Injured, think he's out for another 2-3 weeks.Where is Dias?
Been rumours the board were going to see how this game and the next go in terms of results.
Where is Dias?
They are 10th right now, doubt they can be patient much longer.Would be rather pointless after giving him assurance they would be patient with him.
I also thought they looked rather resilient today without being overly threatening in attack. Two injuries in the first 20 minutes never help either.
What's Cancelo done to piss Pep off? Thought he looked ok first half.
Ooooft
Ake has been very good on the left this season. Cancelo has been below par.I did too but it seems it was tactical. In the post match interview Pep was saying when he made the subs at half time he had planned to also bring Grealish and Mahrez on a little later. So effectively he swapped Cancelo for a genuine winger and Walker for Lewis who slotted more into midfield. I'm not sure why he's not playing Cancelo at roving LB which is his best position. Pep seems to love Lewis though. Said he makes good decisions and makes the players around him play better.

Didn't they do the same to tuchel? giving him assurance then kicking him out the door?
The young kids did for sure.
From memory when the new owners came in that is what was said or along those lines.Why not? They said they would stick with him even if they missed CL, what's changed?
Did they? Not that I recall but you seem to have a better memory than me.

Tuchel got sacked or moved on as he wasn't interested in working with the committee so to speak(Technical Director, data based scouts etc). In hindsight it should have been done from the start and Potter could have had a preseason and a transfer window so he could hit the ground running instead of playing catch up.
It's a common theme with Tuchel. Great cup manager but doesn't get along with those above him.
Wasn't it as well a case of the board signing players that Tuchel didn't want or ask for?Tuchel got sacked or moved on as he wasn't interested in working with the committee so to speak(Technical Director, data based scouts etc).

Granovskaia and Cech were meant to hang around for that first window(to guide Boehly), but once Lukuka weas loaned(who they wanted to keep) they bailed. He was always headed towards a committee moving forward, we just didn't have time. We are still going to bring a Sporting Director to oversea to whole project(Edwards is who they want).Surely given how much Boehly spent and who he bought this model of his that he seems to want to follow wasn't in his thoughts when he first bought the club.
This committee idea seems to have come after he realised he didn't have a clue what he was doing in that space.

Tuchel wasn't really interested so thats why I say we should have pulled the trigger earlier.Wasn't it as well a case of the board signing players that Tuchel didn't want or ask for?
But Boehly just looks like another Abarmovich in the making.
I mean Chelsea are 10th another loss could put them in the bottom half way through the season doubt any owner with a club size like chelsea would be happy but I wouldn't be surprised if Boehly panicked and sacked Potter if say lose again to city in the FA cup and for arguement sake losses to Fulham and CPFC.
He was on a good scoring run at Barca too wasn't he? Was he pushed out of Barca or did they sell as a lever because they still need cash badly?Also, how bloody bad is Auba? Glad we turfed him when we did.
The #9 curse continues.
Again, your memory must be a lot better than mine as I don't remember anything of the sort.
Also curious about where your memory of Potter's job being on the line in these next few games came from? I can't see anything about it.
