Capaldi:
Kompany is ten times better than Lampard yet he was relegated with a better and richer team. To save him from embarrassment he should quit and take over another championship team. That's his level.
I am actually glad for Lampard. The championship is his only level. He should not be unfortunate by coming into the premier league.

No he is not a bad player individually but anyone with the mind of a coach knows he unbalances the Liverpool team which is based on 3 robust CMs all equally hardworking and fairly creative who sit deep and allow their wingers to play in a traditional 4-3-3. He is a pampered AM who wants two midfielders behind him and to be the centre of attention when Liverpool game is about getting the ball quickly to the wings for Salah to isolate the fullback rather than for an AM to be touching ball upandan. How Capaldi missed this shows he no know ball. That's why I reduced Liverpools chance of winning the league, just based on the addition of Wirtz alone. He actually weakens them, until the day Salah leaves the club and they change approach from wings to AM.
I have always known you as John snow. Liverpool drop off and bad performances have been going on since February especially after losing that final to Newcastle and then Psg. The fact you attribute their current performances to the addition of Wirtz proves you are just a waffler. Even in games he has been benched they have just been as terrible in midfield. Anyone that watched Liverpool constantly last season knew their midfield lack any sort of creativity and that was why Wirtz was brought in. Carragher was very outspoken on it and Slot knew it. Seun needs to make the block option permanent so I won't be seeing your posts on my timeline.

[quote author=monerozi5590 post=137009230][/quote]English media and pandering to overrated players. I see they have a new set of Gallagher(cardio merchants) to disturb the manager with. Tuchel should stand his ground and not fall for their antics.

Chelsea under Maresca has been much better than Potter,lampard n pochetinho under the rebuilding regime.

The owners aim is to make profit n keep us afloat around top 4 irrespective patterns of play.

Maresca's Chelsea grew much better towards the end of the campaign n clinched trophies along the way.....He lost his most important defenders that is directly responsible for his line-breaking tactics and openly begs for replacement...

Also,,,palmer who is another superstar has been injured since CWC.....

How on earth are you blaming him instead of the boards that loves quantity of qualitieshuh??
You are mixing things up and just adding irrelevant points to the discussion. You said Palmer was the reason we have dropped off this season and I said even with Palmer last season we were just as bad. From January to early April our play was terrible. Our late run to make top 4 and the club world cup final masterclass is what's giving Maresca a vote of confidence right now.

Please just stop. Some of you just type and press submit for typing sake. Hakimi is a beast and have been exceptional right from Dortmund to Inter.b A player Inter bought for 40million just last season from Madrid, how much do you want them to demand?
Hakimi has always been a beast right from time. We were rumoured to be interested back then in 2021.

This club is finished if glasner is even on the clubs radar. Someone that has the 2nd lowest possession in the entire league behind Sunderland and others. Palace is his level and he should remain there.

That is ur taught and it ends there.

We never taught of top 4 till we capped it with conference and CWC.

You are definitely lying if u undermine his playing patterns and zeal towards d end of the campaign.

New intakes plus injury to colwill(,forced us to play somehow)..mind u, Palmer has been injured since CWC
Speak for yourself. You are only lying to yourself if you actually believed Chelsea were playing good football from January to April.

You're celebrating like we are not just 7games into the season. It's impossible for Wirtz to flop and I will remind you again in May when he's nominated for player of the season. For now enjoy your premature happiness.

Your talk is clouded with sentiments and absolute hatred for Maresca.

Chelsea under Maresca uses defenders to break midfields....ie colwill decisive passes from the back.
Also,Palmer's intelligence in piercing through needles.....

This was evidence vs PSG.....we have lost the architect of these tactics n obviously Maresca is trying new tactics cos we have bums at d defense n non-palmer's intelligence at the fronts with Pedro but none is giving the vibe.


If u Blame Maresca for all d red cards den u should blame d board for not addressing his requests
We have been playing poorly even with Palmer. From January till about April our game play severely degraded. The club world cup Is the only reason Maresca still have credit in the Bank.

You cannot give Murphy, Gordon etc a 6ft striker and expect them not to cook with crosses.

