Heh heh. Mbappe. 😂 That's one heck of a wishlist.

We need clinical finishers. Or at least one. We have none and that's why Everton beat us last weekend.

Yeeeahhh. How many times have we heard this. If Ratcliffe disrupted the process, what makes you think another mystery bidder would come and stop the process again?

CHO was very promising under Sarri...that injury changed him. He's not the same anymore. So disappointing.

Yes it WILL. Because the fans will continue to be disappointed, angry, frustrated and the board would know the season ended in a sour taste. The one season we finished 4th (just about) and had no trophies - we actually went to the market and spent some money. It's just a shame it was under a novice coach. City 6-0 and Bournemouth defeats was the SAME season we won the Europa League. THAT'S why it didn't happen. That EL win gave these crop of players a lifeline. Look around you pal. Everyone is talking about stopping Liverpool and I'm not a Chelsea fan because of it. Not because it's for the supporters. You're the only one who brought this up. It's SOMETHING and in a short term of things I'll be happy we beat Liverpool and we have a FA Cup. I acknowledge that. But I've seen this story before. What happened when we last won the FA Cup for example? Did we spend to fix the GLARING problems in the following window or just sign Jorginho? Seems that they don't. Winning isn't guaranteed I agree 100%. So it's very tempting to win this FA Cup. But I'm seeing my club degrading and winning it is not going to stop the rot. I want everyone to be reunited including the board to say this squad ain't good enough. You could be right, it may not happen but it will certainly NOT happen if we win the FA Cup and I have to PRAY that Azpi, Alonso and co. say that their time is done and leave us.

No it's fecking not. This is why you guys have a small mentality. You are behaving like a Spuds fan now. How about this. Liverpool fans are currently dreaming of winning the quadruple. WE should be dreaming of winning the quadruple! Why aren't we dreaming of winning it. Because our squad is fecking crap. They have let us down year after year, downing-tools, giving up in the tough times bar that ONE CL run. And you are giving them a lifeline yet again. Don't be surprised if this squad lets you down against Pool in a few weeks time. Look at what you're doing. Dreaming to stop Liverpool instead of dreaming of our own destiny. Showing your hatred for a rival over looking what's best for your own club. It's no different than Mourinho fans a few years back who would die for Mourinho over his well-deserved sacking.

There's a huge difference between hoping to lose and not caring FFS. I don't WISH for my football club to lose. But at the same time, I don't care if we win it to stop Liverpool from winning the quad. That shouldn't be our main target or our goal. We are not a fecking small club. But people like you are the problem though. Instead of seeing where I'm coming from, you and others are just pointlessly having a go at me saying I'm not a Chelsea fan blahblahblah because Liverpool are after the quad and you wanna stop them. This way of thinking is SO narrow-minded. Even if we beat Liverpool, they can still do the treble. We can't stop them from getting that. And on top of that, fans and the board will use the FA Cup win to say, "WE BEAT POOL! THESE PLAYERS CAN BEAT POOL IF THEY PUT THEIR MIND TO IT!!" Bigging up Alonso. Bigging up Jorginho. Bigging up Werner. Bigging up Pulisic. Bigging up all these players. And it's same old cycle starting again. Next season TT will be the sacrificial lamb when these players stay. Because we will fall even further behind from the pack. We have seen this before, so don't say it won't happen. Especially if Todd comes and thinks we are good enough because we beat Pool in the final. And guess what? Liverpool will go again to win the quad next season. We will not be good enough to stop them. I want these players fully exposed. Fully naked, so we can get new and better players. Even if it's from the academy. Win the cup and these players got some clothes on. So please. Look at the long term of things.

Yes I do call myself a Chelsea supporter. But I like I said to you, I look at the bigger picture while you look at the short term and short term stuff is degrading our club. Yes I was saying that when Chelsea were on top at the beginning of December. I wish I was here instead of the other forum to prove it. What I saw up to December wasn't sustainable. Our defenders were scoring the goals for us, while the attackers weren't. Once Chilwell and James got injured we collapsed like dominoes and the goals dried up. We cannot rely on Chilwell and James to score goals for us. We cannot have another season of Arsenal (and other clubs) running wild against players like Alonso and Jorginho. They need to be exposed fully so everyone knows these players need replacing. I don't want another season with these crop of players. And winning the FA Cup increases the chances of them staying.

