The interplay between Callum and Tino after Tino subbed on was fun to watch. I thought Saka's best moments in that final were in the first leg at The Bridge after coming on as a sub. In the second leg I felt he was petulant and ineffective. I especially enjoyed his sulking after his second half 'goal' was disallowed. Smith-Rowe was the star of the first half of the game at Chelsea, and Arsenal's best performer overall I felt. -
Quite right we going to be stuck with unwanted players Jackson, Sterling, Chillwill, Disasi unless we let them go for free virtually.By Bluepower777

Hudson-Odoi was the star of the show that second leg. Amazing when you see how far some of the players in that game have come. CHO, James, Guehi, Gilmour, Gallagher, Smith-Rowe (even though he has regressed a bit) and of course Bukayo Saka who is one of the best wingers in the league.By Stats

maresca was probably asking them "how much can we spend to meet UCL requirement" 😆

That photo must be from the second leg of the 2018 FA Youth Cup Final. One of my favourite Chelsea performances ever. I sat behind one of the goals, as we totally outclassed them. Tino Anjorin's cameo as a second half substitute briefly had me believing that he could be a star.

Been very harsh on Nico Jackson over the past season but after giving it thought, I wish the guy all the best in finding his new club and thank you for running your socks off for this club. Unfortunately your best just isn’t enough for us right now. I do believe he is a good guy and isn’t a terrible player, he just isn’t the striker we need to take us back to the promise land.By DDA

Might be more to do with personality than performance. Given that Enso has silenced his critics, including the daily clamour from some here for him to be sacked, the club will require a complete climb down by Veiga before changing their stance. As far as can be judged from what we've seen play out, that doesn't seem likely. It's a fair guess that Veiga's idea about where he wants to play is at the heart of the problem because Maresca wants to impose a 'you'll play where I ask you to play'

Marc also has the advantage of being way more affordable than Murillo who would be my preference if money was no object. I think coughing up for the Brazilian might be unaffordable under uefa regulations.

We'd all agree though that such things play no part when assessing a player.

Levi Colwill is fundamental to Chelsea on many levels – replacing him will be tough https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6541231/2025/08/08/levi-colwill-Chelsea-injury-analysis/ If anyone needs a reminder of just how dizzyingly — and, at times, brutally — fast football moves, consider that less than two weeks ago, Levi Colwill was talking about competing for the Premier League title with Chelsea this season, and how he felt about an impending Champions League debut at his boyhood cluBy Vesper
