Yep and pure delusion. De Verbi is a tactical and managerial upgrade on Potter it’s not even debatable.

Brighton have been great today, totally outplayed Liverpool so far.

Not hard to do. Liverpool should never have beaten Leicester either, but the scouse had bags of luck that day. I know we are bad, but they are f**king abysmal too. At least they have a good attack. 

Well at least Liverpool are as bad as us

De Zerbi admitted that Potter's building of the team in regards to chemistry and play style helped him a lot. I think it's a bit silly to now undermine what Potter did there for the past two seasons. People were raving about Potter, including on here, about the good work done by him at Brighton. The same will happen to De Zerbi no doubt, until he has a fall from grace period and everyone will do the same to him. It's laughable.

We will soon enough next up after Palace I think.

 

Seems to be struggling badly at Everton. I wanted him out after he sold Tomori (criminal decision) but he didn't do an awful job for us at all. Top 4 with a transfer ban and helped integrate a lot of young players. I thought with time he could become a good manager but it's looking like he just isn't cut out for it.

The first season (before lockdown) I saw signs of a potential top coach but he had to see less of the greeness and the more of the promise going forward and unfortunately the opposite happened.

The football post the restart was dreadful and directionless, we got by thanks to Pulisic's purple patch then the Silva/Mendy novelty but we were on borrowed time unless he thought of something which is he sadly didn't (although the Sevilla/Leeds games gave some false hope).

You imagine he'll be out after that result. Goes to show again that you can go up too fast. He should have stayed at Derby instead of taking our poisoned chalice, even though I think he did pretty well all things considered.

If he took Derby to mid table or worse down to League One (both happened to them in the following years) he'd have never got the chance in the top flight let alone at Chelsea.

Think this season can’t get any worse? I actually want sp*rs to win tomorrow. Sometimes I hate this sport.

Although if the relegation places could finish exactly as they are that would be beautiful. 

Would also mean Potter has at least kept us up.

The best Chelsea sides had a bit of everything about them. We are so one-dimensional right now. We can only win one way and every team seems to have us sussed. I don't want us to play this sh*tty slow football anymore, I want a team that has a bit of everything about them, a team that can shift tactics and win a game with counter attacking football now and again, just like we used to do. This shift in our game since Sarri took over has been the worst football I have ever witnessed as a Chelsea fan. There have been a few high moments, but I want entertaining football again. We are so one-dimensional that even when we are losing 1-0 or it's 1-1 in the 94th minute, we still won't get the ball forward quickly, we will still try and slowly pass our way through.

It won't change under Potter either, even if he does pull a miracle and get us out of this hole we are in. His brand of football is almost the same as what we have been seeing for the past few years now. If there was one thing that shocked me under Tuchel, it was that he never moved us away from this type of football. I don't remember any of his previous sides playing like how we played under him. 

We have seen it under lampard and we are currently watching what happen if we try to play faster.

Yep. There's big doubts over Potter here but the constant downplaying of his Brighton work is beyond disingenuous.

Hmm they cleary do. 

When they signed de zerbi, everyone expected brighton to continue their path because de zerbi is quite similar to potter. 

Had to laugh their last loss was when they played Gilmour in a midfield two.

They look impressive just now and Trossard not even on the bench.

Also never expected to see Welbeck still making a difference.

 

This made me laugh 

 

what a comedy from Loris, gifted a goal to Arsenal

Everything is going Arsenal’s way, struggling to see how they don’t win the league from here.

lloris is the most spursiest player ever born. Man must have been born with a Cock birthmark on his arse or something

There isn't much difference between Kepa and Lloris, the difference is that we expect a higher standard and would never allow Kepa to be our number 1 goalkeeper for 11 years.

I can't remember if it was on here but i saw genuine discussion a few days ago about the prospect of having Conte back.

We shouldn't touch him again with a bargepole, he's starting to lose it (relative to his peak level) as much as Jose.

Was just thinking the exact same thing, seeing the way he's set up at home to their biggest rivals, its pathetic. sh*thouse management. 

f**k

 

over and out

Well Arsenal are winning this. Let's make it humiliating for Spurs please. 8-0 ft

Think all coaches, even the top ones, suffer some kind of burn out. Jose, Conte, even Klopp and to a lesser extent Pep at the moment.