Hahaha! Gold. A month ago someone said I’m a Chelsea glory hunter. Now I’m not a Chelsea supporter. Made your fecking minds up people. I mean, if anything I can say you (and the others that liked your post) don't care about the future of our club. I look at the bigger picture, instead of the short term that YOU are looking at. Winning that FA Cup is going to paper over the fecking cracks and not expose the sh*te that we have. I’m sick and tired of the same old story. We win something, and everyone including the board thinks our squad is fine. Roll on next season with them. When is the last time we won something and then the following window we bought a number of players to improve our squad? Anyone? It’s going to happen again if we win this cup. I don’t care about beating Liverpool if it’s not going to expose the crap that we have. We are not going to beat Liverpool anyway so whatever.

This is why I don't really want us winning the FA Cup. Papering over the damn cracks. Overhyping these players. Enough with the CL stuff. Let's be real - none of us last season expected us to win the thing because on paper the squad ain't good enough to win it. Look at the performances outside the CL last season. Poor. Average. Including from Azpi.

I don't want TT gone, I'm just putting it out there just in case people misinterpret what I said. I'm just saying there will be talks in the media and amongst fans about whether we should sack him because there's no improvement on the points board, and finding ourselves sucked in to the top 4 race yet again. It's not a good look if we finish below Arsenal. It really isn't and a shameful display. And that's why I said it's not entirely TT's fault. In fact, he's one of the least problems. The common denominators of why we can't go above 75 points in the last 4 seasons + this one are: The board and the players. We have a mixture of Conte, Sarri and Lampard players. It's a complete and utter mess. Some players are brought in to work on certain systems, they can't cope with TT's. Alonso is primary one of them. He's too slow and can't defend. The two players signed under TT, aren't even TT players! Or the players that could work in his system with trust. And whose fault was this? The board's. Marina and co. You know what? I'm thankful for RA and what he has done for the club. Always will. Always a legend to us. But I think it's the right time for him to go. Ever since our title win, we have been completely off challenging for the league. Nothing is getting better. We won the CL last season (which lead to the SC and CWC), but like I said earlier if we didn't win it, we would have gotten 2 trophies in 5 seasons (assuming we lose to Pool). That is a dramatic drop-off. Arsenal won as much trophies as us within that range if that was the case. And people say Arsenal is not on our level. ===Also, keep in mind it's not about the trophies as we are not entitled to win every season. It's just the MANNER.=== The board failed to back TT after a CL win. Why didn't they? Because just like the fans, they were blinded that this team was going to do bits this season. It's not good enough. The players are not good enough for TT. He's been putting on a band-aid on these players and it's now all coming off. And the board have not been making smart decisions. I was angry when we only brought in Lukaku last summer. Because these players were not good enough under Conte, Sarri and Lampard. They are not suddenly going to be good enough for Tuchel. I know COVID and injuries happen but City never had their games cancelled and worked through that bad period. This also means our squad depth is a complete farce! That drop-off in December was way too much and it's going to happen again NEXT season if we don't do anything this summer.

Henderson is the captain and is more consistent than Mount in his performances. Klopp loves him as while he isn't a special player, you KNOW what you're getting from him. At least a 7/10. Henderson will not be benched for Mount. Mount's way too inconsistent and his mentality is weak. And no Liverpool fan will agree with you.

Imagine if we find ourselves in the same position we are in now...but didn't win the CL and no transfer of ownership. TT's job will be seriously on the line here. There will be talks of sacking him, and it's not entirely his fault. Finishing 3rd isn't an achievement anymore, because I'm now looking at our points tally. We are no different from the last 4 seasons. 2017/18 = 70 2018/19 = 72 2019/20 = 66 2020/21 = 67 Current = 66 Even if we finish 3rd, it's a terrible league season. Because we finished 5th in 2017/18 with 70 points. We are on course to just about beating that. Chelsea need 6 more points to guarantee top 4, so we are looking to equal the points tally of 18/19 season...the season we also finished 3rd. We failed to close the gap between Pep and Klopp yet again which was the target for this season. Next season, finishing the season with round about 70 points may not be enough to get 4th anymore. Basically we haven't improved. We are the same Chelsea since 2017 who can't go above 75 points in a season.

