Chelsea Manager Sackings Thread

[Rafael]

The only time an European team clearly dominated the game was last year when Barcelona thrashed Santos 4-0. Before RDM was sacked, I expected the same this year, but now things can get even.

[Colly]

Yeah if it weren't in December just three days after a Premier League game (most of which time will be spent recovering from jet lag...), I would be able to appreciate it fully without the bit of resentment I otherwise feel.

But hey - it'll be fun!

Shouldn't win things if you don't want the rewards. Let someone else have it.

Like those teams that qualify for the Europa League then piss it all away with weak-ass teams, you mean?

No, not Liverpool.

[Gazz]

Liverpool's team has been near fullstrength, it's not their fault they're shit.

Carragher was playing, nowhere near full strength.

[EddieG]

2012 full strength? Yes, he has.

[Pesci]

I think Eddie's misunderstood

The majority of games we haven't been full strength, no. But we have a majorly thin squad so of course there will be some games where a bunch of key players had to play.

[EddieG]

Missed the comma.

[Colly]

Newcastle on the other hand were cruising with our second team, before dropping to second when playing our best team. Granted our best team is every player we've actually got available, but still.

Was that the year the press kept showing shots of Gary Neville and Beckham playing volleyball on the beach?

They fucked that one up didn't they? Pretty sure one of the Brazilian sides won it. Nah, I meant the 2008 one.

Was that the one where in the final they defeated what amounted to literally the 6th best team in Ecuador? What a grand tournament it is.

[stokeriño]

Nothing wrong with 6th-best-teams-in-countries duking it out to be named champion of the world...

[gunnar hendershow]

I like the idea of the Club World Cup but its application is really poor. Maybe one day the other continents will catch up and it will be played at a better time of the year (if they can find one).

No, that's the one where they lost to Vasco 3-1.

Downing plays. This is clear indication of how team selections have gone.

[Nerf]

Do people actually watch the games they criticize Liverpool for? Our Europa League squad has mostly consisted of Carragher, Coates, Downing, Cole, Assaidi, Shelvey and Henderson, with Suarez, Gerrard and Sterling on the bench in case of emergencies.

I'd rather watch Middlesborough.

[EddieG]

So would we.
