Mauricio Pochettino to Manchester United news and Malo Gusto requesting a move from Chelsea breaking in the same day… Coincidence?

Gusto played his best football under Poch. United, £60m and he’s yours.

[~ @CFCdruw]

He’s won 40 trophies as a Manager, which goes without mentioning the 17 he won in his playing career. He played under Johan Cruyff, who is considered the “father” of Pep’s futbol and ideas. Two of my favorite Gaffers. Pep is adamant that there wouldn’t be a Pep Guardiola without Cruyff.

He’s managed Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City (yuck). If we hire Pep, this will be the best appointment our federation will ever make.

@tomisinpacked @yerdas_outV2 Those are our two best players. Surely, that’s a main part of the issue? Of course, other facets need to improve, but missing your top two players for the time we have would hurt any Club.

Xabi Alonso, Hermano, until the bloody wheels fall off. I’m tired of the lack of vision from our fanbase. I’m ready to suffer, succeed, smile, frown… Success at the top isn’t meant to be easy. Through the highs and lows, I’m behind you.

[𝐏𝐒𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐓 @PSGINT_]

overly rigid and predictable

everyone including dembouz sees what a Terroroist Luis Enrique is

please Nasser get him OUT!

[~ @CFCdruw]

What did Pochettino do to warrant this type of backing after we suffered with him for an entire season? Oh, but don’t ask these supporters to back Xabi Alonso, who’s been with us for 13 matches.

[#XabiOut @bwondonn]

This team had the foundations to be something great if they stuck with the manager for another season, gave him half of the keys like they have done with “Xabi” and added a few smart additions throughout the squad. Clearlake fucked up the easiest “project” ever seen in football.

@n94987 To be honest, I’m incredibly bummed out about him leaving the USMNT. He gave us some great World Cup memories.

@basedsoreal I love your profile picture 👏

[~ @CFCdruw]

One of the best starts to a career we’ve ever seen from a £100m signing. I’ve not seen a single person talk about his price tag and for good reason. And to think, some Chelsea fans didn’t want to sign him… He’s probably been our POTS, so far.

[Chelsea FC @ChelseaFC]

Morgan so far in a Chelsea shirt. 👊🔵

[~ @CFCdruw]

@BreezyUTD “Post him” like we aren’t currently Champions of the World. Before you “belittle” this trophy/honor, I want you to sit back and think about how you’d react if United became Champions of the World. Oh, and in May, we’ll check the Premier League Table. Yawn.

[~ @CFCdruw]

We need more players like Penders and Chavarría in the squad. Those who aren’t afraid to give their all and show emotion.

Penders reaction after his huge save against Mbeumo and Pep’s consistent running up and down the pitch, defending AND attacking. The Chelsea way.

[~ @CFCdruw]

@delsamke Do you even support our Club anymore? Are you here for doom and gloom or what’s up? Chelsea will always prevail.

[~ @CFCdruw]

The Sunderland performance was dire and the result was even worse. That being said, I wish the result didn’t take away from some of the performances we saw.

Pep Chavarría and Mike Penders continue to impress every time they step foot on the pitch for Chelsea. Two players who feel Chelsea coded, even though it’s early days in their Chels careers.

In that second half, Moi displayed one of the best CB performances we’ve seen all season. Brobbey had nothing in the second half. Of course, this isn’t ideal, considering how poor Colwill was, but more proof as to why Moi continues to be our best player (along with JP).

Lastly, and I’ll say this quietly… If that’s the Wesley Fofana we can continue getting, then he’s perfect for the 4th/5th CB position. I thought he had a good response after a poor showing against United. Still not ideal, but a step in the right direction.

[~ @CFCdruw]

Malo Gusto seeking a move in January. It’s safe to say, for all parties involved, it’s the right time to move on from each other.

Pochettino had Gusto playing like one of the best RB’s in the world and he was a joy to watch. Unfortunately, since then, he hasn’t been anywhere near those levels.

We’ll successfully sell him for £60m+.

[~ @CFCdruw]

@iamgaurav_92 @carefree_2209 Two completely different situations, Hermano. We watched Poch for an entire season. We’re what, 13 games into Xabi’s tenure..? come on. Patience.

[~ @CFCdruw]

Manchester United fans, listen to Chelsea Supporters regarding Pochettino. Cole Palmer, Malo Gusto, and playing young players were about the only positives under him. Tactically, our set-ups were a mess.

I think of Arsenal 0-5, 1-4 to Newcastle, 2-4 against Wolves..

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF

[~ @CFCdruw]

@carefree_2209 Arsenal away was on my birthday. Safe to say, Pochettino gave me a dreadful gift. 😂

[~ @CFCdruw]

@labxnair Genuinely. His performances keep going under the radar, mostly due to some poor results, but I know what I’m seeing… Top.

[~ @CFCdruw]

The most obvious fan favorite as soon as he signed with the Club. When you watch his Rayo tape, he’s always left everything on the pitch and we’ve noticed that in his appearances so far this season. A lot of our players need to mimic this part of Pep’s game. Chelsea coded.

[✧𝖙𝔬𝔩𝔳 @JustToluX_]

Chavarria, I see those runs even if nobody else does.

[~ @CFCdruw]

@huncho_kbh Agreed, which is another reason why the result hurts. Wes was really poor against United, but played well against Brobbey and Sunderland (impressive response). We’re frustrated with the result, which makes it easy to overlook a performance like Fofana’s, Pep’s, and Moi’s.

[~ @CFCdruw]

“Fofana who isn’t very good and Colwill who isn’t much better”

Yep, this just confirms how some people in the media refuse to talk positively about Chelsea. If Xabi doesn’t select those two against Sunderland, then who’s meant to play CB?

Lacroix = injured
Acheampong = injured
Anselmino = just returned from injury
Hato = injured

Can someone please explain to me what a manager’s supposed to do in this situation?

@TheBlueLampCFC @akimalhotra92 Wow. Incredible read. Thank you for this.

Xabi, Hermano, until the wheels fall off. I won’t back away when times are tough… That’s the easy way out. 😴
