Carlo won't stay if this repeats in any form or fashion vs Chelsea I feel.
I genuinely think optics matter to Perez if it gets bad enough and he knows he can't keep putting finger on trigger only to take it off every time. If it repeats I think we might go for a guy like Tuchel and spend a bit of money on him to help Chelsea out of predicament. Pochettino probably out of question, but I still think he's a better fit for this squad if given patience (which wont happen with Perez)
Team is nowhere near ready to compete for top titles
Ancelotti is basically EV at this point.
A spineless coward whose managerial choices from past 6 months are coming back to bite him at a moment of vulnerability when the messiah he always had to rescue the team is not there to grant confidence to his teammates. Useless coaching that doesn't improve anybody that wouldn't have improved on their own.
Yup. This is playing out exactly like Barca's 17/18 season. We "ran" the league, but that was because RM were a 75 point competitor. Similar to how Benz bailed you out v PSG, Messi bailed us out v Chelsea with 3 goals. And the moment, Messi no showed in CL, we were put out of our misery and EV was exposed.
Unfortunately, Chelsea is a lot stronger than Roma was so unlike the 4-4 loss on aggregate and away game meltdown we suffered, a beatdown probably awaits you lot. I'm thinking 4-2 or 5-2 on aggregate.
