In all stat metric Chelsea seems to be a top 4 team. Should be serious about their project now. But still not worried
If they get top 4 I would be worried. They will spend $200M plus again and will definitely get Osinhem plus more attackers. Probably another defender too they will be a threat.
They have no plan with their signings just whatever talent is available they’re interested in. They will never be a threat doing that not how football works - when they actually start building around a manager with a clear philosophy and culture they will fail
Disagree because if you throw enough money around you will find something that works and its clearly starting to.
They were better than us in our game. Better than City in theirs. Better than pool. They have had some shaky outings but its clearly a talented core thats improving. They will only get better.
they were not better than us nope
Pretty much. They’re like your mate that can’t get a 9 to go out with him so he dates a 7 and tells everyone she’s a 9. Enzo and Moises aren’t worth half of what they paid for them. To top it off they guaranteed their contracts for 8 fucking years so they have no incentive to even prove it.
Osimhen will have the pick of every team in the world if he chooses to leave. The chance he ends up at Chelsea is slim to none
If they get top 4 he is going to Chelsea they are the only ones who will pay as much as everyone wants.
He’s definitely got £125m Chelsea transfer, averaging 14 league goals a season written all over him
Chelsea doesn’t pay crazy wages anymore and he is established and talented enough now to not be tempted by a 8 years contract that will handcuff him to Chelsea…
i don’t think they can do 8 year contracts anymore if they qualify in europe
i mean they can do it but the transfer fee will not be spread along those years, so there is a chance they will stop with this after they qualify to europe
as long as they stuck with jackson, they ain’t going anywhere
1 billion quid spent on a team that already cost close to 2 billion… shouldn’t even be a project they should be dominating - their standards are in the bin after last season that’s the only reason Poch hasn’t been sacked already
Their metrics look decent but that’s what happens you spend £135m on two CMs but have Jackson up front and Sanchez in goal
Joke of a club
To be fair, we spent 165m on mids this transfer window and have had nketiah up too this season
Id take 1 Nketiah for 20 Jacksons
We don’t have the same funds, we needed midfielders more than strikers. I suspect if we had more money to spend we’d go for a forward option.
We did and we’re not 10th like them as a result 😂 if we spent that much in all areas of the team like they did we’d be well ahead probably (if only we didn’t spaff £65m on their flop tho)
Also our whole front line cost around the same as Mudryk so they should have way more depth than us up front even with Nkunku injured
To reiterate: a billion pounds invested into a billion pound team. Not even close to the same thing.
That Liverpool high pressure 👀
Thats been scrapped ages ago. You can tell they like to sit back more and let their opponents come to them instead
They just like to attack zinchenko
we just need to stop allowing the bigger teams to do better than this , and we’ll do great this season (teams like spurs, chelsea, newcastle)
Sheffield really doesn’t want you too have that corner
Also, looks like Martinelli and Saka gonna have a good day at Brentford!
Saka gonna rip Brentford a new one.
I think this kind of shows why Arteta relies in Saka so much. Pretty much all the teams are most exposed going down the RW or conversely, that’s how most teams develop their attack through the RW.
Palace allows you to progress your ball straight through the middle gap
“No ball for you!” -Arsenal 2023
Crystal palace leftback and luton right back need to be scouted.
I find crystal palace really interesting. For a team that doesn’t have the squad to completely control the ball like the top teams, surely their heatmap is absolutely textbook? Defend your box super well, let them play in their own half and your wide areas
Luton has that corner on lock
sheffield keeping the other corner covered 🤝
