If I seem stubborn in my views, you can guess why 🤷🏾♂️
My score card;
1. Called Sterling to be a vital cog 23/24 season during preseason
2. Called Gallagher hive long before most
3. Called to rely on Nkunku, Jackson & Broja before further additions. Broja hive long before most

Rodri getting too entitled these day. Beyond style, the objective is to win at all cost. Man City did it’s best to win at all cost so did Real Madrid. Such a bad loser.
@Blue_Footy
We've observed a similar situation with Haaland. Despite being a lethal goal scorer, his overall game doesn't quite match up to Jackson's level. Pep Guardiola articulated it well when he said, 'We have to create opportunities for Haaland to score’.
@Blue_Footy
We are no longer Cole Palmer FC atm. Other players are now stepping up, Madueke most especially. Makes the game easier. We are now setup wonderfully. To those who said it’s not about how we are set up hope they see they difference now
@Blue_Footy
Sesko is nothing like Osimhen. Sesko finishing is strong. Osimhen improves the team more, can run a one man show, can create goalscoing chances out of dead rubber, there’s no lost cause when it comes to Osimhen, he’s got traits of Drogba and Costa bar their finishing.

Instead of opting for De Zerbi, I would genuinely prefer Xavi. He has demonstrated ability to play well, nurture young talents, secure league victories, and boasts extensive experience in winning major trophies. He has also shared dressing rooms with many prominent star players.
@Blue_Footy
He can cry all he want but another key points to inverting Cucurella into midfield means we now have all of Cucu, Galla & Caicedo (high intensity and top dueler players) mopping up everywhere in the middle & around the pitch. Makes the work easy for each of the 3 and blesses the
@Blue_Footy
The most glaring indicator of his growth can be seen in the drastic drop in his yellow card accumulation. Jackson was thrown into the deep where many expensive striker buys have failed but Jackson embraced all alone with little experience and excelled
@Blue_Footy
We already had a season without European football and did not take advantage of it. The next phase for these players is playing mid week games. So yes definitely Europa League football
@_common_W_
Zidane really did a madness with 3 peat UCL. And people just want him to waltz back into management with just any team who can easily taint his image
@Blue_Footy
@caughtoffside
If Raheem Sterling feels he’s not getting a regular game time at Chelsea, then it is not because someone took his place but because he couldn’t justify his starting position enough with his own performances as one of the highest earners and senior member of the team.
@Blue_Footy
We would not be taking no sacepgoating of our boy. His game has really improved lately. Slowing down balls and picking up run again. Someone’s trying to shift blame with this or click bait
@Blue_Footy
I agree with Alan Shearer that Jackson needs a bit of protection and we can do that by signing another 9 as the main starter. Look at how Real Madrid is slowly introducing Arda Guler and Brahmin Diaz with less spot light. They will be the main players in another 2-3seasons
@Blue_Footy
One thing I won’t take away from Pochettino (though didn’t want him because I don’t think he’s a winning manager) is that, he has consistently embraced the challenge of winning in a club of Chelsea’s stature. Doesn’t shy away and embrace the challenge to deliver
@ConnCFC
Madueke is ahead of Mudryk but Mudryk is more of fans favorite. If Mudryk did half of what Noni did this season, the noise would have been off the roof. Respect to Noni full of confidence in his own ability. Another fine goal
@Blue_Footy
Missing chances is part of the game. Both top and non-top strikers misses goal. It’s all about how many you can make yourself convert. Jackson has converted 14 NPG and that is huge for his first introduction to the EPL
@CFCPys
He loved Pochettino. Poch protected him at every chance and gave him confidence when everyone including most of the fanbase were on his heels. Bound to feel emotional over the Poch’s sacking
@PremLeaguePanel
He’s mesmerizing, the ball sticks to his feet. Bag tricks to get past opposition, he need to sort out that final ball and end product. But what a joy to watch, hardly ever looses the ball
@Blue_Footy
I hate to use the word lucky for a team that has repeatedly clawed its way back from defeat or being underwhelming. This same Madrid played like this and defeated Man City. This is what you get when you prioritize mentality together with top technical skills
@Blue_Footy
It’s an insult to the whole fanbase to sack Pochettino and hear names like McKenna. For a club that has been playing well below its standards for 2seasons consecutively. The vision should be hiring a manager that can give Pep a run.
