Last nights performance was so bad and very worrying for the future, after recent games it felt like this was going to happen soon and it's rare to say that not a single player left the pitch with any praise.

My main observation is that every good team has a good spine to it, our spine yesterday was Kepa, Christensen, Jorginho and Abraham, possibly the weakest I have seen at Chelsea for a while, luckily we have options - Abraham can be replaced by Giroud and Werner next season, Jorginho can be replaced by Kante or Kovacic, but from my point of view we have no suitable options for the goalkeeper or centre half position.

We need to sign a new goalkeeper and a new centre half asap.

I’d take Pope as a short term fix he’s a decent keeper and aerially consistent. Think Donnarumma would be best in the long run.


2.) 12 Jul 2020 10:29:27
O'Nana may possible be the signing Chelsea make. He would be the long-term choice. Fantastic Goalkeeper. Pope would be the 2nd choice, however Pope is really good too.

Sorry I'd rather not reply to any thread linking us to the defeat vs Sheffield. Its in the past and the less said the better now. We move on.


4.) 12 Jul 2020 12:34:57
Problem with Onana is AFCON eventually. I know there’s not one this year but after that it will be on again. I don’t like losing our number 1 keeper for sometimes a month.

I think the Rudiger signing is a great bit of business, we basically sold Ake for £20million and got Rudiger for £29million. Whilst I quite like Ake he basically had half a good season on loan with Bournemouth, we've replaced him with a guy that's played over 60 games for Roma, finished runners up in the league last year, and is a regular starter for Germany. And we have a buyback on Ake.

Whats there not to like?

Fair point. I suppose on the other hand Ake has progressed at a high level through the youth system and did a great job for Bournemouth, and for Chelsea when coming back. What more does a player have to do to get a sustained chance in the first team. If anyone deserved a chance it was Ake.


2.) 10 Jul 2017 08:59:13
I expect CFC to go for Ake after couple of years when Cahill will not be considered as squad player.
I think because of experience at playing major tournaments Cahill got point over Ake.

I think we are now all seeing Conte at his ruthless best, if he feels a player isn't quite good enough or let's him down then they will be moved on. Winter transfer window - Oscar, Mikel and Ivanovic all gone, so far this window Terry, Begovic, Atsu, Cuadrado, Solanke and Ake . Probably Costa, Matic and Zouma next. Conte obviously doesn't do sentiment, you have to remember he walked out on Juventus because they wouldn't match his ambition, but he does do winning.

I can't wait to see who he's bring in.

Mate do you think at CFC he got all the power to decide whom to buy and whom to sell.


2.) 30 Jun 2017 21:10:54
he is in the group of people that decides and will have a big influence on who leaves, who texted Costa that he was no longer part of his plans?


3.) 30 Jun 2017 21:11:50
IF we do sign Lukaku, I can almost guarantee you that he is not a Conte signing. Im sure he'd prefer either Belotti or Morata.

Last night was brilliant! I think we learnt 3 things -

1. We mustn't let Hazard leave, when he is fully fit and confident we do not have another player in his class.

2. Fabregas needs to play deeper, he has much more influence in this role.

3. Matic is still struggling and I'm not sure he will regain his best form, its painful to watch but he might need a fresh challenge somewhere else next season, I feel for the guy.

Other players have struggled this season - Hazard, Ivanovic, Costa, Fabregas but they have all shown glimpses of a return to form where as Matic still seems to be a long way off.

swcfc

1.) 03 May 2016 13:08:45
I thought Matic did okay at least he's proved he can be class, Mikel has never been more than a squad player. I think a change to 4-3-3 and a midfield of Nainggolan, Matic and Fabregas will see him back to his best.


2.) 03 May 2016 16:09:57
Second half Matic tackled and moved the ball forward extremely well. Mikel can't even tackle. Fabregas is better deeper as you say.


3.) 03 May 2016 17:13:21
Matic broke up play very well last night - needs to be told just to sit in front on the two centre backs rather than venture forward.


4.) 03 May 2016 20:22:54
It breaks my heart to say it, but a further thing we learnt last night is that JT has to go if we are to challenge next year. The problem all season has been that when JT plays we have to sit so deep to accommodate his lack of pace - we saw it in the 1st half yesterday, with Hiddink screaming from the touchline for the team to push up. When we are forced to sit so deep, it does not allow our forwards to press high - in the 2nd half we did push up as we had to at 0-2 and look at the result (although Spurs contributed greatly by losing it! ) .


