Why Alonso's system fits Chelsea perfectly.
Loaded in midfield + wingers
3-4-2-1:
Winger wing-back
Two wingers double tens
Pedro + Palmer behind striker
Still need: GK, CB, striker. Same shopping list.
Bloated squad perfect fit.
#XabiAlonso#Chelsea#PremierLeague
Man United — players undermining managers. We talked about it for years.
Liverpool 2025/26 — happening. Clearly.
Same problem. Different badge.
And it has to be a factor in the decline from champions to this.
Dressing room takes over.
#Liverpool#Slot#Salah#PremierLeague#EPL
Salah: "Heavy metal football is non-negotiable. Everyone must adapt."
= Klopp's exact phrase
= Direct hit at Slot's style
= Not veiled AT ALL
"Winning games here and there isn't enough for Liverpool"
= Another direct hit
Grenade. Pulled. Dropped. Walked.

Alonso's Leverkusen heartbeat: Xhaka
Alonso's Leverkusen captain: Xhaka
Ballon d'Or top 30 under Alonso: Xhaka 👀
Does Alonso need that profile at Chelsea?
They already have Caicedo. They already have Fernandes.
The pieces might already be there.
#Xhaka#Chelsea#PremierLeague
Brighton vs United picks 💰
✅ Welbeck — loves scoring vs United, Brighton have something to play for
Burnley vs Wolves:
😂 Managerless
😂 Rudderless
😂 Nobody cares
😂 No assets
😂 Move on
#Welbeck#Brighton#ManUnited#Statrdraft#FantasyFootball
CONFIRMED. Xabi Alonso. Chelsea manager. 😶
The dominos:
Alonso → Chelsea ✅
Silva → Benfica ✅
Mourinho → Real Madrid ✅
Called it during the week.
51 games unbeaten. Jose principles. Pep ethos. Perfect squad fit.
#XabiAlonso#Chelsea#PremierLeague#Statrdraft
Chelsea under Alonso. Three players from dangerous. 👀
Robinson → left wing-back
Cucurella → third CB
Muñoz → right wing-back
Caicedo + Lavia → midfield base
Enzo → out
Funded by clearing deadwood.
Three players. Real problem.
#XabiAlonso#Chelsea#PremierLeague#Transfers
The irony of Salah's comments. 👀
He attacks Slot publicly →
Liverpool can't sack Slot now →
Sacking = "Salah was right" →
Blueprint for every future player →
Slot survives until Christmas minimum
#Salah#Liverpool#Slot#PremierLeague
Salah in the final game? No. 😤
Disrespected the manager ❌
Disrespected the dressing room ❌
Disrespected a club that gave him everything
Chelsea binned him. Italy. Liverpool gave him the platform.
No farewell lap. No standing ovation.
#Salah#Liverpool#Slot#PremierLeague#EPL
Chelsea summer plan. 👀
OUT: Enzo, Garnacho, Cucurella

Seamus Coleman. 📊
Fee: £60,000
Appearances: 434
Career: 2009-2026
Less than an apartment in Limerick.
Less than a quarter of Salah's weekly wage.
Best pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history.
Thank you Seamus
#SeamusColeman#Everton#PremierLeague#Ireland#Retirement
Casemiro retirement tour. Final chapter. 😤
One header = Premier League record
Only non-striker on the list
Bruno assists. Casemiro heads it.
United win.
Big Daddy going out on his terms. 💰
Assets: Bruno + Casemiro.
#Casemiro#BrunoFernandes#ManUnited#PremierLeague#Statrdraft
Salah pulled the pin. Dropped the grenade. Walked out
Before: Slot's tactics wrong for the PL
Now: Do players even trust him?
Has the dressing room been poisoned all season?
Is THAT why Liverpool have looked like a team refusing to play for their manager
#Liverpool#PremierLeague
Alonso's style.
Structure: Jose / Conte — defence first, 3-4-3
Ethos: Pep — control, positional play
= Jose principles + Pep ethos
The most complete tactical blend in modern football.
51 games unbeaten in season one. Makes complete sense.
#XabiAlonso#Liverpool#PremierLeague
Alonso. First season in management.
51 games unbeaten
First Leverkusen Bundesliga title ever
First invincible Bundesliga season in history
Ended Bayern's 11 consecutive titles
League with Bayern & Dortmund
Only loss: Europa League final. Lookman hat-trick.
Van Dijk final day of the season. World Cup year. 👀
Normal season: First on the front line 💪
This season: Mystery flu incoming
Gomez + Konaté at centre-back.
Van Dijk in the crowd clapping
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
#VanDijk#Liverpool#Netherlands#WorldCup#PremierLeague
Slot: 1 PL title
Klopp: 1 PL title
Same number. The title that pulled Liverpool level with Man United.
Salah publicly undermining him on the way out.
Highly disrespectful. Full stop. 😶
#Salah#Liverpool#Slot#PremierLeague#EPL
Liverpool fans: "We want heavy metal attacking football" 😤
Manager who plays exactly that at every club:
Ange Postecoglou ✅
Liverpool fans reaction to Ange:
#Ange#Liverpool#PremierLeague#EPL
Katie McCabe.
Blueprint. Role model. Inspiration.
Hard work + ability = this.
Every young girl and boy in Ireland wanting to play football — look at her.
We'll keep shouting about her. Every time. As loud as possible. 💚
