Interviewed #BWFC's Steven Schumacher for @SkyFootball ⚪️

He spoke about the weight of expectation, facing former boss Graham Alexander, putting pride aside when he didn't make it on at Wembley in 2014 - & what it would mean to take Bolton there 📲

Devastated about Diogo Jota. Tried to pay tribute here. A great guy and an inspiration. His parents were still paying subs for him to play for his local team at 16. If there’s any consolation it’s that he achieved more than he ever dreamed.

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

Chelsea reportedly refusing to match Milan's very reasonable asking price for Mike Maignan, a clear upgrade and a goalkeeper who is amongst the best in the world, because they don't want to pay a "Club World Cup tax"

Having bought 49 players under the Boehly Clearlake ownership...

Including spending £42m on Joao Felix, £30m on Dewsbury-Hall, £20m on Jorgensen, £19m on Kellyman just last summer...

Not to mention the amount wasted on Mudryk, Disasi, Badiashile, Ugochukwu, Sterling and Koulibaly amongst others during their ownership...

Feels like one of the most avoidable errors of this mistake ridden era.

@skysportspaulg @SkySportsNews Pleasure to work with you mate! Best of luck

[Chelsea Youth @chelseayouth]

"He is very very consistent at a very high level." says his national team coach, significantly more credentialed than those trying to sell him at club level.

[Nizaar Kinsella @NizaarKinsella]

I still can’t get my head around this reaction. You’ll Never Walk Alone?

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

Granted they play for sides with different styles, but Chalobah's possession stats hold up against Huijsen's. Don't buy the argument that Fofana's absence has been key to Chelsea's drop off

[CFCDaily @CFCDaily]

Enzo Maresca puts a heavy emphasis on possession and believes his plans have been compromised by Wesley Fofana’s fitness problems. [guardian] https://t.co/6k5fAe1vUl

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

Much better second half and huge result for Chelsea and Maresca. Great moment for George too. Champions League hopes still alive. As for Fulham, amazed Silva took so long to make subs. Threw away Fulham’s momentum

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

Silva said ahead of this game it was like a ‘final’ for Fulham. They’re playing that way. Intensity, aggression, pace. Chelsea the complete opposite. Another 45 like that and it gets very sticky for Maresca

[Dan Long @DanLong__]

David Prutton 🤝 David Mitchell

This is glorious 🤣

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

And all so they could lose at home to the fifth best team in Poland. In front of 12,000 empty seats

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

Very clear from Maresca’s XIs over the last few weeks that he’s prioritising the Conference League over Champions League qualification

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

Enzo Maresca started Palmer, Jackson, James, Sancho, Cucurella...

And they lost to the 5th best side in Poland.

I don't know how anyone can't be seriously concerned about this project's direction nearly 3 years in.

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

Starting James, Palmer, Jackson...

Against Legia Warsaw...

When you're 3-0 up...

And haven't beaten a side 14th or above since mid December...

And are DESPERATE for Champions League football?

Madness.

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

Probably fair to say Palmer knows what he's doing with this post...

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

@Sam94Carefree Whole running of the club feels out of touch with the fans. And lack of proper scrutiny on SDs is so strange. Cycled through managers and spent a fortune on making the team worse

[Joe Shread @JoeShreadSky]

Another post-match error from Maresca. Not the first time he's suggested fans are wrong to question he and his players. Surely not deliberate, but the communication toward the fans is high-handed, condescending. They have a right to show they don't like what they're seeing

[Jacob Steinberg @JacobSteinberg]

A moment in the first half when one fan in the east lower just shouted “You’re boring, Enzo”. Impression is the fans are behind the team but that the “environment” is simply down to the manager. Whether or not that’s fair it just doesn’t feel like an easy fit #cfc
