MyWord- Rubbish, on the basis you forgot the only bugger who hit the back of the net, Nkunku.  :biggrin:

I'd probably accept it if it were a bunch of quality players with a proven elite manager. But here we have a bunch of mid-table to championship level players being guided by a manager who is only famous for doing the gacon test. The PL is a very tough league and I don't expect most of this lot to survive 3 years.

I agree @Nick05 and I think we are lucky that there are three worse teams than us in this league as I can see this going close with this weak bunch and appalling set up.

 
… and in case it can get any worse, Havertz is almost a regular starter and playing a vital role for the team who might well win the league!

 
Didn't expect anything else. Colwill at LB, standard. Disaster starting again. Jackson still starting. The guy  is clueless. He hasn't got a clue.

Have the players regressed from potter to poch? 

Not really sure

No the point I made was that we would sign players that on paper and at previous clubs were fine and they would look great at the start with us but as they got into our "system" they just got worse. Felix for example.

 
Today's starting XI cost £222m out of the "£1 billion" spent by Clearlake.  £14m for the goal keeper, £65m for the defence ; £23m for the midfield ; £120m for the attack (LOL)

£422m on the injury list. £237m on the bench. The rest is out on loan. 

 
I reckon Nkunku will be like Palmer. His quality alone will stand out, but in this dysfunctional team it won’t amount to much. 
 

Just like his cameo today. 

 
Wolves were sh*te and played the most basic football - punting crosses into the box - and we still conspired to lose.

We'd be doing better with Allardyce or Warnock in charge rather than this disorganised rabble.

I don't think it would make much difference who is in charge as long as they are expected to play a lot of these expensive flops. I actually think we would look better playing some of the academy kids like Gilchrist, than some of the rubbish we have signed.

You obviously haven't been following our U21 side this season then LOL. They are 14th in their league (out of 21) and got spanked 5-0 by Oxford in the EFL Trophy, so out of that already !

Allardyce and Warnock for all their detractors would instill a defined pattern of play  and discipline into the squad, not that I would advocate either for us. Allardyce to be fair became more the manager he is via the clubs he managed and played a more attacking game when he had players like Okocha, Djorkaeff, Anelka, and Campo at his disposal.

 
Petrovic - looks okay but completely out of his depth in dealing with crosses. Yet to be convinced he is a step up from Sanchez,  just knew not to mess around at the back.

Gusto - again I am still yet to be convinced. Small, lightweight and prone to touch and control errors.

Disasi - can't believe that we are looking to bomb off Chalobah as he is not good enough, with this guy as the answer. Immobile and again far too error prone.

Silva - excellent but father time cannot be stopped. Love the guy but the fact that he is playing week in week out should put every other player to shame.

Colwill - I'm still yet to see what all the hype was for. I'm not totally convinced of him as a CB yet, as he is still just a kid learning, but he is well short as a LB.

Ugochukwu  - can't say too much against him. He's a kid learning so should only be getting games here and there. Did okay today. If Pochettino's set up wasn't so sh*t he might have been a solid foundation. 

Gallagher- tried his best, played out of position and could have been sent off again due to Mudryk appalling pass.

Palmer - tried, but with the blatantly obvious lack of coaching and pattern work done in training, developed no chemistry with any other players and so was constantly getting in each others way.

Jackson - hahahaha.  I remember seeing Craig Fagan when he used to play for Colchester in League 1. Ringer.

Sterling - unbelievably frustrating player. This guy's propensity for friendly fire could make him a US army General. If Poch does end up at Spurs perhaps Sterling can go with him, because to fck up 3 on 0 is the quintessence of Spursyness. 

Broja - another lad who takes mythological abilities when he is not playing.  Miles off and definitely needs a loan just to see if he is even good enough.

Nkunku - too good for an unstructured,  disorganised, Poch and team sh*t show of a set up. Coming from Germany I bet this dishevelled organisation will be a culture shock to Nkunku.

Other subs - meh.

Another defeat for our U23's team created by the board.

Nkunku did well though, he's more threating half fit than a fully fit Broja and Jackson.

The board have got some serious thinking to do in January, do we continue with these limp attackers and go for mid table safety or do we address one of the most obvious problems in top level football that a team with money has got and give ourselves a chance of possibly winning a cup or even sneaking into a European position.

Nkunku hasn't come to the Premier League to be the same level as Wolves & Bournemouth.

The directors of football at this club need to earn their money and explain in layman terms to the board members why just randomly buying youngsters doesn't give you immediate results without more experienced players or preferably Premier League experience in the mix.

Merry Christmas all!

Isn't this the directors of football speciality though? Wasn't this the very reason they were employed and aren't these generational talents the ones they have fantastically unearthed.

I doubt Boehly could find his ar$ehole with a mirror, let alone some fantastic Brazilian third division superstar ready to burst upon the commercially retarded premier league

Yep, this ownership is intent on a root and branch dismantling of everything that is Chelsea. Women's team next. Emma's going, fcked that up. Sam Kerr signed a new contract yet. These muppets truly are killing our club. Cancerous. 

 
WhiteWall said:
Actually it wouldn't surprise me if in two months he is down to the level of the rest of the dross here. I mentioned it under Potter and got caned for it because of the poor way I worded my post, but definitely the fitness work, the patterns, tactics and strategies we do in training, if in fact we do anything, seems to make our players deteriorate. I think this is valid although I agree that we would not intentionally do this. It comes from this relentless and ridiculous approach of not using players in their area of strength but trying to shoehorn players into other roles.

That's a concern.

But In fairness to Nkunku he was actually a quality player before we signed him unless most the crap we signed and decided to pretend were top prospects.

So Clearlake have managed to ruin the academy too. Presumably they will move their magic on to the women's team next.

Which of your so called expensive flops have you allowed to play, you prefer Sterling, Jackson and Gallagher to them. 

Enzo and Caicedo didn't play today, so which "expensive flop" played today? Now you even don't want another manager to come in to help the team. 

Caicedo is clearly a top player, Enzo is clearly a top player, Palmer, Madueke, Mudryk and Sterling will all make a good team with a top defense supporting them. You say your cheap players like Gallagher is very good, they keep playing and the team is not doing well, instead of removing these people and supporting your real players, you say your expensive players are not good.

None of our expensive players is a flop. Consider what you write before you write it.

I don't think they've been entrenched long enough to have had much effect on the academy one way or another. Bum crop of under 8s in 2013/14 most probably to blame !
