these are the same pundits criticizing him last season yet they are not pleased Chelsea want to move him on. They complain about the club having too much players but when they put someone up for sale, it's another problem. Comedians
@@uzzy1 soccer fan spotted, as a football fan I will tell you before Ranieri coached Leicester he previously coached teams like Napoli,Inter Milan,Valencia,Fiorentina,As Monaco,Juventus,Chelsea so he was a top coach it just that you didn't know him
I like how they spent half the show saying chelsea are stupid for trying to get Sterling off their books, and the second half of the show explaining exactly why chelsea need to get sterling off their books. 🤯
I wish people would report this accurately. It's closer to 6 senior aged players, and around 8-10 U21and academy players bought for youth teams. It's NOT 21 players on 7 year contracts all of Raheem Sterling's calibre.. Petrovic, Kepa, Lukaku, Sterling, Chilwell, Challobah are the seniors. There's no shock departures in that group apart from the recent addition of Sterling and Chilwell who Enzo spent 5 weeks assessing..All were told in July when he arrived (with the exception of Sterling until last week because they signed JoaoFelix who's on half his wages and 5 years younger, and more tactically flexible) that they weren't in the managers plans for a variety of reasons. Some the board want to sell for pure profit like Broja and Chalobah, and Chelsea said some are "tactically obsolete" meaning can't play in Enzo system. For example Chilwell is a wingback and not a fullback. He can't play inverted fullback same as Walker at City, as he stays out wide like a winger, and Petrovic isn't good enough to play with his feet, and be a keeper who is also a 3rd centre back. Kellyman, Chukwumeka, Casedei, Datro Fofana, Angelo, Washington who were bought as youth players for the future, and then the academy players like Matos, Anjorin, Humphreys, George are some of the academy youth players who won't be in the premier league squad and will be loaned out or played in youth teams, just like every other big premier league club. Broja just signed for Everton, Humphreys is going to Burnley, Uguchukwu just signed for Southampton, Chukwumeka is targeted by Palace to replace Olise, Casedei and Lukaku are due to be part of the Osimhen deal to Napoli and some will end up on loan. There won't be 21 players moaning players in September when the window closes. Maybe 3 who rejoin the main squad or youth squads depending on Enzo. This media circus from MOTD, Talksport, Sky Sports and the rest have not painted an accurate picture of Chelsea at all. It wouldn't be that different if you added in the youth and reserve teams at City or Utd or Arsenal, but because Chelsea sign 6 players for the future and 6 for the first team they say we have 45 players on 7 year deals. It's lazy journalism and punditry.
Chukwemeka,Casadei and Datro Fofana aren’t academy players anymore. They’ve played grown men football for years now. Doesn’t matter what they were bought for but what status they have now. Would you say Mainoo is an academy player then?? He’s still younger than most academy players but he’s played first team football for 6 months now you can’t say he’s youth/academy player. You can’t compare Datro Fofana to some academy player at Liverpool.
sterling and mudryk came with big money, difference is sterling have huge salary, getting rid of him is consistent with their policy, where else gallagher is not enzo's type of player, thats all
Why? I remember Chelsea fans being very frustrated with Sterling's output and there were conspiracy theories about why a mid player like Gallagher getr to start every game.
@@tnix80 based on what evidence? He's been at Chelsea for over 18 months and hasn't improved. Mudryk is terrible. Did you see his passes and shots yesterday? That's why he has the 2nd lowest rating after Badi.

Sterling can quite literally be solely accused for Chelsea not making top 4. Not in that you can blame every player for not being good enough, but there is real tangible evidence that he sabotaged our campaign. A grown man of 29, making over £300,000 a week, knows what it takes to win games, CHOSE not to square the ball for a blatantly free, unmissable goal. Not once, not twice. Not thrice. FOUR times. All in games we would go on to drop points in. 3 points is what we needed for this entire fiercely casual and horrid outlook to change. He deserves no sympathy. It’s he who is making it an issue, when every other player that was dealt the same fate took it in stride (with exception of Lukaku 😂). Also don’t know if anyone else notices but Sterling must be paying his agent a fortune with that guy’s workrate. Always been like that too.
