Someone said Marc Cucurella is a bleached Ashley Cole in a wig. And somehow, that's a compliment. Biggest individual transformation I've watched a Chelsea player undergo.

I don't argue, I converse. You argue for wins, I look to inform, correct, or learn. Not same.

Show me one.

This is similar to obama admitting tha he and NATO fvcked up Libya.

Is that why your "tactical work" only appears in here? Because you "know a lot more or less" than I think?

Or is it simply that you overestimate your football knowledge? I'm a fan who doesn't claim to be some tactico. Try it, it's refreshing. Or start a YT channel and prove yourself a tactico.

Is that why your tactical "work" is only here? Internet or not, the best tactical minds rise to the top. Like I said, if you fancy yourself, go do a podcast or YouTube channel if you cannot coach.

Why do a vague "people who know a lot" tune when you can start & prove me wrong? All smoke no flame?

Also, Guehi may be right-footed, but he prefers to play on the left of a CB pairing (Like JT, back then). His left to right diagonals are a treat. That means Colwill is in the firing line more than Fofana, unless we retrain Guehi. Chelsea Women manager Sonia Bompastor moved Millie Bright: RCB to LCB

Our focus on "swiss army knives" means players can cover multiple positions, sometimes with in-game switches. I'm more interested with starting positions. Also, Gusto will always have a place. A line-up like v Heidenheim leaves a place for an inverter, and Maresca has inverted either LB and RB.

I couldn't have said it better. So why not take your advise and stop pretending to be a coach? Especially at PL level! Or go find a team to coach. Or, if a tactico, start a YT channel, or podcast, to analyze football games. Otherwise, stay a fan and stop inflating your football worth.

Outsiders: Chelsea have two squads
Enzo maresca: No, it's one squad of 25 players. We decide game-by-game who plays.

Outsiders: The Chelsea Academy squad is very talented.
Enzo Maresca: No, that is our second squad.

I love my coach.

I'm just happy to watch my Chelsea soar again. None of these shenanigans matter to me.

Does it matter? If Maresca says it's not the same system, then it is not the same system. I don't get the fan obsession with appearing to be tacticos when they're not. You're a fan, be a fan. If you knew better, you'd be coaching somewhere, some level, and not arguing tactics on social media.

Ideas where he plays? Predominantly a LCB, but wonder if Maresca will drop Colwill. Maybe in for Fofana?

We don't, and Maresca has said this in so many of his press conferences. Chelsea have a foundation system, and then several small tweaks are made within that system to outwit or combat the next opponent. Try listening to your coach more.

If you know you're coach, it follows that such a transition is very unlikely. Also, I'd rather we stuck on current system and work to refine it going forward.

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is more lethal in front of goal than Newcastle United's Alexander Isak.

Hard to believe that Chelsea Women's Lucy Bronze is 33. Three great performances in a week v Man City, Celtic, and Man United. They all came at us hard, but she stood her ground like the champion she is.

Being a football fan is all about emotion. Despite losing to Man City on MD1, I was happy with how we played that game and remain so.

Enzo Maresca should have signed Mads Hermansen from Leicester and trusted the work already done by the Chelsea recruitment team. Hermansen was the one player capable of making this Chelsea team better, not KDH.

Maybe we should have listened

That episode of Succession when ATN was eavesdropping on their viewers but could only change the conference slogan from "We HEAR you" to "We HERE you".

You can stop responding, Dean! You've been arguing, not conversing, from the very beginning. Arguments end in wins or loses and you're desperate to win. Conversations end in agreement: convince sb about your view, or agree with theirs. E.g., I now know I can be a CPO member from engaging you.

Darrel, nothing is set in stone, especially with Boehly/Clearlake in charge. The PL's very protective of its golden geese. Also, don't clubs renew their PL licences every new season? (Chelsea was said to be at risk of our license not being renewed during the Abramovich sanctions)

Also, your say is limited to 100 shares, no? There are things you wouldn't compromise on, but does that mean the remaining shareholders will definitely band along the same line? My position is that I trust the ownership that has got more right than wrong to het the stadium sorted.

Chelsea Pitch Owners: The unique organisation with the power to block Stamford Bridge move

The CPO are not the fans. The CPO is just about 15,000 fans. That's not the same. This reinforces my earlier point: it is more important for club ownership to deal with CPO than for every Chelsea fan to stress over it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/583...

Nigerian Chelsea fans already claimed Lola Brown as their own. Her official name is now Ololade Brown Adesina. 🤣

Congratulations, Ned.

Agreed. I refuse to believe that it will come down to changing the name. CPO, like the owners, are guardians of the club. Can you imagine how much revenue Chelsea misses out on. A new stadium opens the kind of doors both CPO and owners want. That overlap should make you confident.

Argument? And here I thought we were having a Bluesy conversation! From a fan's perspective, the intricacies of the CPO doesn't matter. Neither does knowing who the current individuals are. You only need know of CPO's mandate & role in our stadium plans, and truest the owners to find a workable deal

This is true. Crusades die die. Revolutions in trade, evolution in service quality last longer and appeal to more people.
