drisham: Did you consider all this when poch was here ?
Because maresca is your favorite you're now making up all this excuses
Facts are not excuses boss. If you follow the news of your club, you wouldn't find these facts as excuses.
If you are going to hire a manager who's never managed any first-division level football in any European League to manage a team like Chelsea; then common sense dictates that if such manager is managing to stay within the top 4 after 24 games, at his very first crack, such manager is punching above their weight several levels over.
This is not an excuse. This is a fact.
What was your expectations of Maresca from the day he was appointed? 4th? 3rd? 2nd? League Title? If you chose any of those answers, you are telling a bold- face lie. Many of y'all wrote off the season. Now you want to come and rewrite history.
Poch had 10 years of managerial experience prior to his Chelsea appointment, but you want me to be okay with him being 10th for 75% of the season, but call Maresca (with one year experience) a fraud for being top 4 for over 60% of the season.
Somebody wake me up from this severe case of disengaging logic.
There were hope and expectations then I guess, though I can't really blame Maresca solely on our recent dip in form, the board let him down with without strengthening the squad. The should have done some proper January signing.
I guess the board are not that ambitious for Trophies.
Blame the board, blame the owners, blame the TDs. If any "OUTs" should agending, it is BlueCo and Egbali the U25 maestro, OUT!.
Owners that had a chance to sign Maddison but said no, because he's over 25. Imagine Maddison alongside Palmer, instead of Enzo? Imagine Szobozlai instead of Enzo or Nkunku.
Money wey we suppose take sign Olise, we blew on 5 x 20m U18s. Imagine Olise instead of Madueke? Imagine Gakpo instead of Sancho?
We went one full winter window and no one came in. But you want to blame Maresca. We are not signing the right players. End of!
Were you saying this exact same thing when he took us to second on the table. We will go dig out your posts. If you were not saying that, then like Bisqit says, you are talking from both sides of the mouth. Sorry boss.
You dey another post dey talk say we were free scoring under Poch and using it rub Maresca.
FACTS! Maresca has had Chelsea scoring 47PL goals, and despite a run of 9 very very bad games where Maresca is being considered the worst coach alive, that's only 1 goal fewer than City, two fewer than Arsenal. 7 more than Forest, and 5 more than Newcastle. That's testament to what Maresca has achieved.
FACTS! These teams around us have been playing catch up to us over the last 9 games, and still have not outscored us.
Meanwhile, Newcastle, Forest and Arsenal are supposed to be having fantastic seasons. Some of us even courting their strikers.
This alone shows that your arguments are not based in facts..... only sentiments. If you want to argue, please at least use facts.
Now look on the table yourself, and see how many goals each of those teams have conceded. There you find your answer.
If you want to argue this shit with me, it needs to be based in facts.
Poch had only a raw jackson Nkunuku was out injured
He found a way to utilize palmer by giving him a free role We became a free scoring side James, col will, fofana, Silva were injured under poch
We were too harsh on him
And yes maresca is a foolish coach for trusting only Jackson and nkunku going into the season January window opened and the clown didn't request for a striker
drisham: This is a team forest beat 7-0 a week ago
And we were totally poor against them
This is not how football. We beat Wolves 6-2 earlier in the season. Same Wolves went on to beat Fulham 4-1, to whom we lost 1-2. Same Wolves, we beat in the return leg 3-1. What does it mean?
Android17: You're exposing some of my Trump cards for Poch. Saving them for my argument with Oga Nateevs if EM shxts the bed come season end.
Patiently waiting.
You go wait tire. Poch that has 7 seasons worth of managerial experience dey follow Maresca dey drag neck and neck. This is Maresca's first rodeo, and he's already matching Poch pounds for pound. There's no argument, even if Maresca finish 8th.
raumdeuter: You are okay with Bidens racism which Kamala pointed out on the debate stage ? The type that makes people of your skin color 2nd class human? It's with Trump you draw the line. We saw how Trump stood with Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson and was a friend to Oprah and many blacks until he decided to run for president
happney65: Noo,Dems didnt run on invading government offices and looking for wetin no loss. They didnt run on it so it isnt their wahala.
Na moderm day Hitler always rants and shouts that there is corruption in all agencies of the US government who are after him and wants him to die off.
All agencies of government are his problem. From Education,to social security to everyone but not the PENTAGON. Yes the Pentagon that has all the money. No US agency has the type of Budget that the Pentagon has if I am right.
He cannot audit the others and leave one. The Almighty Pentagon. He must be fair and just and Audit all of them..
So why is he leaving the Pentagon? Abi corruption no dey there too? Or like the brain of a Trump supporter reasons like an ant,is it that yoi cant reason that well to know your guy is just using your brains?
Ohh I'm sorry. He once said it that he loves the poorly Educated..
Like i said to him a few posts ago. He should hit me up when DOGE gets to the Pentagon. You dey find money wey loss, go to the $900bn chamber. But dem no born their father. Therefore it's all just nonsense to sound relevant.
But don't mind Dayo. He is the embodiment of intellectual dishonesty and partisan politics. Dayo is like a proper Nigerian politician. You know? The MC Oluomo kind. His benchmark is usually not right and wrong, it's if the Democrats did the same thing.
Livelystone01: I still hold the position that most of these USAID revelations should be studied first before dropping to the public.
Most are slush funds to settle for some American interests in other nations. They cannot be named because of it gets out they are operating something of such in foreign nations, it woul become a problem.
I don't know how to explain to make you understand that I see those as payments for clandestine operations that helps America and their interests in those countries.
Enter the NED, and you will find that is just as dirty as USAID. But you will find that the NED is also cover for clandestine operations all over the world - Europe -Ukraine, Poland, former USSR, The Middle East, Africa, South America. Even Alan Weinstein openly admitted this.
