Agree Tom

Despite being hit by injuries, they are at their consistent best.

19 Mar 2024 20:27:56
Well done to our Chelsea Ladies, 3 nil away to Ajax and one foot in the Champions League Semi finals. Great for the club, the brand, the global support, the revenue. Blue Co. seeing the big picture.

HI ed002, sorry for the confustion, but do you mean osimhen does not care if chelsea don't have ucl football, or do u mean he wants European football, so would prefer a club with europe, like psg.

{Ed002's Note - No, it is less likely he will be joining now.}

Agree0 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 16:36:26
Where does that turn our attention, obviously gyokeres is well liked amongst premier league teams, may be hard for Chelsea with better situated teams also after him.

20 Mar 2024 08:29:14
Lets go with the lads we have up front, they will have had a season of premiership experience under their belt and will be much better next season.

19 Mar 2024 13:21:36
HI Ed002, thanks for all the work you do, any news on locko or robinson, as well as the goalkeeper situation. have a good day.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

I've been very critical of Marc Cucurella but he has been superb recently. I hope he can keep up this run of form and continue improving.

Sterling has been poor but I'm backing him to hit form again soon.

Agree0 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 13:41:55
Standard I hope so. I’ve got him all over 12 goals this season in a charity bet.

19 Mar 2024 16:13:42
I disagree about Cucurella, I don't think there has been any improvement.

Sterling will score the next big chance he gets. He had a stinker in front of goal but was still key to almost everything good about Chelsea v Leicester. I'm not sure why he's getting such grief for his free kick, sometimes you catch them wrong. Pretty sure he's scored 2 of our 3 this season.

Madueke coming on against tired legs of 10 men and scoring a screamer with the last kick of the game doesn't change the fact that Sterling is one of the few who routinely find themselves in scoring positions.

19 Mar 2024 21:15:38
RBD, mostly I'm with you on Cuca. I feel like City's interest in him was trolling our new owners – you can't really imagine him in a Pep team.

Sterling might be the player I've been most frustrated watching in memory. (Even Malouda had that one incredible season. ) So obviously talented, but only plays to that talent twice or so a season. No concentration. Messes up countless easy chances/ passes/ touches but then pulls something undeniably brilliant from the bag (see the City game) . The fact that he's meant to be the elder statesman of the team and
then pulls a stunt like the pen says it all really. Plays in such a petulant and immature way – terrible body language when a pass doesn't come through, countless easy goals not scored due to his selfishness (immediately remember when he should've squared to Palmer in a previous game to put that one to bed), endless counters broken down at the crucial moment when the ball comes his way. even that Udogie red earlier in the season against Spuds was a consequence of an easy through ball so badly mirubbish that you can barely credit it came from the boot of a top-level footballer.

Having said all of that, our own fans booing him is shameful. I really don't understand how people think getting on players' backs is going to help a team (especially a team of mostly young players) . I'd love to see one whole season of the fans giving it all like the Dortmund fans and what a difference that would make – maybe we'd still be sh*t but at least teams coming to play us would be a bit intimidated.

19 Mar 2024 22:02:30
EdW, I’m also not a fan of supporters booing at individual players.

I can’t see what it achieves. No player deliberately has a bad game.

19 Mar 2024 23:17:12
EdW you will not be surprised that I agree with you about Sterling except when you referred to him as a top-level player. I don’t agree with supporters booing players or the team but I guess some fans see it as the only vehicle for expressing their opinions and frustrations. Stamford Bridge has never been an intimidating ground for other teams as far as the crowd is concerned. There was a time when teams were intimidated by us on the pitch but those days have gone.

20 Mar 2024 08:59:10
Tbh I don't think Cucurella was a terrible signing in isolation, the fee was obviously way too much but as far as I recall we payed more in order to ensure Colwill only went there on loan. He was a highly regarded player. He just hasn't worked out, hasn't improved at all and is constantly at fault for goals.

His complete inability to deliver any kind of useful pass or cross into the box is baffling for a player who came through at Barcelona. He still flies out of defence and gets nowhere near the ball (hello Newcastle) and still gets roasted on the outside every game (worst example was Wimbledon) .

