Darwin 11 shots. Chelsea 4. :joy::joy::joy:

Chelsea are in a terrible way,

You would say that they need more players but in many ways that’s the worst thing for them.

It’s hard to know the way forward for them. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Chelsea are an embarrassment

The Sauds will need to bail them out again

Thiago Silva seems a good lad, he should fuck off home to Brazil and see out his days

Even if you hate Liverpool it’d be hard not to smile at those Chelsea cunts’ demise.

Man united and Chelsea give the lie to money buys success. It almost has nothing to do with it now. It’s all about the managers really at a certain level.

“Every decision”

Yes and no. Ten Hag and Pochettino managed against each other in a Champions League semi-final less than five years ago, so they aren’t bad managers.

Different managers have different emotional tones and different managers suit different clubs. Personally I think Ten Hag and Pochettino are at the wrong clubs for their respective management styles. Ten Hag is too cold, too clinical, too passionless and too Dutch for Manchester United but that style would probably suit Chelsea more given that Chelsea is a passion free zone as a club. Pochettino is Mr. Passion, but you can’t be passionate at a club with no soul. I think he’d be a much better fit for Manchester United than Chelsea. His recent job decisions have been disastrous.

Klopp and Guardiola are clearly the best. But at the same time, the emotional tones they strike aren’t going to suit everywhere. Klopp is Shankly. That style suits Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Celtic, Napoli, Roma, Marseille. There wasn’t another club in the world which would have suited Klopp better than Liverpool, which would have perfectly matched his emotional tone and football ambitions in the same way.

Klopp’s style wouldn’t suit Chelsea or Real Madrid or Abu Dhabi.

Guardiola’s style didn’t suit Bayern Munich and their sense of what they are as a club. At Abu Dhabi, because the club has no history, he has no Uli Hoenesses or Franz Beckenbauers interfering. He is an absolute king. The only type of manager that works for Bayern Munich is ye olde quiet and dignified German football man. Jupp Heynckes and Ottmar Hitzfeld in other words.

Real Madrid have a particular style of manager they need. Del Bosque, Ancelotti, Zidane. A chilled out oul’ fella. Mourinho didn’t work with them. Too neurotic. Mourinho at Chelsea was perfect for them. He knew that a comic book villain persona was what Chelsea needed, that they could only develop a sense of themselves as a club through being supercunts. Conte was similar with them for a while.

Unai Emery at Aston Villa works, but it didn’t work at Arsenal. Emery is an excellent manager who isn’t cut out for an impatient club and fanbase. Fans turn on him too easily because they see him as sort of small time because of how he looks.

Kevin Keegan at Newcastle was a perfect mix of emotional tone and club.

Spurs’ best managers have been dreamers.

I have a half baked notion that the Dutch management style doesn’t suit English football in a general sense. Too diffident, too patrician, too awkward, too yeasssh? The Dutch don’t suit English speaking peoples in general. They suit Barcelona because Barcelona traditionally sees itself as a sort hub of cutting edge thought in the scientific and artistic fields and the Dutch with their neurotic and arrogant brains sort of fit into that. There’s a tremendous Dutchness about Guardiola.