@@Dbo_Sports You have a reading deficiency. As I said, I can’t blame a player for not being good enough in certain aspects. What I can blame them for is selfishness and arrogance. Sterling displayed those in abundance while also being bad. He thought only of himself and how he needed to get back in the England team for his image.

Exactly! Many clubs have 2-4 guys on the side who are waiting to be sold. Ex: Juve, Napoli, Barca, United, PSG. This is the transfer window, it's normal. The rest are U21s who will play with the Development squads this season. The same old waffle from these pundits is getting so boring.
Well, that is certainly not correct. Petrovic, Bettinelli, Jørgensen, Sanchez are all first team players over the age of 21, you really think 4 out of 21 players are goal keepers? Anjorin is 23 in November Fofana 23 in December, Broja is still at the club. They have Casadei and Chukwumeka on contracts to 2028, they spent €22.5 m on Kellyman (contract to 2030). They bought Angelo for €15m last and Deivid Washington for €16m last summer (both with contracts to 2029), but still went out and bought Guiu for €6m (contract 2029). All well and good buying talent, but when do they think these players will get a chance to actually play and develop? These are players going around on relative expensive contracts for what they offer on long contracts and Maresca can't find a space for them to train with the first team and have them on the bench. They bought Sterling, then they bought Mudryk, Madueke, Nkunku, Palmer, and now Neto and Joaoa Felix - basically for max 3 spots in the starting 11. That's an awful lot of money sitting on the bench, and in front of the younger talent the clubs have also bought... They spent big on defensive/central midfields in Caicedo, Enzo and Lavia, and then went and bought Dewsbury-Hall and Renato Veiga. They have at least 5 CBs in Colwill, Badiashile, Diasi, Fofana and Tosin (while trying to shift Chalobah) while at the same time have minimal cover on the right and left back with only Malo Gusto, Cucurella and heavily injury prone Reece James (Chilwell is pushed out of the team) the only clear back alternatives (Colwill and Renato Veiga have been playing there)
Stevie is hateful to Sterling, thanks Craig, 10 goals 8 assist with a bunch of kids and bad coaching. Everyone except Palmer was bad!! Sterling and Madueke played against city Sunday would be different game. He scored against them last year and pre-season then both dropped..crazy
I'm not even a Chelsea fan but Maresca is making the best out of a shitty bizarre situation and making it clear for everyone. He should be praised for his honesty and courage in pursuing organization and order. These guys don't have a clue.
I am utd fan but please stop talking about Chelsea squad. You media espn and sky are making them more stress. Let them play with the players he prefer. It’s same with utd Erik plays with his preference he didn’t openly say that he didn’t like him but this Italian coach did that’s their character usually so please stop talking
I’ve always told my friends what Craig said on this show, until players start being paid based on performances and not just handing them under serving contracts, things like this are bound to happen. You can’t hand a player a contract and because you want to dump him, expect him to give up his salary and leave, just because he wants to play, that’s never going to happen
There is always someone out there willing to call someone who says the truth arrogant.stop calling people you don't know arrogant. It says more about you than them
This panel is wild! Endless contradictions and lack of understanding. Like a bunch of old men talking about the good old days, footballs changing lads, move with it or get left behind 😅
Your all clowns if you disagree. He should work with all the players. Hows does he know his best team if he doesn’t. How do the others get in the team. Jesus Christ the bots are thick 🤣
Really Stevie Sterling is a modern professional. The statement was not needed, I agree but don't say the guy doesn't care about football. The guy won titles under Pep with valuable contribution. You don't do that if you don't care .
Are these guys saying the coach should work with 42 players? You guys just find a way to criticize everything. The coach is right and he did what is right. If you know better, go become a coach.
