Both Matheus Fernandes and Tonali would’ve made our midfield elite with Caicedo. They were unplayable yesterday, so fucking good.
The night Mateus Fernandes finally came of age in a Spurs shirt: Talented £85m star shone in Chelsea win as he showed Roberto De Zerbi what he is made of after tough start to Tottenham career, writes MATT BARLOW trib.al/EHrgS5d
Cole might actually be thick, I don’t even think it’s an act anymore
🚨 Palmer will serve his ban against Liverpool and return for Manchester Utd next Saturday. (@kierangill_DM)
⚠️ Likely no Joao Pedro on Wednesday either against Liverpool.
Facts. Never claimed to know much about him as a coach other than his Bundesliga win and decent win rate at Real Madrid.
I was expecting a superstar personality, for someone that’s won everything as a player and been coached by some of the very best.
Instead we got…this.
Alonso’s lost to Spurs TWICE as Chelsea manager. If that’s not sackable then I truly don’t know what is
We have a standing example right in front of us in Manchester United. Do not follow your heart, go with your head. Go with proven success. Go with people that live football at the top level and standards through the roof. Stop with the philosophy boys - Its FAILED. Xabi’s FAILED.
This is the standard. Beating Spurs at home should be about pride. You get it done even if you’re at your worst. Alonso’s team selection and in game management was amateur, nowhere near what was required.
Spurs have had their worst start in 18 years, to provide some context.
The only reason it was worth giving Alonso a chance was because he won the Bundesliga.
Other than that one season, I don’t think anyone can genuinely tell you a thing about his style or philosophy as a coach. That’s alarming.
Just bring Antonio Conte in and restore some fucking pride in this club. The standards right now are embarrassing.
Alonso’s a coward and his tactics are cowardly. We need a REAL manager. Not a hipster. This squad is good enough, the coaches that have been brought in are not.
Actually disgraceful. He had the whole fanbase behind him and his work has been nothing but lazy. Whole preseason and two international breaks. His work reflects laziness and ‘don’t care’ attitude. No pride whatsoever.
For £200m every window, I’m expecting results, or at very least visible progress.
Alonso has had an entire preseason AND two International breaks. He still can’t figure out how to improve the defence or keep the ball.
If we’re going by Chelsea standards, he must face the sack.
Still absolutely fuming about Alonso’s approach to the game yesterday. Not starting Welbeck and Lavia was criminal.
We couldn’t string 3 passes together, we resorted to hoofing the ball and letting a De Zerbi side keep the ball. Amateur hour from Xabi. He has to go.
“The Chelsea you see now and in May will be very different”
Yeah we’ll be fighting relegation under you you fucking Scouse prick
Watched a proper gaffer like Emery beat Man City earlier. Compare that Villa performance to this piece of shit our hipster cunt of a coach just put on.
Other than individual brilliance from our front 3, what the FUCK has Alonso coached this season?
No progress
No tactics
No vision
XABI ALONSO OUT
