Everytime I hear Gab Marcotti talk things with certainty, I only remember what he said about the Fabregas to Chelsea rumours, bruv spoke a lot and dismissed it catergorically, only for Fabregas to join us 2 weeks later.
Gab has lost the plot. That was almost embarrassing.

I don't understand him saying that Chelsea doesn't have the players to execute the system. First of all, Xavi and Iniesta are once-in-a-generation players. Second of all, this is the reason the owners wanted a head coach whose main focus was coaching the players. The more focus that coaching the players gets the more the players will learn the system. Everyone needs to understand that a project like this takes time. The owners and fans need to accept the fact that we're not in a position to win major titles immediately but if the project, the manager, and the players are given time to grow together and are given the support of the fans and the owners, then there is no reason that this shouldn't succeed with time. Also, who did Leicester have that right away fit perfectly in the system. Listen to the Leicester players talk about the first weeks with him as manager. They openly admitted that they felt stupid compared to him when he spoke about football.

Haters FC giving out wrong information again. Last season under Poch, Chelsea dominated games and had better XG overall for many months. The idea that Chelsea doesn't have the players for game domination tells you how much some of these guys don't watch football games. As a pundit, you get paid to talk football. You should know better than a random fan out there. Take some time to look at the stats before coming on TV to talk rubbish.
I feel like it’s somewhat lazy journalism from people when I hear them all repeating points about not having the players to retain possession, are they just listening to others say this and repeating it without really giving it any thought? Are you seriously trying to tell me that Chelsea don’t have the players capable of doing that, but Leicester do? It’ll be harder in the premier league for sure, but Chelsea have higher quality players.

Because he's looking at it objectively
To be honest, I've never even heard of Maresca until now. I don't know if he has done anything noteworthy, other than getting Leicester back into the Premier League - something they would have achieved even if Ronald McDonald was coaching them.
Choice of Maresca, a devout 4-3-3 offensive/creative attractive football manager proves to me that Chelsea board are determined they want their club playing football their fans can really enjoy week in and out. Poch never uses this formation so they rid of him. It all makes sense to me now. Except, will it work is a big question mark. Becoming like Man City of pre-Haaland and Alvarez days- when they still played 4-3-3 is a very difficult task, even when you've got the financial resources.
This season will be a long one for Chelsea. They also have conference league and club World Cup. Assuming they go all the way in conference league and have any kind of a decent domestic cup run, they’ll be playing close to 65 matches
Ian Maatsen release clause is 35 million pound, Get your Facts Right!!
It will be interesting to see how he does with Chelsea.
These guys never approved anything good about Chelsea
All Chelsea players were bought from a technical team that played possession based football. Only the cobham graduates are road runners. This was always the vision of the board and poch was not that guy. Maresca might not have the top flight experience but he has everything else they are looking for. He wasn’t my first choice but let’s go Enzo !!
Chelsea will be lucky to be 6 next season under that manager. You guys all forgot it takes much longer time to get used to Pep’s system, usually close to a full season. Look at Grealish, Harverts, and most City players. Only couple really talented players like Kevin, Haaland, Rice can get used to in a short time. So if you bank on he brings City style of play, then you should also know this system takes at least a season or two like Arsenal did. And that is also you are betting on he is as good as Arteta
2:11 When I talk about the Barcelona team being very influential
Has Arne slot the same football philosophy as pep?
Although, placing 6th on the log is not Chelsea standard, I would quickly admit that it's a far better team than last season's.
The same owners had Thomas Tuchel as coach . Chelsea controlled games then but we had to let him go
It is so sad to see those who you think should know better, knows nothing.
Teams like Newcastle will get to focus on the league while Chelsea now have Europe to balance added to their players not fitting to archetype to play ball dominate football I got them finishing 9th
Not making end of the season button
If they actually get Maresca and keep him for 5 years then fine but if it's for another 6-9 months what's the point
As a chelsea fan I want a experienced manager whose atleast coached in the prem before.
Why was Enzo Fernandes left off of the incomings??
Everyone is talking about how low Chelsea has been but they forgot what the club went through under the British government 🤔. We all know who Chelsea was. Give them some credit and pray for them to get on their feet again 😢

How did Chillwell manage to get out of the medical bed

Everybody says players, team talk, tactics etc. but keep forgetting the most important thing which is the FANS. You need to get the fans on your back or else you might play the best game of your lives but keep losing 5-0 then fans will start going against you.