I don’t know which 20 players they are talking about, the only 4 senior players I know off are Chilwell , Rahim , lukaku and Chalobah the rest are under 23 players
Across several media narratives most touch on themes such as "this is a business", "this is a mess", "that's just football", over and over. Yet I have not seen the media landing well (beyond isolated comments) the narrative about culture and values at the club level. I think there is an angle to explore in having a bloated squad impacting the culture at the team. Players are people and probably build friendships and relationships, seeing your coworkers and friends being moved around this way should tell you that you should expect this the tone that Chelsea management is setting, which might attract/deter players and actions from players in the pitch, market and even training. I'm not a professional footballer but many pundits were. I'd love to see people who had that experience elaborate on the potential impact of a bloated squad could have on culture of the team in more depth as opposed to repeating the same narratives over and over
There's no way there are Chelsea fans who think that a tinder box of 40+ first team players will end well. My brother in Christ, this is going to end badly.
The problem with Raheem Sterling is that if he stays to see out his contract, that may be the end of his Career. I don't see a team paying a player who basically hasn't played competitive football for 3 years and is 33. If he goes and takes less money, he can prolong his career by another 5 to 6 depending on how well he plays. Players are playing longer nowadays, so it's probably in his best interest to move-on.
Some of them are really dumb. And that's why they don't prosper in anything else after being retired from playing. Most of these so-called ex pros cannot coach a team or run a club successfully, but are quick to judge others
And that's why they're trying to for Sterling out now. Because they didn't do that with him and need to move someone out to fit in Felix and possibly Oshiman.
@@timothy.covertyou are very confused. This person is saying Chelsea under new recruitment HAVE been exclusively offering incentivized contracts (a method that’s been ignorantly criticized by most pundits). Sterling came before new recruitment. They aren’t saying we’ve solved the issue lol.
These same pundits said "the players aren't good enough, Stanley needs to improve, his wages are way too much, the coach has to be bold to pick his first 11..."
Sterling should move to italy, Inter, AC and Napoli could definitely find a place for him, even if he doesn’t become a regular starter, he’d definitely get a lot of playing time
Liverpool fan here and I want Chelsea fans to tell whether Raheem was as awful last season as these talking heads are making out. I didn't watch him every week but when I did get to see him he was decent and even chipped in with a goal here and there. Now I could have been mislead by chance or whatever but if Sterling was as pony as they say, I'd rather hear it off genuine Chelsea fans that followed the team week by week. I cannot take it for granted based on these talking heads because I know how often they make baseless or badly researched statements. Especially certain names I could mention. True blues, what are you telling me?
If you ask any Chelsea fan about Sterling, the answer will be a resounding "get out" but amazingly, if you ask these so called critics if they'll have Sterling in their team, again you'll get a resounding no. It's a f*cked up sh*t.
The panel are throwing non facts out. Sterling was still wanted at City but chose to leave. At Chelsea, first season Sterling was poor, last season Sterling started on fire and on occasions was unplayable but lost form badly after xmas. Very much a confidence player so a risk for any team but one worth taking.
Crazy to act like the squad is still at 45 players… it’s down to 33 with sterling, chilwell, petrovich, chalobah, Angelo, bergstrom, lukaku and more that will be gone soon.. this squad will be down to 25 total players soon
Stevie has such a valid point! What will Raheem bring? He was bang average for Chelsea the whole time, bar 2-3 moments. Thank you Raheem, time for a new adventure.
Sterling is only 29. He scored half the goals the last three years, but before that he had three seasons with 20-30 years. He just need a new enviroment.
One of the many problems is that Chelsea got a whole lot of Brighton staff, and they are trying to mould a model that works perfectly for a club like Brighton, onto a recently top side that fights for titles. Even if you accept you are no longer a top side, you can't stockpile players like that in a team that has a much bigger station than a small club using a model to earn money. Players come there because they think they have made it, not a stepping stone onto another club higher up. Further to that, they use the economic power to buy some players that are not ready made footballers, but young players with no credentials at top level.
