It'll be our first game tonight using the new digital tickets, it looks like they're using a rotating QR code so a screenshot or PDF won't work, which makes me wonder how will the touts get around this? How will tourists get a ticket? One would hope that this means there are more tickets available for non-STH punters like myself and my lad, but based on my recent experience, PL games are still incredibly difficult to get even with true blue membership.

Sounds like a manager issue to be honest. Now we’re reliant on one player or the system breaks down? Maybe use your other defenders and have someone who can step into the role even at a reduced capacity. Yes our CBs and GK are weak but you shouldn’t be losing these winnable games over teams we have a massive talent advantage over.

Classic Jose. Usual bullshit before a game. Good job he’s not the manager he was 10-15 years ago because he’d have a game plan that would absolutely kill us drawn up. Will be a difficult game regardless with our half hearted mob.

We had Colwill available last season and we saw how pissed Maresca was after Colwill got that training ground injury, he kept saying that the CB role Colwill was playing was crucial for his system. Sometimes that is all it takes, one bad injury and the whole defensive line starts to collapse. Also, this season, Sanchez got sent off against United in the first few minutes. As an experienced keeper, he really should know better than leaving his team down to 10 men.

Summerville is an outstanding player, what a game he is having here

It's just dumb. George ended up staying, imagine if we invested the gittens money into a cb and sold and replaced sanchez , suddenly got a good squad

CHO is understandeble and even pulisic would be if his replacement was a world class player but we choose the wrong targets incredible really

The main cause of those losses and draws would have been the team's inability to score more goals, we scored less than Brighton and Brentford and even scored the same as Spurs. We only conceded 2 more than Liverpool.

Even before the weekend's results, I felt they had the best squad. Physically matching up to and beating Newcastle away is the stuff of dreams here at Chelsea.

1-1 draw i think

I am forever an optimist..... until recently.

But we also lost 9 drew 9...we only did the double over a handful of teams and our results against top sides wasnt amazing. Sanchez is not great and everyone can see it.. been said time and time again by fans and pundits etc.

Even poch would have won the conference (would have been fitting in same season spurs and Kane won something) It looks nice in the cabinet but is a joke trophy

Context is needed here. Can we stop already using Conference league like it's some sort of achievement, would've been beyond embarrassing if he didn't win it. He scrapped past Top 4 in the last game of the season. As for CWC great win against PSG but an absolutely comical road to the final if we got the draw PSG got we wouldn't even be in the final as Bayern showed.

I'm not sure I fully believe this, yes he doesn't get many of the decisions but has some input, we got KDH 100% because of him. I read reports this summer that he was the one prioritizing Garnacho over Simons and that he is a big fan of Garnacho so I don't think he is as innocent as some make it sound either. Garnacho not playing is probably more down to his fitness, as for Gittens it's obvious he doesn't rate him.

Sure this be a another disaster..

And from that elite group, Sterling is still collecting 300k a week doing nothing, and Mudryk is pursuing a career change because of drugs. It would be hilarious, if it weren't so sad.

Fair assessment. If there ever was a paradigm shift from the hierarchy towards prioritising winning the league, that would inevitably lead to maresca getting sacked anyway,

Sold Pulisic and CHO for 25m euros. Bought Sterling, Mudryk, Garnacho and Gittens for 235m. Didn't improve the position, in fact it's weaker 😂 ladies and gentlemen BlueCo...

I agree, we were dominating the game with almost 70% possession. I think when we go down to ten men, the issue could be that ordinarily the team is set up to create overloads, but that is almost impossible with 10 men, so the cohesion falls apart.

I hate to keep repeating myself, but we had the third best defensive record in the Premier League last year, only a few goals behind Liverpool. How did we achieve this if our defenders, goalkeeper and manager are all shite? This is genuine question.

The club have said they don’t even care if we lose against Benfica and Liverpool!!!! THEY DONT EVEN CARE!!! We are finished as a powerhouse in England. Done, dusted, finito, it’s over! No overreaction but just simply the reality of the owner’s intentions. The PR briefings that have come out in the last 24 hours are disturbing. Win, Lose or Draw.. BLUE CO OUT!

I am not all that hopeful
