    Apologies to the Portuguese defender, Ricardo Carvalho, not Richard. Thanks to all who pointed that out! 🙏

  2. Avatar de @supacopper4790

    Ricardo Carvalho and Eidur Gudjohnsen are the most underrated players of that Chelsea squad.

    Why would anybody think it would be city or Liverpool & not mourinho’s Chelsea ??

    Chelsea's back 4 were incredible no doubt. But it was Makelele that was the glue that held that defence together.

    They didn’t play 4-3-3 they played 4-4-2

    No one ever thinks Man City or Liverpool. Everyone knows how brilliant that Chelsea team was defensively.

    Makalele left Madrid and their galacticos did nothing without him, at Chelsea he was essentially the key difference between 4th place Chelsea and champions chelsea

    How conceeded looks like caicedo

  20. Avatar de @decb

    Tied with Preston North End for the top-flight record, although Preston only played 22 matches back in 1888/89.

    Preston scored 74 league goals, 2 more than Chelsea.

    You would think its one of Peps or Klopps teams…..only if your football knowledge goes back 5 years

    Cech didn’t wear the scrum hat until 2006 after Reading tried to give him and Cudicini brain damage…

  23. Avatar de @kurtsudheim825

    Who tf, unless your u7, would think it's man city or lvpl recent teams. Wenden they ate more attacking teams, esp lvpl

    Jose is a defensive mastermind

  25. Avatar de @XD-lc5ur

    And now Chelsea can go ten straight games without SCORING a goal lmao

    When I heard the intro question: I immediately thought it was a Jose Mourinho team, haha
