Aston Villa is a great example of a team that didn’t care ab possession last season. Poch wasn’t possession oriented, either.

[@SM-McKraken]

A counter attacking team sits back, allows the other team to have possession, playing defensively and positionally smart, while waiting for opportunities to break on the counter. Now you know another tactic other than possession football. 👍

Chelsea board is not being realistic. You can't change every single thing in a football club and expect results immediately. As long as they have that type of expectation, they will not have the patience required to build a team out of the mishmash they created.

[@InvaderZim742]

immediately? its been 2 years. This was always the plan.

[@EssyOnYT]

who said they expected results immediately tho?

[@showman1438]

This is the 5th coach in just about 2years. What other proof do you need to show they expect results immediately? Let’s even excuse the coaches with abysmal results (of which was the owners fault), what about Poch? By the way, the reporter made a statement about the expectations of the Chelsea board. Before which he said, “I don’t know if I should say this”. Why do you think he was reluctant?

You say all those involved in making this appointment are confident this is the right guy, but were they not the same people confident about Potter, Pouch , Lampard, and Tuchel so if they get this wrong I take they will walk along with Maresca , The owners have set him up to fail so they will need to look long and hard if he fails if they should not walk.

[@Kalpesh7221]

I am happy with the board on this. Realistically no top manger would like to be associated with Chelsea at this moment. Why? -This guy knows what it takes to win trophies, not always as the main man but as an assistant. -Got Leicester promoted. -Knows how to deal with players at the highest level. - Worked with Palmar, Sterling and Lavia - No ego, happy to work with a young and talented squad. - We needed a guy that is happy to be just a manager and not interfere with other aspects of the club. Suggestions - Keep Corner and Trevor - Get JT amongst the coaching staff we need a true blue in the set-up. I believe it's just a matter of time before this young and talented group of individuals starts fulfilling their full potential. Bleed 💙 💙

This repeated oversimplified comparison of Enzo with Arteta because of Pep is extremely unbelievable and disappointing (almost annoying). Arteta played for 11 years in the premier league, 5 of those at Arsenal, he even captained the club. He knew the club well and the club knew him well. Moreover, Enzo only spent one season as Pep’s assistant compared to Arteta’s 3. Wish him all the best though.