The league is a marathon, not a sprint. You can be 1st all you like in the first two laps, but on the final lap that's when it gets very serious. And we can't do it. I'm not counting Rudi as he's outta here. Don't see him as a Chels player anymore. Silva, Kova, James, Chilwell, Mount and Kai...ok yes I see them on the bench. But you are overestimating Mount again. Mount will not be in Pool's starting XI.

We made too many mistakes in the last number of games to make me think it's hard to cut it out. It's about mentality. You can't just cut it out just like that as well. It takes time. All it takes is ONE mistake and within that mistake we get punished. Then it's an automatic game over. If we can't do it against Everton, what chances in heck we have against a free-flowing, press-focused Liverpool side. We have yet to beat any of the "title challengers" this season. And even if we beat Pool, it will not stop them from winning a historic treble.

Erm, what's different between the Carabao Cup final and now? Chelsea performing worse. That's it. You can literally post your post a week before the last Carabao Cup final and it's the same thing.

International games are much slower in pace, hence why these players perform better. Move all those players you mentioned to Serie A and they will bang 20 goals a season.

Ziyech and CHO need to leave too if I'm completely honest. Kante as much as I love him, we have to start thinking of shipping him out. Mount, if Newcastle wants him for £80m we should sell him too. You also forgot Bats, Bakayoko and Drinkwater but I expect them to leave immediately once their contracts expire (Bats should have GONE but the board extended it feck them, hopefully Boehly sacks them) A lot of these players are simply not good enough. It's not just their performances I'm looking at. It's their attitude and mentality. Most of these players' attitude and mentality are weak, hence why I don't mind for example Mount leaving. The inconsistency of this man for example is unreal. I'm not having the "he's young" BS. Should we give CHO, Sarr, Werner, Pulisic the benefit of the doubt as well since they are "young" too? Nonsense. They played on the highest level for years now. You should see an upward projectory. The attitude and mentality of these players is the reason why we are limping now to CL, just 3 points ahead of Arsenal. We shouldn't be losing to Arsenal, Everton and drawing with United. At all. Because they are Champions of the World now, they think they have done it all. No you haven't. Our CL win while in the short term was magical and amazing for the club, long term it's damaging us. Because that's why the board thought we only needed Lukaku last summer. We were blinded that this squad is good enough to challenge City and Liverpool. We are FAR off the pace. Most of our starting XI can't even be on the bench for Liverpool or City. That's how bad our squad is. I want that FA Cup, but if winning the FA Cup is going to blind the fans and the board yet again with "Mount's 10/10, AZPI 8! Pulisic is 9!!" BS...then for the goodness of this club long term, we have to lose the FA Cup and break the record of losing 3 FA Cup finals in a row.

Yeah if you think Gerrard is going to attempt to destroy Liverpool’s hopes you’re in denial.

Lukaku’s worse mate. He does very little on the pitch. It’s not going to be good for my mental health (lol) seeing Lukaku play for 90 minutes. I’d rather look in to our academy and get in a forward then play Lukaku. Can’t get any worse.

The season needs to end. Clearout is needed bad. These players have shown their true colours. I will not be surprised if we dropped points against Wolves. Useless bunch of crap.

You know I wanted Willian to leave so badly the last 4 years he was here. But our attack has dropped so badly in quality, to the point yesterday we would have looked better with Willian still here. That’s how bad this is. Also sorry but I strongly dislike Lampard because what he did to Tomori. Un-fecking-forgivable. I liked Tomori and he got rid of him. He would have been perfect for a Rudi replacement. Now we are in limbo.

I didn't see much of a difference between Thursday's performance and today's. In fact, Thursday's game was 10x more embarrassing, considering United have completely checked out and gave us the spaces to do whatever we want. And we still couldn't finish them.

That was different because at least then we didn’t have players who have their minds elsewhere. And even then they still almost bottled that whole season. And lol at “sucking off opponents”. Liverpool are two classes above us. So are City. Play City 9 more times in that CL final and we will lose at least 7 of them.

Same thing can be said about the Carabao Cup final. You are giving this squad too much credit. We won’t beat Liverpool. They are on a stellar run and a well oiled team with passion, fight, spirit and heart. We literally have first team players including that £100m piece of crap who can’t wait to leave our club. No chance. Chelsea Women on the other hand are the shining light in Chelsea right now. They are absolute bosses.
