Exactly. We paid for potential. 
 

It is a huge gamble that could pay off in a couple of years, and see is dominate for a long time, or it could also easily end up destroying the club if most of them fail.  Time will tell.

5 games into the season is not the time for our "fans" to write us off. 

 

If the new owners have put the reigning Champions of Europe* in such a place that it may be "destroyed" if a bunch of unproven kids fail (let's say we give it a 50-50 then) then they will have earned every ounce of criticism and angry reactions that they get.

Fans have a right to be worried, especially on the back of the season we just experienced. So far it's looking like a repeat is somewhat likely and please do not tell me thats acceptable in any way shape or form.

*And a club that was built on huge success for over two decades. If it was their desire to tear down the foundations that built that success then they unfortunately have the right to do that as owners but we don't need to like it.

Half feel sorry for bohley bought a CL winning club spent a billion on players and can’t beat forest at home. 

He jumped on a bandwagon. Clearly has no idea about "soccer". 

MOM thread should be ‘fun’

I actually thought Jackson great movement was creating chances for Sterling before today. 

Mudryk 😅

Enzo should have at least 4 assists by now

And your solution is quite possibly the only striker in Chelsea history who went an entire season without scoring.

Genius!

No, but buy atleast a real 9 not a wide player or winger or 10. Do like Liverpool, Mancity, Napoli , Bayern, …

What is mudryk doing shooting from there does he think yates is Russian 

Poch hasn't helped himself today. Needs to evaluate during the international break.

Only the 3 relegated sides won fewer home games than Chelsea last season. Not much has changed 

Our recruitment has been awful, spending 100's of millions on completely unproven players. Enzo and Badiashile are the only ones that have been worth it so far

Chelsea FC...the gift that keeps on giving...

Agree. Really overthinking things and not playing to player strengths. Putting square pegs in round holes.

It's an absurd risk to take from the owners. There is zero chance of being dominant, not in this league, not with City around. There is a high risk of destroying the club though. If a chance of destroying the club was even a chance, then it's not a risk worth taking.

I don't disagree.  But we need to get behind it and not turn it into the toxic self entitled crying we saw from many under  potter 

8 minutes walk of shame

Has Enzo? I keep seeing this but he's done f**k all today. For a 100m midfielder I expect loads more

Somebody shoot

worried yes....
 

...but the self entitled crying we hear on here has to stop. 

This should be the final nail in the coffin for this formation. I really hope it is.

Since January he's been one of the leaders in chances created I'm pretty sure

Could have said 8 hours on that board. Still won’t score.

Absolut joke of a club!! 

One thing I’ve noticed about Jackson is he takes too long while controlling the ball. Defenders in the PL do not allow that luxury, hopefully he learns.

You know I would accept that Jim if you weren't still banging on about how bad Tuchel was near a year later. 

Glad I'm at a family meal and didn't have to watch this shower.
