if we can like city splash that garnacho money for top striker like gyokeres or osimhen will be great.
3. We need midfield back up rn. We can recall either santos or ugochukwu or both of them if you want guarenteed back up.
4. Maresca must be brave to change things if not success. Ex: he can play palmer on the right, Nico on the left, playing with natural fullback not inverted one, or play palmer with nkunku or Felix.
