Waylander Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Benzema's two headers compared with Lukaku's two headers, a gulf in class. Heard on the rumourmill that Tuchel is getting divorced and can't help wonder if this is having an effect on the team. We are certainly in a sticky moment, some players look very tired or just error prone and just at the wrong time of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, but that shouldn't really impact the players to the standard we've seen. I think everything has just caught up to them. Everything about Chelsea recently has been draining regarding the ownership, and that's only going to exacerbate now the players are showing some signs of wear and struggle on the pitch too. We've played so many matches combined with injuries and absolute gash on the bench. Add the uncertainty of certain players' futures, you can tell its finally had an affect on the team after holding strong for a long period. I still remember after battering Juventus in November. Chilwell's injury casted a very large dark cloud over our best performance of the season. Definitely was a bad omen. With the debt cleared, I am fulling expecting some major sales in the summer. Don't even think the likes of Jorginho and Kante are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely a myriad of issues at Chelsea right now and none of them all that positive. It’s a case of them riding them out and searching for some stability in the not too distant future. It’s what occurs during this period that marks how much destruction is caused before recovery can be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if they thought the govt was going to stop clubs paying salaries a while back due to the Ukraine situation re Roman. I think the bigger thing for us will be if Tuchel is not on his A game re his personal life as divorce proceedings were started in March and he has kids, seemed strange not to start with Kovacic and Azpi on the left was not great. Alonso is not preferred due to his limited ability to get back to defensive duties. As Cicero says our options on the bench are limited too.

Cicero Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Aside the ownership issue, we have 14-16 players who have uncertain futures with regards to player contracts, players not wanting to be here, and players who know they will be shipped off. We've also played the most games in Europe this season, despite picking up several injuries during our most congested period. I know we still have two trophies to play for, but I can understand why there is a lack of motivation after such a draining and uncertain past several weeks.

Plus there’s all the stuff that has eternally surrounded him on his commitment to the France national side and his apparent hesitancy to sing the national anthem. I know that latter one is extremely absurd, but it kept him ousted from the national team for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But tbh, I do remember him being whistled by the home fans for a number of games. Imo it was more to do with his performances which weren’t to the level he was giving for Real Madrid. But we’ve seen similar reactions with Messi and Argentina versus his output for Barcelona back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 He plays for France because they are a better FA and more competitive than the Algerian. Like how many Saffas choose to play cricket for Aus, NZ, and Eng. He wouldn’t give a single fuck about France, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claret and Blue Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Superb performance by this man. How he managed to angle that first header was immense. Second wasn't too shabby either.. Probably in some of the best form of his career too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
