1 itโs crazy the full match is on twitter now
2 ngolo kante and Thiago Silva were both more important than Kai havertz
3 this back line was insane
4 if this game was played 10x I think we win maybe 2/10
5 Tuchel was quite lucky here
A manager who has never coached a game in the premier league telling a champions league winner, 4th highest paid player, and 20-21 UCL league squad of the season selection he should leave before the 1st game of the season.
This should go over well
๐จ๐ต Ben Chilwell, set to leave Chelsea as Maresca has confirmed: โIt's probably better he goes and leaves and finds minutesโ.
โI love the way he is, the problem is that he is struggling to find the right position with us...โ.
Whatโs astonishing to me is you have this FULL clip w the Gallagher pass and a CUT clip of Thiago Silva taking touches.
There are a few things happening here I want to point out.
They sold him to Chelsea for ยฃ97.5m...I want to see the money because, to me, it looks like they fleeced us knowing full well the player would come back regardless.
Why did we pay a transfer fee if the player never intended to play for Chelsea? What'd we get? 3 months..?
Iโd keep Conor before Enzo or Caicedo. Take that however you want to.
Caicedo and enzo as a DEF pairing are run thru often by some very average pairings from around the league.
What I wonโt stand for is slandering the 1 player who gives everything for the shirt.
Ive realized by watching sky sports, bt sport TNT, NBC, CBS and any other channel is that if you didnโt play for Chelsea you openly hate Chelsea and constantly take the other teams side.
This is why nobody trusts you.
This is why we are so far behind.
This is why ppl say youโre a loser.
This is why you wonโt be our long term project manager.
๐ต Pochettino on Sterling: โWe need to support him, he's an amazing player. He has more than 10 years PL experienceโ.
โThe contribution was good. He was a little bit unlucky with some actions but we are a team and we need to be there for everyoneโ.
Honestly I havenโt felt this disconnected from the club before.
We keep buying Brazilians and random former players of the SDs and sell the players who actually have a connection to the badge.
At this point, our club feels like a private equity piggy bank, not a football side.
๐จ๐ต Omari Hutchinson to Ipswich Town on permanent deal from Chelsea, here we go!
Agreement in place for fee around ยฃ22m add-ons included, as expected.
Chelsea will NOT have buy back clause but there will be sell-on clause.
Exclusive story, confirmed. โ ๐
Julian has only been here 2 days and heโs already caught 3 matches with dad โค๏ธ feeling very grateful our boy is safe and healthy. He already has 3 Chelsea onesies ๐๐๐
@ThornasTuchel
All are quality, Iโm very high on Olise after seeing his performances last season. This palace team could be a banana skin in cup comps
Lets not get this twisted - we ALL see potential in Tammy but this is not a club of potential, this is a club of results.
Results don't care who you could be, it matters who you are on game day. Right now, results demand more than Tammy is offering; gotta level up.
Watch Gallagher. He pressures the first player to receive the ball from the goalie. That player rushes their pass, Cole intercepts and raz finishes.
This is why Conor plays guys. Judge his mistakes as harshly as you like but heโs a difference maker.
This weekend Iโm seeing Chelsea play in person for the 1st time after following the team for 16 years. Feels a bit surreal tbh - we tried to go the UK in FEB but the CWC cancelled our plans. Looking fwd to meeting more
@ChelseaFCinUSA
supporters in Vegas.
Anelka isnโt brought up enough as a Chelsea player and to me, itโs because he was around during the Torres and drogba years. The man was everything I want in a modern striker for Chelsea. Heโs always in the box poaching and making himself available.
AHAHAHAHA
#Martial
with a CLASSIC Dive there, unreal he's gotten away with nothing for simulation.
#MUNMCI
This United team literally think they can get a pen for any form of contact.
These footballers all live in london and are friendly with one another, I really can't be asked to be mad. He's friendly after the final whistle and not during the game, thats all i care about. Im not going to get mad at someone for enjoying their life and having friends.
Here are some different
#CFC
concepts for the 3rd kit that I thought could be better than the original. What colors do you wanna see?
#chelseafc
#ktbffh
Billy Gilmour is a good talent.
With that being said, comparing a 6'1" player with years of EPL experience to a 5'7" 20yr old who is just getting his feet wet couldn't be more different.
