My biggest fears over Poch:
- Tactical acumen
- PL possibly evolving past him
- Mentality
- Giving priority to roadrunners instead of technicians
- Possibly deepening our identity crisis
- Not contextualising with the environment
- Homegrown getting promoted undeservedly
From being jobless to being crowned a Champion of Europe with NINE clean sheets kept in 12 games.
The excellence in mentality and ability of Edouard Mendy. 💙💙💙
Cheers to everyone who suffered when TT was sacked, who backed him strongly and still loves him.
Cheers to everyone who knew Potter was always mediocre, had nothing in him.
Cheers to everyone who didn't swallow the PR pill of Lampard's return.
You have a great brain. 🥂🥂
Thierry Henry said that Pep at Barcelona would tell the players something along the lines of "the manager's job is to send the team to the final third, then it's all spontaneous."
This quote encapsulates my thoughts. We have a generally basic bunch of attackers who struggle...

EVERYONE NEEDS TO PUSH FOR THE BANNER AND EVENTUALLY HIS RETURN!! WE NEED OUR IDENTITY BACK!! IT'S A CRISIS OF IDENTITY, NOT A CRISIS OF RESULTS, BRING HIM BACK!! CMON GUYS, LET'S SAVE OUR CLUB!!
@CFCPys
I watched Sarri's press conference yesterday and he never attacked Kanté in any part of his words. He only said that Jorginho or Cesc fit more to the holding midfielder role, while Kanté is fitter to play the Allan role. English media love to light up fires in vain.
Marina is the key reason we are stuck in this mess. Boehly has done his job by showing his statement of intent. He can't control Raphinha's and Kounde's ways of thinking.
Marina wouldn't have allowed some of these disgrace to happen. Boehly and his people must have learnt one or two things about football transfer market in Europe this summer. Learning process.

YouTube channel. The show is called "Frankly Fridays with Helgi and Dan" and its first episode is today, at 1 PM UK time. Your support and presence is massively...
A special appreciation tweet for Kurt Zouma. A player who showed once again his value by putting a composed performance, both aerially and on the ground, against one of the most physical and rapid-on-the-counters team in the league. That tackle vs Palace becomes at least...
In my opinion, Guus Hiddink needs to be massively more appreciated. A very classy manager who did a great work in both occasions he was here, especially in the first stint, when he could have easily delivered a CHL. Outplayed Barcelona in their own way. Respect!!
My first ever away Chelsea game!! Massive pleasure, massive fulfillment!! Hope the other Blues have enjoyed it as much as me! Blue is the Colour in the San Siro!! 💙💙💙🔵🔵🔵
Blaming Tuchel in retrospective for subbing Kepa on is peak lazy journalism. You either are against it beforehand, or shut up if it doesn't go to the plan afterwards.
People who want Sarri out are completely based on emotions, temporary feeling and heart is dominating their brain. I love Frank more than you can think, he is the best English midfielder of the modern Era, but it wouldn't be a good idea at all to appoint him now when...
UNBIASED: Pochettino's job at Spurs has been really impressive. It's a very rare achievement to reach the semis without signing any player for two windows in a row. In addition, he eliminated a Man City team which is building an empire under a scholar of this game like Pep...
Don't use ''American Willian'' IMO. Pulisic is 20 years old, has a very long path in front of him, has shown very good dribbling before and has produced impressive finishes, too. Obviously, he isn't at his best at the moment, but Sarri would provide him the conditions to succeed.
Thoughts on the game:
- Kanté MOTM, scored and applied the pressure perfectly.
- Jorginho is fundamental.
- Normally still work to be done, but very happy with David Luiz and Rüdiger.
- Better from Alonso and Willian.
- Impressive from Morata - the hold-up play and physicality..
When Willian used to start only through the benefit of being a workhorse and scoring some occasional goals here and there, he was seen as a virus.
When Mount does the same + contributes in losing two cup finals and underperforms criminally until the dismissal of an elite...
THREAD: Why Callum Hudson-Odoi is a PIECE OF GOLD for us.
NOTE: I want to pose a topic, a debate in this way, so please I feel free to discuss every type of opinion. Likes, RTs, comments appreciated.

This man deserved to lift that trophy more than everyone today. Played the youngsters when it was very crucial, showed tactical intelligence, limited City's occasions at max. and above all, dealt with Kepa situation in a very classy way. Please
@ChelseaFC
...
I have a question:
Why are people calling for Ampadu to replace Cesc when:
1. His natural position is CB, the position where he performs the best.
2. Sarri didn't even play him as a Regista yesterday, but as a RCM.
📝 Regarding Chilwell:
He was my first-choice LB from the early stages of the season up to December. Then, after I watched him against City and Liverpool, he didn't convince me and I had a similar impression about him against us in the FA Cup, too. Anyway, let's see the...
It's a personal opinion at the end of the day, but tonight's game strengthens my already long-term point of seeing Kai as a 9.
His style of play upfront represents for me an example of the universality a CF must have in the modern, sophistaced context of the game.
Taking...
I may be going against the tide, but I don't think Graham Potter should become Southgate's successor in the NT.
He is a project manager who has achieved this quality of fluid and as it seems, productive football in terms of results through consistent work on the training...
THOUGHTS ON THE GAME:
- Impressive performance overall, high tempo, quality pressing, decent win for the feeling.
- Pulisic, Kovacic and Barkley played very well, the first could have even scored in a couple of mmoments while the latter seems more comfortable and creative...

