So your main fear now here is every poster uses AI for the text? 🤣 I am pretty sure most people haven't used it nor find it sensible or useful. I am pretty sure this place is safe. 👌

Last time this worked at Chelsea? Maybe under Jose. Conte and Tuchel used what they had and played players out of position which was massive gripe for fans. That was due to changing managers every season and not having an idea of a player type or a playing system. Not saying this is now better or all these things are though out but this is nothing new to Chelsea. Why we won things is mainly due to Superior resources and idea of bringing in top top Managers.

It is context. Which to me fits perfectly here. You don't agree, fine. The times were different as well. Football has changed, competition is on a different level and so on. That team was a brilliant counter attacking side which still raised the talks Roman wanting to play Tiki Taka and many fans if I remember correctly felt the same way. We kicked out Jose and Carlo out when the team was still on top, Roman wanted more or something different. Those were the days people here always come back to when talking about the expectations for the club being all time low when we only want to finish fourth... Anyway I think I got my point across about the style and it being subjective.

It could be. The drivel between me and some of the posters here is pretty boring and repetitive. Nice to have something else here for a change.

Inews, bbc, metro, forbes, talksport, thesun, footyheadlines ... Why is it irrelevant? ChatGPT crawls through much more material in matter of seconds than the entire theshedend.com and doesn't really have tinted eyes on the matter I believe. Anyway it is basically interested to use AI here because the way we talk here is so loaded with feelings and prejudice. And that is the way it should be in a forum. But to me it is interesting to bring in an "outisider" here.

I thought Chelsea is about winning. So which is it? Our football under Jose and let's say in the Champions League 2012 was far far away from being evertaining and yet we talk about those times as the best times. If you can remember the times with Jose for example the narrative was we are too defensive, Roman wants to play Tiki Taka and so on. The matter of entertainment naturally is subjective. Yesterdays game against LA to me was a professional showing and a bit rusty. We did the job and kept LA away from dangerous areas. I felt if La scored we'd find a way to win it anyway. I agree we are not raising people from their seats but we are not sacrificing the results either. The football we play is far from finished but the corners of the style start to show. If you score 5 and play like we did I think no one can criticize the style.

He has said multiple times he only plays football he knows. So it not up to him to fix that. The club has agreed to hire him under this knowledge. We have the summer window to fix these holes in the team. I like Gusto very much and he is great as a left back but inverting seems a bridge too far for him. He is hit and miss and unreliable with the ball in central areas.

So who was it?

Dario. Nice to see him feature

Gusto needs to adapt to this football or he will be out.

Enzo!!

Cole skied it

No. They just got every woman of the world watching this. And a couple of lads as well.

It is though timing American sports for Europeans. This is probably the best compromise in terms of the time. If this was 2 hours later I wouldn't have watched it

UCL is not the best teams and nor is World Cup. I think at the point of last 8 only very good teams are there. In general sense though I agree. Would be lovely if there was a league like that. It would be Super!

How is that a yellow?

Neto!!!!

Classic Sanchez passing to himself ricocheting from the opponent

Anyone back at States can explain the empty stadium? Atlanta not a good place to visit? Our group least interesting?

Love the way LA approach this game. Plenty of space for us

I think the pitch side presenter said the people have come. Not sure what she meant.

Nice to have Mikel in the studio but there is a lot of commercials with this free plan. Expected of course.

I think Jackson starting is the expected choice. He deserves to start and it is also easier for Delap to come in from the bench.

I think we will start with most of our starters. Depending on how first half goes second half we will use all the available subs. Sanchez James Tosin Colwill Acheampong Caicedo Enzo Neto Palmer Noni Jackson
