Premier League 2020-2021

That Fodeh finish was excellent, made all the better by the fact that he almost expected the nutmeg.

Frank Lampard may have got 10 A’s in his GCSE’s but he’s making very little progress with this Chelsea team. Very few excuses after the massive summer recruitment drive. As @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy noted he is their worst manager since Avram Grant.

‘what do Chelsea need to do to turn this around?’ Keano : ‘they need a miracle’ , ‘they dont look like they’re up for it’
Sounds like the kind of analysis lottie Ryan would provide if she was chatting to the fella reading the sports headlines on 2fm

Did Liverpool dodge a bullet not signing Timo Werner or is it just that he’s playing under a really shit manager?

Strange comment. Avram Grant took over a Chelsea side that were 11th in the league in September 2007. He guided them to a 2nd place finish that season, losing just 1 of their last 30 league games and they finished just 2 points behind a Man U side, that some of the Man U supporters here claim is the very best in the EPL era.

Grant also masterminded a Chelsea run to a first European Cup final, which ultimately ended in stalemate. Only missed out on bringing the Cup home in the lottery.

After accomplishing all that in just 8 months, he was very harshly sacked.

He lost a cup final to perennial bottlers too. Given his heritage perhaps it was intentional

Well least qualified maybe (based on previous managerial exploits). He’d managed Maccabi Haifa maybe? To be fair Avram Grant had them tipping along very nicely and was unlucky to lose out narrowly to Man Utd in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Grant made a far better attempt at managing Chelsea than Big Phil Scolari (World Cup winner).

Only an anti-semite would baulk at this PPG record

He’s in good company there with the recently deceased Tommy Docherty.

He has an IQ of 150. Which is probably a disadvantage when communicating with footballers

Klopp and Pep Lijnders broke him. Pep was lepping like Fraggy Murphy after Trent fired in a disputed free kick.
