Champions League starts tomorrow. There are quite a few big matches kicking things off. Can’t wait to watch The Bhoys face off against Real Madrid.

Well, Auba is starting for Chelsea today in Champions League match. Will be interesting to see what that looks like. Will have Sterling and Havertz with him.

Feels like Tuchel has lost the players confidence. They are on life support right now and Tuchel can’t find the defib. It’s a long season, but the way we look like right now we will be lucky to be playing any European football next season.

Disappointing. Need UT Football to stomp Pittsburgh this Saturday and keep me from being all out sports depressed please 😂

Dynamo Zagreb are a decent squad. They have had 1 of the better youth academies for a few years now.

It does feel like some of the players are just going through the motions right now. Maybe Tuchel needs to make them all run after a loss like Ten Hag did, seemed to work for them.

It’s not even just the loss today, it’s just the whole start to the season. It looks like a mess and Tuchel is at a loss to figure it out. It’s a long season, but right now it looks bleak.

I didn’t watch, what was your take on Aubameyang?

Hard to judge. Our attack was woeful all the way around. He did have a clear shot at net on one break and tried to pass instead which I thought was the wrong decision.. but yeah, idk, hard to take much positives all around from this game.

New owners, same Chelsea.

While it seemed he had lost the locker room a bit with some of these results, there has to be more to this.

Chaos and Trophies, Chelsea FC.

In no way am I happy about this. I felt something was Rotten (wow I fat fingered while spelling rotten and it autocorrected to Tottenham. Touché autocorrect 😂) but it still is majorly premature. He deserved time to right the ship. Anyways, at least when we sack managers we ALWAYS win a trophy. 😬

Please don’t let Chelsea get Potter.

Well I may have been wrong to say I didn’t think we’d get Potter. Supposedly he’s on his way to London to meet with Boehly. Brighton is only 50ish miles from London so it’s not incredibly far but I don’t think you miss a training day to travel to be courted by another team unless you are seriously considering taking the position. Chelsea media saying it could even be done today.

Tuchel gets fired wherever he goes. He lacks control of his emotions and always finds himself at war with his owners.

“Bold strategy cotton, let’s see how that works out for him.”

I have no issues with Chelsea proper. I just am not a fan of Boehly. Being a Braves fan, I hope anything Boehly touches crumbles into dust.

I have been following Potter since his time at Ostersund. If he is chosen, and Chelsea are patient and willing to build for the long term, he could do great things there.

I’m a Braves fan too and I grappled with that as well. Also has ownership in the Lakers and I hate them as well. So I get it 😂

I decided to just look at Boehly the person and he has bright ideas and I like the way he wants to run the club.. so it is what it is I guess.

If its Potter, I just hope he’s ready for the step up. Chelsea isn’t Brighton. It’s easier to get guys that maybe aren’t the most sought after to play together, it’s another thing to manage bigger egos and get top flight players to buy into playing as one.

Would love to hear some analysis from you on Potter if you have the time though. I’ve been reading some stuff but seems like you would have some great insight considering you’ve followed him for a while.
