With time our defence will improve.
The major issue we have now apart from the obvious lack of leg I'm the middle is the team still learning when to jump and press the opponent and when to sit off them and remain in a medium or low block. The more time xabi has with them on the training ground, the more improvement I expect to see.

Getting rid of fraudnerdez was the best option. Super happy that Alonso will not have that politics to deal with.
Hopefully we get a midfielder before the window ends.

Rogers for 117milla is quite on the high.

There is nothing Rogers will give us that Nicolas Jackson didn't give us in his best season. I'd have expected a swap and Villa giving us balance.
Apostle, sorry to say. But you dey follow transfer market so?
The market is inflated and players are going for crazy money now.

So you support this sacrilege against our club?? 117M , really??

Chelsea sporting director or whoever sanctioned this purchase is extremely foolish.
You probably think this is 2020.
The whole transfer market is inflated and most players are not worth the prices they are sold for. £50m is the new £25m

I think that France crystal palace defender will be better for us but livarpool or another champions league team might go for him.

Maresca is a big duunce. The way he spoilt our winning runs and killed the boys mentallity with jis fooolish rotation, is the reason why we are where we are now.

I always said it seemed intentional..cos he never wanted to invite the pressure to remain on top. Or maybe due to the club owners anti football policies, he was doing that to rebel against them. But bottomline is...it was intentional to kill our vibe.

This club sjould be taken aeay from those americans. Na business them come do..not win trophies like Roman. They need wenger type of coach, who arent interested in trophies.
Do you follow Chelsea at all?? Is this not one of the reason he resigned ?

I'm really glad that fofana have stayed fit recently.

I never liked dude, but even in his worst days, I would take him over Tosin any day and 100x on weekends. But he have had some strong outings in the few matches he featured.

Abeg make Cowill recover fast so our team will be complete again. People like Tosin no go see shirt unless na carabao
Fofana's problem is not footballing ability but injury. I am glad maresca is taking the same James route of injury management with h8m

solid line-up with the available players on ground.

We should be winning this game.
Exactly.
I just hope it's a flat midfield three and not Enzo at 10.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by kingBolton: 2:12pm On Sep 27, 2025
Love this line up.. I hope it's a midfield three like we played against United after the red card and not Enzo at the number 10 role.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by kingBolton: 8:27pm On Sep 20, 2025
Maresca lost his head after that red card...

but this is the tactics maresca used against Bayern where enzo played rubbish unlike his performance against psg. Gusto was overlapping like you suggested but his wing was where they attacked from more often, where James and chalobah were supposed to hold down while he overlaps.

santos is good at scoring as shown in his previous two goals, so playing box to box isn't the problem for him. Maresca needs to trust Josh more tbf, and stop waiting to sub players, if he had taken off gusto, enzo, neto and dropped pedro to am and put in guiu/garnacho, estevao, santos but then it wasn't his fault that he trusted them and left them till they fumbled. For now we have no one to replace caicedo when he panicks and makes silly decision or loses form/fitness.

We can hope the team manages till January when we may get guehi, recall sarr or possibly sign wharton
Against bayern, it was James next to Caicedo and Enzo was box crashing...
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by kingBolton: 7:34pm On Sep 19, 2025
We are going to miss colwill badly this season and this is not even from a defensive point of view. Ever since colwill's injury , our build up from the back has been terrible and slow. Maresca needs to do something to the set up cos it's obvious that the two cB currently starting doesn't have his line breaking passes.

One thing that might actually help now is to play either Enzo or Santos close at the pivot with caicedo and stop the box crashing from either of them, the one of either the LB or RB over laps.. more like a 3 2 4 1 build up
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by kingBolton: 9:06pm On Sep 17, 2025
We are leaving cucu isolated against olise..
Neto needs to help him out more.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by kingBolton: 4:45pm On Aug 17, 2025
All this lamentation on top what every sensible fan expected. We had a very very short pre season and it is obvious we won't be at our best untill at least the third match of the season.
No need to scape goat anybody or anyone , the whole team was poor.

After watching this game, especially the first half, you will understand why maresca was lamenting colwil's injury.

You're correct. They're all debatable depending on how the beholder views it.

For me, combined 11 is a way of measuring d11ck by rival fans and for me doesn't mean much. what matters is if you're able to win after measuring. I think you can even debate for Pedro and Dembele sef. Doesn't matter.
I don't think Pedro and Dembele is debatable now, Dembele had a monster season and should definitely win the balon dor.

The starting 11 was used to buttress Madrid and Barca being way better than atletico and that atletico winning a trophy against them will be a once in a blue moon occurrence unlike say Chelsea vs PSG , Barca vs Madrid , Liverpool vs CIty etc, where these clubs are expected to win trophy because they posses players of similar quality..

Expecting atletico to win a trophy against Barca is like expecting Spurs to win a trophy against Liverpool or City , it might happen but shouldn't be expected.

List the 2-3 or the 3-4, conduct a neutral poll and see if they'll actually make it there. Yet this didn't stop Chelsea from flogging them easy. That's why combined 11 is somewhat inconsequential.

Palmer, Caicedo, Levi and Cucu are the 3-4 players on top of my head and Cucu is debatable amongst neutrals because he's playing in Mendez's position. Levi is also somewhat debatable. Enzo doesn't walk in, same with Neto and co. But it didn't matter as they were thrashed.
Palmer and Caicedo are guaranteed to walk into their 11.
The rest are debatable and will most likely come down to preference cause the difference are negligible
Pacho vs colwill
Hakimi vs James
Mendez vs cucurella
Fabian vs Enzo

Same thing with atletico ,2/3 players from there will walk into Barca too 😁
And you expect them to compete with Barca ?
How is that possible?

And I honestly doubt they have 2/3 players that can sniff Barca 11, the only player in their squad that can make Barca 11 now is Alvarez and that's even highly debatable.

How many chelsea player will work into psg xi ?

Yet psg where schooled 😁
At least 2-3 of Chelsea players walk into their 11 and arguments can be made for about 3-4 players depending on your preference.
