Pochettino | Agrees to be US National Team Coach
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
It depends what players you buy. I'm looking at the Chelsea squad and yes - they have some good players, but it's nowhere near the level it should be considering the amount of money they have spent.
He’s probably with Glaston in India, until Poch manages a result of note.
They've bought brain dead forwards who can only play when their are huge gaps left for them to exploit by running in behind. They will struggle to break down teams who sit in and defend as a unit with numbers around the box. Just like Utd have for years with Rashford and Co up top.
Has anyone tagged @Amadaeus yet?
@Amadaeus take that!
Did he win the xG match though?
schooled on xga.
They've turned a corner
Awful display from Chelsea. Their passing was diabolical
So glad we aren't going to see that flaming jebend tonight!
United 4.07 (xG) vs Chelsea 1.33 (xG) makes this even more hilarious.
They’re dog shit. If a game isn’t forward and back then they’re lost, that midfield is horrendous. They are clueless with the ball at their feet 35 yards from goal
They're totally fecked. They'll be in the shit with FFP and they've put a load of players on massively long contracts, all to assemble a midtable team.
10th in December without Europe to juggle with is seriously poor.
Unbelievably nothing team given the money spent and talent supposedly in that squad. Still look a total jumbled mess.
They are terrible. Under Roman he would've been sacked at least twice already by now.
Really did look awful, not like United have climbed up trees this season but they looked a level below United. Look very disjointed.
Chelsea looked absolutely woeful that whole game vs United, so I guess mid table to 15th is about right for their position in the league.
Let down again by underlying stats and too much money spent 
Why are they so shite?
On paper, that midfield should have dominated ours and most others in the league. Yet we played through them almost at will.

They are just as cursed as us now when it comes to big money transfers. Imagine if we had gotten Caicedo too. Took me an hour to realize he was on the pitch as well.
To all my haters
Pochettino has been schooled by all the crap teams this season even with their 200m midfield.
Not many managers can play that shit against ten hag’s utd. Only Everton and palace in the carabao.
Like I mentioned before, the underlying stats (table) showed that chelsea is pretty awful. Once we have brain aneurysms that is when we truly see pochball

#pray for @Amadaeus
Not just beaten, but beaten on xG, soundly too.
Guess another £200m will turn Poch into a super manager at last.

@Amadaeus turning in his grave at that Chelsea performance
Over 1 billion in 12 months for that is an abomination.
There's people who rated their squad above ours.
Their squad has even more problems than ours despite their massive spending.

They're a terrible team going nowhere. They might produce the odd good game here and there but this will be the exception rather than the rule.
Whether Ten Hag is the right man is up for debate, but I said we dodged a bullet when we didn't hire Pochettino. I maintain that stance. This Chelsea team is beyond awful. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
No cohesion. Feels like a team of players that's just randomly been thrown together, which is sort of the case anyway. You can just about get away with it if you're PSG and have Mbappe or Messi, but the problem is for all the quality in their side there's not really enough actual top-tier star power to drag them into a CL fight. I think they'll finish higher than where they are currently but they look like a bang average upper midtable side at best from what I've witnessed this season.
I really enjoyed our performance but we were really helped by playing a team that shit, it's embarrassing for Pochettino how bad they were and that they're 10th at this stage given the money spent.
So glad we won just for the simple fact the poch fans will stay hiding and not say I told yous we should have got him instead.
Did he decide on the captains roundabout? I swear I have seen Gallagher, James, Colwil being captain. Why they just don't give it to Silva?
@Amadaeus where you at 
When will there be media pressure on them? Too many excuses of a young squad and injuries. Narrative on Chelsea this season is a complete joke compared to us.
That’s because there 2 midfielders is probably the same price as halve of our team. Our midfield tonight should be nowhere near as good as the 2 they have.
Everton were better. They were undone by a worldie and did not concede anywhere near the amount of chances as Chelsea did this game. The difference is we scored every chance we had against Everton (Including a 1 in a million). If we scored every chance we had today it would have been embarrassing for Chelsea.
Probably helps Chelsea that they were shite last year and finished in the bottom half. Everyone expected improvement but even a CL push was seen as a bit optimistic for them. They're more ridiculed and mocked than pressured at this point, nobody expects much.
Agreed. I was glad we did not go for him.
