In today’s Football Daily: Chelsea’s bleakly expensive hopelessness

After four minutes, and a Leandro Trossard opener set up by Declan Rice gliding unhindered, Liverpool and Manchester City fans were already flicking to the Championship battle between Leicester and Southampton in disappointment. Could Arsenal’s utter dominance fade and Mikel Arteta’s touchline anxiety take hold of his players?.

“I don’t want your shirt, I want you to fight for yours,” raged a placard held up by a young Blue at the Emirates. A very similar sign was seen in the crowd at Brentford a few weeks back. Chelsea have become a football cliche, a byword for a bleakly expensive hopelessness that has spared even Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United a few blushes. Mauricio Pochettino may act like all this has little to do with him but his own reputation is taking a severe hit by association.

Kai Havertz, skating away on the thin ice of a new day to score twice against his old club, might have been the type of player Chelsea built their team around. Instead, to pay for the transfer expediency of the Boehly/Eghbali alliance that decided to rewrite the rules he joins a long list of recent ex-Blues who look distinctly better than what replaced them. On Tuesday, Jorginho also came on against his old club.

It’s left to dear Thiago Silva, 88, to add respectability and class to a club that part-exchanged such qualities for subprime assets. Each of Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Nicolas Jackson and Mykhailo Mudryk has the talent to be a fine Chelsea player, but not when carelessly thrown together into the cocktail shaker handed to Pochettino, who is then asked to make something that somehow doesn’t taste of abject and likely continuing failure.

Re: ‘Més Que Un Desesperado Club’ and your continued obsession with ‘Nottingham Forest’s paranoid take on the selection of VAR officials’. Please). Shame on you. ‘Soulless’ is a completely wrong description of the London Stadium and should be corrected or the writer sacked” – Tom Smith.). So much interesting stuff. His wife has a degree in telecommunications engineering. He has 14 caps for Portugal. He shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. Oh wait – that’s Johnny Cash’s page.