5.) 03 May 2016 21:57:38
Tottenhams two goals come from ivanovic bad passes between and mikel didn't they?

How has it got to a point where Everton - a mid table team- have six players that would walk into out team, Lukaku, Stones, Coleman, Baines, Barkley and McCarthy.

How has this been allowed to happen?

swcfc

1.) 12 Mar 2016 19:58:50
MCCarthy no and stones no he can't even get a game at Everton anymore.


2.) 12 Mar 2016 21:08:39
Have you looked at the league table lately, Chelsea are also a mid table team.


3.) 12 Mar 2016 21:26:08
Looking at it as an 'outsider', you have so many underperforming players, compared to last season.

Terry, Matic, Hazard, Cesc, Ivanovich, Hazard, Oscar and Costa.

No coincidence that a lot of them play in the same position as the Everton players you listed above.


4.) 12 Mar 2016 21:46:57
Hazard is so bad I mentioned him twice.
That's how poor he's been :-)


5.) 13 Mar 2016 00:46:58
Dagenham, how bad is your team? Alla apart cech is underperforming, and you have to remember that cech was sitting on the bench.


6.) 13 Mar 2016 01:44:48
You mean the Arsenal team that is currently challenging for the title?


7.) 13 Mar 2016 07:15:46
Nice deflection boys,

Original poster is talking about Chelsea not Arsenal.

You talking about Arsenal doesn't answer your own question does it :-)


8.) 13 Mar 2016 08:24:35
You really do enjoy coming on here when we are hurting don't you gunner? Karma my friend.


9.) 13 Mar 2016 08:37:30
Why are ye on about karma Dagenham was getting involved in the discussion about how poor our players have been and g8 and super are having a pop about Arsenal as mentioned above are still in the fa cup and are still challenging for the title and they have a great chance of winning both don't have a dig and Dagenham infairness iv never seen him come on here and take the Micky out of us.

{Ed025's Note - dags is pretty fair Mhh, he visits many sites and is never abusive or condescending, its all just banter mate which is fair game and encouraged and he never gets out of hand as far as i know..


10.) 13 Mar 2016 10:03:35
Quite agree Dags and g62 are always fair and not abusive or on the wind up. As ed25 said its a banter site and I don't object to other teams supporters having their own opinion on our players. What is your opinion of the team ed25 and the comparison between the two sides, if I am not mistaken u support Everton.?


11.) 13 Mar 2016 15:22:53
Everton deserved the win no question der today they wanted it we didn't . again matic an mikel are so poor it's going to be a long finish to the season but let's be hopefull we are the mighty Chelsea we will get back on track it's not all about buy buy buy either we have some very good young players out on loan that could get a chance on our team ake and Christiansen especially give our young talents a go come on u blues win or lose wel support the blues.

I agree with Sid, the best thing would be for Conte and Costa to sit down and sort out their differences now.

I think Conte would see him as a wing back, I agree with some of the other comments he is only 20 and very raw, but he has massive potential I've never seen pace and power like he has. The stats say he has no end product but training with better players and a great manager will help, he can only get better.

TomB, I know exactly how you feel. I have been going to Chelsea for nearly 50 years, my Dad and Grandfather supported Chelsea as do my brothers and my son’s.
Now I also find myself disconnected and yesterday didn’t want to go or even watch the game, I watched the Solheim Cup instead.

I’m really hoping that the old feeling will return and I am sure that it will at some point.

Finally I agree with a previous poster, I would move Enzo Fernandez straight back in a double pivot, I see no sign that he is a number 10 or 8.

I agree with your points whitey97, you can play any formation you like but if player's make individual errors like yesterday then it goes out of the window.

I know he scored yesterday but was disappointed with Abraham, felt he deserved a chance after the Barnsley game bit didn't take it.

I also watched the interview last night, what a brilliant attitude for a footballer and his English is very good, thought he had an excellent game and probably would have scored if other players had been on his wavelength.

Unfortunately Kepa is going to be an expensive mistake, not good enough and never will be, and I know that’s harsh.

Happy with the win.

Was at the game last night and unfortunately we were given a lesson by a very good Bayern Munich team.

Talking after the game the feeling is we probably need 4 or 5 new players to get near this level - goal keeper, left back, centre half, centre forward and winger.

On the question of shape, if I could make one change it would be to move Kante back to a holding midfield position for the rest of the season.
