Omg the new fans thinking Mourinho was a boring coach again, this comment is a perfect tell of who didn’t watch us in 05.

Mou quite literally birthed terror ball in the Prem and used every sort of tactic at his disposal to gain an advantage and waste time. He also won everything domestically multiple times over and still called out the soulless match going fans for creating absolutely no atmosphere inside SB. You're straight up lying if you're going to pretend like he was playing some liquid football that had the fans roaring. The quotes are there for all to see.

The same geriatric fans that turned on Maresca from match week one and feel like it's some sort in that denotes you a true fan for wanting everyone and everything out. It's a cacophony of contradictions from drones that are stuck in the matrix. You don't actually want to win or understand what it takes to win consistently.

Its okay that you never watched Chelsea's Mourinho during his first stint, you've made it abundantly clear from your posts about OG wonderkids from 5 years ago that you're young. I'm not going to hold it against you for not being around back then, but please don't lie on our greatest ever managers name.

The general consensus amongst fans is that 80% of last season was the most boring and dull football we've seen played at the Bridge. Maresca had us score 64 goals over the season. This imaginary boredom you've invented under Mourinho had us scoring 70.4 goals on average over his 5 full seasons. He only scored less than 70 in a single season.

You might not get over much from Canada but its well known that Liverpool's home atmosphere is dogsh*t in the league. You probably see the speakers blurting YNWA before kick off but then you won't see the 90 minutes of silence that follows it on Youtube, St James' Park - great atmosphere. Selhurst Park - surprisingly good atmosphere. Make a trip over to Atlantic to see a few games and judge it on first hand experience - Stamford Bridge is pretty flat, so is 90% of the league.

You can't get away with parroting lazy narrative with me, sorry.

We scored 73 goals in 14-15, the season where Mou famously called out the ever-lack of atmosphere at Stamford Hut.

We created 73 xG this season and suffered a ~9 goal under performance.

This is due to having Cole Palmer and nothing else as opposed to peak performing Costa / Hazard / Fabregas + Oscar & Ramires & Willian as attacking depth.

Maresca would have actually created far more with that at his disposal considering he essentially matched the creative output with vastly inferior attacking talent at his disposal.

We were second for big chances created in the entire league, and second for shots.

A lot of you are quite literally trapped in a matrix where you've been forced to believe that control = boring = negative when this past season was not only our most consistently attacking but also defensively limiting football since peak Tuchel and with the youngest squad in EPL history.

When the goals stopped coming reliably Maresca flipped how we approached games and 1-0'd us in the UCL without having to revert to petty tricks like that amateur Pochettino building his entire set-up around a no skilled dog like Gallagher and constantly subbing out attackers for defenders to attempt hold on for leads at the 75' mark because his understanding of the game was that defenders on the pitch = more defensive solidity as opposed to the genius savant Maresca who superiorly understood that CONTROL = suffocation and tactical submission for the opponent.

It's just humiliating attempting to even defend the atmosphere at SB, historically a library. Zero chants, zero culture, zero songs besides the classic CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA or "we hate totnum"

But it's easier to blame a first year manager and groan at your own players because it's feigns the appearance of standard when it actually reveals a lack of class and culture within the club.

But you're going to learn to love Maresca because he's Clearlake's guy and he isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Jesus H wept ...

The easiest addition to the "ignore" list I'll ever do !

Defending the gaffer at this club = a crime to dinosaur individuals who consider themselves lovers of Chelsea. You are toxic.

Such backwards logic and I'm glad Clearlake has made you uncomfortable. It's a new era, and what little relevancy you believed you had has been full muted.

Be a good fan and do what little is required of you and back your manager or your players even when it's uncomfortable.

That's what it means to be a proper fan.

Look at the state of these fans. Players deathly terrified of what's supposed to be representing them in the stands. Chalobah and Sanchez playing erratically and with zero confidence.

Remember when Caicedo said he enjoyed playing away from Stamford Bridge more than playing at home? Should never be the case. Would we have won the CWC with this atmosphere and support?

Majority of our fans would prefer to bully their manager and players instead of rallying behind them and being the 12th man on the pitch.

