That “tic tac” summer was so annoying

That “tic tac” summer was so annoying

Not for meeeeeeee

They were ALL WRONG

 

[d3si]

De Jong refuses to leave at all. Chelsea and Leeds had an agreement. Yet the player wanted Barcelona. PSG are happy with Kimpembe. And he isn't gonna trade Messi, Mbappe and Neymar for our front three

 

[Verde Shuttles]

3/4 vs Paris wasn't too bad, knocked them out, won the final at their crib, got Tchouameni

 

[tomdiginson]

Some of the Chelsea man claimed we were making things up. Well, the news is out. He wanted Tuchel out. They wanted to build a football team with strictly algorithms that could be wrong. Talk about disaster.

Wouldnt be surprised if we get an All Or Nothing Chelsea next year.

Yeah, that was their plan all along

It totally sucks. What's done is done

I just hope Potter does well

Boehly wanted Tuchel to run with a 4-4-3 formation

Random youtube voting seems to agree

I told mans that they had their guy in mind. 5 years out the gate. Tuchel should look to Turin. His defensive style will work there. Plus it's a project that he would get to have his say in.

That could very well be the case. But Tuchel and the squad made it easy on them by not performing. Not just in the past 6 games, but over the last 10 months.

But if we had kicked off this season stronger, they would have no legs to stand on. We’ve even been terrible in the matches that we’ve won. The only match we’ve looked good in was against Spurs.

He did not receive any of the transfers he requested, so he's playing with players deemed inadequate for his system. Would you expect a BBQ pit master to be able to make grade A BBQ if he doesn't have a grill and the charcoal he needs? Instead, you give him a sauce pan and convection oven and then when he gives you some okay BBQ, you are surprised and disappointed? Tuchel came in and won a champions league using a team built for someone else. And instead of bolstering him, you tell him to do it again. And when it doesn't go as expected, he catches the blame.

They made strong moves for all of his targets. Raphinha’s fee was agreed & they were willing to agree to terms with De Ligt. Both players wanted other moves that they considered childhood dream moves. You can’t blame the owners for that.

It was widely reported that we were willing to meet Barca’s valuation for De Jong & pay his wages, plus what Barca owed him if he decided to leave. They were willing to overpay for Kimpembe too. Both players wanted to stay. Again, they did what they could do.

After that, you have to move to alternative options or then everyone complains about a lack of signings and squad improvement.

I would feel differently about it if they didn’t make a genuine effort to go after all of the alleged primary targets of Tuchel’s. But that’s not the case.

heard Boehly tried to go in to a meeting and Tuchel told him "men only"

[Sinner]

Let's go!

Is it burnout from keeping that same pace/energy for years now or something else?

burnout definitely a factor, people seem to forget to mention they literally played every game available last season.

back line is thin, midfield even thinner.

but performances like this aren't exactly new, we've been run over a few times before.

should be interesting this weekend. I expect Wolves to get some goals, we've been pretty giving when it comes to slump breaking past few seasons.

 

[cs02132]

Ooooh whooaaaa ohhh dun dun da dun
Lego head with a different line up. Curious to see how turner does in goal and viera at the 10. The boy from Brazil at rwb

 

[El Argentino]

Yes, I think Liverpool is burnt out. But Klopp will never be fired. If anything ever were to happen, they'd mutually part ways.

It's all bad at Chels.
