@MacMac5i3 @WWisdany4145 which top team in EPL do you know uses 4-4-2? lol

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

@jehmyE So we should add quality to where there is already loads of quality, deprioritising where there is actually lack of quality?

Got it

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

@callmeTSMART Olise and Declan Rice

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

@jehmyE Asked them which midfielders he should use in their 442 formation, they will say Barco and Lavia. I dont border to reply them.

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

@QUEENOFDBLUES1 I really don't mind missing out on Ferran, but i really need someone to explain to me like a 3year old, how we sold Jackson to buy a 35year old Welbeck.

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

@FluxCFC @QUEENOFDBLUES1 But a 35 yr old Wellbeck is better right?

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

Same team we trashed 😂

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

Lets not give up... keep on believing and supporting Xabi.

I hope the owners get some better signings in, during January transfer window

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

A game without him and we couldn't score a goal

unbelievable

[GBEMISOLA CFC💙 @QUEENOFDBLUES1]

Know this and know peace

Chelsea don't have defence.

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

Play Barvo

Play Barco

Play Barco

Can you guys see now that this guy physical ability can’t withstand EPL pressure? Man is like paper

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

@king_abimbola 🥺

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

Unbelievable

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

“If I look for perfection, I will be frustrated always.”

Xabi says what he wants from Chelsea right now is CONTINUITY, SOLIDITY and a team that knows exactly what it’s going to do on the pitch.

This is what I’ve been waiting to hear.

We already have the quality. Now give this team an identity and CONTROL. 💙

The Chelsea we see today should look completely different by the end of the season.

🚨 Xabi Alonso on Chelsea’s defensive problems:

“We need to find the right balance.”

Chelsea have scored 18 GOALS in just 6 games this season… but keeping teams out has been the problem. 😭

I love the attacking football, but we can’t continue needing 3 or 4 goals just to comfortably win games.

Give me a boring 2-0 tomorrow please, Xabi. 😂💙

Chelsea are being linked with Manchester United’s 15-year-old wonderkid JJ Gabriel. 👀💙

Gabriel has formally asked to LEAVE United, with Fabrizio Romano confirming the biggest clubs in Europe are now watching the situation.

Chelsea. Real Madrid. Barcelona. Bayern. PSG.

But there’s a catch for us: our current academy registration restriction means an immediate move isn’t straightforward.

This kid scored 26 goals in 29 youth appearances last season and just hit a hat-trick on his UEFA Youth League debut. 😳

One to WATCH.

[The 5th stand @thecfc5thstand]

Important: the media only saw the first 15 minutes of the session, so no need to panic yet.

Hopefully Xabi has good news on Thursday because losing JP or Reece right now is the LAST thing we need. 😭
