I remember when United had four strikers going into a season, Cole yorke, Solsjear, Sheringham, tevez or something like that. We went into the season with Nkunku, Jackson & Guiuiuiui or however, you spell the child's name. Everyone wants to piss all over Jackson because its cool to hate online but the fact is that we just never had the right tools going into the season. Broja was shipped out on loan and has been injured. We have a manager who refuses to use players he was given or inherited and has not improved the defence because he refuses to try other players or tactics that are now not working and have been found out. We have players in a bomb squad. We have players on loan outperforming players on our books, yet, a young man is shouldering the blame because he hasnt stuck the ball in the net enough times... And, even when he was doing it regularly, he was being called out by "fans" saying he's not good enough. If you wish ill on someone, it comes back to haunt. Well here we are, half way through the season and Jackson is everyones fall guy again, like last season, except he had poch ahead of him for being too spursy and not having enough tactics but had us playing much more entertaining football than Maresca currently has. None of this will change unless Maresca hits a winning run, or the board sell up, bring in players outside their redundant data method, or players with much larger price tags than Jackson actually start doing the job they're supposed to. Neto, Madueke, Nkunku, Fernandez, et all really need to score more or create more. They dont and that is one of the reasons we are in freefall and I say that because we're only one point off top four despite an atrocious run since December.

Potter and Emersn are going to conspire against us. James with the winner.

amazingly, the worlds most expensive keeper, Kepa, is still the best gloveman on Chelsea books.

Sean Dyche is available. (temporary) Edit i say this because I have no idea what Maresca is doing and is in the process of loosing the dressing room. We were on for top four, now were struggling to remain in the hunt for a return to the conference league. He really needs to turn it around.

What is an upside player? Is it a player who has potential to get better later in his career? If you have watched any football over the past few seasons you'll know Garnacho is a waster who isnt an upgrade on any of our current wingers. Jesus... Garnacho is a waste of money. In nearly three seasons at United, he has 13 goals, 11 Assists in the league. That's pants. Pants is another word for rubbish, rubbish is another word for trash. Garnacho is trash and if this transfer goes through, Im going to get his number printed on the back of a shirt with the letters "useless w**ker" on it.

James to score the winner.

If that's what you think you have seen, good for you. You do see the game differently to a lot of other people and that's cool. FYI. Latin Americans struggle to adapt to the UK weather, football, food, women etc... It's well documented by the players who have come and gone from South America. It's a well read book and not a box Ive put him into. I've not even bringing his off field antics into this. Im happy for you that you that you he can remember one match two and a half years ago he played well in and you cant point to any others in that time. I can count the number of games Enzo has played that he has been standout from the rest on one hand. They have come against teams in the bottom half of the league and cup games against championship and div one. IMO he has been arguably chelsea's worst ever signing.

Pointless bringing in another player who cant cut it in the premiership. Two wrongs dont make a right. It is what it is, Im sure the directors who signed Enzo also want him to work. I wish it did as it could be the end of the current manager in the summer. Enzo Snr hasnt been able to get anything extra out of Jnr like the Poch/Potter axis.

They can have all his quality. I hope they buy him for his quality, I hope they buy him for his elite passing, vision and goals. I hope he goes on to have a bloody brilliant career. but it hasnt worked out for him in the premier league. I hope we dont buy Garnacho to try and help him settle either. It was the same for Crespo and Veron - just couldnt settle or adapt to the country or league.

We'd loose the headache of keeping him at the club. We'd lose his fabulous ability to embroil himself in off field crap We'd probably gain a better player in return and lok a better team on the pitch as a result. If Real want him, make it happen yesterday.

just really glad to have him back and about. Put in a top performance last time out, lets hope that continues. Not that we have a manager capable of making formation changes, Id have chalobah, James and colwill as my back 3.

Dropped Madueke for James. Easiest ever fantasty football decision ive ever made. James if he stays fit will score and assist more than madueke between now and end of season. I love Jackson but my love for James is stronger. 😂 One love Mofos.

