Screwed by var AGAIN
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Were we actually screwed?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

TBF those do get given when a goal comes immediately after. So that specific incident I can see why VAR gives the foul, as there is clear contact from Bads.

But it is frustrating after the ignored handball in the semi and other VAR irregularities.

Yep...just about sums our season up

So what’s everyone’s thoughts about Poch now? Were we impressed by his second half tactics? That’s the first time in a while I remember us being so dominant in the second half. We are truly an inconsistent team, but are we moving in the right direction?

Personally I think we need a goalkeeper, at least one central defender, a left back, a left winger, and a striker. And we need to sell a lot of players. But do we really need to get rid of Poch? He’s obviously imperfect, but maybe he deserves another chance next season?

What...not removing the ridiculously inept Mudryk at HT....words fail me

I didn't see the game, but by all accounts he was as ineffective as ever.

Fichajes -

Gabri Veiga ready for a return to Europe as life in the Saudi Pro League is not as expected. Gabri is one of a number of players hoping for a return to Europe this summer, and it is believed Chelsea were the closest to signing him before his move to Al-Ahli

The Blues are reportedly preparing an initial offer of €40 million to sign the player and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The 21-year-old is capable of operating as a central as well as an attacking midfielder. He could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Chelsea

So far he has 4 goals and 4 assists this season.

Mirror -

Tottenham are continuing to haggle over Conor Gallagher's asking price. Chelsea are adamant that the midfielder will not leave for less than his £50 million valuation, a price that Tottenham are not prepared to pay and may wait for his contract to wear down.

Fack me Mudryk was utter poverty last night...seriously poor...& yet he plays 89 minutes...WTF is wrong with Poch, he could have given Casadei 30 minutes in there...

He's still learnt nothing has he...how is he going to know how Casadei is if he just leaves him on the bench and perseveres with someone who can't trap a bag of cement or look up for a pass


Fackin grinds my gears...

Someone tell me i'm wrong....






Not Oscar...that doesn't count

When is it ok to put a player that cost what he did on loan....

I listed Mudryk in my "biggest disappointment of the season category" and really don't think I am going to see anything in the remaining games to change that view. I really hope I have to eat my words but time is running out.

First touch of a trampoline being his first contribution last evening. I then proceeded to lose count of the number of basic errors that you will not see from a £60 player let alone a 60m player.

The one in the second half when the cross field pass went completely under his foot as he attempted to bring it down had me screaming for a change.

Don't go with the "he doesn't get a run of games" protests - these are basic football skills, stuff that the under 11's are comfortable with.

Whether you are playing regularly or not these are basics that should be part of your game at this level whatever but time and time again he is found floundering.

Without the basics the rest of your game is likely to be pretty much f**ked at this level.

There are occasional flashes of promise, granted he had a little run of games (mainly when playing centrally rather than out wide) when he looked better but then he regresses and reverts to type.

No idea what the answer is with him. Needs to really up his game to fulfil the promise that is maybe locked away somewhere though.



----------------------------------------------------------------------
The answer is sell or give him Championship loan. He is not a PL standard player and the chances that he will become one are at best very slim.

on same page here then....

I forgot that not only are these clowns selling Gallagher, but it’s to Spurs of all clubs.

How can they make themselves any less likeable.

Sell Gallagher to Spurs for a pittance?

Gallagher’s like 5th choice CM when everyone’s fit, £50m+ is a good price

It’s not like he’s Colwill or Reece James. Lewis Hall was the real disgrace, I’ll never forgive the fkers for that one

Football.London -

Chelsea have 'prioritised' 4 summer signings in the upcoming transfer window.

Sporting CP Striker Viktor Gyokeres
Bournemouth left back Milos Kerkez
RB Leipzig midfielder Dani Olmo
Lille Centre Back Leny Yoro

Chelsea are thought to have held negotiations with Leipzig already for Dani Olmo, with a £52 million release clause currently in his contract.

Omari Hutchinson being tipped for a role in the squad next season as well after his Ipswich loan. 9 goals and 6 assists in 42 so far.

None of these players bring leadership or seniority. Clearly not moving away from the u25 policy

Thought it was Caicedo's best performance last evening, funnily enough it comes when Enzo is not in the side.

Poch deserves some credit for moving Cucurella into midfield in the second half, it stopped a lot of their transitions.

Need a GK too, Petrovic gets caught out on his near post too easily. He's not very commanding from crosses, always glued to his line.

He's fine as backup.

Sanchez and Kepa both need selling