As for Sterling, I agree that he's paid like a world class player and he hasn't shown that at Chelsea. But until one of the other wingers shows they can do all the basics as well has him, they aren't going to play. I think part of the booing stems from the fact that we are being briefed in the media that a player like Gallagher who gives everything for the shirt is being unreasonable with his wage demands, while Sterling who is paid more than twice what Gallagher is supposedly asking for often goes missing.

20 Mar 2024 10:56:57
RBD, Sterling was shocking last season along with virtually every other player. This season he started well and the fans in the ground were ok but in the last few weeks the fans attitude towards him has been toxic.

I’ve said before he is a marmite player but recently even when he just receives the ball there is groan from some fans.

His performances have to get the majority of fans back onside but there are some that will never support him and can’t wait to say, “I told you so. ”.

20 Mar 2024 11:22:40
Cucurella has improved this year imo. He still needs to improve a lot more but atlwast can can complete a 5 yard pass this year.

20 Mar 2024 13:54:22
For sure Tom, there's a large portion of people that just don't like Sterling for whatever reason. Certain dregs of the British press treated him disgracefully earlier in his career and I think the tar they brushed him with is difficult for people to get out of their heads.

The fact remains, and I'll let others decide what they want to take away from this, he's the best winger at the club.

20 Mar 2024 14:26:59
RBD, he certainly is.

20 Mar 2024 20:47:48
Wasn't Palmer nominally signed as a winger?

If Sterling is our team's best winger (discounting the above) that's a damning indictment of the money spent (which we all know anyway) . Having said that, winger is possibly the position on the pitch that looks the worst without confidence, and many of our players seem to be lacking that.

RBD, agree that the abuse Sterling has suffered during his career in the press is shocking – let's just call it directly what it is: racist.

And yes, I do think there's a good player in there, I just don't think he shows it anywhere near often enough. I remember being really excited by him when he burst onto the scene at Liverpool, but by the time his City career was midway through I didn't consider him a player in the same bracket as the other City players, and he seemed to have lost something of the spark that made him special in those first couple of seasons. I recall an England tournament debut (possibly? ) against Italy (in the Euros? ) when he spanked an early shot against the bar/ crossbar from about 30 yards out. (In hindsight that type of vicious long-range strike seems almost impossible to credit from him now. )

In response to 'until one of the other wingers shows they can do all the basics as well has him', I'd argue that it's exactly the basics he really doesn't seem to do well at all. I think I could forgive him most things if he wasn't constantly turning the ball over in dangerous areas/ ruining promising situations with terrible misplaced passes. His short and long passing accuracy this season must be atrocious – he certainly fails the eye test for an elite-level footballer in that regard. His dribbling also often strikes me as being straight at, and then into, players rather than using any kind of skill or close control to go around them. To mitigate this, he's come from City where players' movement disrupts defences – it's possible that he's so used to teammates drawing defenders in certain directions that, in match situations, under pressure, he's almost forgotten at a gut level how to improvise (the Pep programming), or leans on things that would have happened at City (a particular angle or pathway opening), but it also does often feel like another aspect of fairly basic skills not being up to scratch. With three managers across two seasons, our coaching isn't going to have been in any way consistent (and it seemed as though Tuchel didn't coach the attacking players in patterns of play really) .

But part of the major frustration with Sterling is also (and here's where I disagree with Jimbo) that when he does play well, finds that level of motivation, he looks unstoppable – and he's only really decided to do that against City this season. On his wages he should be stepping up like that every week – if he was we'd be a far better side. And that comes to RBD's point about Gallagher, which I agree with. Perhaps because it's Sterling he will be judged more harshly regardless. maybe you just give up a little internally faced with the kind of attitude he's faced from the press. Which brings us back to the fans booing, and what that adds or detracts from a player's mentality.

20 Mar 2024 21:31:09
EdW, I personally would never consider Palmer as a winger.

I agree with Sterling (in my opinion) being our most threatening winger, on “current form it has the bar quite low.

Strangely I think his best performances this season have been when he has played in front of James although generally speaking he has played on the left.

19 Mar 2024 13:23:24
Ed

I was just wondering, the money the premiership clubs eventually will pay to the EFL clubs, does this count towards PSR or is it separate
.