Im sure we can club together to fund the services of a man and van we can just put felix in and dump outside the San Sero. He wont look any more lost there than he does here.

I dont know about you but Mudryk was so bad not even performance-enhancing drugs worked, weve not missed him, do we need to replace him?

Every transfer window is April fools day with the lot in charge. didnt improve united, wont improve us.

Its do or die for Noni in chelsea blue. Ten goal contributions needed between now and end of season or I have no problem shipping him out to a mid table premiership club, which is where his ability curently sits. His attitude stinks... really, his ego is killing his career. Smug, self assured and arrogant is how I'd describe his playing style and he delivers very little on the pitch. So much so he had to take someone else's goal last night. Dumped from my fantasy team to be replaced by James this morning who is a player who knows how to patrol wing areas and will probably finish the season with more goal contributions than Noni.

Hmmm. Get all that, but I dont really give a toss about Strasbourg, lovely place and city in a beautiful part of the world... I dont give a rats toss about Strasbourgs PSR... I dont give a toss about our owers business empire. They are continuing to make terrible decisions for CFC.

He is a limited player in our side, but I absolutely appreciated the work effort last night. He looked out of place in the side, but his attitude is right and that's credit to him. KDH - aint no soy boy... got some minerals about him. will he still be here after January?

Club reported financial irregularities regarding Roman and transfers. Who is going to report CFC to police for money laundering? It is criminal to play 14 games and pay 20 Million Euros? Does this mean we're moving archie on for 10 million to pay for it.

Would have been James. But... In TC i do believe.

With the pipline of players through the academy, you can see from 11 years and up who will make the grade or wont so you can target top young pros to fill the gaps in the first team. James, Chalobah, Colwill, (including) Hall is an academy defence that means you dont have to spend 120 million on Desasi or Badeshile or Cucurella and could be spent elesewhere or attracting Vinicius type players. Just think the owners strategy was wrong from the get go and we're starting to see it play out at various levels now. Given most clubs now have pretty Stella academies, players are not selling for top fees anymore unless we pay them and the pressing game means players have to be more athletic than footballers and its easier to find those in club systems.

I'd welcome a recall if it meant we saw useful minutes from him. I simply dont get how Maresca isnt in charge of who comes and goes or is part of his squad when the players we've signed are all within the clubshouse rules. Chalobah is one of if not our best performing CB statistically according to this... Does rate Tosin higher in one metric... https://sports.yahoo.com/signing-trevoh-chalobah-compares-chelsea-135100837.html#:~:text=In comparison%2C Chalobah averaged 57.75,and Axel Disasi (44.44%). I simply cant fathom how Cilwell isnt allowed to stake a claim in the side and therefore increase his reputation for sale or improve the squad quality. So yeah, we signed a ton of players, lets start seeing if theyre any good, cause clearly the ones signed last summer are not good enough for maresca along with some of the high profile signings, Nkunku, Felix, Neto, Mudryk, KDH etc..

Just nudging this post... ☝️ A forgotten man who is now in the midfield of the saints and getting minutes. 25 Million for the guy and in an ideal world he would be competing with Lavia in our squad? Again, I couldnt understand buying him to not integrate him with the first team.

Funny, Forrest who are above us in the league signed Strasbourg Keeper Sells. roughly 8 million... senior at 32 but in peak years - was a fantastic upgrade for them. We then loan Petrovic to Strasbourg. You could say we strengthened a rival and weakened us with the move.

Again, this goes to the board. Was pretty miffed we let Poch go, team was on the up and the football was exciting, if not some of his tactics/ decisions strange. Said at the start of the season, evaluate at the end of it but top 4 had to be the plan for enzo, the clubs financial model is built around it. Enzo has until the summer but still hasnt resolved some of the underlying issues with the squad. Wingers not scoring enough, players out of form, unable to beat weaker sides, and our midfield and defence still seem really brittle, Enzo snr hasnt got the best out of enzo junior and the collapse in form over xmas is really unexplainable unless there's stuff going on behind the scenes we're not aware of. Anyhow. fingers crossed, we win tonight and start to get results and slip back into the top four.
