@TawdBowlee Maybe the squad is built for the current expectations? When the expectations increase so will the quality of the squad?

@objective_cfc True. If we are being honest, this squad isn’t capable of much better.

To play devils advocate, away from the emotion of the nature of the PSG exit, they’re currently on track for the seasons expectations with their long term plan in mind. - CL Qualification - Competitive in cups Carabao - Semi FA Cup - Should be at least semis Champions League - R16 On the surface, that’s not horrific. I’d personally only say the season is a failure if they don’t get CL. Even then you could argue reasons as to why with quite a lot of context. Biggest instability is coming from the managerial position at the min. Interested to see what happens both with that area and with summer recruitment. If managerial position stabilised and they’re efficient in the market, I actually expect quite a big quality jump next year, which would again be in alignment with their objectives and the big picture

@east_colin We’re about to find out if you’re right or not man. I anticipate we’ll be defensively worse

@objective_cfc Nah dude, would rather see josh and sarr on the pitch than that walking disaster At least its experience and game time I didnt care of Sarr's mistake vs PSG and Hato vs Pafos because they're young players, ofc they're making mistakes

People who’ve been relentlessly slagging off Trev with soon realise this seasons reality without him imo - It’ll be a lot worse. Same with Neto. (Newcastle as an example) You may not rate him but he’s one of our best CB’s & you’ll see a negative difference without him imo

@FinancialSean Not sure any club puts in a verbal offer unless they get some sort of go ahead from the player tbf.

@objective_cfc He was never leaving Barcelona

To be fair to Clearlake, they pivoted onto the right player last summer despite the barrage of abuse at the time. Didn’t seem like we had the financial capability make on happen even if he was open to it. (Likely the UEFA thing) Another one that got away sadly.

Holy fuck, what are we doing here 😅 Blasphemy

To drive an objective argument, I’d challenge you to do 10 best decisions after this man? Because positive and negative always exists For me; 1) aggressively recruiting without getting senior management structure in place costs making a shit ton of recruitment mistakes that we’ve only just managed to tidy (Sterling) 2) deciding the style of football you want/system you want to play moving forward for the next 10/20 years before hiring a manager to ensure that if they’re sacked, you can replace them stylistically with the same type manager to help squad build 3) aggressively recruiting without step 1&2 in place 4) selling Lewis hall 5) not being extremely careful with outbound communications to an audience that are looking for reasons to resent you (4 window plan) 6) badiashile and Disasi 7) getting too excited with the Brazil market loophole/7 year contacts and dropping €20 on Washington. 8) not keeping Thiago silva around for longer 9) not signing a senior striker to help Nico Jackson & a competent 6 to help moi’s minutes. 10) not recognising the stadium issues before stating that you wanted to build a new one because similar similar to 5) the audience is looking for reasons to resent you. Under promise over deliver is always the safest way to go.

I’m trying see something quick What are the top 10 worst decisions made by Clearlake/Blue co since taken over?? When I’m saying top 10 I’m thinking about decisions on Olise, buonanotte, Felix, pulisic, etc What stands out to you?

@cfcjakko 🫥 that’s my point. I think we can.

@objective_cfc Yeah we can’t get worse surely 😂

@cfcjakko All good. Let’s see if we improve or get worse defensively man

@objective_cfc I disagree

@justcfc @CarefreeYouth The quote isn’t with reference to the base fees man. It’s with reference to wages.

Signed Neto and Felix for combined 100M+ weeks later, ‘finances involved beyond reach’

@Brady1892 Your first sentence didn’t make sense man. I’m struggling to understand you because you’re both illiterate and communicate with emojis like my 8 year old son

@objective_cfc Since Boehly 😂😂😂

Rosenior getting hammered by the British media at min. Howe isn’t getting shit after dropping £700m and getting beat 7-2 😅 Pep is getting away with it despite having a horror show domestically and in CL despite dropping over £500m in two windows.

Depends if you’re analysing how that moment has been spent. Common sense would suggest the money hasn’t been spent on players designed to peak now so therefore expecting it would be naive. Having Romans short expectations without Romans model is a recipe for anger and suffering

@objective_cfc We just have different expectations, I think for a club that has spent 1.5 billion great British pounds, the team should be much further along than it is. I don't think that's an outlandish or unreasonable claim to make, I think majority of fans would agree.

@Brady1892 Chelsea have 1.5 billion?

@objective_cfc Give him a 10 year contract mate, he'll get the players respecting the ball next season. Chelsea have 1.5 billion in the last few seasons as well 😂😂

@mc25v1 @Flinty_01 Interesting perspective. Personally disagree but you’re a free man.

@Flinty_01 @objective_cfc I’m not saying fans should suffer but things need to get worse on and off the pitch, only then will the fans be united and have a serious protest

Anyone here supporting Chelsea this weekend or is it a pretty unified hate watch? 🫨 I am.

I said to you this year expectations. This is fact. It’s not my opinion. I said to you that expectations will progress year on year every year moving forward. Progressive expectations are normal. This is also a fact. Objectively this season is a new challenge because getting CL football whilst competing in champions league is not the same as getting CL whilst being in the conference league. It’s comparable. The former being substantially harder. This is the reason Newcastle and Villa bounce in and out and it’s the reason why United will find it harder next season than this season. You responded with a replying with emojis and saying the word ‘delusion’ ffs and then wonder why I said you communicate like a child

@objective_cfc So you don't expect progress each season? Last year = get top 4. This year = get top 4, but finish slightly closer to the champions. You don't think that is the objective?

@mediocreChels Interesting thought process man

@objective_cfc I'm praying for a KDH's late winner

@Jonnydc1986 If you’re going down this path, if anyone should have an excuse of all three it should be Liam Rosenior. Considering he’s an experienced manager, having been in the job for 2 months, zero pre season and zero transfer spend…

@objective_cfc They have credit in the bank. Rosenior is applying LinkedIn to football management

@Random123582 My man, I’m getting the vibe you’re not here to find out what’s true. You’re here to be try and come across right because you communicate in a very childish manor tbh Lots of emojis and shit

@objective_cfc Comparing us to villa and Newcastle 😂😂😂 yeah my bad bro, I didn't know you haven't been supporting Chelsea for long. Once upon a time, Chelsea were a serious club.

@dani18424 There is a reason Maresca’s first Choice and Rosenior first choice in big games is Trev and Wes man….

@objective_cfc We've lost games without Tosin too, does it mean he was a miss? I have more confidence in Fofana, Sarr and Hato than Chalobah.

@CRSportTraining @NiiNiiFC Are you open to the idea that 1) and 2) could be a consequence of the illegal payments etc under abramovich that led to the recent fine? Made positions untenable?

@NiiNiiFC 1. Letting Bath + Fraser leave 2. Ousting other longstanding members of staff and coaches Generally believing they know more than everyone else. 3. Letting SDs (especially Shields) do all their mates favors, sign old players etc 4. Transfer business in general 5. Briefs

@dani18424 A shit defender is better than a really shit defender if you’re trying to get CL football man

@objective_cfc Correlation doesn’t cause causation

My man. This seasons expecting we’re to - Get top 4 - compete in all cups The reason why it’s different from last is because competing in the CL without it effecting league form is a much greater challenge - as you can see Ask Newcastle and Villa too How is that difficult to comprehend?

@objective_cfc What's factual? 😂 Sure the target is to get top 4. But LOGICALLY there should be improvements from each season. Last season we got top 4. This season we should get top 4 BUT ALSO be closer to the champions points wise. How is this difficult to comprehend? 😂😂
