Welp. Going about like I thought it would. How have we fallen so far below the likes of fucking Liverpool?

The Ringo stuff strikes me as pure delusion. There has been nothing of late that suggests anything but UGA. Why do people continue to bother?

I’d argue that this statement applies to roughly half of this entire thread. We’re no more than 1-2 standard deviations north of the usual scat:real information ratio.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2020
Careful out there on that limb. Recruits don’t watch these games the same way fans do. It definitely did no harm and was likely a net positive for most of the kids there.

https://statsbomb.com/2019/09/is-chelseas-cesar-azpilicueta-bad-now/ Pretty decent read if you’re open to the possibility that Dave isn’t solely to blame for our defensive shortcomings.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
We get it, Mo. Dave isn’t what he once was. Having said that, he is in no way the only issue with the back line. Zouma has matched him in terms of mistakes and is just as much of a liability if not more. I’d also caution against assuming Reece will be any sort of cure all. He’s untested in the EPL and will make his fair share of mistakes as he adjusts to the speed of the game. There is no quick fix coming for this season. We’re not going to challenge for anything meaningful and really just need to stay focused on avoiding the relegation zone. I doubt that will be an issue but we’re honestly capable of dropping points against anyone, so who knows.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Ceiling of top 6 may prove to be grossly optimistic when all is said and done.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Abraham poached another!! Great score line, but honestly it’s a misrepresentation of the flow of the match. We haven’t looked all that great.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
They were the better side for, at least, the last hour of the match. I feel like we were fortunate to take a point from that one. Tons of work to do.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
LC are playing like they want the three and we’re playing like we can’t wait for the final whistle to blow. Hate to see that.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Tammy with a great run but got the shot all kinds of wrong.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Zouma can see the ball and is fine as long as that’s what he’s playing. As one of two CB’s he needs to show more awareness and make that a more difficult shot. I’m not saying Dave played it well, but you can’t put it 100% on him either.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Well the color guy called out that you have to attack the ball in zonal marking vs standing still, which I took as criticism of Zouma. He wasn’t tracking the ball at all. He stood still in his spot and jumped at the ball from there. I don’t think either one of them defended it particularly well, hence the goal being scored.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
I’d have been fine with anyone putting the game away, but that never felt likely. They deserved that goal based on the sum of the match. No idea who or what Zouma was marking there. Lotta match left. We need to get out of this funk and make a run at getting the points.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Bats isn’t listed as a sub today. Abraham is the only out and out striker we have available to swap with OG.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Ooooof. What the hell were we doing there? Lucky as hell to still have the lead.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Welcome to life as a Blues fan! Luiz would only have helped if his head and heart were in it, as he’s an emotionally driven player. Once his mind was made up to leave, he had to go. The risk was that he would become a cancer in the locker room, and we’ve had far too many of those in recent years. As for things to read, check out http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com for pretty solid coverage of all things Chelsea. They wrote a lot of content leading up the season, including how this year’s club will look different from last year’s based on what Frank wants to do. Beyond that, I’d advise you to avoid getting attached to any of the many managers Chelsea are sure to employ during the next few years. We tend to go through them regularly.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
It’s an adjustment watching us have so much less of the ball this year vs. last. I am sure some of that is by design, as Sarri ball was big on possession for possession’s sake. That said, it feels like this year’s midfield will struggle to maintain the ball and dictate play as a general rule. Jorginho feels like a real part of the problem as he’s not inclined to keep the ball and move up the pitch via dribbling. I guess we are rather stuck with him for now, but hopefully RLC’s recovery stays on track as we need someone that is a more credible threat to the defense. It feels like we’d be at our best with RLC playing the advanced position that Kante is playing, with N’Golo sliding back to play where Jorginho is right now.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
This has the looks of a side that has a ceiling of 6th. That even feels generous coming off of this particular performance, but I’m trying to remind myself that we’re something less than 100%. Rudiger and Kante need to get healthy quick and we need CHO/RLC to stay on track with their rehab.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
This is not what I had in mind.- Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
Pedro, wtf?! He had Giroud gliding into the box and pulls it back inexplicably. - Chelsea 2019-2020: Puli My Finger
