Some of you are dmb asf and are the reasons why some even say all we Africans are stpid. Let me teach you here before you emb*rrass yourself further.
There's a difference between doing it in your first managerial career and doing it coming from a different league.
Jose Mourinho came in already an experienced manager, having joined management in 2000 at Benfica, then won the Champions League with Porto in 2004 before joining Chelsea in 2004 and also winning the league that same year.
Meaning by the time he won his first UCL, he was 4 years into management and the EPL after five years of having the experience of managing a team, and you want to compare him to Mikel Arteta, who had no experience managing any team, let alone one that was slowly going down, and he had to spend 3 years out of the 7 to bring it back to life.
In brief, Arteta's real successful career of challenging for trophies began exactly in his 4th year, having built his team, and in those four years, he has won the Community Shield, Premier League and has taken Arsenal to the QF, SF and final of the UCL.
And also, could you please name one manager who has done what Arteta has done at Arsenal by winning the league in his first-ever managerial career?
Feel free to ask Grok too. 🤡
The same trophy Mourinho won back-to-back within his first 5 years as a professional coach and in his first experience managing in premier league?
There are plenty of mangers who have won major trophies before reaching 7 years as a professional coach
That's why it's always wise to reserve harsh words whenever you disagree with someone's opinion

There should be a real discussion because Chelsea are the beat Club in the world and not Real Madrid

🚨 🎙️ Arda Güler On Kylian Mbappe—Says he is the most true deserving of Ballon D’Or Award:
🗣️“Yes of course, Mbappe deserves the Ballon D’Or Award. He has done massively well individually and as a team. He is the best player and I’m glad that I share pitch with him everyday as a teammate.
The records and achievements speaks for itself. Ballon D’Or is an individual award not a team award … so it should be judged base on individual performance and achievements.”

🚨🔵 I saw a video of a fan saying Chelsea were just hoofing the ball upfield to relieve pressure because we couldn't keep possession. Funny how nobody complained about it when we were winning games, but suddenly it's a tactical problem because we lost to Tottenham.
João Pedro has always been the player receiving long balls from the goalkeeper, bringing them under control and linking up with Palmer and Rogers. Against Tottenham, we tried the same approach without him, expecting Morgan Rogers to use his physicality and height to make it work, but it didn't.
That doesn't mean Alonso's tactics are bad. It shows how much our system depends on the personnel executing it. I still blame Alonso for not using Welbeck, who is also good in the air and more suited to that role than Garnacho.
This is exactly why João Pedro is so important to Chelsea. He doesn't just score goals; he connects the entire attack. 💙

🚨🔵 One of my issues with Xabi Alonso is the lack of a plan B when the initial gameplan doesn't work. Criticizing him doesn't mean we hate him, but a lot of people can't seem to tell the difference.
Against Tottenham it was clear from the first minute that the plan wasn't working. Going long without a focal number 9 up front, with Rogers and Palmer as the targets, just handed Spurs the second balls all afternoon. The players couldn't hold the ball for more than a few moments and kept giving it straight back.
What I expected from a top coach was a change of plan and personnel. Instead he started the second half with the same setup, and the first change didn't come until the 65th minute. Welbeck, our only real striker option on the day, didn't arrive until the 90th.
A top coach has to recognize when his tactics aren't working and adjust, or he's setting himself up to fail. Alonso needs to show he has more than one way to win.
Am I the only one who thinks Alonso lacks a residual plan Incase the initial gameplan doesn't work out or there are others who think so too ? 👀.
🚨🔵 I'm confused by Alonso's decision-making in that Tottenham defeat.
Caicedo and Henderson didn't control the midfield, and Chelsea needed a spark. Yet Henderson played all 90 minutes, while Lavia and Barco, both fully fit, never left the bench. Henderson was signed to be a reliable squad option, not an automatic starter who plays every minute, and fresh legs were right there.
The changes we did make came late: Palestra on 65, Estêvão on 71 and Welbeck at 90 wheen the game was literally screaming for a striker . We were still 0-0 until Penders' own goal, and by then it was too late to rescue anything because we failed to create any clear cut chances.
This isn't the Bundesliga, where teams let you score in the final minutes. If your system isn't working, you have to change it earlier. One bad day doesn't undo the good work so far, but Alonso has to be braver with his bench.
Should Lavia or Barco have come on earlier? 👀

Emmanuel Emegha is yet to play a game for Chelsea this season because his always injured 😭 😭.
Do you think it was the right choice to keep him in the team knowing his injury record?
