11 points dropped at home this season from winning positions is the worst in the league by far and highlights the one weakness this approach to building a squad full of young players brings and that is a lack of battle hardened pro's who know what to do to see a game out, it will come over time as the group learn but just a slight change in direction from egghead and we challenge now.
We have very good players, we have a very good coach, just throw in 2 experienced heads, a Thiago Silva type at centreback and a N'golo Kante type in midfield and we challenge Man City for the title.

Think we're a bit further away than that mate.
30 Dec 2025 21:35:31
Make that 13 points dropped Greenaway.
30 Dec 2025 21:40:09
Marescas tactics will not win rubbish! Imagine playing Ashley cole inverted.
30 Dec 2025 21:45:11
And a need for a proper prolifoc number 9 and more clunical finishing generally. We should have win game v Villa by half time.
30 Dec 2025 21:51:22
I’ve never been a fan of the inverted full back system being a dominant tactic.
He has changed tactics before, let’s hope he can do it again.
30 Dec 2025 21:56:52
Bill, your posts rarely make sense and yet again I can't understand this latest one mate? We were losing 1 nil.
30 Dec 2025 21:58:13
We have signed a bunch of inexperienced kids, no proven record of scoring or assisting to be seen- i can talk to you all day about a players profile and data attributes but in the game of football what matters is putting the ball in the net and avoiding it getting put in ours and we're not great at either. look at our wingers/strikers. barring palmer i see no one likely to reach 10 goals or 10 assists for the season
a few have made the same points on here repeatedly and been told they're not proper fans. as they can see and state the bleeding obvious. i don't even blame maresca for it. those lauded clowns we have as sporting directors however should be getting P45s in the morning. however they won't and we'll continue on as we. hey look im sure a 13 year old 6'7 gambian sensation will sign a contract to join in 2047 to keep some happy.

I'm sorry Wesley fofana has the
Positional awareness of an debutantb pornstar.

RPD
I suppose you did not see that we were 2-1 up, hope that makes sense now RPD.

The worst positional defender I’ve seen from a Chelsea CH was Rudiger. He looked better in a back five.
The fans loved his whole hearted approach and I except that can mean a lot but not for me thanks.
30 Dec 2025 22:48:29
I also agree with you on Rudiger Tom, not for me either.
30 Dec 2025 22:49:51
David Luiz had his days.
30 Dec 2025 23:05:11
Luiz always played well in big games for us. I think that sort of game demanded 100% concentration.
30 Dec 2025 23:06:21
For the stick fofanas getting…hes got a donkey beside him…chalobah is dreadful absolutely awful…what on earth was that header …makes hige mistakes every game yet somehow seems to be rated cos no bad can ever come out of cobham.
Our record when fofana plays vs doesn't play this season tells its own story… we are desperate for a ready to play cb yet likely won't get one.
30 Dec 2025 23:21:58
We miss Colwill badly a back four of
James Fofana Colwill and Cucurella is a good back 4.
30 Dec 2025 23:24:10
I wasn’t overly impressed with either CH tonight but I think Chalaboa has been ok this season. I think he has improved but I’m not sure he will ever be top class.
31 Dec 2025 10:11:41
Tom not sure
just say it
He won't be end of.
31 Dec 2025 12:13:20
You can be as sure as you like. Time will tell and I live in hopes.
31 Dec 2025 18:16:35
Harsh on chalobah. he's a great squad player and earned his spot after being forced out.
31 Dec 2025 19:16:39
Agree standard but he isn't top class is all I was saying.
31 Dec 2025 19:48:21
I don’t think anybody disagrees that Trev is a great squad player but not top class ; if we want go up a level we need to bring in a top class CB. As for Fofana until he can manage 30 games a season he is not of any use to the squad.