Worst atmosphere in the league bar none.

Spamming Maresca prop in this thread. It shouldn't be a crime or be made to feel wrong to support your manager and wish the best for him.

Instead we should be alienating the freaks that booed him 30 mins into MD1.

Laughed at and mocked him as a “championship manager” and actively challenged his football in the grounds.

Meanwhile he secured UCL football with only Tuchel in 21/22 achieving more points in the last 6 seasons.

Til the end gaffer.

We scored 71 the season before without Costa or Fabregas. Ramires, Willian and Oscar were work horses (similar to Gallagher and Mount who you hate) and not creative geniuses so not really relevant to the point.

Google the definition of a big chance created and you'll see how nonsense and subjective it is. Saka missed half the season and created the second most 'big chances' last season because he spams crosses and corner kicks all game.

How can you claim to supoprt a club that you've evidently never visited or watched live? Supporting Chelsea for you is no different to being a Game of Thrones fan and getting excited for the next episode each week. Go to a game, cheer on the team, do more than the bare minimum to 'support' a club you chose on Fifa.

I'll give you Willian, but woof. Drawing parallels between Ramires and Oscar with Mount and Gallagher should be a banneble offense. You're exposing yourself.

We still had far better attacking options back then.

Hazard >= Palmer

Torres & Washed Eto'o > Jackson & Nkunku

Oscar > Madueke

Willian <= Neto

Schürrle & Ba > George & Sancho

Our attack was abysmal this season and there was a massive lack of quality all season long.

I do agree with you that Big Chances can be fugazi and statpadded by set pieces, but we were dominant in attacking metrics across the board whether that be Big Chances, Chances Created, Shots on target. We were top two.

In terms of Cole Palmer he was also top two for essentially every creative metric. 2nd for chances created.

2nd for big chances

IDENTICAL expected assists as Salah, but 10 less real assists. He had no help. The system created chances but was lacking dire quality.

I feel like it's harsh to blame the manager for this. He's turned us from our worst ever PL defensive season under Pochettino to a top three defensive record in the league, and he's created a system that appears to be working in terms of expected stats and chance creation. The next phase to elevate this unit would be simply an increase of talent at his disposal.

That's where hopefully Xavi Simons and Joao Pedro come in. I'm bullish on Gittens and liked what I've seen from Neto as the season has gone on.

Just what we needed on the forum, a gobsh*te with a hugely ungrateful opinion of his own self importance who just posts stats and moronic takes copy and pasted from websites.

Not had one of those for ages 🙄

Fingers crossed it’s fixed him like it’s somewhat fixed James.

Opta supercomputer has us doing worse than last season.

4th but on 64 points.

Opta Supercomputer prediction for 24/25

The model is biased towards consistency and against momentum. Means it doesn't fully account for teams putting together a run of wins or losses.

If we can even slightly avoid what happened Dec - April, we'll finish higher.

It depend on whether can we get 80+ points next season.

That ex Liverpool player who never won the League yapping his gums again about us!!!

Carragher is a massive Chelsea hater. He has this 80's-90's view of Chelsea and his own club. He totally discredits everything we did pre-Roman and in Roman era. But that is his problem. We consistently beat him and humbled him when he was at this peak. He probably couldn't handle it mentally so he's blocked all those negative memories. He probably talks about Chelsea with his dad and they just go on about Kenny Dalglish and old Pool legends. Sad.

I really hope we start to hit the heights with this new and exciting squad so we can shut his mouth once more.

He basically just admitted no one cares about the club World Cup unless Liverpool are in it. 😂

Never won the Prem.

I’m fairly confident he’s best remembered for being sat on his arse by Zola and spitting on a fan?

Absolutely irrelevant opinion and bloke.

This

His issue with the CWC was Liverpool wasn’t in it. That’s all it is, he’s got his kiickers in a twist because Liverpool wasn’t in it.

Even going as far as saying they need to change the rules to have Liverpool in it.

Scholes too is a knobhead.

Mikel needs to be on there so those two dimwits get pushback instead of Rory f**king Jenkins.
