Again, good heads at board level
So their recruitment strategy is top notch


They let business be business and football be football so they can identify players and coaches that suit their style
And no other club is able to replicate that process without breaking the bank?

Hence my question - HOW?

Well run club. They are like quality out, quality in.
I am sure they already have like two alternatives for every of their 25 man squad in the transfer market right now.
Didn't Chelsea buy their scout too? grin

They have stability and good heads at board level

They make smart signings that suit their strategy at player and board level



We have just started that process and accumulated a lot of duds in four years

BlueCo have to replicate what they did this window and stay with Alonso while at it for at least three to five more windows.

And also let the football be run by football men and not accountants
I agree to an extent but how were they able to sell their coach, sell their players, brought in a new coach, new players and still continue to be competitive?

Surely on paper Chelsea have the stronger squad even before Alonso came in.

How are they able to achieve that?

You probably think this argument is black and white

You need goals to win
Your attack can’t be in form every game
Having a good defense will bail you out on some match days when things don’t go well for you



Na wa for una
Who are the una?

This is football -everything counts- goals, strong midfield/defense, dependable GK. No one ever said otherwise but in all of that - GOALS stand out!

And how is the so called steely defense bailing Arsnal out so far?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by FBS: 3:46pm On Sep 19
Regardless of the outcome of this match, how Brighton are able to compete playing this way must be studied.

Chelsea bought ALL their BIG name players + their coach/coaching crew yet they just shook it off like small fly for shoulder.

How. Just HOW?

2 - 0

WHat. A. STRIKE!

They cannot

But if they don’t score now they will still lose.

And that’s what a steely defense gets you
So you need goals to win, innit?

When a team is in crisis or full of MIDs, you go run out of scapegoats.

Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin and co are long gone but the defense continues to swallow goals.

From kepa to Sanchez all gone and world cup winner continues to swallow alarming number of goals.


Malo Gusto and Hato has been useless this season, they got benched and those that played deliver another horrible performance.
You forgot to add Enzo the supposed Ghost worker? cheesy to the list

You are finally hit the nail on the head .

I was not pro-Arteta as an Arsenal fan when Arteta was signed as Arsenal manager . I felt he was too inexperienced and a catering Arsenal team that needs urgent revival should not be his first job following his apprenticeship with Pep. I was against his signing back then .

However , when Arteta managed to deliver the 2020 FA cup , I switched to his side . I know he had it in him , but we just need to get rid of weak asss players that populate our team . That FA cup bought him the time he needed to rebuild the team .

I supported him all through that 3 consecutive years Arsenal came 2nd in a row and as the years pass by I just had that feeling that he was going to be the manager to return Arsenal back to the glory days which he eventually delivered last season .

Truth be told tho , Arteta would never have survived if he had joined Chelsea instead of Arenal . Una go don pursue am tey tey especially all those times when David Luiz and dem Xhaka head go touch and Pep will paste us embarrassing score line
Well, boss, na so.
It most certainly helped his career

For those comparing Arteta vs Alonso.

imo Arteta bought time with Arsnal by winning the FA Cup in his first season. It paved the way for him within the club that he could possibly lead a long-term project.

Alonso can follow a similar path if he wins a cup this season. For that to happen, he needs to step things up BIG TIME!

So Mr Boeli don comot?

The moment I saw them owners watching from different stands, you just know say something dey sup. Well, ciao!


But back to Alonso

1. Your team is struggling with possession but decided to go the "PSG" way by donating the ball to the opponent. Igbawo ni gbogbo radarada yen bere? undecided

2. OK, we know say Chelsea normal normal like to do dey promo (Igor Thiago says hello) but y'all can't possibly argue that Hull City and Brentford have better players? Can you name their starting 11 without checking whoscored first?

3. Alonso had his pre-season, had time to work with the players, plus another 3 weeks to sort things out.

It baffles me that this is rocket science to some of them.

Balance is important, but outscoring your opponent is importanter

This is a BIG lie and you know it.

You are team outscore.. No matter how messed up the defence is, just outscore.

Well yesterday is a proof that you can't rely on out scoring your opponent all season long.

We scored 2 goals but got only one point. Arsenal scored same 2 goals and went home with all 3 points.... Can to explain how Arsenal's 2 goals out scored their opponent but same 2 goals for Chelsea can't outscore our opponent?

Attack win you games. Defence win you titles.
Egbon go siddon abeg.

This is a BIG lie and you know it

Check my previous posts on this topic - you will see balance there.

My question to you was simple - when you can't achieve the desired balance, what should be the focus? Attacking or defending?

While you are at it, please analyse the 2nd goal for us?

Note: We had like 6 players in the box.

It's been 8 months since Chelsea last kept a cleansheet in the Premier league

Last cleansheet was on the 20th of January 2026
Clean sheets will come, guys just shouldn't expect it in every game like its a given.
Will take win everyday of the week though and then some more.
