Official Thomas Tuchel *Now Sacked*
It's not remotely close. It's better than 15 of them at the most. Good enough to have beat Leeds and Southampton. But if you think this team has enough goals in it under any manager to compete with Kane/Son/Richarlison and Kuluveski or Jesus/Saka/Martenelli and Odegard over 38 games you simply don't know football. We can do fine in cup games but over a league season smaller teams will sit back, we'll fall behind occasionally and we just don't have the fire power to break them down or change games. Where are the goals or the attacking options for Tuchel? The only top quality attacking option we have has just scored his 3rd goal in 2 games.

How can you blame a world renowned successful captain when most of the crew have never shown the ability to sail in their lives?

Pulisic was unbearably bad under Lampard aside for his 3 week purple patch post lockdown. In the 29 league games we played prior to lockdown Pulisic had scored in 3 of them and had 2 assists. It's a myth he performed well under Lamps, people just remember the 3 weeks he looked good against not match fit defenders many of which had nothing to play for and hyped him up all summer but his standard level that season was as poor as it is now.

Kai Havertz
Day 750 or so of Kai being at Chelsea and I've seen nothing to suggest he's a generational talent. He's a sh*thouse and does a few nice things. But he's a significantly less talented Richarlison and I'm pretty confident he'll never start for a team that challenges for league titles in his career. He's a squad player, but a £80m generational talent he isn't.

We've lost our best defender in Rudiger. Lost our 4th best defender in Christensen. Our 2nd and 3rd best defenders in Silva and Azpi are both past their prime, Silva is still quality but Azpi is done. And our keeper has regressed dramatically. Our starting fullbacks and midfielders are regularly injured. We won the CL based on our defence, Pulisic, Ziyech and Havertz have been abysmal since the day they came to English football way before Tuchel. Our attack was terrible but we were solid. Now the defence isn't solid we can't keep clean sheets and these Bums aren't capable of scoring the 2/3 goals a game it would take to win the match.

Christian Pulisic - Official
Sick of people talking about his playing time. He's had far far more minutes this season than he's ever deserved.

How can you not blame the players? You saw Pulisic when he came on. How can Tuchel be blamed for players having no natural talent or basic ability? Someone giving the ball away every possession because he can't dribble or pass I think Tommy got a lot wrong today, you simply can't start Azpi and a 37 year old Thiago Silva on the same side of a back 4 and he's going to come under pressure but the lack of talent in forward positions is clear for all to see. If Tuchel goes you'll see it under the next manager just as we saw it under Lampard.

It's Tuchels fault none of them have a shred of talent or technical ability.

3 foul Pulisic has made trying to dribble past a defender. Losing the ball and just dragging him down.

He's come on during one of our worst performances in years. And immediately looked worse than every player on the pitch. Lost the ball every time he's recieved it. Lost the ball dribbling in no mans land and got booked. It's actually incredible how he manages to limbo under whatever low bar our performance sets.

He can't play on the left either.

Pulisic is genuinely the worst attacking player I've seen wear the shirt in over 2 decades. If anyone ever asks why Havertz and Mount are still starting this is why.

Pulisic coming on always sounds good until Pulisic actually comes on. 4th time this season he's came on and vanished the second he got onto the pitch.

He's literally the worst player in the league in open play. He's a menace at set pieces though.

Southampton v Chelsea (PL) Tues 30th Aug 2022 19:45 GMT
Well we won with 10 against Leicester. Throwing Pulisic on could be the catalyst for our comeback.

And thank god he did Or we'd go down.

We're so bad tonight I wouldn't be disappointed to see Pulisic come on.

Going to resign Barkley at this rate.

Southampton v Chelsea (PL) Tues 30th Aug 2022 19:45 GMT
Extremely happy. He said he wanted to go to a team where he's the main man instead of being in and out the team. And no one in this squad is half the player he is.

Frenkie De Jong, not a rumour but apparently for sale
We're so poor and our midfield is do injury prone De Jong is going to get himself offered a 500K a week salary here if he waits until deadline day.
-
Wilfried Zaha
Another goal for Zaha today. 4 in 4 games for him now. I genuinely think the squad is in such a poor state we have 48 hours to save our season, we simply need reinforcements and Zaha would make a great addition. Zaha, Gordon and Neymar have already scored 14 goals this season between them. It will take the whole season for our frontline excluding Sterling to score that many.

I honestly don't think he's fine in a back 3 At 6th choice maybe but with Fofana in, Chalobah in reserve, Reece and Cucurella being able to play there I'd rather we just trusted a younger player. Rather than try to desperately hope a player who's legs have gone can offer anything at all while we pay him 180K a week for 2 years. This summer was the perfect time to end it for all parties.

We should let Azpi go on a free to Barca before the window closes. His legacy is going to take an absolute battering if he stays here another 2 seasons. Massive shades of Ivanovic at the end.

We're playing last Mourinho season Ivanovic at right back next to a 37 year old in a back 4.
