Unai Emery: 7 Europa League finals, only 1 defeat.
Luis Enrique: 14 finals, only 1 defeat.
Both managers suffered their only final defeat against this club.
💥 @Matt_Law_DT on how BlueCo can best help Alonso: They've called him manager, so let him manage. Do not micromanage him. Don't pat him on the head for victories. Don't make him debrief every defeat. Don't have the bloody cultural architect telling him where the players should huddle or where they shouldn't huddle. Give him space, give him time, him trust, give him support.
Arsenal fans had to watch Chelsea win the PL five times, win the CL twice, complete Europe and win the club World Cup to complete football.
Let our little brothers have one season to celebrate
🚨 BREAKING: Xabi Alonso has accepted to become Chelsea next manager, HERE WE GO! 🔵🔜
The agreement is set to be completed.
#CFC prepare official announcement for the upcoming days, but Xabi said YES. 💣
The fact that Xabi Alonso hasn't ruled himself out of the Chelsea job gives me a lot of confidence.
It's up to Chelsea to offer him favorable conditions that will entice him to take the job.
We missed Nagelsmann, missed Enrique; we can't miss Alonso. Just do whatever it takes to sign him and get this project up and running again.
He's the ONE!
The Times are reporting that Andoni Iraola would need to be convinced that taking the Chelsea job would be worth his while. 😂
There are people like me praying for Chelsea to avoid contacting him or his agent.
Thierry Henry: "Let Estevao cook, let him play. We need to enjoy this type of players in this type of games. It doesn't have to be scripted all the time. You wouldn't like to play against him because he's coming at you all the time, he's coming at you the whole game, whether he's having a good game or not a good game. He's trying to test you all the time and see if you're going to stop him or not."
I give up and this is all on the manager, his decision to start this liability of a goalkeeper, his decision to take off our two best players, his decision to put two players who give us nothing.
Saliba has 2 hands around Pedro holding him and impeding him from jumping as high as he could’ve otherwise, that’s a foul.
Rice is facing away from the ball, not interested in it, everything he’s doing is purely to impede the attacking team, that’s a foul.
Timber has two arms around Chalobah not allowing him to move, that’s a foul.
Raya superman punches Pedro in the head, that’s a foul
But it’s Chelsea so it never is
🗣️ Wayne Rooney: "I was watching the Chelsea game as well. I think fans need to understand as well that you can lose games of football. And sometimes at half time, you may be losing.
But the effect that that has on players when your own fans booing you. The effect that has on you when your own fans boo you. Let’s try to get behind the team and try and help them win."
