Everton vs Chelsea (PL) Saturday 21st March 17:30 GMT

Last 8 games...2 reds, Conceded 18 goals & scored 12... But that's only cos we bate villa & Wrexham & scored 4 each time. 🙄.. that's 2 wins, a draw against Burnley, 5 losses..., big losses & they think this outfit are good enough for Europe!... Not only would a decent manager not want it cos of the board but they'll struggle to get any decent players apart from u20s that are being offered long term contracts..... Palmer has signed out as has Caicedo on tonights performance, Lavia looked like someone that hadn't kicked a ball in 6 months... Apart from Estavao there's nothing there worth sh*t... Cucu just gets frustrated & ends up with stupid bookings... Manager will never get these pricks on his side, they have no desire or fight for the shirt, outrun every game & I've watched them all unfortunately... Need a manager that's gonna rule with fines etc for petulance & can put a team out that doesn't play this sh*t of passing backwards all the time, can prove they want to be a footballer & want to win things rather than sit on long contracts..... Maybe Liam is out of his depth but the players are too, if they don't want to do it for the manager then they have to step up & do it for themselves & the fans at least....

Everton were on front foot for every period of their play... KDH looked a different player than when he was with us... He had so much room when he got the ball instead of 40 passes around the back before it went forward, he looked decent.🙄 Compare that to our ball forward, only goes forward when opposition are in place ffs....turned off before 3rd goal, just couldn't watch that dross any longer... Awful display again...

 
Whenever there is a problem its always manager and coaching team...same players played excellent against Barca and PSG for 72 mins ! They need good coach manager and board that supports them

 
Sacking Managers is never a great look in quick succession but we need to bare in mind that neither Potter, Maresca or Rosenoir have a CV anything like good enough to have the Job as Chelsea Manager I'm not sure they have the CV to be number two here.

We all know the owners are giving whoever manages the squad a tough task but a proper manager would get much more out of them than this.

Maresca on occasion had them playing well but unless every sub he made was arranged by someone above him (which if it was, he should have walked earlier) then his inexperienced at this level cost us.

This bloke for me is a step down from Maresca and with a young team I just don't think they can scrimp on manager quality.

I hear the "what elite manager would want the job with this model" but if not an elite manager at least somebody with a bit of Chelsea in him, I'd love to see Fabregas here but again that's risky, I'd back him a lot easier than the lot that have lucked in here lately.

Frank would at least make me feel like he wanted the boys to win and he had a tougher job when he was here than this.

Coming in to manage a team with our history and standing sitting 4th in the league, still in the CL, in the FA Cup, and in the semis of the Carabao is unimaginable for a manager sacked by Hull.

I don't know if I believe that the manager is being told who to play and sub on.

If I was manager and played the team influenced by the board which results in bad football and poor results, I would rebel, play and pick the team that I WANT. If that generates way better performances and results, then the board can't do any sacking. I've never seen a manager sacked for winning.

I don't believe Maresca jeopardise his job and reputation to manage the team how the board requested.

 
We have simply become a sad team with lazy players applying the schemes of a manager devoid of any charisma.

It is essentially a mirror of our current property.

There is a lack of any attachment to the idea of what Chelsea represented.

Unfortunately, going forward like this risks sinking.

 
Rosenior’s management style seems to be to play to our weaknesses.

The opposition only has to play a through ball to a forward who will be one on one with a centre back. That’s all it takes.

Does Rosenior think that the opposition don’t watch our previous games?

It’s like having a teenager in charge.

 
Ndiaye I used to watch a fair bit when he was at Sheffield United. Very skillful player.

Betos first finish was very nice. Touch of class.

 
Liam Ro-Seeya - it's time for you to pack your school bag and get the... out of our club. A puppet of the owners and the human embodiment of Alexa in interviews. He has nothing hidden in the closet labelled "Talent". Worst manager in my living memory, easily. If he's still managing at our next PL match then the club is doomed and the owners intentions will be obvious, winning is secondary, making money is all that counts. Yanks... morons.. the lot of them.

 
It’s clear Rosenior is a poor manager.. his defensive set up is week and press even weaker.. every time in all 4 matches opposition has the ability to look up and pass.. there is no press .. in the early part he said he didn’t get to coach .. glad he didn’t since we won a few matches .. because more he coaches the poorer we become in structure.

 
Sack Rosenior that will fix everything.

said the same under maresca, poch, lamps, potter...

the problem is that these managers all keep doing the same thing. They keep plying slow and stagnant football. Need to out a rocket up their arse and let the handbrake off

 
No its not, but he should have stayed at Strasbourg

Didn't someone mention the owners let it be known to him he would be sacked if he didn't accept the Chelsea job? It would not surprise me at all if this were true.

 
Explain Maresca, Pochettino, Potter, Lampard , Tuchel sackings

@Deino 's assessment also applies to the players, I suspect quite a few (the ambitious ones who are good enough to even have options) are looking around for a summer transfer. If they get their way and Blueco accept offers, we'll be left with the dross, probably new dross coming in, including an incompetent head coach.

I CANT BELIEVE THAT, IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SACKED IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED TERRIBLE FOR BLUECOS IMAGE, HE THOUGHT HE HAD WON THE LOTTERY SO COULDNT WAIT TO JUMP ON BOARD

 
We made them look good. A pathetic and very worrying performance.

All they had to do was be more aggressive than us, that is all it took to win. Just outrun us and outmuscle us. It's that easy. These footballers are horribly trained and horribly coached. Literally like watching an Under 21 team try and compete with fully grown professional footballers.

Its exactly this. We are just a poorly managed and poorly coached squad. Having no leader on the pitch makes it even worse. The constant sloppy passing like a school boy team just amazes me. The lack of effort and desire to run through brick walls to win just infuriates me. This is why I hate football and hate this squad because they're not even working their hardest.

U-21 teams always used to have a couple of "over age" players, who weren't quite good enough for the senior level, and were just treading water until they were sold, and getting "minutes" to keep their fitness levels up.

In games like yesterday's, it feels like our team is made up of 11 of those "over-age" players ...

Yes. Apparently there were some delays appointing him because he wanted to stay at Strasbourg and gain more experience before taking a bigger job. Ultimately he was told that he would not be able to stay at Strasbourg so he had to take the position at Chelsea or find another job.

Agree with that. Sadly.

 
Your persistent, weekly optimism is an object lesson.

Cheers.

The first season I was a supporter, as a seven year old football mad youngster way back in 1974-75, we got relegated! DOH !!

I always just hope that we win.

Come on Chelsea!
