What ?

You think Bielsa isn't partially responsible for signing Firpo and Rodrigo?

If that's the case you don't understand "Bert" at all.

Perhaps your hero should've let us make some signings in January then!

Get a grip Cjay, you're losing the plot, please be honest.

Well let's just hope some have noticed how bad we are when we have injuries and have to put square pegs into round holes huh.

Like a lot of teams that struggle when they lose their best, and you can't expect a 40 man squad and Premier players without an oil rich mother, and a Clown that shops at lidl, back to the drawing board.

And maybe back to the Championship to start it allover again :roll:

God bless em Bert, they know not what they did.

A years salary down the drain.

Well that's why you improve the depth Kenneth. If you run a PL club like a Championship one, you won't succeed!

FFS Kenny - this is the here and now -Stop making pointless comparisons.
If you want nostalgia watch LUFC they have extended highlights of all the games from the 18/19 season.

The best players usually get snapped up by the best teams and we're left with the dregs to work with, you have to find em like Raph, did Bert find him or the Clown ?

I'd suggest it was one of the Clowns lucky spins.

Got lucky with Raph, due to the French tv deal falling through. The PL signings have been pretty dreadful otherwise.

What if they look like they'll never learn, what dya do then ?
Will it all click into place after 2 months ?
Are you asking how come after almost 4 years of Bielsa we still couldn't defend worth a sh*t?
Or are you saying Jesse should have done something in a very short period of time that Bielsa couldn't do in 4 years?

You need to give it up and move on from Bielsa.
It was mildly amusing at the beginning but you are now just repetitive and boring.

Pointless ? I'd say they're proving a point.

We are fcked because he built a team around mainly those 3 ( there are more), and we are now fcked coz they sacked him.

And please don't tell me he shouldn't have built his team around them, every manager builds teams around their strongest players.

What do you want me to say from now on ? Because it won't make the results improve.

Right anyway here's to Chelsea, you're getting all angry at what i knew would happen, and it's not my fault, i just saw it coming, don't shoot the messenger.

Pep has said that it wasn't a 4-0 game and the result looked more comfortable than it was.

Felt like it was a better performance than Palace, but hey, they are Man City!
