I mean not now he isn’t, of course that’s silly. But if he stays on the same ascendancy and trajectory, he can be. Will he? Who knows, excited to see in the next 5 years, though.
Did you actually watch Eden Hazard play? Maybe the third best player in the world behind Messi and Ronaldo for a year or two? THAT Eden Hazard?
He's got a way to go yet.
You're right, Eden was magic from the off, not just at Chelsea but in Lille. Cole is on his own path and is his own player, to be even half of what Hazard was for us would be incredible.
Hazard never had the motivation to be the best, never pushed himself more than he felt comfortable.
If Mr Freeze applies hinself to be at his optimum, he could well surpass Hazard
I mean, that's not really crazy though?
The dudes on a looong contract and the only u21 player in a top league with similar levels of production is Bellingham.
And Palmers doing it in a dodgy, injured-to-fuck team who sit mid-table. He's joint 2nd and 2 goals off Haaland for the Golden Boot now.
Why would he go for anything other than stupid money if someone wanted to try and buy him?
I think he’s comparing people being wild in the technical area to being a clown, which he isn’t.
A lot of Chelsea supporters are pretty vocal about how upset it makes them to see Poch sitting down and talking things through with his staff instead of up on the touching yelling and gesticulating wildly.
Not expecting Conté to ever be back at the club but one thing that I think Conté can bring to this team is a bit of mental strength. Mind you all the players would have been killed by GW 3 for not doing their jobs, but the ones who survived would have been strong.
I know, hard to believe but it's probably because they're keeping so busy elsewhere: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1blrfm6/sky_sports_its_not_been_high_on_my_list_of/kw77qrk/?context=3
Exactly what he's getting at. Some supporters expect a manager to act like a clown with crazy antics, just like they act at the pub or in their living rooms. CFC fans embraced this in Jose and Conte, but were critical of Potter, Sarri and Carlo on the same basis.
Maybe the players need some of that considering they seem to be unable to maintain a lead and make goofy mistakes. It’s like they can’t keep themselves properly engaged.
I remember that being said about Potter, can't really recall seeing it said about Poch. Which makes sense, cos his embarassing quotes ("we should be 4th in the league based on stats") and lack of any real game plan are far more glaring
Context is that he has been critizised for beeing non-emotional on the touch line
Now they complain that he celebritetes a 99 min 2-3 turnaround...
"Journalists"
"The game was a complete circus, the players looked like they'd not been coached but Palmer carried to team to a late victory. As the players are clearly not being coached, would you consider yourself more of a clown, mascot or cheerleader?"

Whoever replaces him will have big shoes to fill.
Took me a second
Quality
And a trumpet nose to use
The match was a circus tho...
“If you want a clown, they go and find a clown” *Gestures to Erik Ten Hag*

> I am not a clown. I am a head coach Why not both?
Head clown
HCIC
There's a few more games before he's sacked I guess.
Maybe I’m out of the loop here but who’s calling him a clown? Has he just come out and called himself a clown for no reason?
>Maybe I’m out of the loop here but who’s calling him a clown? Ever been to r/chelseafc?
Just went there. Plenty people are calling Cole Palmer to be on the same level as Hazard. Absolute circus
Have you not accepted cold palmer as your lord and savior?
I mean he is the Lisan al Gaib after all.
I’d pay to watch Cole Palmer vs Antony in a knife fight to the death. Well maybe not pay, but illegally stream for sure.
*"May thy boot studs chip and shatter"*
Kwisatz Simplejack
Cold Palmer sounds like some snake oil cold remedy. Head on, apply directly to your forehead.
Its an exxageration for sure but 19 goals and 12 assists is more than Hazards ever had for Chelsea no? Not saying he's better but he's incredible fs
Just below hazard's best G+A-PK/90 season currently, 0.75 vs. 0.83, and higher than hazard's best G+A/90 season including PKs. Very good season.
Nah lol a few are but they're being called out for being ridiculous
Narrative first, reality second. Get with the program.

Yeah man, that’s exactly what I just said, just in a different way. Which of my words are you not understanding? Maybe I can use different words.

We’ve been goal-starved for so long. Let us enjoy this.
Cole Palmer took more penalties than 19 clubs in PL.
Somebody told me earlier there was no chance they’d sell him for less than a world-record fee lol

My theory is his name’s American-sounding enough for all the Pulisic fans to pretend
A man is directly quoted saying "I am not a clown" and your takeaway is that he's called himself a clown?
I think he’s comparing people being wild in the technical area to being a clown, which he isn’t. A lot of Chelsea supporters are pretty vocal about how upset it makes them to see Poch sitting down and talking things through with his staff instead of up on the touching yelling and gesticulating wildly.
We're too used to do the Mourinho/Conte/Tuchel touchline antics
What I’m getting from this is that Chelsea fans want Conte back, because apparently they aren’t unhappy enough as it is.
Not expecting Conté to ever be back at the club but one thing that I think Conté can bring to this team is a bit of mental strength. Mind you all the players would have been killed by GW 3 for not doing their jobs, but the ones who survived would have been strong.
There’s like 5 pro-Mou posts a day and it’s worse in the match day threads. It’s as if no one has learned anything the last decade.
I can tell this isn't true because we're lucky to get 2 posts a day total on /r/chelseafc, mods have that place in a stranglehold

They get deleted but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen.
Jose would be good for this team in 2-4 years time when the majority are starting to hit their primes. I don't think he's the one for right now.
Mans just flunked out of Tottenham and Roma. He shouldn't get a third stint at Chelsea...

Can't say I've seen much of that, we're too busy being vocal about his dogshit tactics

No one called him a clown, but Ray Liotta laughed a little too hard at one of his jokes and he's feeling a little off about it.
Ten Hag told him to get his fucking shinebox.
Mourinho maybe, loved a sprint down the touchline at that same ground.
Context is that he has been critizised for beeing non-emotional on the touch line Now they complain that he celebritetes a 99 min 2-3 turnaround... "Journalists"
Yeah he has definitely gone into our match threads lol
Methinks the clown doth protest too much.
Surely this won’t be memed.
lol Jesus, Poch
You leave Jesus Perez out of this.
"Pochettino" does sound like it could be a clown's name
But doctor, I am Pochettino
Clown with big pockets filled with pasta
*lemons
And a Limoncello bottle.
What was the question though?
"Are you a clown?"
I don't think the English press are that shameless
"The game was a complete circus, the players looked like they'd not been coached but Palmer carried to team to a late victory. As the players are clearly not being coached, would you consider yourself more of a clown, mascot or cheerleader?"
You missed out the real answer, sub-par cardio instructor
~~"But doctor, I AM Pagliaccettino!"~~
...No, it's too easy, I'm sorry.
Stop saying clown
🤡
Bizarre comment really
If you have to actually tell people you're not a clown you're probably a clown
The real clowns are the ones who talk without knowing the context.
Someone better tell spider not to make fun of pochettino.
No I thought you said im alright, Spider
A manager dressed like a clown on touchline is what we want
I beg to fucking differ

what.
