The Mailbox urges Todd Boehly to put down Donald Trump's playbook, while a new strike duo are proposed for Arsenal. Also: Man Utd. Of course, Man Utd. Plus some Everton and Burnley...
Arsenal’s perfect little and large combo, and Boehly failing as Chelsea’s Donald Trump…The Mailbox suggests Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is following Donald Trump's blueprint.
Boehly is a football outsider who naively assumed that football club administrators were incompetent and that he could gazump them with outside-the-box thinking, 8 year contracts and signing an entire squad of 18-23 year old athletes each transfer window. It quickly became clear that this was not the case.
I don’t blame Dyche for setting up to park the bus against Arsenal. The gulf in class was there for all to see. Watching Arsenal pass around and through us with ease compared to when we had the ball was just miles apart. Everton look like a deer in the headlights when they get possession with no real intent other than “don’t lose it !!” As much as I like what I’ve seen from Beto and Danjuma so far, we were never going to score, even if Ramsdale was in. Once we go down a goal, it’s game over.
3. Speaking of the new boys, the LW played really well last night. His assist for the goal was beautiful. Skinned Joe Worral alive. And then the RW coming to the top of the box to finish the move off was lovely to see. 7. Defensively we looked a little shaky at times, and I think better teams might’ve picked us off, but on balance I think 1-1 was about right. We looked dangerous going forwards with some great passing, but we didn’t create enough clear opportunities really. Perhaps a creative player in the middle would help us better. Saying that, had Foster stayed on the pitch, I’d have backed us to snatch a winner late on.
Man U will lose to other teams this season, as will Arsenal, Liverpool , Spurs etc. Brighton somehow got thrashed by West Ham the other week despite having 80% possession. As for where we go from here, certainly from this fan’s perspective, our last remaining chips are pushed into the middle on ten Hag; if he can’t push us on, then we’re doomed until the leeches have gone. The parallels with Ferguson are there; although different, there’s myriad issues behind the scenes that will take a few years to fix. Can Erik do it? Don’t know. But if he can’t, we’re trapped in this cycle whereby our commercial income provides a floor that means we’ll finish top half at worst.
