You 8-2 See One Team Score 9 Times- The Other Teams Thread

They have enough good players to get them through games against weak oppositon, but Lampard lacks what it takes to tactically out think decent opposition

Chelsea's have won 7 league games this season, those wins have come against teams currently sat in 10th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th & 20th

Big alarm bells should be ringing when you have given someone £200M and they can only beat those^ teams

 

Roman won’t stand for his bullshit. Disaster waiting to happen if they think Tuchel is going to bring him immediate success. They might as well just stick with Lampard until end of season and then see.

If they want long term success, Allegri might be the guy to deliver.

 

Not sure there is much to read into that since the EPL table is a bit upside-down now. Maybe not upside-down but it hasn't settled itself yet. Bottom-line Chelsea are only 3 points from second place. Nobody would've expected them to finish higher than 3rd and that is still totally achievable. They also won their CL group.

I haven't been following all the gossip but I would think Lampard is pretty far from being fired (although nobody is that far I guess).

 

Looks like Sevilla are set to finish in the top 4 again.

 

No sign of Kubo coming on...

Barca looking bad but Eibar look worse.

 

Wait, Eibarman is not playing?

 

Araujo gifts a goal to Eibar! He tried passing it back to Mats and got it stolen! Barca down 1-0

Barcelona 1 - 1 Eibar FT. Always good news when they drop points.

 

Barca draw but we need atletico to start dropping points

 

Eibar deserve the credit, fought for every inch, deserved point!

 

Are Barca going to sack Koeman anytime soon?

 

Don’t be such a Debbie downer, always assuming the worst. Why don’t you just enjoy him whilst he’s there.

 

I'm all for him staying there as long as possible, of course, that's why I was asking.

 

I was kidding

 

Hope Getafe take points off Atlético tonight. Atlético are our rivals for the title while Barca will be fighting for Top 4 under Koeman.

 

Can’t decide if I want Laporta to get elected or not. On one hand I would love for our team to destroy his smug face once again. On the other hand he presided over two of their golden periods after taking over the club when it was in shambles - kinda like now. First with buying Ronaldinho and then with Guardiola.

 

Anyone thinking he’ll walk in and suddenly everything magical will be mistaken.

He won’t have that golden generation to make his presidency look good but instead a debt ridden club with aging players

 

Very true. Dude really has been the definition of a double-edged sword for them

After semi-following some of the other candidates, I sadly don’t see anyone else able to challenge Laporta. Victor Font seems to be a bit more sane and would probably run them well commercially; but seems to lack personality and doesn’t have a clue on the sporting side apart from ‘Xavi will save us’ which I’m not sure is a strong enough pull for the voters.

Edit: Also have to say that Laporta brought in Soriano and Txiki who were their equivalents of Xavi and Iniesta off the pitch. Now that they are at City, if Laporta can repeat that sort of exec team then they will become a force to be reckoned with.