{Ed001's Note - as I understand it, the money comes out of the Premier League pot, not individual clubs money. So it will just mean the revenue will be lower.}

Agree0 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 15:40:37
Thank you ED.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

19 Mar 2024 08:58:39
2 points -

Ever since Ed mentioned osimhen almost certainly hoping Chelsea, his performances and this season haven't been great, and gyokeres has been a bettering ram and scoring goal after goal after goal. I worry whatever striker we get the curse is very real,

Other, what would it say if our owners replaced poch, what does it say about a project and process and long term stability, that would be tuchel potter, frank interim, poch and then a 5th in 2 seasons.

I get the disconnect with the fans but poch will get us higher up with a striker and more luck with injuries, let alone if we invested in proven talent rather than potential talent.

Agree1 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 09:44:06
Ivan Toney is elite. I'd target him.

{Ed002's Note - The situation has changed with Osimhen and no European football.}

19 Mar 2024 10:42:46
I would love us to sign Osimhen and I think Toney is ok. I’m sure the club has a list of alternatives so I will start getting excited closer to the next window. Who knows, we may have another pot in our trophy cabinet by then…. if only!

19 Mar 2024 13:30:12
I can definitely see Osimhen at PSG next year, and toney at arsenal (unfortunately), but I'm sure we'll find a suitable alternative. Thanks Ed.

19 Mar 2024 14:09:28
Damn, that update on Osimhen is a real shame. Given this news, my preference going into next season would be to bring in a experienced player who can make up for the holes currently lacking in Jackson's game. Someone who hits the near post and wins headers. I could definitely see us going in for Duran given this is what he excels at.
Banza or Solanke would also be good options that wouldn't be prohibitive in cost.

I think Jackson's game has improved a lot throughout the season, it may be prudent to try and bring in goals around him and see what he can become.

Jackson
Nkunku Carney Palmer

is an exciting attacking proposition, the problem being that without Gallagher the midfield seems to implode on itself.

19 Mar 2024 15:21:32
Just give Jackson more time to develop and maybe Fofana as back up? I'm really liking Jackson and our forwards are starting to click now with our XG very good. Sort a centre back and we are in great shape.

20 Mar 2024 11:30:02
G8 were 11th. A long way to go.

20 Mar 2024 11:30:13
G8 were 11th mate. a long way to go yet.

PSR Regulations

19 Mar 2024 07:39:06
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, PSR Regulations

Agree0 0Disagree

19 Mar 2024 08:46:11
Thanks Ed for the brilliant PSR summary. I urge all posters to read it.

Just one quick question from me Ed. Going forward if we sign a young player (18 ish) for a fee is he seen as a youth player and therefore does that signing sit outside the proposed percentage of revenue calculation? I hope that makes sense.

I was also going to ask about image rights but it’s to early in the morning!

Thanks again for the summary and have a nice day.

{Ed001's Note - it won't matter, if the new PSR comes in, youth etc will no longer be excluded. The total wage budget, any transfer fees paid by the club for any players, plus agent fees, would all be calculated within the (potential) 85% allowance.

It should actually be better for Chelsea, they have higher revenue than most, allowing them to spend more.

I don't believe image rights would make any difference, other than how they affect revenue or how much they would be added onto the wage budget. It would count towards either of those. If you hold onto them as a club, then you gain revenue, but if the player gets his image rights, then you would lose that from revenue or possibly have to pay them within wages for the usage of their image rights.}

19 Mar 2024 10:35:25
Thanks for the clarification Ed. Much appreciated.

18 Mar 2024 13:29:34
I did not want Poch as our manager for many reasons none of them were connected to him being the past manager of the spuds.

I know want him to be our manager for many years to come and I will be truly gutted if our news owners change the management structure for the 4th time in there two year ownership.

I think Poch has been given a tough gig with so many new players along with our consistent injury problems.

I'm my opinion he has made mistakes in team selection and tactics but that's just me using hindsight and all managers make mistakes.

I have, in recent weeks, seen signs of improvement and generally we have matched the so called top sides in the big games toe to toe. Midfield players are looking to receive the ball and get beyond the forwards. We are also at long last keeping our shape.

So OWNERS, please stick with him.

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 14:16:50
I'm leaning towards your thinking Tom, though I have felt since November or so that Poch would be replaced at the end of the season.

