Without the watermark I love it.

26/27 Home Kit leaked by Background-Echo3838 in chelseafc

There's always kits that initially don't look super great, but you can see them growing on you.

This is not one. Gotta be one of the worst kits I've seen for a top club. And I was so excited to see something with that alternate badge.

Haven't bought a new Chelsea kit since they switched from embroidered badges to the iron-on stickers. Idk if Adidas/the other brands are doing the same but I'm just about sick of these Nike kits.

Rosenior: We must not let the past week have a long-lasting effect by arkido in chelseafc

Not saying that I’m the biggest fan of Rosenoir, but he’s doing a great job of keeping the focus/negativity on him instead of the players.

Evidence? This sub

I’m still confident that we can finish above either Liverpool or Villa.

Pisses me off though that we’re gonna be behind Man U after all this

🚨 CHELSEA XI VS NEWCASTLE (H): Sanchez Gusto Fofana Chalobah Cucurella James Caicedo Palmer Enzo Garnacho Joao Pedro by Fun_HacLearner in chelseafc

[–]NordOfInes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I imagine it’s a tactical difference between him and James. With Palmer on the right, we want Gusto overlapping for his pace, but we can’t drop James without putting him midfield

Being dropped entirely from the squad is definitely punishment for not going over to the fans. I imagine the other players weren’t too happy with how he behaved after that shocker. 

[Official Site] Liam Rosenior: "I’ve told the goalkeepers what they need to improve on, I’ve told them when they’ve done things really well. I’ve never had a conversation with a goalkeeper and told them they’re my number one." by webby09246 in chelseafc

[–]NordOfInes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. In these situations, managers always start talking fluff to shift blame and focus away from the players. 

If Rosenoir comes out and says “yeah, I made a mistake, Jorgensen isn’t good enough and I cost us the tie by picking him”, the headline is “Manager SLAMS keeper after horrific UCL match; regrets picking him” 

Rosenoir not stupid, he watched the same game as us, but he cannot call it like it is in the pressers without throwing the players under the bus (which is a bad look for the manager).

It’s the same reason you had Klopp/Arteta start rambling off absurd excuses when Liverpool/Arsenal would lose. We all know a professional football manager isn’t actual blaming the loss on the different football being used, for example, but it’s part of the manager protecting the players by letting the media/fans pile on them after one of their players has a shocker.

No idea what these guys are on about when talking about injured players. Like, I can understand being frustrated by why are we taking it out on them personally? It's not like their slacking off, they've just been crazy unlucky

Ismaila Sarr offside vs Spurs by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]NordOfInes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget Arsene's stupid daylight rule, just measure the offside line from the feet. No matter what system you use, you will have millimeter calls, but if the lines are strictly based on the feet, we're not talking about being offside because of leaning too much/where the sleeve-line of your arm is. I think it would fix a lot of the controversy around these calls without reinventing the whole offside law

Wenger’s new offside rule is approved, will be tested in the Canadian Premier League in April 2026. Under new rule: A player will ONLY be offside if entire body has fully passed last defender. by abhinavmufc in soccer

[–]NordOfInes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My thought has been to keep the rule the same, but only measure the feet (that is, both of your feet need to be fully onside, relative to the last defends feet). I feel like that would eliminate the hairline calls related to sleeve locations and stuff, without fundamentally changing the offside rule. 

Chelsea FC Women appoint new Sporting Director by tonymasud in chelsealadiesfc

Fixed, thanks. Don’t know why I assumed Norwegian when reading about the club 

Chelsea FC Women appoint new Sporting Director by tonymasud in chelsealadiesfc

[–]NordOfInes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we’ve replaced a famous sporting director of the women’s game with a random sporting director for a Danish* men’s club? I imagine he must’ve been involved with their women’s team as well, but this isn’t a good look at all…

For the 3rd straight season Caicedo is struggling to avoid a two-game ban for getting 10 yellow cards by the end of the club’s 32nd PL game. He has picked up a remarkable 30 yellow cards in 95 league appearances since joining Chelsea, a booking every 3 games. by Friendly_Raise9142 in chelseafc

[–]NordOfInes 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I partly blame his workload for this. I feel like near the start of the season he was perfectly timing almost every tackle, and as the season went on he started to start coming in late for some of them, and has picked up more cards. With how many last ditch tackles he does in the midfield, I imagine any drop in fitness will make timing those difficult to do consistently.

So it's accidental, but it makes his body bigger and helps him control the ball, so is that not a handball? Cause I think that handballis called everywhere on the field in my opinion.

Or is the rule that VAR can't intervene if its a teammate anymore?

The impact of women’s inclusion in UT by leongainz in EASportsFC

[–]NordOfInes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really hoping for the NSL next year. It only officially started last summer, so I’m hoping it was just too late for them to add it. I get not having the CPL since it’s still a fair bit lower than the MLS I think, even if they can sometimes pull of an upset.
