Chelsea....... Borefest

[Iggledybobittybo]

Probably a billion quid of footballing talent on the pitch and bench for Chelsea today and they play the dullest football I have ever seen. It's Man City light, lots of tippy tappy possession but no end product. I know some of us whinged about Wilder but I wouldn't pay 10 Bob to sit and watch a Tuchel team unless I suffered with severe insomnia. No joy in their play whatsoever, very very German!

4th in the Premier League
FA Cup semi-final
Quarter finals of the Champions League

Their fans must be suicidal.

Yep 14 games, 10 wins and 4 draws with only 2 goals conceded and just beat Athletico home and Away.

Must be horrible being a Chelsea fan right now!

Two holding midfield players at home to a team thrashed 5 zip the week before........ Yep that Tuchel fella is a real innovator. My main point is why do all pundits fawn over this bloke when the football he provides is so very dull. When Jose does it they slate him........

What you’d expect with the money they’ve spent

Probably exactly those type of stats however they were nowhere near under Fat Frank so the job Tuchel has done in such a short space of time has been pretty impressive.

Or alternatively he played the 4231 formation that a high proportion of the worlds best teams play

My mates a Chelsea fan and I always rip him about how dull Chelsea are. They have the lamest of fans n all. I've never watched a Chelsea game and thought, feck me that was scintillating, despite all the coinage they've spunked.

 

[JJBlade]

It's called probing
It's what clever players do against stubborn scrubbers with no intention of trying to win.

Different in the third division when the boot is sometimes on the other foot (note I did say sometimes)

Just a quick question. Take away the money aspect, would you get a season ticket to watch that "insomnia" if the Blades adopted those tactics..?

 

[jono_t2000]

Are there any exciting london teams? Arsenal, Chelsea, Palace etc all snooze fests

 

[Snowflake]

I would if we kept on winning like they do !

Chelsea's formation was 3-4-2-1.

 

[Upton_Blade]

Chelsea's formation was 3-4-2-1.

Yeah just realised I put the wrong one in.

Sunday drinking eh

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Chelsea have 10 men and still playing 5 at the back and 2 holding midfielders, strange. (Losing 2-1)

James Azpeilcueta Rudiger Christiansen Alonso

Jorginho Kovacic Mount

Werner

Yes mate because I'm one of those numpties who always gets a season ticket regardless. Anyway, after watching David Weir's team play, Chelsea are like Brazil 1970

 

[BushBlade]

Fat Sam might be out of work next season, we should get him in to play some proper football instead of this tippy-tappy shit.

 

[BladeTillIDie]

How can you be losing at home to WBA with 10 men and still playing 5 at the back???!

 

[Sithblade]

If only Callum Robinson could play Chelsea every week, 4 or 5 goals in 3 games.

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

Calum Robinson !
Can't imagine our swapee doing that!

This is a Sheffield United forum mate.. We give no fucks about Chelsea or any other London fuck hole club. Ffs.

Nothing going on at united to discuss?

Slow news week for the blades eh..

Cant wait to get out of the Premier league and get the forum back..

'Chelsea are expected to complete the signing of Sporting Lisbon's 22-year-old Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who has a £52m release clause'

How is this even financially allowed? They've not even sold anyone yet.

£10.4m/year across the maximum period you can amortise a transfer for is, for a club their size, a rounding error?

Indeed, but there'll become a time in 4 years time when they've spunked their budget already and for the following 4 years lol.

With their level of turnover I'm sure they won't lose any sleep about "spunking their budget"
