Look-Up!

What's people's take on Chelsea and Pochettino? Gets a very easy ride from the press compared to Utd, although if they win tonight they'll only be 3 points behind them.

With that squad though, surely they should be contenders. If they have everyone fit next year, a good manager should be at least competing for CL, and if City regress, a title. If they can't, you'd imagine huge financial implications are coming down the line.

They definitely worked their socks off in that last game against Villa.

In the second half, yes, they were dung in the first half, but that's the inconsistency of Chelsea and must be frustrating for Poch.

If Abrahamovich was still there would be well gone. All the money wasted spent lack a decent no 9 and goalie. Conor Gallagher as captain shows lack of leaders in the group too.

Defensively poor too for a team that need to improve up front. Doesn't seem to be much structure to them, not that I see much of them. Maybe that's the problem, squad too big with loads of talent means they don't stick to a system or settled 11. Probably need a manager who's a c**t.

Yes he would be gone months ago, doubtful if even appointed under Abrahamovich. He's a darling of the English media so an easy ride was expected.

Quote from: Blowitupref on April 27, 2024, 10:19:49 PMLate goal/winner for Chelsea disallowed. Pochettino thinks the decision was unbelievable but the ref missed a push in the back in the lead up to the goal and for me the correct decision in the end.

Very harsh to disallow. Very similar to Arsenal and Wolves last week when Jesus nudged Matt Doherty and goal was given.

Harsh? Clear foul that was as obvious as you would see on the street.
