Thanks Tuchel...

The list after Tuchel is not that much better. Especially Mudryk.

I think Mudryk will be fine once he adjusts. He's quick and he's making smart runs and getting chances now, he just still gets caught attempting things that are much harder to do in the PL than in Ukraine.

I thought the Mitoma arc comparison was good from when we played BHA. He has played about 5x the minutes Mudryk has, and also struggled when he came to BHA but the technical ability has adjusted the PL and now he looks dangerous as hell all the time because of the speed and dribbling skills.

Not sure what this is to imply but Kounde is a great CB... when did the narrative change lol

I dunno about that, he got absolutely embarrassed by a bad Bayern team.

I know you’re trolling but we judge players based off of 2 games now? One of which he was playing as a RB?

Guess upa is French Maguire

I mean that's exactly what I'm riffing on

I don’t remember saying anything about Upa other than he sucked in the tie… which he did.

Maguire is like a yacht with the motor of one of those tiny little fishing boats. Basically his legs can’t move very fast because they are busy holding up his head.

Upa might not run to the right places but he can run. If anything I’d say French Bailly.

I'm not riffing on a specific post, just the general commentary about Upa since that first leg & the way people were over-reacting to a 20-30 min meltdown.

Over the course of two games it was one of the worst performances of a CB you'll see. It doesn't change his talent just a fact he was dire.

Oh it was hands down the worst I've ever seen him play, at least in the first leg...missed a lot of the second leg and he looked fine in the chunk I caught...that's why I was joking about some of the over-reactions to it.

No thanks to Carrasco

Sadly that rumor doesn't seem to go away.

I've heard links with Firmino too, I'd rather have him as an impact sub.

Firmino won't happen.

I want Moleiro first and foremost. After that I'd have to think about it. Messi of course. Not sure what we'll be able to afford though. Always some dead wood we can get rid of though.

 

[luiginb]

No to Moleiro too, we have enough young undersized offensive midfielders.

We had enough undersized CMs when we had Deco, Xavi and Iniesta. Did you not like that too?

Different times. A midfield of Pedri Gavi Moleiro would be defensive suicide.

None of us liked the Mudryk signing, but everyone and their dog knew this player was raw as hell

So it’s different when you have a player coming from Ukraine versus a decade long PL proven player doing nothing like with Raheem if that makes sense.

Yes. We overpaid for Mudryk but I watch him and see the talent. I watch Sterling and never want to see him play again.

Sterling has the ability to be a great complimentary piece when he’s the 3rd scoring option on the pitch and can let other players do the heavy lifting.

That’s clearly not the case at Chelsea, hence him not looking very effective.

He's certainly no Timo...

I MISS HIM SO MUCH

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I don't know, obviously each individual player has his share of the blame but there's just been so many failures for players who thrived before/elsewhere that it's hard not to think that the majority of the blame falls at Chelsea's feet. That club just reeks of toxicity.

Well I guess it’s a good thing Moleiro can play wide then.
