Courtois looked anything but world class today, getting nutmeged twice. That said, our inability to score made that woeful display of goalkeeping somewhat a moot point.

This will likely be a difficult few months of watching Blues football.

Yea scariest part is that might be our last CL game for a while unless we can pull off something crazy down the stretch.

Yea it's hard to project without knowing who the new manager is going to be, assuming it's not Conte, but there are several players who don't fit into any system for a team with high aspirations.

Hopefully we could use the money from a potential Courtois/Hazard sell to get that dynamic central midfielder and a quality wide player.

We need to get what we can for the Drinkwater's/Barkley's and just pretend that never happened.

How has Loftus-Cheek looked on his loan spell?

Pretty well from what i lve been seeing. I do remember seeing him play closer to goal as a withdrawn ST, or even on the wing tucking in. Palace started him in midfield but slowly moved him up.

I dont think hes gonna he the midfielder we all think he should be, but could still be a quality player if his position gets ironed out.

Kennedy is on loan and he has been playing really well.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

Nice win over Leicester City. Also, a big thanks should go to Petr Cech and Zola for "picking" the FA Cup semi-final draw with Southampton. :-)

I obviously want him to stay but would be interested to see how he would do there.

He's so good when he wants to be but has way too many spells of meh. Though they keep trotting out Benzema so obviously that's not something they are opposed to.

i think Conte quit after the mini-revolt following the City match. there was some reports that he had asked the team how theyd rather play in the aftermath, which i thought sounded reasonable and like a manager willing to listen.

but now i think it just means he said "frick this, yall do what you want. im outta here soon anyway."

I’m broken. Hopefully I’m being overly dramatic but I don’t see a solution to our issues that doesn’t involve a major overhaul and at least 2-3 seasons of hoping for top 4 at best. Even worse I'm not sure Roman has the desire or means to really see it through.

Nah, i think youre spot on.

Either we overpay for a quick influx of players in their prime, or the board gets a cohesive plan on place and hires a manager that matched that vision.

I dont see either one happening smoothly.

Only hope for next year is that arsenal dont change managers and Poch leaves along with one of kane, dele, and erikson. Maybe salah goes to barca. 3rd yr Mou ruins ManU.

Then we back in this shite!