The funny and stupid part about this whole issue of Chelsea having 15-20 players training apart, 42 players, etc.. is the fact that other than Chilwell, Sterling, Broja, Chalobah, and possibly Chukwuemeka, and Petrovic (which I think both might stay or go out on loan since they are at least good and still young players), none of the other players is worth mentioning since they are too young and can either play with U-21 or go out on loan. And besides, who is the other 10-15 players apart from those 6 I already mentioned above? I just don't get it? Broja is already close to a move away to Ipswich, which leaves now Chilwell, Chalobah, and Sterling? they maybe mean goalkeepers we don't know of 😂😂
First time i ever agreed with Craig...Sterling been pretty decent in patches and good all pre season. He was way better than Mudryk on the left and Madueke onbtge right says Sterling helps him be better. He should sit on that contract, chelsea been too disrespectful to the players.
Hate to say it but no Chelsea fan is talking about sterling. All the players they brought in & the new coach. I believe Chelsea is gonna be in the era of utd 2012-2023
It's kind of funny because in the corporate world, subcontractors can be cut loose by given 2 weeks notice. Contractors in the sports world hold all the cards lol
ESPN be fair for once, pull up a list of players not training. Chalobah, kepa, sterling and chilwell are the only players without clubs right now, the rest are under 21 and academy players
At the end of the day this is the best Maresca can do. The last time we had 40 plus people in the dressing it was a freaking disaster so this way the players that aren't part of the squad don't poison the mind of those that are part of the main squad. But they better get rid of those players that are isolated or it would be a disaster
Sterling seems to me like the kinda guy who wants to play, he could’ve ran down his contract at city but he went to a much worse team in Chelsea. The way I see it, unless Raheem’s plan is to retire at 32 or 33, there’s no reason for him not to just move to another club and get paid half what he’s paid at Chelsea. He was making 325k a week which is like 17/18 mill a year, that’s a lot of money, he’s already gotten 2 years from Chelsea so he’s taken home almost 40M in the last couple years, like he’s not struggling, he can take a pay cut and be just fine for the rest of his life
These guys clearly have an agenda about Chelsea because if you look at Chelsea first team list it’s majority new and old academy players with the exception of chilwell, sterling, broja and chalobah…4 players that the gaffer has outright said they’ll have to leave so why make such a fuss about academy players like Ajorn who’ve never really been involved in first team play even though they’re listed on the first team sheets???
So y’all hate Chelsea for letting Raheem go but you’re criticizing Villa for wanting to sign him 😂😂😂 you all need meds
It's how they've done it that's the problem.
these are the same pundits criticizing him last season yet they are not pleased Chelsea want to move him on. They complain about the club having too much players but when they put someone up for sale, it's another problem. Comedians

Stevie is hateful to Sterling, thanks Craig, 10 goals 8 assist with a bunch of kids and bad coaching. Everyone except Palmer was bad!! Sterling and Madueke played against city Sunday would be different game. He scored against them last year and pre-season then both dropped..crazy
Fabulous pass from Enzo for the second goal.
Maresca is absolutely right, all players cannot be in the first team.
In Colombia we were watching the Game just as normal
Here is cost 4.99😂
They have over $60 million in yearly wages between the players training separately. This is absolute insanity!
I'm not even a Chelsea fan but Maresca is making the best out of a shitty bizarre situation and making it clear for everyone. He should be praised for his honesty and courage in pursuing organization and order. These guys don't have a clue.
This Stevie guy really hates sterling
I am utd fan but please stop talking about Chelsea squad. You media espn and sky are making them more stress. Let them play with the players he prefer. It’s same with utd Erik plays with his preference he didn’t openly say that he didn’t like him but this Italian coach did that’s their character usually so please stop talking
Nobody watches ESPN fc in europe
@@darj617 I am mostly trying to avoid watch but the suggestion hits to see these guys faces lol 😂
Shut your pit why should they stop talking about a club whose behavior is a joke
Imagine these pundits talking about a guy that’s in the premier league 100 club. Sterling over Diaz Mr Nicol
I’ve always told my friends what Craig said on this show, until players start being paid based on performances and not just handing them under serving contracts, things like this are bound to happen. You can’t hand a player a contract and because you want to dump him, expect him to give up his salary and leave, just because he wants to play, that’s never going to happen
Slagging Chelsea for wanting to sell Sterling but not good enough for Villa? 😅
Conceding 22 shots at home to servette is crazy
Craig is right this Maresca guy too arrogant for a coach that hasn't achieved anything major and will never
At least he's publicly calling out the ownership/sporting group and putting heat on them.
