I was happy when we avoided Man City for the FA Cup. But looking at our dire form, I think Leeds would beat us quite easily like Brighton in midweek. And they got decent results against us in the league too. The FA Cup is our last hope for a bit of joy this season. But I am not optimistic at all.
The good news is Rosenior is out. It’s clear to me that the players did not want to play for him anymore. I feel for the man though. He seems to be a good man. And a keen learner. However he was not ready to take over Chelsea, at all. He was out of his depth. This team won Clubs World Cup last summer. Enzo Fernandes is a World Cup winner. Cucurella is a Spain international. And he picked a fight against those two. I understood he wanted his authority but the match against City was too important for Enzo to miss out.
My feeling is that BlueCo will go for Iraola. He works wonder at Bournemouth. He never complains about his squad and seems to be able to maximize players at his disposal despite heavy departures season after season. (Huijsen, Kerkez etc).
Ed, I still don’t think Jose Mourinho or Conte should come back. They will cause too much chaos. But Ancelotti, he is free after the World Cup and I think he is a really intelligent manager. I would love to have him back at Chelsea.
