Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

West Ham having to push for a third goal was an issue for their defending, but these dudes couldn't play out of the back and their keeping is horrendous. Jarred Bowen was killing himself to push into good spots and win fouls, and other than Zouma being a threat on set pieces, he had zero help.

It doesn't help that Newcastle has a bunch of backs who can make line-breaking passes and mids and forwards to run at you in waves. They made a quadruple change halfway through the second that was unfair.

Yo. I think I'm really liking this Todd ownership of Chelsea.

Boehly out here thinking he can help them tank for a better draft pick this off-season.

Roy Hodgson gets sacked by Crystal Palace… gets reinstated years later.

Kinda different cos Hodgson wasn’t sacked. He left at the end of his contract in 2021.

Pulisic about to get some PT now

Can't wait to go to the Chelsea forums and read all the whining over there

Tbf most fans are in favor Lampard having it until the end of the season.

That touch and finish

Big Body Benz turning up on Barca

Like skrrrrttt

 

[Roberto Firmino]

my team sucks and i hope they dont qualify for the CL and there is a huge clearout...

Clear out is coming either way but we don’t need the hedge fund having any excuse for not investing what needs to be because of a lack of CL money

glad Carlo realized needs 3 attacker to play vs barca. Helps Benz rounding into form, only wish is have tchou out there instead of kroos.

Time to mention camavinga as one of the top young players in the world. He puts masterclass performance at LB and CM.
I’m sure if his complexion was lighter and his hair was shorter the media would be raving about him more. He’s level above gavi

Lampard will stumble across a few good results, bag a 3 year contract and get sacked before Christmas

My brother @SCORCH deserves that

From Roman Abramovich to these people. Oh my God

They’re bringing back someone who was an utter failure at Chelsea and even worse at Everton. When we have two world class managers right now freely available

You see that?

That passion?

I have had goosebumps since the news broke.

The Bernabeu won't know what it hit next week.

Talk soon.

They've said that the interview process for the full time manager vacancy will take weeks, and I assume you don't want that Bruno bloke to be in charge for the rest of the season, so Lampard as a stop gap makes sense. He has a better record than Potter at Chelsea, some of the players are familiar with him, and doesn't come across as a lame PE teacher.


Naglesmann/Enrique/Poch/whoever ain't coming in until the summer anyway.
