For the WestHam game the new manager Liam Rosenior put together the team which could never ever be successful and win the game. He picked the starting eleven and the tactic, which were both more than just poor choices.

The two purchases Todd Boehly managed after spending £1 billion for players which were supposed to be part of "first team" - Garnacho and Delap and which Liam Rosenior put in the team against WestHam was completely lost. Even my grandma (if she would be still alive) would not put Garnacho against Wan-Bissaka as Garnacho is too slow and both WestHam goals come because of Garnacho and Badiashile mistakes. Badiashile is not the defender at all what he demonstrated yet again yesterday. Therefore, my grandma would not picked the starting eleven with these two CFC players against WestHam who needs points to stay in the league.

Same applies with Liam Delap, and we were very lucky that VAR did not punish us and disallowed Cucurrella's goal because of Delap's fault when he could not score a header 60cm away of open Hummer's goal. What a golden "striker" Todd Boehly bought! Cannot score, not even on home turf. 

What was remarkable, even before the game started, I was hearing from my neighbours in the stadium why the manager made such a line-up. They were quite angry with such a selection, the same as my significant other, who has no knowledge of football but she understands few things. One of these things would be team selection, despite that on Tuesday we are facing Arsenal in a cup game where we are already a goal down. No excuse to put together the team which cannot perform against WestHam to salvage the game in Tuesday's semi-finals against Arsenal. We could easily be without 3 points against WestHam, if WestHam would be a bit more clinical, luckily for us, they were not. On top of which, fiddling with the team selection there is no guarantee that we will overturn the result on Tuesday against Arsenal, therefore there would be, could be, easily both losses. 

What was most ridiculous was that after the game, which we managed to win, they all praised manager Liam Rosenior for success. What 24 carat plonkers you all really are!

If Liam Rosenior would have the brains, skills and football knowledge for being manager on top levels, he would never ever put such a team against WestHam in first place. Being a manager of elite players which Chelsea FC have several, you must be really stupid manager, or players don't want to perform for you, not to win the games. 

Make no mistake, there is no mystery why Enzo Maresca got the boot, as he was not having a "second team" to play with, for which he was asking the board and the owners, and was angry with them, why they are buying players which Chelsea don't need.

All these points Maresca addressed to the owners, that there is no "second team" which can equally replace players of first team, moreover, that Garnacho and Delap who he was given as improvement of the first team are not the payers for the CFC first team.

Well, Maresca was right that Garnacho and Delap are not improvements of Chelsea first team, I fully agreed with Maresca from the day one when they joined Chelsea.

For me, both would be perhaps improvement for Braintree Town FC (owners and supporters of this team please don't be offended) and that we have blind goalkeeper, who need to go to Specsavers to see the ball coming (eg. first WestHam goal today), or having for defender slow, without skills and ideas defender like Badiashile (How many penalties Badiashile gives away?), or yet another Chalobah very very poor performance, so the lined-up Liam Rosenior offered for starting eleven was complete rubbish (read bullshit)!

We managed few wins because of the players performances and their believe and hearts and not because of the manager Liam Rosenior to whom you can give another 10 perfect players and he will still pickup the wrong team, like he chooses the left side of Chelsea including the defence against WestHam which was dire and playing out from the back and likes possession football. Like father - like son!

Boring, boring Chelsea.

I rest my case!

Added after the semi-final game Carabao Cup ARSENAL v CHELSEA FC played on 3rd February 2026

With this game Liam Rosenior just confirmed yet again that he does not have brains and managerial skills. He wasted the complete first 45 minutes and further 11 minutes in the second half before he made changes. He allowed Arsenal to keep the ball, doing nothing.

It did not come to Liam's Rosenior tick head that Arsenal did not need to do anything at all, as they were leading 2:3 from the first game. Therefore, why would they get exposed if not needed. Chelsea players were all over the place, without any tactics, without any plan and completely lost.

Liam Rosenior you belong to Hull or Derby or even not there. Your Delap was in a cup game against Arsenal "amazing" again, doing nothing apart from being number on a pitch to earn another yellow card. Fofana, Gusto, ... also lost and your substitution with Garnacho was just icing on a cake that you do not have a clue about managing a team like Chelsea FC. Same as the owner Todd Boehly still doesn't have a clue.

One simple geezer from Russia with no knowledge of football with name Roman Abramovich was clever enough to bring to Chelsea managers like Jose Mourinho, Gianluca Vialli, Roberto di Mateo, Carlo Angelotti, Antonio Conte, or Thomas Tuchel who all brought major honours to CFC, while Todd Boehly managed to bring rejects and losers like Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, Mauricio Pochettino and Liam Rosenior who managed to f*** all records.

Not to mention that Roman Abramovich has only ONE (1) sporting director > Marina Granovskaia (iron lady) who was simply the best in the west who brought to Chelsea crème de la crème footballers (apart from goalkeeper Arizabalaga).

How many Sporting Directors Todd Boehly have? 8 or 9? All of them cannot get proper players to Chelsea apart from a couple of rejects with names Garnacho and Delap or one failed manager of Hull, Derby and Strasbourg with name Liam Rosenior. Like father - like son.

With Abramovich I have had 5 season tickets for my family, with Todd Boehly none, as they managed to sell my tickets to other people while I was fighting my cancer treatment in hospital and because he gave(sold) my ticket to 5 others and because he cannot stand constructive opinions. Shame on you Todd Boehly and shame on you Liam Rosenior for the lost game against Arsenal. I believe this was one and perhaps the only opportunity for Chelsea to get some silverware this season. Will Chelsea be in the Championship next year? "Ha ha ha said the clown" was one old song from WHO.

I am resting my case for the second time.
