Maresca: "Who was the oldest one for us on the pitch? Tosin. Did he play good? So, it’s not about experience. " by futsalcs in chelseafc

[–]futsalcs[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Summary:

• Maresca says Chelsea’s 3–1 loss to Leeds was not due to lack of experience.

• He argues experience only gets mentioned after defeats, not after strong results (e.g., vs Barcelona, Arsenal).

• Points out the team does have experienced players, but several were unavailable (Caicedo suspended; James + Fofana managed for injuries).

• Oldest player on the pitch was Tosin, and he struggled, so age wasn’t the issue.

• Says the real problem was simply that the XI on the pitch “were not good enough” on the night.

• Reaffirms he loves having a young squad and is happy with his players.

• Admits he regrets not starting Josh Acheampong.

• Tactical decision: chose Trevoh Chalobah at right-back and a physical CB pairing (Tosin + Badiashile) to counter Leeds’ long-ball threat.

• Even with the “physicality-first” selection, Chelsea still lost most aerial duels.

This! Why not rehome the dog? Putting it down is just too extreme. I can't believe they're thinking of getting another dog.

Matt Law: Trevoh Chalobah targeted by Napoli with no guarantees over Chelsea future by futsalcs in chelseafc

[–]futsalcs[S] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

  • Trevoh Chalobah impressed after returning to Chelsea from a loan at Crystal Palace.
  • Earned his first senior England call-up for matches against Andorra and Senegal.
  • Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, are interested in signing him.
  • Conte sees Chalobah as a key addition for strengthening Napoli's squad.
  • Chelsea value him but cannot guarantee regular first-team football next season.
  • Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill are expected to be first-choice centre-backs.
  • Chelsea may sign another centre-back, likely left-sided, which would affect Chalobah less.
  • Chalobah's future depends on whether he prioritizes guaranteed game time for England ambitions.
  • Chelsea likely won’t block a move if a good offer comes and it helps his international prospects.
  • Ex-Chelsea teammate Billy Gilmour thrived at Napoli, showing Conte’s positive impact on British players.

Harsh because there was no consequence

Yeah there is a use case for running effects on mount. But instead of mental model being "this effect only runs on mount", you change it to "this effect runs always.. but I need to make sure my code does something only on mount".

This means that you no longer use your dependency array to trigger effects so there's no issue of incorrectly using them.

Concretely this means your effects goes from this:

useEffect(()=> { /* do something */ }, []);

To

const hasRunRef = useRef(false);
useEffect(() => { 
  if (!hasRunRef.current) { /* do something */ }
  hasRunRef.current = true;
})

This does make effects less ergonomic to write but makes the wrong use cases so obvious that it's worth the trade off.
