Horror show tonight for sure .

Only Elliott out of the starters comes out with any credit.

Thiago looked decent coming on, but Nunez and Arthur looked like they’d just been shown what a football looks like.

    We used to use VAR and offside like a defensive tool, now it seems utterly alien. Same with the press, it’s just not a thing anymore.

    Watching it they all look goosed. I can only assume it’s a hangover from last year and the whole ‘playing every possible game’ thing. Elliot and Diaz were our only players to do anything of note tonight. Grim.

      Who said Núñez was the new Andy Carrol? 😆 Bang on!

      Klopp got a job on his hands here.

      Where has Fowler’s neck gone?

      gcw woooof! Just seen this. LiverPOO badly missing Hendo!

      The defence isn’t getting the same protection any more, mainly due to an ageing midfield that lacks energy, robustness and young legs that don’t have the athleticism needed.

      Graham Potter’s has made Brighton one of the most exciting teams to watch in the premier league in the last 12 months with his possession based style. He’s no doubt a fine manager but squaring that with the egos and politics at Chelsea is another matter. Good luck

          Potter would be a much better fit at dipperpool.
          He’ll be instantly out of his depth at Chelsea because it’s wall to wall cunts. They’ll just suck the life out of him and probably his motivation. Would prefer to see him at Liverpool interim then England.

              Due to a recent run of illness, which the ole Nugenix has fixed, I’ve not run for 2 weeks and put on a bit of timber.

              Remarkably I look even better, was too slim.

                Fake obv but can you imagine lol - I reckon the daft cunt is sitting by the phone thinking he’s in with a shot.

                ^ actually, if I was Brighton, I’d be shitting my pants right about now.

                While the “personalities” at Chelsea could be difficult for Potter, one benefit is that their squad is already set up for the 352 which he is keen on. He should be able to get them playing how he wants without any additional signings, which is useful given that the transfer window has closed.

                I honestly believe it’s too big a job for him. He’s got no experience in Europe, no experience in managing ego’s (hate this 🤮) like he will have to. No experience in being under massive pressure to perform immediately. No experience in rotating cunts that think they should play every game and prioritising league over Europe and Europe over league. Just too big a jump for him and also it’s pretty well known now that Tuchel was having to direct the club technically too as well as manage/coach. That’s something else he’s going to have to do. All is not well at the rent boys I’m pleased to report.
                Don’t get me wrong I want him to fail and fail hard because I fucking hate Chelsea cunts but it’s a crying shame this has to happen to a future England manager. Liverpool would have offered less expectation and I believe they would afford him time Chelsea cunts won’t. Villa made even more sense to me. This just seems too much.
