How near are we to appointing Igor Tudor?

Reece trundling back like Jan Molby

Fofana clearly not giving a feck

Jorgensen injured?

Helpful little swerve for Rosenior

I wonder if they’ll go back in for Maignan in the summer. He’s 30 so has a fair few years ahead. Allows Penders another year on loan, perhaps in the Championship, and then a Cech v Courtois shoot out in 27-28 whilst Maignan still has resale value if Penders wins

This is the trouble. Does that mean Penders (totally unproven) goes on loan again next year and we make do with Sanchez or Jorgenson or some other interim solution (Vicario anyone?) for another year?

This is not a serious club

Maybe he’ll be the Good Joao Felix next time

Once you’ve seen Cech and Courtois (but especially Cech - Courtois’ best times have been at Real Madrid) you are totally spoilt but I don’t ever consider Kepa as having been good enough for Chelsea

Mendy was very good for a season (and what a season) but unfairly cast aside too soon

Yes I agree. A great prospect who we messed up.

Yeah him and Sarri got on famously

13.03.2026 15:16 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Harsh but an element of truth

What he could do was control the flow & pace of the game. I remember him doing it away at Watford I think when we were losing control. He just slowed things down & re-established control

His best example was the Euros final when he stopped England getting any control

OK, I've just read the notes from the meeting between a club rep and some fans, and I can't stop laughing. We are not a serious football club on any level. πŸ˜‚

As for Jorginho, I can’t believe that you picked him. I thought he was great and the best thing Sarri ever did for the club

I agree that Lukaku is in the top 3 (along with Papy Djibodji) but Kepa seemed to poison the good goalkeeping well to this very day apart from the Mendy interlude. Even then, no one at the club can bring themselves to admit that our goalkeepers are shit and that we genuinely need good goalkeepers

13.03.2026 14:57 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

I genuinely believe that the signing of Kepa was both the worst and the most consequential transfer by Chelsea in the 21st century

13.03.2026 14:42 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Kepa was the panic buy after we missed out on Alisson

13.03.2026 14:28 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Absolutely!

Good example being the signing of Donnarumma, aka the best goalkeeper in the world, even though he can’t play out from the back

In the debate about Rosenior’s dreadful screw up about Chelsea’s keepers not enough respect is being given to Edouard Mendy

Mendy was an integral part in winning the Champions’ League & was the best GK in Europe that season

He was cast aside in a essentially racist manner being deemed lower worth

13.03.2026 08:59 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 2 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

My theory is that it is all Kepa’s fault.

He was such a catastrophic, franchise-destroying purchase (excuse the Americanism) that the club collectively thought β€œthese GKs are always a waste of money. We will never spend big on GKs again. Any old GK will do”

Alonso, Nagelsmann, Xavi and Fabregas wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole

Di Zerbi and Luis would be interested

But you forgot Gary O’Neill

There’s always Harry and it would be a shorter drive for him

Yet again Fofana was at fault for some of our goals, especially the first and second

This guy should not be playing at this level. He’s as poor as Badiashile with a similar injury record

Why don’t managers (& our idiot Sporting Directors) understand they are not all mini Peps & can’t play this way unless they have a GK as brilliant with his feet as someone like Ederson?

Even then, Pep is clever enough to know that if you have a GK as brilliant as Donnarumma you change how you play

12.03.2026 07:59 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Add to that Rosenior’s tactics of playing out from the back which, last night they took to ridiculous levels even compared to Maresca’s time, and we were absolutely asking to get spanked by a PSG team with brilliant attacking talent

12.03.2026 07:51 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Last night is 100% on Rosenior

Sanchez is a very poor goalkeeper to be operating at this level ie upper half of the premier league / last 16 of the champions league, but if Rosenior thinks that Jorgensen is actually better then I am seriously worried about his judgement
