I think the difference is that Abramovic was unapologetically Abramovic. He seemed to have a coherent plan.
Boehly came in suggesting the opposite, and has now reverted to Abramovic with an almost Trumpian addiction to social media, limelight and fake tan.
Reckon this circus will play on a lot...
What I love about these (and I really like this guy actually) is that they compliment us on how well we are run, but there's this sense they feel that Boehly will suddenly turn it around. They're nuts. They're literally saying Brighton are a well run club from top to bottom, Chelsea are not. But...
Also Lampard can take that. Resting your best players against us, even with the Champions League coming up, is utterly disrespectful. Got what you deserved.
Edit: unless he wrote this game off.
What an absolutely fantastic result. There's no doubt everyone involved with Chelsea's would've fancied some kind of result today but we've utterly embarrassed them by all measures but goals, capped off by a wonder goal buy one of our wonder kids. Sensational stuff.
That's not really my point. I'm not denying our quality and never will. But a combination of VAR and being wasteful has meant we haven't been firing as we could over the last few weeks and their squad, whatever we might think about their spending etc, is ludicrous. I also think the players will...
They managed to play their best team possible in the Champions League and I thought they were very good for about the first 15 minutes. I can't see us getting a result today sadly. One game it will click for them, they simply have too much talent for it not to. Need to start really brightly...
