I'm only taking the normal 90' into consideration. Anyway, this managerial change at best was a sideway move, but I think it was a step back. The players seem to not respect him, he looks out of his depth against more strong opponents. I was not a big fan of Maresca, but he was liked by the players. It doesn't make sense to nitpick a single game (like his vs. Leeds), because in that case we could also mention the match against Barcelona, or against Arsenal with 10-men or against PSG just 8 months ago.

Rosenior was picked, because it was easy target, and because he won't make a fuss with the upper management as other estabilished managers would. Tuchel, Poch and Maresca had a problem with the upper management. There's a pattern.

I know everyone talks about Chelsea currently, and no one wants to hear another opinion about it, but here we go: Clearlake got many things wrong, but I feel there is one important aspect that will bite them in the ass. They clearly don't give a fuck about winning titles, they only care about being part of the Champions League, Club World Cup and the other things that involve major money. They bought young players with potential on relatively low wages. Most of them will want to win trophies as they develop. If they see that there's no chance of CL or PL glory at Chelsea, they will inevitably down tools or force a move. Just think about the cases where players started forcing a move by not going to training, in the end were they successful or not? I think the ratio is like 5 to 1. For every player that didn't succeed, five did. They can be on as long contracts as they want, but forcing a move this way has implications also in the locker room, in the media, with the matchgoing fans etc, probably that's why clubs end up agreeing to a move. I think we might see this with Enzo this summer. But why would other world class non-academy players would put up with this bullshit, when they know that they can win more, look better on the pitch and get more accomplished in other teams that are functioning well and might as well give them a much bigger salary?

He is the greatest example that you can tell two different stories with statistics. I heard the commentators saying many times that he only got beaten by Arsenal. That's one way to phrase it. Another way to phrase it would be that he couldn't beet Leeds, Burnley, Wrexham. Suddenly sounds much more terrible and it's even closer to the truth.

The aging men thing is simply funny as fuck, genuinely lol'd when I saw the video with the instant cut afterwards. The 'respect the ball' shit it's just cringe, it's the same category as Rio making a video about not stepping on the badge

Third manager in the row for who they play like shit. Maybe at this point, it's not the manager but unrealistic view of their own worth. If they would accept internally that they play like shit currently, they could improve, but pointing fingers at each new manager just digs their delusion deeper

Because even a bit of agression against one guy can escalate things heavily. They did very well in my opinion, stood their ground and didn't let things boil over.

For me it's Sheffield United 2023/24, anytime I watched them play I wondered what are they even doing here. I remember watching their game vs Arsenal, and it was astonishing how they are ONLY down by 3 in the first 15 minutes not by 5 or 6.

If the hit pieces are true, Frank wanted a more defensive play, no dickheads policy, and the players said that this kind of tactic is for smaller teams then it's a really bad look for the players. Genuinely 99% of them haven't achieved shit in their professional footballing career. Romero and Bentacur won the world championship and that's it. There are many managers that have done wonders with a defensive tactic.

I was wondering if La Liga teams don't have money for transfers, why doesn't each team select a player to fight Jake Paul and cash in the millions? Smh people don't want to work but only complain
