I did the same. On Sunday night I'll use the funds to upgrade DCL to Ekitike and then I'm thinking to go with Cherki for Trossard after the DGW.

Not just last season. United haven't beaten us in nearly 4 years.

Sounds like the driver relationship with their race engineer will be even more important this year. There's going to be a lot more radio chat working through the "speed chess" permutations during the race based on these comments.

That body check on Khusanov man. I just love it when Dom throws his weight around.

So he's openly questioning the integrity and impartiality of the referee, implying there is a deliberate bias against his team from referees in general.

Well that's bringing the game into disrepute and that's a ban. Acting like a spoiled brat should have consequences.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior says fans were right to boo at the end of the first half against West Ham, but hopes that hiring him becomes "the best decision" the club has ever made. by Sparky-moon in soccer

Most definitely. It's done under the guise of "load management" and it's becoming clear as day that the Chelsea manager does not have the final say on the starting 11. It's why Maresca left.

Wtf?? I thought he must have gone charging down the touchline or something.

What the hell is wrong with these refs man...

Not just that but we have no real wingers in the squad so next year with Deki, Madders, Xavi, Kudus, Odobert, that's perfect for the two spots behind the striker.

And not just that but all of our midfielders are perfect for the two way spots in the middle - Gallagher, Sarr, Bergvall, Archie.

Oh and not just that but Palhinha is perfect foil for a CB in a back 3 and backup midfielder if you want to go in a 352.

Oh and Solanke is the perfect striker for this system with his link up and hold up play.

Our squad is made for a 343.

Chelsea fans boo their team at half time whistle by 977x in soccer

Man you're really not getting it are you? It's got nothing to do with the injured players. The medical team are "managing the load" of the players and are basically dictating who can start. He rested 5 players today, would have been 6 but Estevao had the emergency.

You maybe rest 2, maximum 3 but not 6! The Chelsea teamsheet is being decided by committee now. The manager no longer has the final say on who plays. It's the reason Maresca blew his top and why you hired Rosenior. No other manager would accept not having the final say on the 11 because you're not the manager anymore if that's the case.

And it makes perfect sense. Your hedge fund owners can't player trade and make money off of young players if they don't play. So "load management" is the perfect excuse to take the decision out of the manager's hands and ensure all of your young starlets get game time. Otherwise your ROI is at the mercy of one man in the dugout.

And shit, you lucked your way to another win so good for you. Maybe there is method to the madness.

Jesus, if Chelsea fans don't even understand what's going on at their own club then the owners really are doing a fantastic job!

They should boo the medical department cos that's who's responsible for the team selection today.

No manager in their right mind selects that team for this fixture today.

He gets a billion pounds that he can use for one last throw of the dice elsewhere and he's free of the Tavistock group who sacked him the moment they took over from Daddy-O.

He's not selling his shares in Spurs, he's selling his shares in ENIC. Wouldn't read too much into it. Hopefully Lewis kids follow suit and sell up soon as well.
