This is not a reaction to last night's result. In fact, I was not remotely surprised by it.
I know "It's only pre-season." I know it's not about the results. But something in that Summer of 15/16 did not feel right and I've been getting that same feeling again this Summer.
We have been spoilt. And trophies aren't the required thing for me. But I do expect to see certain things.......
Players trying.
Players looking almost ready for a season that's not that far away.
And some sort of clue that the players are buying into what their manager expects/wants of them.
If he's still unemployed by Christmas/end of World Cup, I can honestly see Pochettino being seriously linked with replacing Tuchel.
And before you fully dismiss the idea, did you honestly think Jose's last title winning team was going to fall so far away from the top 4 in 15/16?
This is not reactionary. And if need be, Brummie, who follows me on another social media platform can verify my 15/16 comparison, before this morning.
The warning signs were there in 15/16 and it feels very similar now.
Feels a lot like 15/16 pre-season.....

I’ve been saying to your mob, you need a striker and your defensive purchases have been meh.
That CL win is papering over a lot cracks for Tuchel - I mean it wasn’t really his side that won it anyway.
Yes it’s just a friendly, but you got pumped 4-0 by a lite weight Arsenal side

Chelsea are often the one PL club who can appear meh but often end up being there or there abouts for a trophy or two at the end of the season. I'm sure it'll be the same again next April even if appearing ordinary right now

As soon as Chilwell is back you will look world class.

As soon as Chelsea realise there may be issues they try and do something about it.

What you say about Chelsea is completely irrelevant as you’ve proven multiple times you’re nothing but an obsessive, bitter cretin.
Hope this helps
