    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Never mind a pre-season, we've got a "post-season" to get through first. I just can't make myself care about this trip to Australia, and that's just watching it. I can't imagine how unbothered the players are, especially if the season ends on a disappointing note.

    2023/24 Champions League

    That and a particularly bad quarter finals showing. To have 5 clubs go into the stage across all 3 competitions and only 1 progress (in the naffest of the competitions) is shameful, considering how mighty the Premier League thinks it is.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I think the feeling is made worse because we started so well and the expectation (or mine, certainly) was that we would get Micky and Maddison back in January and everything would just click again (or, if not then, after AFCON and The Asian Cup) and it... just didn't happen and still hasn't...

    Player Watch - Djed Spence - Genoa

    Nice goal for Gudmundsson to make it 3 as well. He's so good he even played a 1-2 off of one of the Cagliari defenders.

    Team for Chelsea

    If Davies is out (he had to come off after the Rice kick), I guess... Emerson at left back?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I largely agree with everything else you said but the issues with the corner defending are being repeated because it keeps happening and no improvement has been seen. This is what he said at the start of March when he was asked directly about it: If it had been addressed since then, we'd...
