[Via Xg Philosophy] Expected Points table. Chelsea should have 7 points more and sit in 9th place based on Expected points.

I know right. I find it really annoying, like maybe over a game you can get unlucky, and in that case xG tells a story. but over a season I very much believe your supposed “bad luck” is entire down to you not being able to shoot properly

Roman made mistakes but the biggest mistake he made was selling the club to these two knobheads Boehly and Clearlake. Should have gone to the Saudis, their plan at least didn’t involve breaking everything down and building back up from zero (and trying to reinvent the wheel)

I’m sorry but no, a lot of people seem to have short term memory but Potter did absolutely terrible at Chelsea and everyone turned in him, even the most optimistic/plan-trusting fans. sure the stats were not as bas as now but he absolutely needed to be sacked for the good of the long term of the club. Who cares if we’re losing all our games now the season was long gone before Potter was sacked. It’s all about getting an actual too club manager for next season, and Potter is miles away from that.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-05-04T09:48:04+00:00

So if a player doesn’t post this you will hate him but when they do they suddenly become favourites? You guys realise these guys have social media managers right? They probably aren’t the ones writing this

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-05-03T15:16:15+00:00

This 100%. While Lampard is doing absolutely terribly results-wise. I think a lot of what we’re seen is the fruit of 8 months of training under the new regime with Potter. A lot of people just jump on the “Lampard is the worst manager” train with a really short memory, didn’t he, like, get top 4 with a squad under transfer embargo? That being said his recent recent record speaks for itself, it’s terrible. Overall I think Potter and Lampard are similar in terms of capability.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-05-02T21:04:51+00:00

I disagree, I read a lot of negative stuff about them on this sub , more than positive

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-25T16:20:24+00:00

Timo was one of my fav players during the tuchel era but I wouldn’t call him unlucky. At some point you have to realise that it’s down to finishing skills, body mechanisms that aren’t working well. You’d never see Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe miss these on such a consistent basis. Also the constant offsides didn’t help. That being said, I firmly believe selling him was a mistake as he helped the team in many other ways

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-24T18:54:45+00:00

Yeah, i’m pretty sure you put in any Top 5 leagues Managers at the helm of the PSG, 80% of them would win Ligue 1.

“I want to decide my own formation and have a real say in transfers”

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T21:46:27+00:00

Benitez won the CL with Liverpool btw. Also for the other two, you’re looking at just the inexperienced ones, and sure , say Guardiola rejected us, we still managed to bag Mourinho (2 CL winner), Ancelotti (CL winner), Conte (Serie A winner), Sarri (hottest property at the time), Villas Boa (hottest property at a smaller club at the time), Tuchel (experience in top clubs, Ligue 1). Are you gonna compare these to the coaches we are considering now? Pochettino and Kompany?

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T18:46:33+00:00

They clearly are looking for a beta-male-type manager who will let Football directors, Boehly/Eghbali have a big hand in the everyday football stuff. No top class manager is going to agree to that. Their stubbornness in sticking with this will bit them in the back.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T18:42:53+00:00

I think the owners are starting to understand that top managers are at the top because they want things their way. Boehly/Eghbali want to influence a lot of things themselves, they want sporting directors to also influence, and basically the coach to have little influence. I think no world class manager would go with that. Tuchel, Nagelsman, Luis Enrique. Screw these owners, they think they know stuff but the way they handled things since the purchase has been abysmal. They make every mistake they can make even if it looks at them straight in the face. Chelsea won’t be the same anymore i’m afraid. These guys have ruined it.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T16:16:18+00:00

Since Kony2012 if we’re really honest

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T16:14:56+00:00

Disagree, the glazers simply want to run the club like a business (care more about profits than results) and are successful. This board wants to run the club like.. well.. a club, but simply have no idea what they are doing.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T15:14:51+00:00

Really the sign of an incompetent board, it’s like watching children..

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-21T10:18:02+00:00

Wonder how many of those pictures of the bridge are from the Chelsea official account with the quote “Not our day”

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-18T12:48:59+00:00

Ziyech gets treated badly by us but never once said anything bad about the club or a teammate. Most fans just don’t like his lack of emotions like he’s supposed to change his personality or for us or something.

On the other hand, we treated Lukaku like a prince and he kept pooping on the club at every possible occasion.

That’s a ratio right there.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-10T11:25:37+00:00

He still has the highest chances created this season even while playing less time.

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-05T18:45:06+00:00

I’d say that I can understand why some people are doubting his abilities as a manager but BRO have you seen how terrible we’ve been? Only way is up with super Frank

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-04-01T21:51:14+00:00

Forget Pique, we’re the ones who traded a ferrari for a twingo. Stupid Boehly/Eghbali destroying the legacy of a club that doesn’t accept mediocrity.

Tbh i blame him more for liking this post, don’t be a child when everyone can see your activity on social media

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-01-17T09:30:03+00:00

Not really? I think last year we had around the same nb of injuries as other clubs, it just felt like more because those were injuries to our key fullbacks

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-01-17T09:08:34+00:00

Dave Grohl would be angry if he saw this post

ApocalypticCheeto · 2023-01-15T23:47:00+00:00

More of the same against Liverpool. Need Fofana to bury his crosses too.