Didier's return at the club as a striking coach would be such a massive move.
It would guarantee a bright present and future for the strikers, would improve their eye for the goal and athleticism towards the ball.
In addition, we can have some quality scouting here for...
You can't believe how happy I feel for Callum getting his first Premier League goal. I have followed his development constantly since he was at the academy teams 2-3 years ago and have talked to a lot of people in my country about him and his potential. Hopefully he will keep...
Tuchel got his tactics in one session, an evening before playing Nuno's Wolves who were a banana skin for every top 6 side. What has Potter done in 5 months? We have clear structural issues, the distances are huge both laterally and vertically, can be easily hurt in transition...
THOUGHTS ON THE GAME:
- Kovacic MOTM, a joy to watch 😍, breaking lines, so tidy on the ball, creative, intelligent, energetic and of course, decent at ground tackling, getting the ball back and defensive contribution overall.
- Kepa's save in the end deserves big, big credit..
Tuchel was immediately appointed after Lampard, he didn't need thousands of interviews to convince people, he came and he conquered. Simple. This interview process seems a farce, there are generalising because of a specific, and that specific is a loser like Potter. Incompetence.
I respect and rate Potter, but can't say that the fact we are going from a UCL-winning manager to a manager who hasn't competed in UCL before doesn't disturb and concern me.
@Blue_Footy
Potter was never in Top form. Potter was a style-no-substance manager who had constant runs of 1 win in 3 months before his surge in April-May 2022. Let's not sugarcoat the reality and let's tell the facts straightforwardly.
Watched the second half of Lyon - Man City and have constructed some opinions:
1. Mendy is very good offensively, quick, combines well and contributes massively, but can solve some situations much better defensively. Will watch him again. An interesting player.
2. Ndombele is...

@JennGranneman
The inital step. If that is superated successfully and I find the right vibe with the person in question, I may talk very smoothly. But it has to be forced by the other person or the circumstances, I struggle to initiate a convo myself with sb new.
...while we don't have anyone in that mould (expt Sterling). It's not a hyperbole, but I stick to my long-term opinion that Tuchel turned 💧into 🍷 by winning a UCL comprehensively with an attackless side.
He has to be rewarded. Sterling is a step, we need at least another one.
Ancelotti was considered a finished manager after failing to impress at Napoli and losing an enormous number of home games at Everton. Yet Perez returned him to RMA and he is being highly regarded again. Environments are key. No one will convince me Tuchel is tactically inferior.
Ohh Jorginho is magic,
He wears a magic hat,
He could have signed for City,
But he said no f*** that,
He passes with his left foot,
He passes with his right,
And when we win the league,
We will sing this song all night.
One of the most intelligent players of the decade. 💙💙
@WeAre_TheShed
@TTuchelofficial
Could you guys use the crowdsurfer in the next home game please? It's not disrespectful to Potter, we need to express our recognition to an unanimously popular manager who was sacked so harshly. The owners deserve to know bluntly how we feel.
Tuchel was given the mighty Kenedy in a January transfer window. He has no right to ask for depth when he doesn't use this R.Carlos clone. No other board in the world pulls off such breathtaking moves. His signing was a legacy defining moment and we aren't making the most of it.
We drew against this Burnley team. With 10 men. For a whole half. Nearly lost even. At Home. Their manager was sent off too.
We lost to Liverpool's babies. In a cup final. In a shamefully shameless manner.
We played garbage and drew vs Sheffield Utd.
We deserve nothing.
THOUGHTS ON THE GAME:
- Pulisic MOTM, wonderful pace, adjusting himself brilliantly in the right position, getting away from the marker and scoring two very composed finishes, decent link-up as well.
- Happy to see Barkley's shape in this pre-season, more dangerous, better...
I'm starting to think that a lot of our players may be good enough to play elsewhere, but don't have the IQ to play in our system.
Pedro is ageing, Willian keeps the ball too much and this is totally contradictory to our system.
Eden should play the ball faster too, can't...
Thoughts on the game:
- Morata - MOTM, two great first touches and finishes, should have scored the third, but still was mentally in progress during the game
- Jorginho was the second best, patrolling the space and distributing perfectly
- Rüdiger contributed v well in attack...