Shut your trap 😂
@@jl8485 Maresca putting heat on the owners? In your mind? You smoking weed?
There is always someone out there willing to call someone who says the truth arrogant.stop calling people you don't know arrogant.
It says more about you than them
How is he arrogant? Just because he tells the truth you label him arrogant
This panel is wild! Endless contradictions and lack of understanding. Like a bunch of old men talking about the good old days, footballs changing lads, move with it or get left behind 😅
Your all clowns if you disagree. He should work with all the players. Hows does he know his best team if he doesn’t. How do the others get in the team. Jesus Christ the bots are thick 🤣
He worked with the players during the preseason and then decided who he would keep
@@derron1253 Not all of them. Some are injured.
Chelsea just won against wolves and we know you guys hates to see it
I have no idea what is going with Chelsea; they def are finishing mid-table again. Any good parlays set?
Chelsea is not the first team to tell players to train separately, so why the hate?
A whole squad? Yes they are😂
These pundits are so boring same old narratives
Compare it to Henry talking....
Here you are watching it...
@@TheAeasy19exactly
Why watch, I don’t watch right wing propaganda news like Fox noise. Same old fear mongering and misinformation
Todd is that you?
Craig will criticize Chelsea for stuff he rates other clubs for
Maresca may end up being sacked by Chelsea FC and Sterling remains. Honestly, based on the double digits stats he isn't that bad
The two groups train at different times so they are not meeting like Burley suggests and probably knows anyway
Really Stevie
Sterling is a modern professional. The statement was not needed, I agree but don't say the guy doesn't care about football. The guy won titles under Pep with valuable contribution. You don't do that if you don't care .
Are these guys saying the coach should work with 42 players? You guys just find a way to criticize everything. The coach is right and he did what is right. If you know better, go become a coach.
No, they say they should not buy 42 players in the first place and that maresca should learn to be smart in his responses.
The first thing is not to force Abrahamovic to sell chelseafc... that was wrong.
Please let's enjoy the drama.
I don’t know which 20 players they are talking about, the only 4 senior players I know off are Chilwell , Rahim , lukaku and Chalobah the rest are under 23 players
I only work with 115 players
Across several media narratives most touch on themes such as "this is a business", "this is a mess", "that's just football", over and over. Yet I have not seen the media landing well (beyond isolated comments) the narrative about culture and values at the club level. I think there is an angle to explore in having a bloated squad impacting the culture at the team. Players are people and probably build friendships and relationships, seeing your coworkers and friends being moved around this way should tell you that you should expect this the tone that Chelsea management is setting, which might attract/deter players and actions from players in the pitch, market and even training. I'm not a professional footballer but many pundits were. I'd love to see people who had that experience elaborate on the potential impact of a bloated squad could have on culture of the team in more depth as opposed to repeating the same narratives over and over
There's no way there are Chelsea fans who think that a tinder box of 40+ first team players will end well. My brother in Christ, this is going to end badly.
The problem with Raheem Sterling is that if he stays to see out his contract, that may be the end of his Career. I don't see a team paying a player who basically hasn't played competitive football for 3 years and is 33. If he goes and takes less money, he can prolong his career by another 5 to 6 depending on how well he plays. Players are playing longer nowadays, so it's probably in his best interest to move-on.
Raheem Sterling is the most disrespected player I have ever seen.
ESPN has to release another vacancy. These pundits Dont know exactly how Football is run. Their arguments are so sentimental.
ESPN is a joke 😂
why? because they’re rightfully pointing out the joke that is chelsea at the moment?
@@angelicstatueoftheinnerpath Because they are not doing their proper research
@@chulumancobadli2513which is what
@@Lyfstyl-eu2gm are all the other 21 players 1st team players?
