#2 Rudiger!!!
what a loss

#3 Alonso

Hope we can recover from this ASAP

#4 Cescy signing in. KTBFFH! We will bounce back because we are Chelsea.

Cesc gave many over head passes but none can't hold them like Morata

Even can hold but failed to score

Just watch English Barcelona.......

pep really is a one of best manager in modern football

3 clubs from different leagues he manage, all of them scoring for fun

Conte's last season here, can almost smell it already

Pep gets players that he wants, then mc is scary

Moses out vs roma

Many key players injured why willian didnt?

No worry, will see him vs Roma
Imagine 3 defeats in a row

Hamstring club with kante and morata

Willian anak emas Conte, jangan persoal

https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/...-solutions.html

*gives hint to Conte*

Bench Willian please

LOL
Wat 2:1 Ars

At least we are not alone in the gua

And we'll play watford next

This post has been edited by zoidx_chung: Oct 15 2017, 02:38 AM

KTBFFH!!

Ive never dismissed pep since 1st season. When we sack jose i was also hoping we get pep (bare in mind im not barca fagboi or tiki taka fans)

He always maintained his gameplay wherever he goes. Truly 1 of the best in d field.he is very calculus and particular on every single thing

Cukur MU and jose tak jd bid willian.

Haha..memang tak boleh brain..tangkal level ivanovic

0 meaningful attack initiate by him.

check in gua with gunner... lol

You're giving him a little too much credit. He can maintain his philosophy only provided that he spends as much to strengthen the squad. Pep has always gone to the rich clubs, like Jose does. So to say they are the best or legend is a quite a stretch.

It's not like he goes to Leicester and makes them the PL champion in a season. Throw enough of daddy's cash to the wall, even Roy Hodgson can play attacking football.

His weakness is seen last season when he concentrated too much on attacking football and defence cost them silverware. Again, throwing money to solve problems.

Kelab china xnak ke willian ni?

Come on jose, bid him in january!!

Conte is almost speechless. An easy game made difficult by the squad themselves. I don't really blame him but the squad. They are playing without any will to win.

Van gaal spent almost half a billion.

Rm galaticos era
Koeman got all players he want this season
And previous city managers didnt spent? Cmon.

Spending is a thing. Executing the same tactical to 3 different clubs is another thing..surely because he spent? And we are talking abt very niche tactic that not many teams in d world can copy.Alrite


Anyway its just my opinion. He still got the job to finish d line. I rate him because of that.

I agree with you on this part. Money doesn't buy you success, or tactical sense. Give Arsene Neymar or Messi he would play them as left back next week just to prove that he is the boss. Or he'll just bench them like he does to Lacazette.

Anyway my point is Pep's strength is attacking football. He needs extremely talented individuals to make his philosophy a success. He needs the likes of Messi, Lewandowsi, Muller, Aguero. How many clubs have that luxury? For his team to be successful, they usually try to out-score opponents while keeping the opponents occupied on defence. However, once his team faces a resolute defence that frustrates his attackers with equal attacking power, usually you will see huge scorelines. Case in point, Bayern vs Barca, Bayern vs Athletico, or even last season's MC vs Monaco.

Throw him to Liverpool or Arsenal and tell him that he has a wage cap or transfer budget, his tactics will stall. He is a luxury manager, a mould of modern managers that are expected to bring success immediately.

He will not build a dynasty, much less become a legend in any club (except maybe the old Barca) because as Man City has proven, money brings short term success, but brings no legacy.

Another season with the lack of silverware will see Pep being found out, then where will he go? How many clubs are ready to give Pep a blank cheque to sign two right backs in a season?

Because throw the money he can easily won?
Roy hodgson boleh buat?
Ranieri spent 100mils (which is huge at that time) and was replaced by the special one.

Van gaal throw almost half a billion.

Hughes

Mancini

Koeman this season

Milan this season spent almost 200mils and now sits at 7th.
Boom ..money is the solution.

Good coach is a good coach. And ranieri is surely the most wanted man in football rite now coz he won PL with lester..rite?

Pep and jose identify their team weakness last season and they reinforce their squad. Conte also identify our weakness but he didnt get players he want plus squad depth is not good enough plus too nice with underperform players in willian cahill. If we got jesus, rashford, think he will be loan out instead play. See what happen to musonda and christeansen.

I blame the board not enough support to the coach in transfer market

Morata injured, only got batsman and we knew he is better on social media, imagine if we got llorente...

Kante injured, no one can replace him zzz

Moses injured, not sure if Zappa can grab his chance

This post has been edited by zoidx_chung: Oct 15 2017, 03:59 PM

Throwing money doesn't guarantee wins.

