Chelsea 2023-24: Super League Winners 4 years in a row
Very underwhelmed by the last half hour of that match. There were some solid moments in the first half and they opened the 2nd half reasonably well, but around the 60 minute mark they just seemed to lose interest. We spent a billion dollars and we’re a mid-table team at best.

Norvell with a masterclass in how not to win a game here. Just an embarrassing finish for him. He deserves every bit of clowning coming his way. Fucking moron.

Sterling is the only one that seems to have any ambitions to score. He’s not perfect but he’s not the problem.

Sterling fucked it up? He cut it back and Jackson had a tap in from 6 feet out. The ball wasn’t as clean as it could be, but you absolutely have to put that on frame from that distance.

Palmer on for his debut with some very unfortunate facial hair.

We spent around a billion dollars on players and still don’t have one that can consistently threaten the goal. Brilliant.

Connor is a hot mess. Chillwell has been wasteful.

Looks like they've made their decision on the final attacker: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/38289527/chelsea-consider-move-sign-man-city-cole-palmer-sources I was thinking they were looking for a player that profiled as a #9, but obviously I was dead ass wrong.

Never a good long term sign when you get worked over by a smaller club like that. But whatever. Hopefully he gets acclimated quickly and gives Poch what he wants.

I negotiate things for a living, and this negotiation has been flat out botched. We're going to end up paying an extra 10-15 mil because we fucked around with all those low ball offers. It's also going to cost us Tyler Adams. Adams was never going to be more than squad depth for us, but it turns out that squad depth is pretty important sometimes. Just a master class in how not to do this shit.

Fair enough. There’s a real debate to be had about the valuation regardless of his destination. I’m much more bothered by the amount of time wasted if he were to go elsewhere. If that were happening in my organization I’d be livid.

Liverpool stepped in and got Caicedo. Great to see us fuck around with low ball offers all summer and then lose out on Poch’s top priority.

The Athletic just ran an article that says he had surgery and will be out at least 4 months. So we’ve got that going for us. Which is ass.

Nkunku came out of the game with a knee injury after a mid-air collision against Dortmund in our final friendly. Hoping like hell that it's just a contusion or sprain vs. a ligament tear. ESPN ran a blurb about Mbappe being open to a 1 year loan to Chelsea before signing with Madrid on a free next summer. As a fan I'd obviously love to see him wearing our shirt for any amount of time, but I am sure the loan fee wouldn't be cheap. I think you'd have to believe you have even a 10% chance of convincing him to stay, but the real odds are probably more like 1 in a million. Maybe they rationalize it by seeing it as the key to a quick return to UCL football? It's fun to think about, if nothing else.

This is more than a tad hyperbolic. Expensive players alone are not the answer, but you need to acquire legit quality coming off the season we just had. It was clear Boehly was taking big/wild swings at the beginning, but I’m seeing clear signs of progression in our acquisition strategy and more discipline in general. I think Poch has a lot to do with that as he has a clear vision for the shape and style of football he wants to play. Potter was so far out of his depth that he got run over. I’ve generally been happy with the approach this off season. We’ve done some savvy business on both sides of the ledger and I think one or two larger purchases to raise the ceiling of the squad will have us positioned to make a run back towards a top 4 finish.

Lived there through 4 straight falls. Rain is not the issue. Short days and lack of sunshine is the problem, especially in November and December. Once the area slopes are open (Snoqualmie, Stevens, Crystal) you learn to survive by getting out on the mountain as often as possible. It gives you something genuinely fun to look forward to on the weekends, which I found to be critical.