@FabrizioRomano
Palmer is Chelsea creativity, we are hardly imaginative without him. His signing changed our attack over night. Would be nice to observe what we look without him again. Carney might need to come in as a connector
@Blue_Footy
Its credit to Cucurella who seems to be plugging a lot of holes and creating spare passing options. It helps much also that Mudryk is starting from a less forward wing position in attempt to cover for Cucurella. Badiashile used Mudryk as an outlet couple of times because of this
@TheAthleticFC
Brilliant from Bayern fans doing their best to retain a world class coach. Bayern board has been getting a lot of decisions wrong in recent times
@Blue_Footy
Bayern does not have the tools to face off Madrid players 1v1. Their midfielders are actually limited. They must push back and defend. They defended for majority of the game, not possible they will stop few minutes to go
@CFCPys
@SamC_reports
Chelsea playing Man City beginning of season would either represent a boost for the team to keep going if we win them or represent a quick wake up call for the season ahead. Both good for the squad
@Blue_Footy
A good balance has to be struck. Strasbourg need some signings that will be main stay in the team for continuity and consistency. And then a few for dev as well as on loan from us
@Blue_Footy
He’s choked for 3 seasons consecutively now. He still haven’t attained more points than Pochettino did at Spurs. So people who would like to say he’s better than Poch should have a hard think before jumping the gun
@Blue_Footy
True, next season is about cementing this season’s performance and proving this isn’t a one season wonder. But we all know it isn’t a one season wonder thing because both the eye test and stats prove Cole Palmer is nothing but a genius
@Blue_Footy
I’m praying 🙏🏾 We need a dependable yet solid backup. We already love Croatian players because of their tenacity and dedication. And actually they know how to ball
@Blue_Footy
Couldn’t found home at Chelsea, messed it up at his beloved Inter too. Romelu Lukaku is the perfect machinery. Talent is not the problem but his attitude can’t make him call anywhere his home
@AlexGoldberg_
Madueke is ahead of Mudryk but Mudryk is more of fans favorite. If Mudryk did half of what Noni did this season, the noise would have been off the roof. Respect to Noni full of confidence in his own ability. Another fine goal
@Blue_Footy
I would say Disasi had an alright season. Was usually available and didn’t cost us much. In comparison with a player like Koulibaly, who endured a torrid time in the EPL, I would say Disasi had fared better. He has an element of unpredictable that can make his upside huge
@CFCDaily
Cole Palmer is special as Juan Mata was. Not let’s not put out tweet that will disrespect those that had sweat it for us, scored important goals and won us things
@Blue_Footy
We are getting into the crunch part of the season in which Tuchel likes to choose based on performance purely and not necessarily who needs gametime. Any opportunity Lukaku gets now, he has to take it and bang
@rajsinghchohan
He’s the master of preparing one last game to beat an opposition. You should not count your team out when you have Thomas Tuchel as manager. Especially if you happen to be the underdog.
Whenever Perez wakes up to see Tuchel is the man for Real Madrid, we would witness some elite
@Blue_Footy
Not a fan of Amorim nor De Zerbi. I’m only a fan of Thomas Tuchel and he’s going to be out of job. I do not consider any other coach but him
Graham Potter was interested in signing Hudson Odoi when he was Brighton manager and Chelsea are already considering a January re-call back to London, writes
@SPORTBILD
@Blue_Footy
Looking at it, I think Boehly’s Chelsea are trying to follow the prototype of Real Madrid. Real Madrid sign top stars with little to no coaches involvement. Coaches are just brought in to use the galacticos to deliver results
@Blue_Footy
Wonder why Poch was playing him at LW while inverting Mudryk in the first half. I was wishing Poch would invert him and keep Mudryk on the wings. He got it right second half
@Blue_Footy
Conor Gallagher will fit just fine. This guy moved from someone we don’t want any where our pivot to playing their comfortably this season. That’s testament to his massive improvement in terms receiving the ball, dribbling out of danger and high passing volume. He will do fine
@Blue_Footy
No chance he benches Enzo against City. Enzo will be needed a lot for build up and passes like in previous games. High chances of Noni and Mudryk not starting the game
@TeleFootball
@JBurtTelegraph
Pochettino redeemed himself slightly by ended up at 6th and in European places but every club management who really watch him this season would definitely have their reservations about him.
@Blue_Footy
Conte is the master of maximizing his resources and giving his all to his team. I find it difficult to be believe he offered himself, he’s a coach that loves club to come after him where he gets the opportunity to put down his demands in recent time
