Chelsea 3 Wolves 0 Verdict

[Jack Regan]

I remember when Doc's sister used to post on here, does FerLo have a sister too?

I think Celtiña is really just Kenny (I think it was Kenny) trying to relive his Scunforce glory days.

Better English than Kenny tbh

This season will be like a tombstone we have to carry round our necks for years to come.
We have 3 players you’d say yep they’re PL quality. Andre, J Gomes and Krejci the rest are championship/league 1 standard.
Having said that they aren’t creative game changers.
That defence I mean seriously all of them hopeless in their own ways. Just look at how passive they all are on each goal.
JSL is dining out on the fact that he had Cunha and RAN creating opportunities for him last season.
That forward line looked league 1 level, all proven by the amount of times we actually broke on the counter and it resulted in nothing.
JRB and Hwang in league 1 sides wouldn’t stand out they’d just slot in.
The fact that H Bueno has got so much game time is atrocious, terrible RB, doesn’t tackle or stop a cross and offers nowhere near enough in a forwards sense.
There’s nothing for Rob Edwards to work with.
I don’t see a win it’ll have to come by fluke so that in itself tells you just how low our points total will be.
These current custodians are completely humiliating the name of this club.

Im sorry, but i dont agree you...

Krejci played full season in spain, and i never understand because you guys payed that 30M for he... He have good feet to pass, but not is good defense. If you dont think that, go view the result of Girona last seasson.

The last seasson, i recomended a lot times one wing: El Hilali, and now Espanhol, in the 2º seasson on first division are 7º on the table. And now the Manchester United likes he.

Manchester United keeping tabs on Omar El Hilali

Manchester United are monitoring the progress of Omar El Hilali from Espanyol, and they could make their move in January.

About JSL, Ran and Cunha not played on Celta and he made goals, but need balls on area... without balls on area, no one score, all goals of chelsea are on the area.

 

[Loki]

Whipping boys of the league now. I fear years in the wilderness now, unless Fosun sells us.

 

[Jack Regan]

But back to the game, I'm not sure waiting for your opposition to score before trying to do something is really a gameplan any team should go into a match with.

It's even more baffling that when they do score you then do absolutely nothing to change it.

Admittedly we're shit, and its probably harsh, but kinda sums up why the guy is coaching under 23s I guess.

This was our League One team and shamefully I think plenty would get in the current XI (the 2013/14 versions obviously, although that said, I'd take current day Sako over Hwang or Bellegarde)

--------------------------Ikeme-----------------------

Ricketts----------Batth-------Stearman------Golbourne

------------------McDonald--------Price----------------------

---------Henry------------Jacobs----------Sako---------------

---------------------------Dicko-----------------------------------

Yes but at Celta hed have had other quality players providing for him

Golbourne and Ricketts would walk into this team. Way more creativity than we have now, and prime Dicko is better than JSL now.

Put that front 4 into tonight's team and I fancy we'd have given them a game tbh.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm having either CH (for all their flaws) over Santi fucking Bueno too. He is shocking.

 

[jd1981]

The more this goes on the more the spotlight goes onto Fosun and their incompetence.

Steady on! 2011/12 vintage Stearman? No thanks.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Stears could run! And he cared.

Don't get me wrong, I couldn't stand him for a lot of the time, especially in his hair stroking, chest beating Zenga/Lambert days. But it's Santi Bueno. A centre half who is somehow ridiculously meek but also gives away a crazy amount of cheap fouls, who can't jump, can't head, and is on the Lawrie Madden scale of pace.

 

[Celtiña]

Yes but at Celta hed have had other quality players providing for him

No, that seasson are bad, because Benitez use defensive tactics... and dont work on the team, are like the wolves of last seasson

Most of all goals are because he robed the ball, or find bounces... That seasson Aspas camp all time up, and Larsen play on 2º ST, and Aspas are trying score most goals posible to join in spanis squad to euro24... And dont pass many times to Larsen.

But the tactic defensive of Benitez are more ofensive tha this tactics of wolves, i never view one team more defensive of Wolves... Getafe is defensive, made a lot fauls, but not are all team on defense.

Dont worry, if tthe new manager use better the players, Larsen continue scoring,

2021 - 14 Goals Eurodivise
2022 - 5 Goals First seasson Celta.
2023 - 13 Goals on Celta second season
2024- 14 Goals on Wolves first season.

For me its a scorer

 

[The Saturday Boy]

Not even plucky. Just rolled over.

Johnstone is not a Premier League keeper.
Our wing backs are some levels below last season. And even more levels below competent.
Our defenders can’t defend.
Andre and Gomes, for all the love they get, are both very limited.
Hwang/Munetsi/Bellegarde…combine the best bits of all three and you would still end up with a shit player.
JSL is so average he gives average a bad name.

If we sold every single one of them in January, I wouldn’t miss any.

Our owners and their lackey are silent.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

31 goals conceded in 14 games in all competitions (3 conceded in each of the last three league games).

Just totally unsustainable and no in-house solution at all for another two months.

 

[Wolftone]

Not in the game. Never in the game. We sort of defended ok in the first half but that's as much down to how Maresca has an incredibly talented attacking unit underperforming. 1-0 and game over.

Pretty sure our record winless league run is in the mid 80s. As in the mid 1980s, not that we went 80+ games without a win (although you never know). We could beat it. How are we going to win a game, how are we even planning to score a goal other than the ball randomly breaking to us in the box?

Dismal stuff.

Johnstone: Made some routine saves in the first half which is better than his direct competitor who makes no saves. But he isn't very good. There are 10+ keepers in the Championship who are comfortably better and none of them cost £10m when they were already past 30.

Tchatchoua: Can't really defend, can't really attack, can't link play like a modern full back should. In fact I'm told he's really fast but I'm not sure he is! Looks quite a lot slower than Semedo to me.

S Bueno: Embarrassingly slow. I'm not even messing when I say I'd outpace him. I'm 45 soon.

Toti: Nice "after you, Claude" moment with Johnstone on the opener. A trier, but not good enough.

H Bueno: Do you reckon he'll have stopped a cross before he turns 30? Appalling defender and while he gets forward, nothing ever comes of it. A left sided Zubar in that respect.

André/J Gomes/Krejci: Lumping them altogether as they were all there purely to provide a wall in front of our shitty defence. Which they did for a bit and then they didn't, and they offer nothing in an attacking sense.

Bellegarde: Please go away. You don't score, you don't create, you don't defend, what actually are you?

Hwang: A very poor footballer who had a weird purple patch and our idiot chairman will wait for that to repeat itself (it won't) until his contract eventually expires.

Strand Larsen: Crap, as he has been all season. Why is Tolu getting NO minutes when he plays like that FFS?

I have no idea when or how this changes.

Fairly accurate summation that.
I'd post my changes but what's the point?
Im not managing Wolves

 

[White Wolf]

Squad is just shit, not fixable without a lot of new players. Quite apathetic about this one, a lot of those blokes are so bad and have no business being in this division. I feel sorry for some of them as they're so out of place, abysmal recruitment has finally bit us on the arse. I thought worrying about Derby's record was over-the-top pant-wetting from JD originally but yeah, we are at pretty serious risk of doing worse now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It is a pretty sobering season when you have only just put the bonfire out and the only tension left is whether we can beat the total of that fucking rancid Derby side.