But not spending money almost guarantees zero silverware.

Ranieri managed to bring Leicester to success. His achievement in my opinion far outweigh Pep or Jose just because of the difficulty and odds against it. But he doesn't even get enough respect or recognition in the end.

Or ask Diego Simeone at Athletico. How hard is it to break the Barca/RM duopoly in Spain?

Tell any top managers they don't have money to spend, who will come to you? Tell any players your team is not adding better players, they will immediately leave. Fans will revolt because they are paying for merchandise and seats, they expect to see players who can bring them success.

The whole world wants to see money as the demon, especially with Neymar's transfer. Next season you have Mbappe's 170mil transfer as well.

But they just smashed Bayern like potatoes.

Money doesn't buy success? Sure. Just ask Man City, Chelsea, PSG, RM, Man Utd, Monaco, Bayern.

Yup! This.

All are great managers. And these are elite managers that we are talking abt.

The support system (board) need to breathe the same gas as the manager so they can get the same objective.

Remember why galacticos era was always being criticized for failing "to grab all"

Board beli semua nafsu dia

Coach bkn nak pakai pon

1. Ranieri got the recognition and respect when he won coach of th year from fifa. For that particular year. Period. (Same award with faiz subri and ronaldo)
Is he one of the best in this era...ermmmm i will think twice.
Did di matteo one of the best in this era....ermm will think twice as well

2. I will exclude madrid..bayern and united to begin with as a respect.. These clubs are with amazing history la.

Kante and morata is really big lost to us

hazad please become the magician again. desperate time need ur magic again. haihz

Willian current shape only fit for italian league or lesser i guess...

Now that we know, our squad was much depend on Morata. Two continuous losses without 90 mins Morata.

Sorry to say but batsman is worse than Torres who pass his prime during in Chelsea jersey

Can we start to create a thread about the January transfer now? Losing to #1 and #20 team can be very depressing............

Mitchy is a supersub not a starter. If he is starter, he need partner upfront to help him.

he can play as a poacher. he cant deal with being a lone striker upfront. his movement wasn't good, and when he does move, its offside. 19 touches, 0 shots yesterday

Glad to see Morata back

Belotti signing a new deal with Torino. Can we sneak in with a bid? Lol

michy doesn’t possess physical attribute to be a CF...and he’s a bit lazy

This post has been edited by lyc1982: Oct 15 2017, 11:09 PM

he looks big and quite tough, but cant hold the ball, bad first touch as well.
might need another striker to partner with him to bring the best out of him but Chelsea dont play like that.

he is tall yes...but not as buff as costa or morata

and chelsea style is playing 1 striker up front, relying midfielders to assist...unless we can get griezmann (wishful thinking)

Michy shite. Period.

I don't know if this international thing or what but if some senior members not showing any interest in playing for the first team, our youngster are waiting around the corner with hunger and passion............

same pundits who didnt give us a chance last season and say Chelsea cant win the title.
they just playing the guessing game

super busy these 2 3 weeks, didnt watch the game and we lose. damn, MC is one fearsome team.

looks like our reliable striker only morata. that what board gets when they reluctant to spend. i hope next week we win the match. if not, conte will be in trouble coz u know i know board will always blame the coach/manager instead of themselves

with the way we are performing, i am leaning towards the same thought. last season, we lost only 5 games the whole season. now, we already have three. i don't mind losing few matches IF other title contenders is also not performing. but that is not the case. man united, man city and even spurs are firing on all cylinders and being very ruthless with their playing style. on our side, we struggle to get our tactics working. no need to talk about plan B because that does not exist.

another thing is that, i don't mind losing if we showed effort to get results. in this case, maybe luck not on our side. but the way we got a draw with arsenal at HOME, defeated by city at HOME and defeat away to palace leave a lot to be desired.

Nanti Conte start Willian again

I'd still give our team a shot at the title. Why?

1) We're at the same point as last season after same amount of game
2) Our contenders will drop point. Impossible they gonna just win and win till last match.
3) Anything can happen in football. Turkey scored 8, to cause Netherland who won the match not to qualify for world cup. So anything can happen, until mathematically it can't happen.

this 1 really wtf. why always got one anak emas who dont perform still start games?
Jose with Ivanovic
Conte with Willian

I think we'll sign griezmann in January when Costa is able to start for them..

Worse case scenario in the summer as he was almost signed if not because of the transfer ban..

Oh wait, posted in the wrong thread...

99%
Stay with us, in the gua

Rant of the year!



