"They need to get the manager in now" - Paul Merson on Chelsea

foreign

about Chelsea I'm going to start with

you Moss um there were no heroics at

Stamford Bridge look we know Frank

Lampard inherited a difficult situation

but how much responsibility do we have

to put on on his shoulders for recent

results since he came back

and performances I don't know

I mean I think the players the players

no disrespect were fussed about the

league games you know I watched them at

Wolves yeah and they're not getting in

the Champions League they're not really

getting in Europe it was on the two Real

Madrid games

they had five clear-cut chances over the

two ties they never scored one goal

they're Achilles eel they've spent 600

million they haven't bought a sent

forward

you know Neil here on the edge just now

he just said you have to score goals you

need to score goals they have not got a

goal scorer everybody they buy is a can

play all the way along the front line

that's no good you know Harlan can't

play left wing or right wing he's just

Center forward and this is their problem

it doesn't matter who the manager is

they need to get the manager in now they

need to sort this out now they need to

go right and this is no disrespect to

Frank but they've got to go right who do

we want who do we get you go in now

there's four five six games to go you

could Tinker who's going to be there

next season who's not I mean but bring

someone now is disrespectful to Franklin

bar doesn't it

you know he knows he's only there for

the short time anyway you know Frank

nosy was there for the short time he's

there for the Champions League games

that was what he was there for they're

not they're not getting up the league

you know what what you read about Thiago

Silva today where they had to knock the

dresser room through I mean you can't

have 30 Plaza even if you have a 11v11

you've got eight players sitting out

it's impossible it's impossible and

we're talking about International

footballers they've got to get the

manager in because he'll come in in May

at the end of the season the players are

all go on holiday they'll come back and

then he'll go right who do I need and

then that plow going no I don't really

want to go unless you're going to give

me 5 million quid otherwise I ain't

going you know and then if I want to buy

beauty I'll ring up and go how much food

is it to go 50 I go I'll give you 30

because you've got to get rid of him you

know you can't keep all these players

for another year it's impossible Chelsea

are in a bit of a problem at the moment

they need to get it sorted very quickly

you know you know there was a stat it's

a day of Danny Danny Murphy say you know

when I sat down I was like wow you're

right

last six years Chelsea been nowhere

they've won the Champions League group

in the league they've been 30 points 25

points 16 points 20 points they've never

looked like winning the league in the

last six years

you know so everybody's saying oh what's

happening at Chelsea they've been a cup

team and they need to change it they

need to get the manager in because you

ain't gonna get inject their next their

next window is massive they need to get

a center forward in they need to clear

out what they need to clear out you know

one of the players that's supposed to be

going is Mason Mount he's one of their

best players that can't happen in my

opinion yeah in my opinion that can't

happen Neil this idea of going for a

manager now getting him in for like an

extended pre-season so we can weigh it

up if you're Julian argosman or even

pochettino do you want to come in now

not really

because it's not the player for and the

atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is going

to be so flat I'm sure you know where it

works most there'll be talks going on

all the time you know and if they do

they might have already decided to

appoint somebody if it is an echo's man

or or projectino they'll be having

discussions with either the director of

football or the owners going rate this

is what we want this is the way we want

it and let Frank do the the day-to-day

stuff between now and the end of the

season but no it would be very difficult

we'll favor six schemes to go into that

dressing with nothing I don't know if

you're going to learn anything Jewels or

not you know about the players and the

character the players because the plan

for nothing really and they did throw

all their eggs into one basket with the

Champions League I actually thought they

played okay last night I thought they

deserve more of a pull hit the needle on

the head there's no goals in the team no

goals and yeah Felix and Raheem Sterling

were on the bench yeah but they're not

cool you know Sterling had a great

chance last week courtois makes a great

save and again the goals change the

psychology of the attack so when Smart

City came second hooligan Bayern Munich

game's over and then it's all city if

Chelsea ever got something out of the

game last week which is probably

deserved mounted one cleared off the

lane towards the end as well then you're

thinking 2-1 got a great chance to stand

for bridge but tuna look at me Real

Madrid they know how to get it done like

you know so for me

I I don't see the point of bringing the

coach in there because I don't think how

much of an impact we would have on this

season but polls may be right in terms

of like a plan for they need to have

overseas yeah I think that's the big

thing when I look at Chelsea

talking about it like you know what I

mean again I think the fans need to see

that and feel it because for me I look

at Chelsea since toboli's come in

there's been no plan whatsoever it's

right get rid of the manager for

whatever reason he's a very very good

manager and he's done well it's like

playing Championship manager

five games you reset you go I'll start

again yeah

someone else is going to sign someone

yeah

someone else is in demand where's the

plan where's the plan for that player to

come in you look at an Arsenal now

they've bought players who are the same

type of player exactly too many of them

yeah and then you talk about losing

really good players like an English

player yeah

I think their summer is clearing out

yeah

five games because don't really make any

difference

has got to have that plan knowing like

yes you're going that the manager is

going to be either one of these terms

but then the manager will want that

they're saying who's going to be there

today do you mean playing these games

today no for next season yeah

so otherwise what I'm saying is though

they know above though they're having a

conversations aren't they to have the

clear out starting yeah but from a

distance you don't you know there might

be a player at the club again I want to

get rid of right I'm a big Chelsea fan I

don't want to get rid of Mace amount

he's one of the best players you know

you've got to keep mace amount now the

manager might come in if he comes in the

next few weeks and see Mason man go whoa

no he ain't leaving yeah give him what

he wants you know he stays but from a

distance he'll go okay he's gone you

know he's got a year left and these

discussions might be ongoing yeah

thank you