I too think that Poch has had a far harder job than a lot of people are prepared to admit, and he's largely done it ok. There have been some head scratchers, and the cup final was such a low it would have been hard to feel sympathetic if he had been sacked there and then.

I like a lot of the signings that have been made and I don't really even dislike the thinking behind some of the signings that haven't worked. But the squad is fundamentally flawed, and in addition to that we've had simply extraordinary injury problems.

Overall I think he has managed the squad pretty well. He's given debuts to deserving academy graduates and done his best to bed in all of the signings. It's easy to take this for granted, but ask yourself who else is going to give around 2100 minutes between Mudryk and Madueke? The vast majority of managers would have written them off after the second, let alone third, fourth or fifth chance that they have failed to do anything with.

We know the main targets for transfers and they will likely improve the squad regardless of who the manager is. Especially given there is no clear upgrade available I would stick and see where we are this time next year.

18 Mar 2024 15:36:42
I too want to keep the faith with Poch really optimistic .

In my opinion RE Signings

Sucesses Palmer Gusto Petrovic Jackson

Will be a success in time Cacaido Enzo Mudryk Carney Nkunku

May be a success in time Cucarella Diasi Lavia Madueke

Probably won't work out or need to sell to raise funds W Fofana Sterling (unlikely) Sanchez Badiashile

We all see things differently but I see us going in the right direction.

18 Mar 2024 18:26:22
I have seen nothing that changes my opinion about Poch, any slight improvement is probably due to the fact that the players are getting used of each other. I don’t see any style of play or identity being established. Poch is not a winner, he has never won anything and I doubt at this stage in his career that is going to change. His comments I often find tiresome.

18 Mar 2024 18:45:39
Jimbo, so you want him sacked then?

18 Mar 2024 19:34:43
The longer he stays in charge the longer our progress stalls. A change is clearly needed to guide this very gifted group of players to the next level. Klopp, Pep, Jose would of got us over the line in the Cup Final. Poch is not a winner sadly and his lack of discipline is and will continue to cost us.

18 Mar 2024 20:38:29
Tom, whether he stays on beyond this season is up the club. I expressed my opinion on him as a coach. I will be disappointed if he is our coach next season.

18 Mar 2024 20:45:40
Of course it’s up to club who our manager is now or next season. I was just seeking clarification on your opinion or your preferred course of action and you have done that. So thanks.

18 Mar 2024 22:20:19
Blimey Tom, you need to calm down mate. Posters are entitled to their opinion! Please don't shout anymore [capital letters] it isn't needed. I hope you are feeling ok.

19 Mar 2024 01:09:26
Not good enough for me no style of play I also read somewhere that he isn’t a great man manager and most of the high profile players he’s managed have been allowed to do what they want due to him just not being any good in them situations and players just run the show, which you can actually tell even with the penalty the other day we all know who the penalty taker is! but no. Another occasion of embarrassment by a so called senior player.
I wonder if anything was said? Seems like a good bloke but not Chelsea manager for me.

19 Mar 2024 04:19:02
G8, I’m fine thanks.

I use block capitals to emphasise not “shout. ” I have no problem how poster’s express there opinions, ask questions or clarifications.

18 Mar 2024 10:08:22
Debate Conor? Does he start if everyone is fit and on form? What is his best position? Is he a good squad player? Should he be sold if he doesn't lower his wage demands?
For me, he doesn't start as Mudryk is a better 10 than he is not to mention Nkunku, Carney and Palmer who can also play there. Is he better than Moises and Enzo? again, not for me. Is he a good squad player? yes, 100% and with 5 subs and constant injuries we should keep him if we can, he has been brilliant this season and is a warrior. After all, the finishing 11 is now as important as the starting 11. Should he be sold in the summer if he doesn't lower his wage demands? sadly, yes. The club now appears to have a sensible approach to wages (bar Sterling, Lukaku and James? ) and he needs to fit in.

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 10:55:25
We need Mudryk to develop as a wide midfield player not a 10 where we have better options.
I am sceptical about the wage demand comments and think it's a convenient way to justify selling him and balancing the books.
I would always keep a player like Conor and start him ahead of on paper more talented players.
Determination and work rate are so important in the PL over a longvhard season.

