Offside Trap

Chelsea exit the UCL Round of 16 after an embarrassing defeat to PSG. Our CL run by the numbers: 10 matches | 19 goals scored | 18 conceded | Avg Sofascore 6.75 A very average campaign. Not good enough for the investment spent. Let’s break it down quick and honest.

Zero chance of an all English final 😔

@FOXSoccer @MLS @MLSes @SOTUWithAlexi @FOXSports Is this a joke? December, January February and even march outside is freezing in Toronto

Major League Soccer will play a condensed three-month season in 2027 before re-aligning its schedule with European circuits such as England's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, and Italy's Serie A ⚽️

@PSGINT_ If I were psg I would do the same. Only relevant team in the French league so why not

🚨Lens are "not totally closed" to the idea of having their game against PSG postponed, in order to aid the latter's preparations for their Champions League quarter-final tie against Liverpool

@objective_cfc This is beautifully put into perspective. I think the frustration comes from not seeing progress from last year

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

@AyaZd001 @premiurnvideos @TouchlineX @WeAreTheOverlap I wouldn’t call it horrible and boring but I wouldn’t call it the most iconic World Cup that’s for sure

@premiurnvideos @TouchlineX @WeAreTheOverlap Lol. I think we only consider it the best cos we are Africans. Not sure it met the standards of the europeans

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Wayne Rooney: "You are not getting a WORSE World Cup than South Africa in 2010. That tournament NEVER felt like a World Cup." — @WeAreTheOverlap

@1800ghostman Lmao

The NDP might become the official opposition if he keeps going at this pace

@CFCJnR I’ve seen baleba hooked at half time a lot of games this year. Not saying he’s not good but literally a typical Clearlake buy who wouldn’t add to what lavia, santos or caicedo have

Carlos Baleba and Morgan Rogers would add a huge component that is missing at Chelsea. Power and drive, physically takes the team to another level, proven Premier League talent. Unfortunately though we'd have to qualify for the Champions League, that's looking rough.

@BlueCoProject Give Enzo Fernandez Saliba and Gabriel too

Declan Rice and Enzo Fernandez cost about the same transfer fee: £106 million Declan Rice might win the Ballon D’Or this season. Enzo Fernandez might win an eating contest at Nandos this season. There are levels to this, and Chelsea fans need to stop lying to themselves.

Yesterday, Noa Lang on galatasary almost got his finger chopped off playing at anfield vs Liverpool. His finger got caught on the advertisement boards by the field. Honestly, how does that even happen? And what are Liverpool going to do to fix it?

Vegas is leaning on Chelsea to beat everton away. This game could be our Fulham moment. Liverpool going deep in CL distracts them more. Villa still in Europa league who’s to say they won’t throw all their eggs in that basket for CL? CL very possible. Thread coming up

@SirLeoBDasilva 😂, obi Mikel owned arsenal while he played

People are dragging Mikel Obi on twitter. His former team makes are dragging him. His new found broadcasting colleagues are dragging him. It’s a sad way to lose any ounce of respect you could possibly have from a career.

I remember with meresca we smashed this team

@StuartSherry I actually felt like that guy yesterday 😂

There’s a 50 year old Chelsea fan on Sky at the moment who’s actually crying! 🤷🏻‍♂️

If the squad is behind Liam I am too but only if this is true. Doesn’t mean I believe he’s the guy but you got my support of the boys support you. Not the board, F the board

Simon Jordan insinuating that Chelsea’s directors chosen by Eghbali and Boelhy may have had a strong hand in reducing Chelsea’s punishment. If so… well done @Dannythefink but still so much more work to do

Moises caicedo’s face when he received the instructions from Rosenior in the 83rd minute after being 8-2 down on aggregate against psg. Come on, Chelsea. We’re better than this

I can’t see Chelsea sacking Rosenior this season regardless of results. However, bar a FA cup finals win and CL qualification I don’t think he keeps his job. Even if it’s one of the two.However, I have no trust in Clearlake, Laurence or Winstanley picking the right man

Lmao this is historic for Sarr lmao

@EBL2017 I wish I had your hopium for Liam

Chelsea's squad is in a very special place and Liam Rosenior is a very exciting young coach. 8-2 is not a fair reflection of the PSG tie. No chance. Chelsea went toe-to-toe in the first leg and suffered injury-wise in the second game. This squad is only one/two players away…

@Chels_HQ @SkySports I literally just posted how these managerial changes don’t hit the same under Clearlake. O’hara is 100% right. We’re worse than Levy spurs era now

Jamie O'Hara: "Managers at #Chelsea used to have aura; Jose Mourinho, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Antonio Conte, Thomas Tuchel. We're talking about world-class managers with experience and an aura. I don't get the managers and players they're bringing in." (@SkySports)
