Other games (2024/25)

Everton players letting him down even though he's at Chelsea I reckon

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Actually think he’s lost weight. Unfortunately he’s no good at management still.

Joao Felix was sat chatting and laughing with the Real Madrid players outside the dressing rooms after the game rather than joining in the Chelsea dressing room

I wouldn’t want to hear the fucking clueless owner come tell me I did a bad job again either.

Few seconds of it was shown on Swedish tele, and the Swedish reporter said that he was sat on the stairs chatting to Real Madrid players until they were all called into the dressing room by Florentino Perez

Yes, UEFA will have 12 slots

 

4 of which will go the winners of the CL from 2021 to 2024 (So Chelsea and Real so far) and then the remaining 8 will be based on a 4 year UEFA ranking (with a limit of 2 per country unless more clubs win the CL from the same country)

He's just Bruce, when he eventually wins his first game he'll be so fuckin smug " I just wanted the players to trust the process, we knew our methods were working, I've been doing this long enough now not to panic"

 

Game after .....lose

 

" they stopped doing what we told them, need to get back to basics, I've been doing this long enough now not to panic"

Thought Chelsea played well between the penalty areas, but that's not where games are decided and the lack of a finisher told on them. Even so, if they'd scored first it could have been a different story. For once, the team played with a bit of passion, and the Champions League seemed to give them a bit of extra motivation. For once, they actually looked like a team.

 

There's no shortage of potential in that squad, but I assume that because of FFP, the new manager will have to wield an axe. Could be another 'season of transition'.

Probably couldn't face another one of Todd's teamtalks.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He's only a temporary Chelsea player anyway I suppose, doesn't look great still.

This is where I think Chelsea will come back next season. New manager, they're bound to have a new striker and the players will have gelled a bit.

Doesn't look good for a return to Atletico neither mind

They won't.

 

They really needed a new man in now to start the player cull.

I assume chelsea are basically just waiting for the summer now. Players, manager and owner.

Hopefully they are on the beach on the last day

I'll still keep an eye on the CL matches in case either Bayern or Benfica get an early goal, but neither tie looks great from a neutral perspective. 

 

Think I'll mainly be watching Blackburn vs Coventry on Sky Sports Arena (so should be proper coverage and not the red button shite) as that's a big game in the playoff race. Sunderland will be hoping for a draw so that both drop points, but not sure what the worst result is for them? Blackburn are in the better position and have an extra game in hand, so probably them winning is worst, but then their final 4 games are very tough as well, so they could still probably be caught (by s'land) even if they were to win tonight.

Just saw Coventry have Reading and Birmingham both at home after this so probably hoping they win here tbh. 

 

Gyokeres is a good player to watch. Suspect he will be playing PL football next season regardless of what happens to Cov.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I wonder how Tuchel approaches this game

 

Has to really go for it, which if not done sensibly could backfire 

 

If they get an early goal though it could make for an interesting game as City love a CL bottlejob

Yeah think it's pretty clear he's the best striker in the league. You feel Coventry would have to go up for them to keep ahold of him

 

I think Joel Piroe at Swansea will get a move to a better team too