Servette had 22 shots! Oh my
It was available on the Chelsea website and app.
10:02 "hes going to get it from every angle" LMAO
I was waiting for Craig's comments on this and I'm not disappointed..
another session of frank sucking up to craig’s comments
ESPN stop moaning !
Why only 21 players when a squad of 25 is allowed?
He's talking about outfield players. 21 + 4 'keepers = 25 😉
Maresca was brought in to be the sheriff
Craig Burley saying he would give Raheem an incentive-based contract, Isn't this what is happening at Chelsea?
Some of them are really dumb. And that's why they don't prosper in anything else after being retired from playing.
Most of these so-called ex pros cannot coach a team or run a club successfully, but are quick to judge others
@@kennedytariah But you commenting on a youtube video are the poster child of prosperity?
And that's why they're trying to for Sterling out now. Because they didn't do that with him and need to move someone out to fit in Felix and possibly Oshiman.
taking him out of training with the first team is not the same as incentive based they are paying him 340k a week no matter what
@@timothy.covertyou are very confused. This person is saying Chelsea under new recruitment HAVE been exclusively offering incentivized contracts (a method that’s been ignorantly criticized by most pundits). Sterling came before new recruitment. They aren’t saying we’ve solved the issue lol.
These same pundits said "the players aren't good enough, Stanley needs to improve, his wages are way too much, the coach has to be bold to pick his first 11..."
Sterling should move to italy, Inter, AC and Napoli could definitely find a place for him, even if he doesn’t become a regular starter, he’d definitely get a lot of playing time
How can Chelsea allow Servette 22 shots? A team whose whole squad cost about the same as Caicedo's left leg.
First time I'm going to agree with Steve💯
Maresca is safe. If this team doesn't work ALL fingers should be pointed to the ownership and the directors.
Liverpool fan here and I want Chelsea fans to tell whether Raheem was as awful last season as these talking heads are making out.
I didn't watch him every week but when I did get to see him he was decent and even chipped in with a goal here and there.
Now I could have been mislead by chance or whatever but if Sterling was as pony as they say, I'd rather hear it off genuine Chelsea fans that followed the team week by week.
I cannot take it for granted based on these talking heads because I know how often they make baseless or badly researched statements. Especially certain names I could mention.
True blues, what are you telling me?
These last days Craig is really firey
These performances are definitely definitive of the all set up.
If you ask any Chelsea fan about Sterling, the answer will be a resounding "get out" but amazingly, if you ask these so called critics if they'll have Sterling in their team, again you'll get a resounding no.
It's a f*cked up sh*t.
The panel are throwing non facts out. Sterling was still wanted at City but chose to leave. At Chelsea, first season Sterling was poor, last season Sterling started on fire and on occasions was unplayable but lost form badly after xmas. Very much a confidence player so a risk for any team but one worth taking.
Pundits crying Chelsea fc buying a lot of players but when Chelsea put 31 years old Sterling and Lukaku up for sales pundits crying 🤷🏿♂️😂😂
Crazy to act like the squad is still at 45 players… it’s down to 33 with sterling, chilwell, petrovich, chalobah, Angelo, bergstrom, lukaku and more that will be gone soon.. this squad will be down to 25 total players soon
From winning UCL in 2021 to playoffs for Conference league in 2024.
What a glorious fall - after spending Gazillions 😑
Stevie has such a valid point! What will Raheem bring? He was bang average for Chelsea the whole time, bar 2-3 moments. Thank you Raheem, time for a new adventure.
Sterling was heavily involved in pre season - really doubt this is even the manager's decision
They make fun of our youth team, academy, b squad, starting XI. Like I said before, I’m just glad my favorite team is in the headlines.
Sterling is only 29. He scored half the goals the last three years, but before that he had three seasons with 20-30 years. He just need a new enviroment.
Just to be precise, Guiu didn't miss, the keeper recovered well to make a "World-Class save"!😂😂😂😂
Well done Craig! Fearless
The only one to call Chelsea out.Complete opposite of Simon (apologist) Jordan.