Bro!!! What's the rant about?!

This same board that close deals seamlessly? Have you taken time to see players already sold this very window?

Na wao....

If you have been following our transfer strategy nowadays, you won't even say what you just said above. If the board wanted to sign Xavi in 24 hours, they would have done so sinceeeeeeee.
Aside from Nkunku none of the players we have sold this summer have been consequential to our FFP issues with Uefa. Most of you are just blind to the facts.

Our signings have also been mediocre while we have allowed our rivals to get stronger by stacking up huge talents. Garnacho and Gittens are side steps from Madueke and Sancho,none of them raises our level. Delap and Joao Pedro are decent at best none is world class or have world class potential.

Xavi Simmons to spurs is a very good deal


Cos I don't understand why we want to sign such a quality player to be "backup" let him flourish at spurs
He was never going to be back up. Palmer would vacate that 10 position.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Capaldi: 10:04am On Aug 29, 2025
So many players I will have my eyes on.

Wirtz
Simmons
Woltemessi
Sesko
Thierno Barry
Cherki

It's baffling how incompetent this board is. How we didn't close the deal for Simmons for over two weeks is shocking and we still have deadwoods we haven't sold on.

Ekitike is a better player ,but I still don’t rate both of them

None of them is worth that amount

It seems the price epl teams pay is different from others
Ekitake is not a better talent then Woltemessi. Newcastle are lucky.

Olise was clearly the best player in bundesliga last season. Wirtz winning Player of the year is surprising even tho he had a good season.

After watching Liverpool vs Bilbao today, good luck to anyone trying to play a high line against them this season. Their transitions look frightening and their pace in attack was something else.

Wirtz_ Liverpool
Thierno Barry...Everton
Marmoush......City
Enzo le Fee ..... Sunderland.

No. Lukaku wasn't a huge mistake. The problem started when tuchel changed the system making him struggle and grant that infamous interview. Prior to that, Lukaku was having a good season
Tuchel system never needed an elephant like lukaku and no, he wasn't having a good season. He scored 4 goals in First three league games and then didn't score for the next 7 while stinking up the place and pointing to be passed the ball in impossible positions. Even before we went for him I could tell he was going to be a bad signing despite others being blind and calling him world class.

Capaldi:
Lukaku to do what at Chelsea? They better not bring that bag of beans to Chelsea.
Capaldi:
I never wanted Lukaku the bag of beans. we really don't need a pure 9 for Tuchel's system to work. We need a false 9 really that is clinical, we look more fluid because our front 3 can interchange, press and occupy different spaces. Big waste of money.
Capaldi:
All Lukaku does in attack is call for the ball in impossible positions. Useless player

The kind thunder wey go fire Tuchel for this deal ba.

This guys injury problems was crystal clear back then, even to a blind man.

Signing this glass legs together with Lukaku for humongous amount na one of the things wey pursue Tuchel comot for Chelsea
Fofana has nothing to do with Tuchel. We have been scouting him way before Tuchel was even hired and he only gave his approval. Lukaku as well was another board signing that was a huge mistake.

hensben:
I don’t think so, bro. With the arrival of Xavi Simons, I believe Palmer won’t be played centrally as much. Maresca will most likely stick with him on the right wing, where he was most effective last season. Neto and Estevão might get chances, but probably more in rotation or against lesser teams. Palmer’s consistency and creativity from the right is too valuable to shift permanently.

Having Palmer dictate play from midfield is honestly a waste of his attacking abilities.
He’s far more dangerous operating closer to the final third, where he can directly influence the game with goals and assists. His instinct and creativity shine best in the attacking zones, not deep in midfield.
He never dictates play from midfield, he is not a True number 10 like Wirtz or even Simmons that we are getting. His best position is on the wings which is why we should get Xavi by all means.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Capaldi: 10:43am On Aug 01, 2025
Still not sold on any of our strikers for next season. Jackson honestly shouldn’t even be at the club. Joao Pedro’s ball striking and goal return are mediocre and while Delap’s finishing is decent, it’s nothing to get excited about. Schick is right there for £30M.
