Did so poorly last season, I need to come back here to defend my honor, even if it means putting THEM at #1 (I'm ashamed)
Won't be active on here anymore, because this social media app is incredibly dead. Shoutout to everyone I interacted with in here, whether it was arguing about Maresca or something else, it was fun. Goodbye and Clearlake Out.

The quality of our wingers and CBs is obviously not good, but we still shouldn't be getting dominated by Brentford
Its so obvious they need a level raiser near them to protect them, they are just nowhere near good enough
Tosin and Chalobah are midtable level CBs. We will never challenge for anything important with a team assembled like this
Man if only there was someone at the club (like a manager) telling you we need a CB at the beginning of the season...
One more thing is that this squad just doesn't fit Rosenior's style of play in multiple positions. He needs technical players, comfortable to play through pressure even if they lose the ball sometimes. Maresca decided to go long more often for a reason
What I disliked most about yesterday's game was our defence. The structure was just nowhere to be seen - it was mostly improvisational and in the moment. Zubimendi's goal is the biggest example of the calamity structure wise
I think the root of most negative human actions is the inability to hold yourself accountable and choosing the easy, most comfortable way. After that you deflect onto others and find justifications for your actions to still be able to accept yourself. Having a set of rules/morals you abide is key.
Wow Glasner ball against low blocks is horrid. 72% possession and 1 big chance all game apparently. He should stay at Palace, no big club in England will appoint him
As fun as it sounds to play Palmer CAM and Estevao RW, its very hard to justify it off the ball. The only way I see it working is with a CDM pivot of James/Santos/Lavia + Caicedo with Gusto/James* overlapping and protecting transitions. * not sure if James can handle it physically
Liam Rosenior is a really good speaker, I expect us to bounce back, score some goals and have some success early on. I'm still worried about him tactically as I don't think he is an upgrade on Maresca at all in that sense, but hopefully I'm wrong.
Almost every anime just uses 'the cute girl' as the metaphor for whatever and whatever relationship the main character has with her as another one. Its so cheap and it ruins any meaning it had for me. Even the best anime series usually use this to some degree
People derive identity from struggle, thats why being born rich/comfortable will always be undesireable and uncool. Same way, living with high comfort is extremely degrading to your brain
Came into the club, made us stop conceding record amount of goals, taught us positional football, qualified for the UCL after years of nothing, won the UECL, won the Club World Cup, embarrassed the biggest clubs and coaches in the world... Thank you for everything, Enzo Maresca.
Probably the happiest I've ever been was when as a child, I watched Chelsea lift the UCL for the first time with my favourite footballer Didier Drogba scoring the equalizer and the winning penalty. Seeing what the new ownership is doing with the club I care about is honestly depressing.
I'm really disappointed in The Last Of Us and Fallout shows. Its interesting to see how easy it is to turn a masterpiece from one medium to slop in another one. I don't even want to mention the Resident Evil thing they tried aswell...
We had a window to make up more ground on City/Arsenal/Liverpool. Instead we let Villa overtake us and lost more ground to them. Don't let the 2 trophies fool you, we are becoming Tottenham
All the work we did last season is gone. We are not much better than Tottenham/Man Utd
Too bad defensively and thin in midfield to play like we did in 1st half. Too many not good enough attacking players to rely on in the 2nd half to win it.
Very good 2nd half. If you can't score a goal after 45+ mins of full attack, there is not much to say.
