This sums up my dislike for modern football managers.

There are two obvious questions here. Why are so many managers convinced that a single idea about football must be right, this sense that there are indeed eternal truths in the universe, and that these involve slow buildup play and/or the use of wing-backs? And more widely, how have Chelsea walked into this contradictory state of affairs, the party club, a casino made entirely from fireworks, which then considers it sensible to appoint Martin Luther as manager.

Looking for logic from this version of Chelsea is probably pointless.

I was thinking this the other day, football managers call themselves principled for having and sticking to their philosophy.

In what world, professional, relationship, personal growth does not being willing to change, adapt, listen, learn, make you principled. When are any of those things considered good??

Oh the modern day manager. The word idiot comes from the saying ‘I heed not’ . In other words someone who won’t listen.

Our manager is an idiot.

Does anyone know if we still have the set piece coach ??

Because if we do he’s f**king useless!!!

What ever happened to that inspirational rugby coach we hired too? Seems like he has made zero impact.

He killed himself

This useless bastard is so far past his sell by date he should have a yellow sticker on his forehead.

Who can actually header a ball in this team though? Our best aerial threat is at Villa.

Only Big Trev! Possibly Tosin! That's all there is!

Looks like we are sticking with the manager.

The culture of the club in the Roman era was to kick out the manager as soon as there is a bump in the road. I am hoping this culture changes. We need stability in managers with the young squad.

I have said for many years, stability is fine, as long as it's the right person. Maresca is not the right person. You could stick me in charge for 10 years and get loads of stability, but we'd probably get relegated.

Will you be happy if we stick with him for 5 years and we're still in the same place we are at the end, struggling to finish in a European place, placing slow, boring football?

I too would expect him to show more...

We are playing terrible football due to a manager who is so limited and stubborn that he refuses to change. Where exactly do you see any advantage in us sticking with maresca. This man is taking all the creativity and life out of our players. You only stick with a manager if there are upsides, or a proven track record. There is none of these things with maresca.

He needs his goals at Chelsea!

THIS TEAM ARE SETTING RECORDS UNDER THIS C**T

LOST TO IPSWICH (THEIR FIRST WIN AT HOME IN PL FOR 23 YEARS)

LOST TO FULHAM AT HOME (THEIR FIRST WIN AT STAMFORD BRIDGE FOR 45 YEARS)

LOST TO LEGIA WARSZAWA (FIRST ENGLISH TEAM TO LOSE AT HOME TO A POLISH TEAM)

TODAY.....

Football London

Maresca could be about to do something no Chelsea manager...

Chelsea take on Fulham in the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon

AS JOHNNY MINERALS SAYS THIS BLOKE TALKS SOME CRAP, OBVIOUSLY ON THE PAYROLL

The fact that he is a young manager makes it worse for me not better or understandable,he should still be learning. He acts like he knows it all, like his proven methods shouldn’t be questioned. The arrogance is astounding. The football is terrible and it’s everyone else’s fault.

The SD ‘s should never have hired him. He never had the CV for the Chelsea job. You don’t learn to drive in an Aston Martin while telling everyone else their on the wrong side of the road.

Martin Samuel summing it correctly:

He’s still around then I’m out.

No European football next season. We will sink like a stone and drop the conference league.

Players are making it abundantly clear they will not perform for him.

His ability to make players look like they've never played the game before is unmatched.

They literally have no idea what to do. Pass around at the back then hoof it long to no-one. Pass it out wide then no-one move or support the winger so it goes back. Aimless. Hopeless.

Out run. Out fought.

The SD's and the ownership have a hell of a lot to answer to, but this f**king guy is making things even wors.e

It is funny how now fans start to appreciate the job that poch did for us last. Even @dkwwill probably take poch back.

Last year many criticized poch tactic or no tactic. Maresca ran a 343 box inverted magic tactic that many wanted us to run, it was working when everyone was healthy and on form but when injury start to creep in and Palmer form start to fall off, everything collapse. As I said many times, player >>> tactic. Manager job is to get the best out his players not to play whatever pep is playing.

I think it's going to take one more season of absolutely abyssmal performances for the board to sack Maresca. I have resigned myself to watching this crap for another season.

63 points and/or 6th position to exceed what Pochettino achieved last season.

That's the metric Eghabli and the SDs said was unacceptable.

The clock is ticking, Enzo....

Or is the key metric being how good a yes man he is?

There is no chance I am sticking around another season to see more of this sh*t. I don't think the home fans will either, it will be record low attendances.

Are any of the fans on here thar chanted. 5 months back, "we've got our Chelsea back/ oh Enzo Maresca"?

If so do you feel a little bit silly now?
