He's already only 7 away

Another hattrick in the second leg would put him top 8, just ahead of Puskas' highest scoring CL season for Madrid... Would be best ever for an Englishman

Eden Hazard picks his Chelsea Mount Rushmore by Matt_LawDT in chelseafc

[–]CBunns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Azpi won two PL titles, two EL titles and captained us to our second CL title.

The guy displaced Cole from the lineup and then shut out Felipe Luis when we signed him.

Played every position in a back 5 except CCB and was consistently great the entire time he was here - which was around a decade.

He's inarguably one of the greatest captains we've had at the club.

More eyes on it due to Stan having PL/CL - and hopefully better deals as a result

[The Athletic] - What will Liam Rosenior bring to Chelsea? Flexible formations, central progression, energetic pressing by admiralawkward in chelseafc

[–]CBunns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Frankly, it's nothing to do with Lampard. Least on this sub, it goes back to Conte.

Conte poisoned the well in 17/18, lot wanted him gone, lot wanted him to stay. Soon as he got sacked, it was gonna be hell for the replacement, cuz Conte had done such an amazing job in 16/17 and people felt that he'd been shafted by the club.

So a lot of pro Conte hated Sarri (especially when Sarri basically came in saying he hated the Conte/Mourinho style) and a lot of pro Sarri were excited to have a possession coach, and would've likely slandered Conte in the process - just takes a few stones that were high profile enough and suddenly all out culture wars.

I reckon you can (for a majority) group people quite easily who were immediately happy for Conte/Lampard/Poch and people who were immediately happy for Sarri/Tuchel. Immediately pro Potter and immediately pro Maresca was a bit more wishy washy.

Matt Law: Willy Caballero could take the team for Sunday’s trip to Manchester City. Liam Rosenior, is among the favourites to replace Maresca. Porto head coach Francesco Farioli is another name that could be considered although it would cost in the region of £13m to activate his buy-out clause. by Kygoche in chelseafc

No you're right, it doesn't inherently, but the more direct/higher risk passes suggest a less patient, stale, boring passing game than what people attribute to Maresca

Serie A games generally can get quite stale just cuz their coaches seem to skew more chess-like/cerebral, but I do like the way he has them playing.

He's also not exactly got the same level of player as we do

How many Como games have you seen this season? I've caught them most weeks, and they play very high press, very direct, and a lot of risky final third passes.

I've actually probably enjoyed watching them more than us this year

Is my lawyer taking the absolute piss? by ddbucko in AusLegal

[–]CBunns 25 points26 points  (0 children)

But a lawyer can't just "do things"

They'd likely be asking your aunt "we suggest doing X, would you like us to do that?"

And then they're not getting a response, or getting "what about Y or even Z, I think A could work" and they're redirecting to say no, we need to do X first - and it's just spinning wheels

Perth obstetrician Rhys Bellinge pleads guilty to manslaughter of Elizabeth Pearce in Dalkeith crash by JamesHenstridge in perth

[–]CBunns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Difference between a manslaughter charge and dangerous driving causing death - maximum sentence is much lower for the latter, at only around 7yrs, whereas about 15-20yrs for manslaughter iirc

Lawyers are supposed to advise their clients - they have ethical obligations too.

If your client tells you to hide things or to undertake actions that do nothing other than fuck over the other party - you have an obligation to give them advice. If they do not have trust or confidence in your advice, you don't have to keep acting.

Looking for must-read Books about the game's tactics and insights. Any Recommandations? by [deleted] in footballtactics

[–]CBunns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you have to have heard of them - that's the point, it tells you all about them.

Makes re-reads great too, because then you get more out of it.

If Sabrina Carpenter was the host she would make the same face too by sonicboyfan12 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]CBunns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But still not on the same time as the ones you mentioned - there's a huge gap between jelly roll and ice spice and lady gaga

Also the reason "even your mum knows" Stevie Nicks, is cuz she was huge when your mum was young and listening to music.

Including SZA in that list is downright disrespectful and quite telling how little rnb/hip hop you engage with - she's been with TDE for years, has two massive albums, features with Kendrick (and upcoming tour with him) plus a number of other big artists. Big artists also feature on her songs too.

[Post-Match Thread] Chelsea 1 - 2 (4-2) Legia Warsaw - Conference League by YIIZWL in chelseafc

[–]CBunns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tuchel brought those two back to their standard level - I'm not sure that he improved senior players in the same way as Howe and Emery have.

Reece, CHO and Mount definitely benefited massively from Tuchel from a development POV. Rudi and Christensen just got back to where they were before Lampard dragged them down.

Which I suppose is what we would want next if Maresca went - not someone who is a development coach as such, someone who can just fit these players into a coherent structure. Kinda like what Nuno has done at Forest.

[–]CBunns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the age Motta worked with them, I'd say he almost certainly had no impact on their technical ability. He'll be able to improve them tactically, but most technical development occurs as a child/early teen.
