nateevs:
What are you talking about? You are evading what is clearly a political struggle and talking about a purely technical matter.

This is a football club. There cannot and must not be a political struggle that impacts player choices by the manager. End of!

Let the manager you trusted to hire live and die by his own choices. Don't tell him who he should and should not have to play. If it doesn't work out using his own methods, then move him on.

When 5h!t like this starts to happen, the manager pushes back by whatever means, including trying to play people out of form just to prove a point.....a point of power ..... a point of who controls the team choices.

What sort of manager do you expect to sit and listen to the medical team tell him, oya play this guy, oya remove this guy at 65, Director say im value must not drop?

That's a sitting duck manager whose views will never be accepted by players. There will be dressing room turmoil, the fans hating the manager for unnecessary rotations, and the club loses the impact it was trying to exert in the first place.

How you see all this and begin dey argue another thing beats me.
which one is political struggled again, or you just want to blow grammar. I asked you did you not read where he agreed to the said working termz?

If anyone is evading anything, you did, answer this question first before trying to compare a working relationship to political struggle. It's not like we are talking about boehly vs his "friend" eghbali.

You wrote and I quote " If it doesn't work out using his own methods, then move him on." did you consider if "his methods" breeched a contract term to work in a certain way with certain players.

Bro we are talking about someone UNDER EMPLOYMENT which one is "including trying to play people out of form just to prove a point.....a point of power ..... a point of who controls the team choices." Bro if someone you EMPLOYED did this and wants to leave would you beg them to stay.

Please tell us nateevs did maresca want to continue managing in Chelsea and are these reasons sufficient for him to walk out mid season.

the only thing I may the board didn't do for maresca was get him a cb but they did almost every other thing, and maybe get him a top att mid.

I don't know where you got this from that you are asking me
"What sort of manager do you expect to sit and listen to the medical team tell him, oya play this guy, oya remove this guy at 65, Director say im value must not drop?"

Where did you read that it's the medical team that said so that their value would not drop but to answer your question bro, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO LISTEN TO THE MEDICAL TEAM TELLING YOU TO REST SOME PLAYERS. Can't even believe you asked me that honestly.

Bro asking me to see your propaganda on how medical advise could to division in dressing is pure exaggeration.

Be quiet. Every Chelsea fan knows why Maresca makes 3 or 4 silly substitutions every 60 minutes mark without fail. He is under instruction. You are chasing game and bringing on Gittens and Tyrique or Delap, we all knew he was just sharing minutes for Blueco assets

All he said is if we are dropping points because of the silly substitutions you ask me to make, then give me grace and recognise that is the limitation of giving minutes to your players.

When faced with a Barca, PSG and in the run from February to May last season when we went on the best run to qualify for UCL, Maresca ditched the high rotations and knew what was required to see games out with tactical solidity. But when he's sharing minutes for BlueCo that's when we drop points anyhow.
I thought you liked his tactics and was calling him next guardiola. I'm shocked by your change of tune now he's gone

Crazy fun fact!

Ever since AFCON was expanded to 24 teams, every single team who got 9 points in the group stage and play a 3rd placed team got eliminated in R16.

* 2019 Egypt 9 points, South Africa third in their group defeated them.

* 2019 Morocco 9 points, Benin third in their group defeated them.

* 2021 Nigeria 9 points, Tunisia third in their group defeated them.

* 2023 Senegal 9 points, Ivory Coast third in their group defeated them.

Now in 2025 Algeria and Nigeria finished with 9 points in their groups. Nigeria will face Mozambique, third in their group BUT Algeria will be facing Congo DR who did NOT finish third in their group.

Brace up guys, it's end of the road for Nigeria. grin grin grin

treacherous ke. We can't use a win or draw against City to win the league. But the business of bad belle will be fine if City keeps up the pressure with Arsenal. This will give Chelsea fans joy. Ask yourself the reason why Tottenham fans were supporting City to win them when Arsenal was almost winning the league last two seasons. It's the same thing here bro.

It's always annoying when coaches try to copy the pep guardiola model at bayern but not completely.

This is robben on his favourite right side with lahm overlapping creating multiple options for him.

Robben also switched to the left sometimes in the same game.

Was also on the left side before Lewandowski scored.

But it is a crime for me to ask fake pep to demand the same from his players

This is bullshit abegiiiii

We dropped points last season for many reasons, and honestly, rotation was a very minor one. Rotation isn’t a big issue at all—even during our CWC run, we rotated the squad. We have a very young and promising team that needs rotation. You can’t keep players on the bench for no reason; they need game time to develop. Without minutes, they’ll stagnate.

On top of that, some of our players are very injury-prone. If you keep relying on the same few players just because they’re good and leave others on the bench, it’s only a matter of time before injuries force those benched players in anyway. That’s why rotation is so important—rest some players while giving others opportunities to grow.

Sticking rigidly to one squad, like some people suggest, only makes us overly dependent on certain players. Look at the injury crisis we had with Colwill—it was a huge blow largely because we weren’t rotating. If we had been rotating him with Josh Acheampong or Anselmino, that situation could have been avoided
