I was desperate for Chelsea fans to study De la Fuente's Spain at the Euros, not the quick glance to tweet for clout. Cogitation! I'd hoped it would reduce the psychotic breakdown at the dawn of Maresca's reign & maybe help most of you identify where the team needs surgery. 1/6

Hato's Chelsea career was a funeral arrangement of series of pre-planned loan spells by January. It is glorious to see a dead man fight his way back to life, it is even more gratifying to watch a boy defy odds that brought the careers of great men to an early grave. ✨

Even if the foul on Pedro wasn't a blatant one, how on earth was the one on Hato overlooked? I really can't wrap my head around such a dreadful officiating. It is just too consistent to be a coincidence in every final we play at Wembley lately.

We're too young a team to be consistently outrun by every team in every game. The laziness is mind-bugging. A serious discussion needs to be held on Fofana at the end of the season.

It'll be a an absolute farce to claim Xabi Alonso isn't sitting in front of his TV watching the game. The Alonso auditions have started today, like it or not. Whoever fails to live up to expectations will find themselves behind the scenes of a very horrible movie next season.

Even a blind man has seen how affording Doku enough space to cut into his strong foot has yielded dividends for the Belgian lately, I hope Malo & whoever plans to double up on him out wide understand how pivotal this job is for everyone involved.

That we cannot mistake the stars reflecting in a pond to those in the sky. We can't take a leap, sitting on a pile of broken ladders every season. With the appointment of Xabi Alonso, the Chelsea hierarchy can show the fans that the club's strongest days are ahead and not behind.

We're clinging on to the fragile web of a Wembley miracle rather than a confident glare into the enemy's eyes & rightly so. Whatever happens at Wembley today, the stench of all the recruitment mistakes will linger on like a crate of rotten eggs if we haven't learned a thing. 1/2

A tabloid of elite qualities. The blue-coloured owner of the incinerator; the kinsman of goalscoring midfield falcons, the emperor of box crashing, and the echelon that precedes midfield supremacy at the highest level. He is him, my Argentine delight. El Musico 🪄

[🍁 Christopher 🍁 @StanleyMikeCB]

This is a no-brainer, the Chelsea hierarchy must seize the opportunity to restore parity, go to the pond as early as possible and pick the fattest warm in the mud, clean your hook and thrust into a pond of managerial scarcity, there'll never be a better chance to restore glory.

[🍁 Christopher 🍁 @StanleyMikeCB]

On the cold Arctic walls of redemption, Xabi Alonso & the Chelsea hierarchy have some monumental restitutions to do. This is a matrimony that could heal a plethora of lost ambition, faith & reputation. Chelsea, in its current state is a collection of expensive marbles...1/7

[🍁 Christopher 🍁 @StanleyMikeCB]

The air is thick with the scent of lost identity at CFC, the hierarchy sits in a glass tower, looking down at a fractured congregation of loyal fans. Alonso carries the silent weight of a legacy that despite its brilliance, seeks a crown in English glory to wash away the anguish.

[🍁 Christopher 🍁 @StanleyMikeCB]

We loose that game without Colwil today, and it's not even open for debate. It's not rocket science/coincidence that our build up suddenly looks like a portrait from Picasso's collection with Levi orchestrating things. We can't live like this next season, man.

[🍁 Christopher 🍁 @StanleyMikeCB]

It's not even the lad's fault, where was Diaz at 21? He was busy failing & trying to be better before he got here. How has a massive club like Chelsea decided to embrace the development stages of underdeveloped players & still demand for consistency? We need to suffer, man.

Thought about the way Lucho brought down that pass that led to his goal. The control, the shimmy to take out Maquinhos & the exquisiteness in the finish. Caicedo dinked one into Garnacho's path vs Leeds & I felt the cold pain of development like an acid down my throat. 1/2