I disagree with the Sterling diss. He wasn’t even close to the worst players in Chelsea. Mudryk was way worse…and somehow he’s playing??
I remember the stink Raheem and his agent caused when he left Liverpool. His statement and attitude now at Chelsea is not a surprise.
Stevie needs to mention the names of other players in the league who were better than Sterling last season before he mentions how Sterling was poor.
One of the many problems is that Chelsea got a whole lot of Brighton staff, and they are trying to mould a model that works perfectly for a club like Brighton, onto a recently top side that fights for titles. Even if you accept you are no longer a top side, you can't stockpile players like that in a team that has a much bigger station than a small club using a model to earn money. Players come there because they think they have made it, not a stepping stone onto another club higher up.
Further to that, they use the economic power to buy some players that are not ready made footballers, but young players with no credentials at top level.
If you analyse the 20 , 12 are academy players and U23 players and 8 are waiting to be sold so I don't why people waffle.
The funny and stupid part about this whole issue of Chelsea having 15-20 players training apart, 42 players, etc.. is the fact that other than Chilwell, Sterling, Broja, Chalobah, and possibly Chukwuemeka, and Petrovic (which I think both might stay or go out on loan since they are at least good and still young players), none of the other players is worth mentioning since they are too young and can either play with U-21 or go out on loan. And besides, who is the other 10-15 players apart from those 6 I already mentioned above? I just don't get it? Broja is already close to a move away to Ipswich, which leaves now Chilwell, Chalobah, and Sterling? they maybe mean goalkeepers we don't know of 😂😂
I didn’t even know there was a match like this yesterday
First time i ever agreed with Craig...Sterling been pretty decent in patches and good all pre season. He was way better than Mudryk on the left and Madueke onbtge right says Sterling helps him be better. He should sit on that contract, chelsea been too disrespectful to the players.
If you said Raheen is horrendous why do you want Chelsea to keep him?
Hate to say it but no Chelsea fan is talking about sterling. All the players they brought in & the new coach. I believe Chelsea is gonna be in the era of utd 2012-2023
It's kind of funny because in the corporate world, subcontractors can be cut loose by given 2 weeks notice.
Contractors in the sports world hold all the cards lol
ESPN be fair for once, pull up a list of players not training. Chalobah, kepa, sterling and chilwell are the only players without clubs right now, the rest are under 21 and academy players
I love this show Craig Burley is hilarious 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
Chelsea win 2-0, any thoughts on the performance?
Nah let’s find something new to rag on them for.
At the end of the day this is the best Maresca can do. The last time we had 40 plus people in the dressing it was a freaking disaster so this way the players that aren't part of the squad don't poison the mind of those that are part of the main squad.
But they better get rid of those players that are isolated or it would be a disaster
Sterling seems to me like the kinda guy who wants to play, he could’ve ran down his contract at city but he went to a much worse team in Chelsea. The way I see it, unless Raheem’s plan is to retire at 32 or 33, there’s no reason for him not to just move to another club and get paid half what he’s paid at Chelsea. He was making 325k a week which is like 17/18 mill a year, that’s a lot of money, he’s already gotten 2 years from Chelsea so he’s taken home almost 40M in the last couple years, like he’s not struggling, he can take a pay cut and be just fine for the rest of his life
What do they expect Maresca to do?? Work with 42 players??
These guys clearly have an agenda about Chelsea because if you look at Chelsea first team list it’s majority new and old academy players with the exception of chilwell, sterling, broja and chalobah…4 players that the gaffer has outright said they’ll have to leave so why make such a fuss about academy players like Ajorn who’ve never really been involved in first team play even though they’re listed on the first team sheets???
Exactly 😂😂
they're training by themselves because they're about to leave...how is this so hard to understand?!
Welcome to our world, Chelsea fans. This type of negative journalism is what we deal with every day as Manutd fans.
We have been dealing with this since 2003 that and biased refs like Anthony Taylor. They only turned on UTD after Fergie left.
You forget that chelsea also sell players, not only buy.
Good perspective 👏🏻