The NED, openly funded by the then USIA (agency for US propaganda), If you open up their accounts, I am sure you will find even worse entries than those of USAID. It's all US Foreign Policy work, wrapped up in funny titles. This is why I am paying no attention to this USAID nonsense. It's for the echo chamber.
Am I a supporter of American expansionism over the world? NO! Absolutely not! But one would have to be extremely stupid to think this is how you dismantle government, even if there were excesses.
The is the USA. A lot of bad things precede them, and as such, it is to be assumed that a lot of vengeance is in the offing. To be oblivious about this is to be naive. But what is also naive is to not see from a distance that what DOGE is doing now is only exposing the US to severe national security issues down the line.
You take a bunch of kids with no prior security clearance and no training on how to navigate classified Intel and you ask them to comb through sensitive government data. The identities of these individuals are now known all over the world, but you don't reason that those kids are now targets for reverse clandestine operations on US soil. Everything from infiltration all the way to stealing sensitive American data is now on the cards, because these idiots shut down the government apparatus that arrests such incidents.
Two days ago, the white house asked for a complete list of all employees by the CIA to be sent in an unclassified email. They are exposing dirty laundry to the public, making it look like they are doing good work. The clowns are cheering on, thinking something good is being achieved.
I cannot tell you in how many ways these numpties are endangering their own safety.
Not only do married people have a need for abortion, women who wanted their pregnancies but unfortunately suffered miscarriages are becoming afraid to go get emergency help. They are afraid someone will accuse them of “killing their babies”.
They don’t think of those that’ll let fear hold them in the house for too long until they get septic before they seek help.
Republicans are good at introducing bills and executive orders that they don’t think through and they have to end up walking it back when people start to get harmed.
Absolutely. This is why I seriously detest religious fanatics of any kind. It's doctrine before reason. The sad truth about this nonsense is that a lot of women are going to die.
The reality is that some of those women would include the wives, sisters, cousins and daughters of these lunatics who never stop one moment to think.
bemeruca: Madam, close your legs. Problem solved. You put abortion on the ballot, unfortunately for you guys more people in the country know how to close their legs
That's needlessly disrespectful. Your support for Trump does not mean you lose all consciousness of decorum. What the phuck is wrong with you guys?
Do you think married women don't have a need for abortion also? Are you that native? Do you mean they should close their legs too?
How do you encourage family planning even in healthy families when there's an ultra right wing trying to ban contraceptives?
Ibime: I hate to tell you this buddy but even if USAID contribute just 10-30% of your revenue, your jobs will be on the line if another funder doesn't step in. I hope you won't make a mockery of our favourite prayer "May this Government favour me".
Like I keep saying, these dudes will vote against their own interests, even if it means their own extermination.
basilico: The people of Gaza desire and prayer is that every Jew on the surface of the earth be wiped out They loudly wish Hitler had accomplished his mission.. Trump is aware of that, that's why he is playing hard ball . What have those Palestinians done with all the aid given to them for over 60 years? When Israel withdrew from Gaza the first thing they did was to loot and destroy numerous green houses and started begging for food. Then in their elections they elected Hamas which routed Abbas PLA in a bloody takeover. Abbas cannot hold elections because Hamas will win hands down. How do you negotiate peace with people who want every Jew dead?
basilico: Trump intends to grow the military might He has already begun to curb wastage like DEI, lbgtq, pride months etc The money will go up not down but for actual military causes not social engineering
Grow the military might for what purpose? I thought y'all were anti-war. You want to find new ways of bleeding the national purse in the name "growing the military might"....
Or maybe you are just pussies who like to go after minorities but not the balls to take on those that are truly screwing the country.
raumdeuter: The American taxpayers dont want their taxes funding trans in Colombia or DEI in Serbia. The DoD budget is what is keeping our allies like you in Europe from speaking Russian now. The biggest country in the world needs a strong military
Your opinion and the truth are on different Planets. You have absolutely no clue about the side that you claim to stand for.
Over 600,000 private contractors supplying the DoD in many instances up to 300% over market prices. Some instances, $4900 for toilet seats. But your problem is DEI.
You are all bloody hypocrites. You want to save money? Go head on after Military Industrial Complex. Buncha bully-supporting MAGA nonsensicals going after powerless Serbia.
raumdeuter: Some of these positions on govt foreign spending was what made Bernie popular in both presidential attempt before the Dem establishment canned him We all know these spending have been going on under Republican and Democratic leadership for years and many politicians look away because of their own interest I am sure some Republican establishment Senators will just be glad that this didn't blow up under their watch even though they jointly approved most of it with other Dems in the past
Do you really want to be the candidate or spokesman that want to go before struggling Americans and try to justify these type of spending (See the list the Trump press secretary showed yesterday)? And your comeback is that the man uncovering(one of the reasons you are suffering) is a felon or a Nazi
These are for the echo-chamber. Those who are paying attention know where the ultimate wastage is.
When Elon Musk and DOGE reach the DoD to cut 60% of that $900bn annual budget, give me a buzz.
Unlimited22: Lol People will defend anything as long as e enter agenda
Don't mind Popi. He will try to convince the whole world that it is easier for a left-footer to score from the left side, on their left foot, at tighter angles, than on the right, with the same foot.
You will like to calm down sir. Dude is only 19, before you guys start to call him dumb and mentally- challenged.
I would say, at the minimum, he does pass the eye test on all rudimental midfield attributes. Strength, pace, technique. It remains to be seen how he translates that to tactical football. And also, if he's not just another Doctor.
To be fair, I have not seen that playing style in a very long time. He reminds me of Edgar Davids.
