Well done Delap too for that goal. Made a ruckus in the box

Could do with less changes and destabilizing the midfield and still keep people fresh. The very best teams make hardly any changes between league games. Look at Arsenal lineups over a long period  - Same back 4 + Consistently same players across the pitch

Hopefully not Newcastle just a bit dull we play them twice every season. Know not how it works...

Emery is a WC manager

Delayed post, but James deserves a lot of credit for his gesture by taking the interim coach to the fans after the City game.
Very good character.
I've said this before, but one of the things Chelsea fans can take to heart this season, is the growing leadership that both James and Enzo Fernandez have shown on occasion this season.
Still a lot more to go, to get near Azpilicueta, let alone Drogba, Terry or Lampard levels.
But a good sign nonetheless.

People deal with things in their own way. He was very vocal during the Enzo saga as well.
Hate crime is a crime however you look at it. His performances should be called out & nothing else.

I'm not here to past judgement. However, this type of response always seems to come from the same ground. Racism is still a major issue, which is why the club have come out condemning those uneducated individuals. 

I'm not a fan of Joao leading the line, tbh. He did decent against Spurs, but I feel playing behind a CF is his best position.

Not the worse result all things considered, but we really ought to be winning with our squad. Maresca needs to sort out his starting XI's instead of trying to make amends at HT. I feel a solid CB that walks straight into our starting XI is a must in Jan with Colwill still out for the forseeable.

We should win ofc but they are not that bad. Currently sharing 3rd place in CL. Possibly 3 wins in 4. Even in a loss against Villarreal they had a lead.

For the €106m (£92m) we dumped on Garnacho and Gittens we could have had either Sememyo or Kenan Yıldız AND also met the price easily for Maignan. And then sold either Jörgensen or Sanchez for additional funds and went after a veteran CB, especially after Colwill went down.

Caicedo is the best CMF/DMF on the planet

Disasi will be getting pulled back into the main squad at this rate. Josh can't catch a break either.

atm Gusto is playing in MF and Reece at RB

He was absolutely shocking and didn't touch the ball before a fluke long range goal 

It's looking bleak at this point. The CWC victory and uninspiring business is costing us in September rather than December this time around.

Slonina would have been better placed in this match considering his previous loan. Jorgensen is lost out there.

yes the first one was ludicrously ref-caused
outrageous interference in a HUGE game

It's crazy to think it's been that long. I hoping for good memories tonight.
We are world champions, so like it or not, we'll have a target of sorts on our back that will make teams want to up their game even more.

Surely struggling after having no preseason and winning is a positive, right?
We, Liverpool & Palace are the only teams unbeaten after three games. There are some positives to be taken.

not so much him (although I do rate Xavi)
more upset about Fermin and/or Rogers
we should have moved for Fermin right after the World Club Cup
he is a fucking baller, so so creative
also I would take Rogers over Xavi as well

Yeahhh it worked for them last year..
How boring. I just want us to get near..or least go all the way to Wembley and win. Hopefully can least manage that!

We need to stop square pegs in round holes, NOW

The window started off promising. It's a shame real ambition lacked, but we have had our hands tied to an extent. 
Last few days have been a mess, though.