I thought
#HudsonOdoi
offered a lot after coming on. I love to see him and
#Tuchel
talking strategy after the game. We need everyone in this squad ready to play and contribute.
#MCICHE
When it happens to chelsea ๐๐
When it happens to others ๐๐
Iโm fine w it if it means we donโt get him anymore. Better than nothing right?
UEFA are reportedly reviewing the decisions made by referee Anthony Taylor in the Europa League final.
The English official is now at serious risk of missing similar big games on the European stage.
Watch
#Azpilicueta
in this clip
That's a captain right there. He steps in as the on-field manager and does what is best for the team. You agree on roles with the whole squad prematch, not on a whim during the game.
I think
#Fofana
is the real deal. He showed quality at Leicester and plays at a high level when healthy. I liked the vertical runs he made throughout. The set piece threat was also a new experience in recent Chelsea memory
The things ppl say they love about disasi are the exact things we were getting from Kurt zouma.
ยฃ29.8m - Zouma
ยฃ38.8m - Disasi
We do this to ourselves far too much. We sell an asset to re-sign that same player type for more expensive w less xp
Hate him, call him a roadrunner, say he doesnโt have it to play at
#cfc
, say everything you like.
He was better than more than half our starting 11 today and he put in the work today playing ppl in and pressuring wolves. Others floundered and got the hook.
OMG no. Please just no. no. no. no. Id rather buy a 31-year-old Danny Ings, Callum WIlson, bring Mitrovic back from Saudi, or buy Solanke back before I'd ever spend a cent on this guy. Whatever is happening with our recruitment and Brighton MUST END.
EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea could break British transfer record with move for Evan Ferguson. Brighton believe he is worth more than the ยฃ115m British record fee they got for Caicedo. (talkSPORT)
Thiago Silva is a great passer. If he is at the half line and no forest player is pressuring him. I want him to keep the ball and continue to take forward touches even if they are small. Heโs waiting for a better run and we progress the ball well that play.
I've had MANY ppl in my mentions tell me Slonina isn't ready; that's never been in doubt - what's in doubt is 25m for Robert Sรกnchez.
In 18-19, played in League two w/ 17 apps (46 possible)
In 19-20, played in Leagu 1 w/ 26 apps (34 possible)
This goal from Sarabi is insane, itโs one thing to have that first touch but itโs a totally different thing to smash it at full sprint into the net. Unreal goal.
He is now Azpiletico.
10 years at Chelsea, thatโs unreal. He played for the shirt and honored the fans w his efforts every time he crossed the touch line. We will miss his leadership and tenacity. All the best to Dave. ๐
Playing against 10men and this guy was offside, standing in offside positions, crossing under no pressure and putting the ball outta bounds.
He can run fast and strike a ball but thatโs about it. His in game analysis and ability to impact the game using his brain is abysmal.
#gallagher
was quite good today. His goal line block changed the game. If we go 2-2 there itโs a different game. To me, he looked more comfortable in wide areas w the ability to run, press and generally work in bigger spaces. Him connecting w RLC was interesting.
Im stoked for yall to see these once they are in
#FIFA22
on the players, it just gets better from here! I'm gonna make 1 more for a yellow/black variation.
Seeing this Iโm still bothered that we retained kepa and not edou. One was easy to move on while the other nobody will pay his wages, I get it. But it just feels wrong keeping the one who, imo is not the better player.
Andre Marriner was absolutely horrific today. Weโve come to a point in the game where getting the ball but then taking out the player is not accepted. I do not know how you can see this happen and do nothing. Youโll review a bad free kick into the wall for handball though ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คท
Next - Gallagher wasnโt good today. He just wasnt. But cutting the clip to make a play look like something it isnโt is just dishonest. He turned into space and played forward, thatโs what I want to see from him. I donโt have an axe to grind w him.
I didn't name
#Pulisic
or
#Pedro
because Pulisic hasn't been playing or available and doesn't usually feature on the right side.
#Pedro
will likely be leaving this summer due to age and decreased opportunities.
Watch this. See how many times he tackles, intercepts and immediately shifts that play into instant offense.
It's absolutely unbelievable that a player in his first games back since AUGUST is already playing at this level.
