Up until our goal we matched them all over the pitch. If the players weren't good enough, we wouldn't have been 1-0 up.
Tuchel picked these players, Tuchel decided to hook every attacker and sit everyone in our box.
We have winners throughout this team with the likes of Kane, Bellingham, James, Stones, Rice etc. and Tuchel killed us with his cowardice, not for the first ime in his career. He's done this multiple times going ultra defensive and losing big games in the dying minutes. Unacceptable and the blame lies solely with the German. Get him gone.

I would be keen to avoid a major squad overhaul, particularly signing a large number of new players. In my view, the current group already has sufficient quality and depth to secure a top-four finish, especially with the benefit of playing once a week.
Players such as João Pedro, Cole Palmer, Estevão, Levi Colwill, Moisés Caicedo, and Reece James form a strong and promising core. Even in the event of departures such as Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernández, the squad’s overall quality and structure would remain competitive. Furthermore, a potential acquisition like Arda Güler—possibly as part of a deal involving Enzo—could help maintain or even enhance the team’s technical quality and creativity.
With the targeted addition of a CB & GK, this squad has the potential to finish top 3 and secure a domestic trophy next season.

The only thing that could save this club is a manager that has results and hopefully impresses the owners and imposes himself at the club on all footballing levels and slowly removes the influence of the Sporting Directors and becomes the main man on football matters. Hopefully it is Alonso, but first this means that the players he asks for this summer perform and second, he has a good season so he could earn the trust of the board.
It's the only possible way I see those clown Sporting Directors removed from the influence sphere of this club. If Alonso fails, I think we are truly f**ked.

I still have no faith in BlueCo but finally a real soccer manager arrives, and he's definitely one of the best...IMHO the best for us.
I'm sure that with him our Zombies who have been on the field lately will also come back to life next year.

I’ve asked my Madrid family and it sounds like Alonso likes to play 5 at the back with the FBs inverting to the midfield. She didn’t understand much his system, especially in midfield, she didn’t think that it suited their players in midfield. But there are things that sound good about his discipline. No late arrival to training or you’re out for the next game; players with yellow cards get subbed off, which will be great given our recent record on cards; and doesn’t like indiscipline in general. Vinicius was the one that initiated the player power play, but I don’t think that we have players with enough standing to confront Alonso as Real Madrid has. They think that he’ll do well at Chelsea.

I'm really excited to have Xabi Alonso as our manager!! 😁 Good luck! Blue is the colour 💙💙💙

So happy that he’s been named Manager and not head coach.

Always hated him and admired him when we played Liverpool lol
But hopefully he can sort these bunch of pricks out.
And if it’s true that he’s in full control, then I’ll be so happy.
Got my backing. Good luck Xabi.

So good.

Great appointment, let's hope we back him and get rid of some of the dross we've got.

Might as well start a new thread with Xabi Alonso about to be officially announced as our new manager.
For once, I'm finally excited about a new managerial appointment.

We kept them honest but we're just not good enough and seem to lack any chemistry going forward.
This squad needs a good clearing out in the summer.

Next protest announced for FA cup final day.
Against Spurs there is a plan for the fan base to turn their back in the 22nd minute and chant "we want our chelsea back"
That really should be "blueco out" imo

I said right after Maresca left that Fabregas must be the priority for the managerial role. Not only he proved with Como that he is a very good manager, but he is the type of man that will command any locker room in world football because of his aura. These type of managers are rare in football nowadays. For me personally the most charismatic still remains Klopp, but Fabregas is not far behind. He is incredibly charismatic and has that special feeling about him. The complete opposite of Rosenior or Arteta who look and sound like fools.

Fantastic Fans.
Cooprative ownership - owned by the fans - IF only we had that.

St.Pauli - you gotta love them.

To quote the operation mincemeat musical (you should all go see it, it’s the best);
“For when you need a moron to tackle a task
You call him a genius and he'll do what you ask”

“Chelsea paid nearly €3 million in compensation to Strasbourg in January to sign Liam Rosenior, and will have to pay about him €13 million to terminate his contract, which runs until 2032.“
For a 4 month role. Heads should roll in a normal business, but we aren’t normal.

Liam didn't lose the dressing room. He never had the dressing room. Ever. From the beginning.
These players (all players) are not looking for a coach with "potential" - they are looking for a Grown Up with experience.

The message I have from Chelsea is there's no imminent change on Liam Rosenior, and they still support him. This isn't a squad built for him, so there are some points to remember when it's time to judge him. They want to be in CL next season.

A manager needs total control over footballing matters including the ability to transfer list any player who’s not pulling their weight or are disruptive. Otherwise he has no power and or respect from the players.
We are run wrong, simple as that.

Until BlueCo are gone it does not matter who the head coach is.
I mean they don't feel the coach plays a key role in results anyway
