Chelsea fans: “Fuck off Eghbali. You’re not wanted here.”

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

When Chelsea fans protested against the European Super League outside the Bridge on April 20, 2021, at least club legend and performance advisor Petr Cech had the minerals and conscience to step into the throng to talk/plead with them. Different cause to now. And also to who now at Chelsea will communicate with protesting fans? Who do fans actually respect in the building? Disconnect between fans and owners is deeply damaging - and growing.

Supporters are understandably angered by BlueCo’s naive stewardship of their club, the lack of experience in the dressing-room, dug-out, recruitment department and boardroom. They rail against wretched results seeing them fall from the Champions League spots. They are concerned about the prospect of ticket price rises and, they fear, the focus on tourist and corporate fan over so-called legacy fans, the ones who were there in the bad times. Home and away. They fear the heart and soul being ripped out of their club - their club - and replaced by a US-made cash register. 

BlueCo has to respond. No more spin. Be real, be genuine, be more open to fans before the marches escalate into people voting with their feet, leading to rows upon rows of empty seats. It’s not too late. Communicate properly, directly. Boehly and Eghbali are intelligent individuals, successful in business but they are new to the tricky currents of English football. They have to listen, they have to learn otherwise they’re going to lose all remaining credibility and lose a limo full of cash. #CFC

💯 🗣️ @Matt_Law_DT: “It’s really pissing off at the moment that that every game currently seems to end with everyone giving up. The players give up, Rosenior seemingly gives up by starting to take everyone off and resting them for the next game.

The fans understandably give up because the players are manager have given up and they’ll leave early and every match seems to finish with millions of empty seats.

That is not the football club that I have become accustomed and very privileged to cover. Even when times have been bad, I’ve not known Chelsea ever to be a club that gives up. This has been one of the top clubs in Europe for decades now. It’s not acceptable to me.”

John Obi Mikel on Enzo Fernandez’s comments: “That's not a leader.

That's something where if you have leaders, if you have leaders that players respect and look up to, you wouldn't come out and make those statements.

You don't make that statement after we've been disgracefully dumped out of the Champions League, wearing the captain armband.

No player is bigger than the football club. If he's had enough, put your hands up and f-- off. And we move on.

You cannot come out and say that it doesn't matter what is going on. You should be grateful you're playing at a club like Chelsea Football Club. Because of the culture we built.

I can understand it a little bit of frustration, but you still have to respect the badge, you still have to respect the football club, you still have to respect the fans, because the fans are the ones who pay your wages.”

✍️ There's a big difference between how we move the ball under Maresca and under Rosenior. Maresca used more of the wingers — the second phase receiver always find the winger, while Rosenior prefers central progression and combinations in attack.

Wide progression is a lot safer. If a winger loses the ball, a midfielder can cover and the line also serves as an extra defender. It's easier to box a player at the line and minimise danger.

Central progression is whole different story. The most dangerous of them all. One misplaced pass and your defenders will start praying for divine intervention. It's not impossible, Barcelona do this very well. But for that to work, every central midfielder must be a counter-pressing junky and very comfortable in possession of the ball. The reaction time is also extremely important not just any kind of reaction but the trigger must happen in quickest possible time, as soon as the ball is lost.

You basically need specific kind of players to do it at a very high level. That's where Rosenior is having issues. He can't find the right balance but he insists on playing through the middle. Imagine this Chelsea squad playing Hansi Flick's highline... that will be prime circus show. For central progression, pressure on the ball isn't a choice but a most. If you don't have the leg, forget it and play safe. There is a reason why we have been outrun by every opponent in the Premier League this season. It's down to the profile of our squad, especially the starters.

For me, if we must do that, we have to sacrifice one of Enzo or Palmer in central midfield. Or move Palmer to the wing. I will go with Lavia - Caicedo/Essugo at the base and Enzo/Palmer and Caicedo/Santos in front of them. A lot of combinations here will work but three out of the four box midfielders must be defensive minded players. That is the bare minimum.

We don't have time to massage egos now, we need to find the right balance to stabilise the team and become difficult to break down and start winning games again.

🚨BREAKING:

Chelsea have SACKED Liam Rosenior!

The decision was made during the international break after internal discussions over the club’s form.

The manager has suffered four straight defeats and has failed to convince the board to give him more time.

✍️ People can't be making excuses for Enzo Fernandez by saying the club is not doing well, so he can talk as he likes.

Nah man, that's setting a bad example. He's the vice-captain. If he wants to leave, he doesn't need the squad or the world to know.

Whichever way you spin it, it's disrespectful to the squad, the club, and the fans.

Even if the club isn't doing well, players have to carry themselves with dignity and respect the club until they leave. Imagine if 70% of the squad did the same because the club isn't doing well, what would you say? Or do you think if 70% of the squad leaves, we can rebuild this squad again in 2 years even if we spend all the money in the world?

Enzo can leave if he wants but he needs to do better for the sake of his teammates, fans and the club.

All everyone needs to be doing for the rest of the season is spread the message and join the protest to get these disgusting rats out of our football club. They have completely destroyed us.
