Another poor result today, will they really give him time ?

In a short time he looks much older. The pressure will be immense.

Well it’s interesting to me to compare those stats.

How about this stat. Potter has a win rate of 45% with a team that finished 3rd in the PL the previous season compared to De Zerbi’s 46.2% win rate with a team that finished 9th. That’s quite interesting too.
We have definitely ended up with a far better manager whose teams can score goals.

Christ if see one more article referencing his emotional intelligence.

Here's an alternative take.

Chelsea turned up. Mudryk (headphones on chewing gum) and his agent are present.

Chelsea offer Mudryk 50,000 extra emotional intelligences a week and his Mr 15% an extra 3 million emotional intelligences and everyone shook hands.
Excellent :LOL:

It's interesting.
De Zerbi inherited a team in good form and changed very little at first, but introduced a couple of new ideas, bit by bit.
Potter inherited a far better squad, but has gone backwards with them.

My feeling is that De Zerbi is a more empathetic coach and has managed the transition extremely well.
But in fairness to him, it wasn't the step up, that Potter has had to cope with.

De Zerbi seemed happy to join a club with an established squad and no interference from the owner.

Potter, eyes shut, seemed happy to go where the money was.

Tony Blair too, entered 10 Downing St looking like a healthy man, left looking like a cadaver. For all Potter’s admirable ambition you can’t help wondering if he regrets that move. At least he’ll qualify for a free bus pass and a winter fuel allowance if he gets sacked.

Also, Bloom was happy with the style of football we were playing and brought in a new manager who would help continue with that style, whereas Chelsea brought in a manager who would change they way they play. The latter is obviously going to need more time to implement that. Still, it's surprising that they've had such poor results given the amount of talent they have to choose from.

I had a quick peek at the Shed End earlier, not happy campers. The general feeling seems to be that he’ll get this season, but the vast majority wish he wouldn’t.

Yer ridiculous hype for a bloody Ukrainian league player who had a few decent games against rubbish opponents in the champions League!!!
Some may complain why we don’t buy this player that player for £30m + me included at times when we couldn’t hit a barn door for weeks on end. You have to hand it to TB he’s the smart one he knows all these players are well over priced and I’m glad he never gets tempted to waste precious funds on these hyped up players by the media.

There maybe a reason when we sell a player like Cucurella they don’t look as good. We buy a player to fit perfectly into a role that serves our team and they excel because it’s the perfect part of a jigsaw. I wouldn’t even want Cucurella after his recent performances for free he’s terrible.