18 Mar 2024 10:58:10
I’m not sure about wage demands but if he doesn’t sign a contract my guess is he will be sold.

I can’t tell if he offers more than Chuka or Lavia for obvious reasons.

18 Mar 2024 12:59:54
I think he's been way more impressive for chelsea than enzo fernandes in the same position so it would be a little puzzling to sell him for me.

Connor is a sensational player and someone who plays for the badge. I for one would be heartbroken to see him go.

18 Mar 2024 13:04:40
Couldn't agree more KDrog. Great teams are built off of the backs of players like Gallagher who can perform across a range of positions to an excellent standard on a consistent basis. We've seen the 'wage demands' reason touted before and weirdly it only seems to apply to players who are already at the club and who can be sold for a tidy profit? Strange that. If Gallagher was at another club and someone could take credit for signing him he's the exact type of player we would buy.

I'm a huge fan of Chukwuemeka and think he has the potential to become a sensational player, but he offers none of the versatility of Gallagher. See also Lavia.

Maybe if we hadn't bought 3 midfielders for the same role for nearly 200m we wouldn't be having this conversation.

18 Mar 2024 13:50:17
Let me make it clear that Conor has impressed me more than I expected this season but hardwork in my opinion has to have a purpose plus end product.

If he chooses not to except the clubs offer then understandably he will almost certainly be sold as was Mount. We do not need any player leaving on a free transfer that’s for sure!

18 Mar 2024 18:36:30
Standard
It appears the decision was made about Gallagher before he had a chance to prove himself.
Buying Lavia and the other french kid both of whom have hardly played shows exactly the strategy if you can call it that.
Henderson who was at Liverpool is an example of someone whose importance exceeded his talents and it's those type of players who should be rewarded particularly when they are homegrown and passionate about the club.
In addition it sends out a terrible message to the academy players.

18 Mar 2024 18:50:57
We do have other academy players regularly playing in the first team.

I haven’t got a clue what criteria was used to sign other midfielders but I’m happy enough with the midfield players I’ve seen that we have signed this season.

18 Mar 2024 19:38:32
Gallagher is the perfect and very best squad player,
Can play the role that Oscar used to play, that high up pressing from minute 1-90 can play as box to box CM, can sit and screen and recover, he can do everything to a good standard, there will be games where his hard working skill set isn’t required and we need more technical players to unlock a defence, or won’t need him and another holding player, he has recently added goals, needs to add more end product but that’s a team issue and could be for others except palmer,

So what’s his reported value, £40m - could we buy a squad player who can start multiple positions, work as hard and contribute tactically to what coach wants for that price? Local boy, boyhood club? No chance, same situation as chalobah, chalobah is ideal squad player, can play 2/ 3/ 4 positions well enough, but we all know pure profit will likely be leading factor in who’s sold, ideally Gallagher lowers his demands and stays,

We need to have world class players and have best academy in the world that can produce players more than good enough to cover, and then maybe replace others, not spending £50m on players for the bench.

19 Mar 2024 11:26:51
Matt, Conor can be as local as he likes but if isn’t going to except the club’s offer then he has to be sold.

I personally think Chalaboa is as good as Disasi but the club has decisions to make in the CH department. We have Colwill, Humphrey’s and Gilchrist to make decisions about along with is Fofana ever going to be fit. My guess is Humphrey’s and Gilchrist will go out on loan but then that would make me think they won’t sell Chalaboa.

Remember spending more or less than a notional £50m doesn’t guarantee a “world class player. ”.

19 Mar 2024 13:24:59
Totally agree Tom, the ball is in Conor's court. Sign the contract or thankyou and move on.
The centre back situation is my biggest concern as none of them are truly that good at the moment. They all have potential and promise but it is such a vital area and I would like to see a bit of experience brought in. Like you I see loans for Alfie and Humphreys with Levi probably starting alongside either Disasi or Trevor. Is BB good enough? Wesley is injury prone and Silva is off.

19 Mar 2024 13:32:36
True TomB but I think RBD's point is very valid. Would his wage demands seem unreasonable if he was a player we were looking to bring in? I don't think so

Of course we are not aware of the figures touted so we're in the dark, but I think Gallagher wants to stay and just wants to be paid his market value which is very fair.

