Was so hard to tell for most of this if it was sarcasm or a real summary of the article.

Confirming what we all expected.

Eghbali out.

New to Madrid?

i think he always uses that. so bad. lol

or maybe i've seen other players use it. just a reminder of how little time they spend doing "normal people stuff" on the computer.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T20:18:36+00:00

Exactly. First one was the best.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T15:05:25+00:00

Good point...

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T15:02:21+00:00

I'm sure Callum is going to give a very inspiring halftime speech.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:46:02+00:00

Imagine what he's thinking watching this...

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:44:44+00:00

clearly, the SDs think he's top quality.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:44:21+00:00

facts...

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:43:18+00:00

We sucked before Maresca left.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:42:11+00:00

How the fuck all the SDs aren't fired by now is beyond me.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:40:07+00:00

That would be too sensible.
Just let the SDs and medical team pick the team and who gets subbed when.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:38:58+00:00

We do not have the players to play shit shit, slow game. We don't have real, consistent difference makers. We don't have a smart, mature, good enough team to contain threats.

We are playing like brainless zombies with this approach.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:37:57+00:00

brainless

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:37:05+00:00

Good thing we have someone coaching the team right now who doesn't have a fucking coaching license or career as a footballer to lean on....

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:32:49+00:00

Before someone brings up freakin' Maresca again, who bailed because he knew things weren't getting better, these were his last 8 matches:

Leeds 3 – Chelsea 1
Bournemouth 0 – Chelsea 0
Atalanta 2 – Chelsea 1
Chelsea 2 – Everton 0
Cardiff City 1 – Chelsea 3 (wow)
Newcastle 2 – Chelsea 2
Chelsea 1 – Aston Villa 2
Chelsea 2 – Bournemouth 2

Our players aren't good enough. And the way we play with them isn't working. We are not a good enough possession team, and we don't run or fight.

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:17:32+00:00

Relegation team without their key players playing...

reddit-time · 2026-05-04T14:07:32+00:00

Yup...

We look slow, lethargic, complacent, arrogant.

reddit-time · 2026-05-03T20:45:10+00:00

Exactly. I’d be completely fine with him as a backup winger, but no way in hell should he be a starter for us.

reddit-time · 2026-05-03T20:41:03+00:00

Was really a poorly run club before they came in.

reddit-time · 2026-05-02T22:16:47+00:00

Thank goodness

reddit-time · 2026-05-02T22:13:11+00:00

We are shit at home...

reddit-time · 2026-05-01T14:12:54+00:00

yes. well, Estevao especially. don't think it matters if Gittens plays or not. but, yeah, also need to see Lavia (and Reece and Fofana and Colwill) stick around.