Listen to this fan on Willian & Michi. His rant is so funny yet so true!

we share the same sentiment...

even arsenal lost to watford...anything can happen as the ball is round

Cascarino: Batshuayi has no future at Chelsea

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino can't see a future at Stamford Bridge for Michy Batshuayi.

The board pandai-pandas bought him for 33m before Conte take over, clearly not Conte choice

Earlier i said...board need to have the same breath the manager.

Clearly he is not conte's choice. If he doesnt suit one man target striker type of tactic, why he is in d loop at the first place.

we always buy players without consulting the manager first..lukaku, kdb, courtois, azpi and all the talented youngsters around 18-24 years old..

because our scouting system will provide the list and DoF and board will decide.

even during our summer transfer board was pushing for Lukaku but because we refuse to meet the agent fees then only the board follow Conte's target..

Batshuayi looks like a lost soul as chelsea striker

In a way, is true.

The match with crystal palace, he got average or below average star from me.
He seem average on everything with not 1 special skill like killer instinct, fast, good position, dribbling or even strong header.

look like bye bye for him
Even I impressed with Zaha display
Maybe just swop with Bat might be better deal

he is a static striker not too sure if he himself realise this. It is clear that after a while thru training he didnt get what he suppose to do or rather do not upskill himself to suit conte's tactic

boring in gua, a rumor

knowing the board they will sanction the sale of alonso

sell then spend whole window chasing Sandro again.

end up getting pappyahqwoieqwhbjq

we make all the best deals *trump voice and hand gesture*

At current rate even half baked musonda look miles better than willian

i like Shaw, but he quite injury prone. he is also a Chelsea fan, so thats a plus. and British HG.
we'll see if Jose does us a solid

another striker is a must. even if not to replace Batshuayi, at least someone to pair with him. he is more of a poacher, so we need someone to play with him. at the very least.

Agree?

Vs Roma? Morata available

Substitute Morata first just in case his injury reoccur again. Don't rush him too soon.....

The truth is, cahill will start, willian will start.

Leceister sacks Shakespear

Leicester City have sacked manager Craig Shakespeare just four months after he signed a three-year deal to take the job on a permanent basis.

The Foxes are third from bottom in the Premier League and have not won any of their past six league matches.

Shakespeare, 53, succeeded title winner Claudio Ranieri in February, initially on a temporary basis.

After steering the Foxes away from trouble to finish in 12th place, he was given the job permanently in June.

Shakespeare won eight of his 16 games in charge last season, and led the club to the Champions League quarter-finals.

His departure follows a 1-1 draw with West Brom on Monday.

The last time Leicester went six league matches without a victory, Ranieri was sacked - nine months after leading them to the title.

Of their 10 matches this season - eight in the league and two in the EFL Cup - Leicester have won three and drawn three, losing four.

But they have won only once in the league - a 2-0 victory at home to Brighton on 19 August.

Their four defeats have come against Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.



Ruthless owner. They sacked their champion manager Claudio Ranieri and now his former assistant. Are they going for Carlo Ancelotti?

big no from batsman

Lol pedro did much more than him the entire game

Dont think Luiz and Christensen should start in the same backline. Both have the same style, it will overlap. The middle defender should be Luiz/Christensen. Either side of defender needs to be speedy. Coz middle defender wil move up and start attacking play, play long balls. So we need Rudiger / Azpi in either side. Which is why Cahill is always expose, he is not the quickest.

I would suggest Rudiger, Christensen, Azpi in CB next game. Then push Luiz to DMF to partner Bakayoko. Fab in a 2 man midfield just does not work. And since Willian is not performing. Go for 352 pls.

Azpi, Christensen, Rudiger
Zapcosta, Bakayoko, Luiz, Alonso
Fabregas, Hazard
Bats.

As bad as it is, Bats is the only backup striker that we have. We need him.

according to a chelsea fans survey, they hope

-cahill & willian on bench, follow by luiz and cesc
-christensen to replace cahill

batshuayi doesnt make run in behind.
same case a few games back when batshuayi started. no dangerous runs to move the defenders around
once sub morata in, defenders were all over the place trying to keep up.

ini dia Batsman's problem, in Chinese

LOL when i read 走位啦仆街. hahahahahha.

key take away,

1) Bats dont run into spaces.
2) Bats dont try to distract defenders or work the defenders. Meaning making runs to drag away defender to create space for Hazard / Willian. He don't do that.
3) Bats is slow, don't look forward when receive possession. Slow down play.

Bats really not in sync with the rest of the team, with Hazard, Willian and Pedro around, we need striker that will pull defenders' position away. Create space for them.

Good lineup, hopeful for a good result
Would rather Rudiger over Cahill though