19 Mar 2024 13:49:41
Standard, Conor has every right to seek what thinks he is worth. I’m sure he will probably get more elsewhere but if he wants to stay he will have to except any offer the club makes. I guess it’s similar to the Mount situation.

I have no way of knowing what CG’s wage demands are but it is just as likely that if the club choose to sign another midfielder (I don’t think it will) that the new signing has lower wage expectations.

19 Mar 2024 18:55:47
I think the new wage structure is more towards lower base salaries with slightly higher appearance fees and win bonuses (most likely trophies)

Plenty reports seem to say CG wants around 150-200k/ week which is around what Enzo and Caicedo earn which on the one hand seems fair given current performances but then you have Palmer on a reported £75k/ week.

It’s definitely a balancing act for the club. Give Gallagher £150k and you’ll have Palmer asking for the same afterwards. Then maybe Jackson wants more than his reported 65k/ week.

Think we also need to be offering Gilchrist a new contract as I’m pretty sure his expires in 2025 which would mean he gets sold this summer if no new contract agreed.

18 Mar 2024 07:24:47
Good day Ed. I want us to look at this point now that the feeling is neutral, we didn't lose to think it's just because we lost.
I'm talking about the manager reviews by the fans on here. Imo we need a change as pochetino is never the right one for the job at Chelsea. We are going backwards and Chelsea known for winning trophies are now the shadow of themselves. He simply doesn't have the winning mentality of Chelsea regardless of the style. He's played in a few finals but never won any with Chelsea. No steel in his team and often very soft for the taking.
So I would like your views about the manager going forward. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I think there is a reasonable chance he will be replaced in the summer.}

Agree0 0Disagree

18 Mar 2024 13:01:27
Mistake made after mistake made unfortunately. I think a sensible option would be Mourinho, no one else available other than him would be an upgrade on pochetino.

I'd hate to see the numbers on how much money we've spent to sack managers under the boehly era. I'd wager it higher than atleast 1 premier league club.

18 Mar 2024 13:45:09
I’m not sure how much it cost to sack TT and he wasn’t appointed by our current owners or GP but Lamps was only temporarily employed anyway and Poch is still employed.

Of course you probably have extra cost that are part of most managers teams.

I personally wouldn’t have Jose back for a third time under any circumstances.

19 Mar 2024 06:39:29
I just look at our defence Tom and think how will this be fixed and the only answer to me is mourinho. A motivated, wiser, mourinho. Back for a third time and this time for a long time.

Who else is there?

19 Mar 2024 07:49:38
There were lots of people on this site telling me and everyone else that Poch is a perfect fit for our club and how he has a history of improving young players. I had a different view about his abilities but whoever we chose as a manager in my opinion would have needed time. I am prepared to give Poch time as I would have done any appointed manager, given our circumstances.

Putting aside Jose has never stayed anywhere for long and the league position he left us both times he got sacked, I think if we go down another new manager route we can do one hell of a lot better than him.

I wanted Naglesham rather than Poch when we were looking for a new manager and he is probably available and apparently we are strongly linked to the manager of Sporting Lisbon.

19 Mar 2024 08:24:03
I think we are a better side from last year. Yes we have had some terrible results and there are undoubtedly some players that need to move on but we have got to the league cup final and the FA Cup Semi. We are playing a lot better football now than under Potter and Frank.

I personally think the club will be making a mistake if they do not give Pochettino the opportunity to have one last transfer window and another year to prove what he can do.

19 Mar 2024 12:33:13
Whitey, I agree with your comparison in our team’s improved performances this year from last.

The problem in my opinion is an inherited expectation of continued success. Last season was a disaster and this season we are always one game away from a stream of negativity and media speculation.

You only have to look at this site to see how many posters go into hibernation when we get a good result or play well. We have far more individual posters when we lose than when we win.

For me, you support the team more through the bad times than in the good times. If that makes sense!

{Ed001's Note - that happens on every site Tom. There is a lot more traffic after a defeat.}

Ed I find that really weird.

Mind you I guess we live a society that prefers to moan about everything and blame everyone else.

{Ed001's Note - people love a moan. Plus what can you say about a win? When it is a defeat you can pick apart the team set up, tactics, subs etc. When they win there is not a lot to do other than celebrate.}

I guess it’s me thing, it’s just as important for me to come up with a reason as to why we played well as it is if we played badly!
