Hmmm.......getting twitchy. Boehly is whatsapping Big Fat Sam the relegation saviour as we speak.
Thought this should be revisited after Sunday. It was a pretty dire game, as cup finals between big teams usually are, but Chelsea had a real chance against pretty much Liverpool reserves and seemed overawed by the occasion and didn't really have a go.
No clear style of play and players you have bought are on really long contracts so if they fail won't want to leave. Is this on Poch? I mean the bloke did well at Spurs but without winning a bean but surely Chelsea expect more - especially with your outlay?
Poch seems a decent fella and the Spurs lads seemed to like him so perhaps he has inherited a bad group and needs his own players to really get them playing how he wants.
Will he be given enough time to do this and, if so, does he deserve more patience and money to reinvest or should Chels just give him the old Spanish archer - thoughts?
Well he's a well known bottler in this country and couldn't step up against klopps kids
The common theme amongst Chelsea fans from what I've heard is that he's turned Chelsea into Spurs and I can't disagree.
Extra time is when he should've shown his mettle. From what he said, the players were settling for penalties. Maybe he tried to inspire them otherwise and they didn't listen, but that still says a lot about him as a manager.

Nah disagree - Spurs had a great side when he was there early on. He even got Dele Alli to put in a shift.
Appears from the outside that he's a man manager but maybe he's either lost his knack or has the wrong players and can't motivate them. Either way Chelsea board have got a big decision to make.
Think the amoritisation deals were a massive mistake btw. We did the same when we gave the likes of Aubameyang, Pepe and Nketiah long deals on big money and then watched their value plummet.

Klopps kids!!
Come on Sheriff, we had an 11 with a younger average age than them to start with and still had an 11 with a much younger average age than them when the final whistle went!
Get a grip!

To be fair, whilst you may have had a younger team they were much more experienced than Liverpool's so you should have taken the game to them a bit more - no?
