I would suggest that they do.

Maresca can be brilliant, but he can also dick things up.

Lastly, the club is dysfunctional with the ownership structure.

I am sure that he is frustrated with the fractured structure.

I would imagine that there is a lot going on behind the scenes.

Just woke up and down 2-0 in first 20 mins. At least put up a damn fight.

Totally disinterested. Getting beat to every ball. Lazy passing. We rested everyone against Cardiff for this effort?

I watched it and the magpies did what they usually do

get in your face, jump out and then fade in the 2nd half

maresca lit a fire under the blues at the half

it will be challenging to seriously contend for hardware with the CFC center back position the way that it is.

Hard to complain about stealing a point at Newcastle, particularly after the awful start. Got a real striker’s goal out of JP.

Nacho feels like another Murdryk.

I think that he plays pretty well.

Then again, I also like what Mudryk brought to the table towards the end (he didn’t play long with Enzo, but seemed to be finding his form).

Their runs were / are excellent.

Mudryk was better at tracking.

Otherwise, I’m fine with what I see / saw.

Merry Christmas, fans of the World Champions!

Arsenal in Carabao semis. Gonna be interesting to see how Enzo plays this with both home and away matches. And fighting for a top 4 spot plus Champions League matches. Helluva lot of futbol in Jan and Feb will test our depth. Will we add pieces in Jan window?

Well we decided to largely take off the month of December so we should be well rested.

Cole and Delap back from injury. Ciacedo back from suspension. No one in AFCON. There is reason for optimism. Villa is a huge game. COYB.

this is the problem with missing chances and not converting, CFC dominates TOP and should have been up 2-0 or 3-0 at half

instead AVL hangs around and now we are down and about to lose at home in a match we should have cruised

the defense was fine today, it was finishing that cost us

villa struggled with the press in the 1st half and we had numerous chances to build a lead and didnt

this is a really bad loss because Villa was beatable and we were at home

this chelsea squad needs to be mentally tougher and it starts with maresca

An absolutely back-breaking defeat to end the year. It will likely be a struggle to finish in the Top 4 at this point. Oh well...
