What If Palmer is like Dele Alli and only performs under poch🥲
Palmer don’t look like a typical English player, he is technical and got the right mentality, I mean he left Pep for a struggling Chelsea side.

That's arsenal standard because there's no way arteta will remain a coach without winning major trophies.
Bro we don’t have experienced players to win the league for now but if we do next season it will be a big plus. We ought to have finish top 4 this season though but poch didn’t tweak his formation on time. He was dwelling on young team excuse all season.

Palmer can play in any type of condition, he is that type of player so I’m not worried.

Most of those coaches you guys actually want have passed it and can’t win the league except knockout games like ucl, UEL. Tuchel for example is not good in league run. Since the board want possession football they should go for Xavi.

When did Pep tell Toure to leave and who were the capable replacements he was given?

E no deh ever hard you to change mouth like I told you earlier. Na make Caicedo catch one small team, you go start again.

See as you turn god of football. Rice cannot improve but Caicedo can.

Lmaooo
To be effective doesn’t mean you are better as a footballer, so many argument led to that statement that day but I don’t expect you to respect context. I have said it before that Rice is not better than caceido it’s just that the former is in a better team at the moment who is playing to his strength. Play caceido to his strength like the last few games and see the difference.

BlueAngel444:
the moment a DM becomes good at other things doesn't mean you push him forward.

Besides dey compare Rice to Gallagher after all the role Rice played for Arsenal is closer to a CM than that of a DM.

Nobody should move Caicedo forward anyway. Make we no conceded 100goals next season
He has to be moved to box to box instead of sitting, he is being wasted by asking him to sit; he has goals, clever passes and a tackler too. Playing him as box to box doesn’t make the team vulnerable still.

look at this point if you dont see Poch's tactics has responsible for conceeding so many shoots and chances then no arguement can help you.
They just watch football and don’t see this things. I like Poch’s personality just the way I like Ancelotti, they have great player coach relationship but Poch’s without the ball tactics is average, you can’t win trophies with this type of coach.

Chelsea want a head coach who will feed into the conversation around potential signings and sales without seeking to dictate strategy or make demands, and commit to working with the talent assembled by the recruitment team. (@SJohnsonSport) #CFC
These are the things pep enjoy at man city, the last coach that had this autonomy was SAF.

He had issues with Toure and Aguero when he newly came, benched both for period of games before yaya finally left, you forgot so soon. Pep wanted to start importing Spanish players in nolito, Jesus and that Barca guy when he newly came to epl but learnt the hard way, from there his player ideal for the league changed which is good. When an intelligent adult don’t want another adult they most times don’t say it directly. Conte didn’t want Costa to leave initially but he insisted on leaving in mid way of the season when the team is on course to win the league.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 12:46pm On May 21, 2024
forgiveness:
The bolded pained Conte nobi small. Though he also played a part by verbally telling Coasta to go which didn't go well with Chelsea.

Had it been Coasta stayed? We for win league nobi lie but my club went for Morata wey just dey miss chances anyhow.
Remember Pep told Toure to leave and was given a capable replacement by his friends instructed by him, that’s the difference. Pep also changed it for Aguero and now he has Halaand and Alvarez. Conte didn’t want Morata but Lukaku and one other capable striker at that time but Chelsea board gave him a spineless and lover boy morata, they did Conte dirty in that transfer window and the man was really frustrated, his moral dropped after that window. When it comes to winning the league Conte is one of the best but he has being unfortunate with clubs not giving him his demand, it’s opposite for pep. Pep weaken Bayern by bringing Spanish football against German football which backfired, he learnt from there that leagues are different. I tell you, pep will not sign a player like Bousquet in his young age to epl, he now goes for strong, technical and pacy players . I’m not talking from hate for pep, I like pep, the truth is I like player or coach that play technical and tactical football. Halaand is not technical but very tactical player. Back to pep, his achievement is not that rated compare to his football tactics if you observe very well. Ancelotti was using free and loan transfer players who people perceived have past their prime to win ucl for Ac milan, Mou won it with porto and SAF, as much as I don’t like his collabo with English FA and ref to dominate epl he is a great manager too.

There is no player your club chelsea can’t afford to purchase

Chelsea arsenal mancity can afford to get any player of their choice ,but yet it’s only pep team that’s considered as point and kill

The ones wey your owner buy form pochetino and potter nko ?

Pep is point and kill yet your DM is more expensive than his

You have purchased 2 strikers in the past years who is even expensive than Haaland .

Your GK kepa is more expensive than his ,should we even talk about fofana being expensive than all pep CB purchase ?

Aside grealish how many pep signing can match your signings in terms of transfer fees ? Lmao
Even when I said it’s not about finance but freedom to do what you like is what any coach wish for. After Conte won epl he asked for VVD, told the club not to sell Matic and also add a back up DM but they did otherwise, that’s the freedom I’m talking about. Chelsea just came out of turbulence due to Uk sanctions which means we just restarted again, prior to that we won ucl. Liverpool had stable manager in Klopp but don’t have the financial power that city have. Klopp was the only manager capable of challenging pep, even pep know this hence he didn’t mention Liverpool when talking about financial power. I repeat pep is a top coach I like his game play and tactics but his achievement is overrated. If Alonso win Europa league he should be giving the best coach of the season or Ancelotti if they win ucl. 70 percent of man city back room staff are friends to Pep so they do whatever he wants without argument unlike others, that’s a FIFA manager euphoria he is in. Conte would’ve won epl back to back if the Chelsea board backed his momentum after winning the league.

doctors were the ones that got them injured abi?

Were you not following EPL when reports were saying Pochs training responsible for injuries. Obviously a team that lacked fitness doing intensive training suddenly will suffer injuries
I believe this. Poch is not fit to win the league due to his vulnerable tactics without the ball. One of the reason I like Arteta, his team is very tidy and compact without the ball, if not pep Arteta would’ve won two epl by now.

Pep is a top coach but his achievements are overrated. He is a point and kill coach unlike the rest that their hands are tide and it is not about financial ability but having freedom to do what you want as a coach is bliss.

Those involved in the review will seek to determine whether it was the quality of the signings, or Pochettino’s tactics that made them such an attacking force and will assess whether the head coach has improved his players. (@SJohnsonSport @liam_twomey) #CFC


What do you guys think was it the quality signings e.g Palmer which some claim Poch didn't want or Poch's tactics.

I for one feel if you remove or replace Jackson and Palmer with Havertz and Mount we may have similar amount of goals maybe 75% of it. But the key here is is it Caicedo or Gallagher who helped the team more. If it's Gallagher then credit goes to Poch, if it's Caicedo then the credit belongs to the board that brought him in.

It would be harsh to sack Poch but seeing has he didn't do enough to warrant a renewal, does his staying one more season worth it?
Poch should go he is a bottler, he doesn’t take finals serious. The team look vulnerable without the ball.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m):
I repeat Caceido is a better footballer than Rice. Rice is effective so is Caceido but the later has abundant talent than the former. Caceido is a proper box to box/ CM; good penetrated passes, good movement and vision. Caceido can be best box to box/CM in the world unlike Rice that have shown he can not improve more than he is playing now. I wish Lavia or any other CDM stay fit because I don’t want to see Caceido in that position next season, it really make football myopics not to see his actual football technique. If you think it’s coincident how we improve and started winning consistently lately then you won’t see Caceido’s worth and work, I mean, mere being assisted by a left back in the midfield which allowed him to play his best position improved our offensive play and cucu was moving there occasionally.
