  1. Reece knows what it means to be a Chelsea player you can the disappointment in his face proper blue big up Cucurella as well they don’t deserve this

  2. Reese doesn't recognize this club. He was being honest in this post match interview. Him not playing in his preferred position and his interview some weeks ago that was taken down he made it clear. Tuchel was and will always be the best manager he has worked under. He has had enough from the owners down to the coach and even most of the players

  3. Maresca’s turned Chelsea into Sideways FC, bottled it against Legia and Ipswich, and now he’s blaming the fans — sack him before he tanks the whole season.

  4. I've stood behind previous recent managers, certain managers more vehemently than others but I just can't get behind this dross, I've tried. I've never been more disconnected in anticipation to games. Watching Enzo-Ball is just dreadful. No passing patterns, no triangles, no third-man runners, no counter-pressing etc. It's the usual "U-passing" around the opposition box until we eventually lose the ball then run back in a state of panic and disarray. Every time a team attacks us we either concede the goal/corner or fortuitously get the ball back in our own box through no volition of our own just opposition play breaking down.

    Sure, Poch is not a top-tier level manager and isn't tactics-driven like some but he was the manager we needed right now. Someone with a track-record of developing a young squad, which we are from top-to-bottom. Turning a burgeoning yet misdirected Spurs team into consistent EPL and Champions League contenders is no small feat, even the likes of Conte and Mourinho failed to do. Young players are extremely volatile and don't need to be stifled so early on in their development which is killing our expressive nature now.

    Yes, most resented Poch-Ball for being haphazard and chaotic, which it most certainly was, however the team was fit and lethal. Definitely wasteful at times but the chance creation was bountiful unlike now. Admittedly we lacked a sound structure and conceded a lot, however on an attacking-front we were very effective and just needed some fine tuning. We'd be able to maintain wave-after-wave of attacking, systemic pressure right up until the final whistle. Every time we streamed forward we were threatening regardless of the opposition team. Chelsea were developing that identity of being a dangerous, pacey attacking outfit, fast on the break with youthful vigour. Dynamic, hardworking and exuberant. Defending aside, we were scoring multiple goals against the likes Arsenal, United, City, Newcastle etc. We'd go toe-to-toe with any team and sustain the fight throughout the game with our high-energy approach. .

    Once Poch learnt from his errors and started players in their correct positions (albeit a bit late in his tenure), we actually started improving, not regressing like what's happening now. It's not revisionist history or selective memory, fully remember the painful moments we had endured which were fewer than these past 4 torrid months.

  5. Marc Cucurella if you guys can't beat Ipswich at Stamford bridge how are you going to beat Fulham who can beat any team in the premier league on their day like they did beat Liverpool a week ago….Chelsea have a very difficult run of games weather in the conference league or in the league
    Chelsea are gone from here for me from this point not because we can't but because of Marescas lack of experience and not being able to tinker well

  6. Legia Warsaw did everything Ispswich town did…only that…and Silva of Fulham will do that in the weekend…it's only Maresca who don't know how best to play against Fulham
    Fulham have an easy game ahead of them playing against the most predictable team and the most idea less coach in the premier league
    Chelsea can beat any team without Maeesca who have gone to the mode of Potter of this time of 2022

  7. Goncalo Feio may be an unfamiliar to the wider world of football due to his touchline career that very much remains in its early stages.
