I think Deschamps doesn't appreciate it when players threaten to switch national teams in order to get called-up, as was the case with Laporte and Theo Hernandez. Both of them will likely never be called in the french squad until Deschamps is gone.

He massively improved defensively this season. There were times where he switched off or looked disinterested last season but he's been very good so far. I wish he would take more risks either with his passing or running with the ball but I'm sure it will come when he gains more confidence.

I'm not surprised at all. He was always a good player. In fact I was hoping he would go up a level if he came here similarly to Walker at City. People seemed to think he was awful because he had a bad game vs Mahrez when he was isolated for most of that game. Also Leicester fans for some reason had him as their scapegoat for their defensive woes.

Channeled his inner Mourinho today.
On a serious note, I'm really disapointed with his substitutions today. He was so good at turning games around with his subs but today was horrendous. Basically threw 1 away when he made the first 2 so close to one another. 5 changes are allowed but only 3 seperate occasions. Then he took forever to make the last changes and ran Havertz and Werner to the ground.

Sevilla will make sure to get Jorginho sent off. He needs to come off. They got away with a lot of fouling in the first half as well.

It's funny seeing the hate he gets from both Chelsea and England fans, yet both managers select him on a regular basis and he keeps delivering.

According to the WHU ITK on twitter, Tomori didn't want to move to West Ham because his conversation with Moyes was not very convincing. Moyes did not sound particularly enthusiastic. He didn't give him game time assurance or guarantees about what would happen to him there, nor did he show any interest about wanting to keep him at the club beyond his loan.
He wasn't a Moyes target to begin with and we had a clause in which they would have to pay us 50k everytime he didn't start for them. It's possible he didnt quite like being pressured into playing him.

Rudiger couldn't be loaned out, so we granted Tomori who previously asked to leave on loan his wish. Lampard wanted to keep him but we couldn't afford to keep 5 CBs at the club. Tomori seems to have had a change of heart or he didn't want to go to West Ham so the deal collapsed.

Conflicting news considering Simon Johnson reported yesterday that he should be staying at the club.

Clearly gassed today. Lampard should be managing his minutes better than this. Great stamina or not.

If one is to be loaned out, it should be Loftus-Cheek who seriously needs game time. Barkley has been a very useful squad player since Sarri and will continue to be. Unless they're offering to buy him for good money, we shouldn't accept it.

Looking much better in possession than anything we've seen vs Brighton or Liverpool. We look very open but that's to be expected from a Kova Barkley midfield.

I don't think it's unreasonable to drop Havertz for tomorrow's game, or even for the next few games. Pulisic last season took time to adapt to the PL, and when he finally got back in the starting 11 he looked like a different player. Lampard spoke about how he wanted to protect him in an interview. I remember Pep doing the same with Sane and Bernardo when they arrived.

The fee could reach up to 28M euros after bonuses according to The Guardian. That's a bit much IMO. If that's true, I fail to understand how Mendy is seen as a cheap alternative while Onana is rumoured to be available for around 30.
