Nothing goes really well since Hazard left. We won a CL but in retrospect this was one match, the one against City. The others were inferior and we did n't get to play Bayern. Because look how last year we nearly made it again in the CL with Potter and Lampard and Real were lucky to eliminate us. EPL is the hard competition and we are looking at the top teams with binos. Maybe this year we are so far marginally better than last year, but this is a performence for Wolves-Everton-West Ham. Not for Chelsea.

Among other things Nc dominated the midfield. We could n't find a way out. Three - four- six successive corners and not unnaturally they found a gap in the end.

I did n't mind them going 2-1 infront, things being what they are nowadays. But the rest was S-H-*-T. Giveaway Mendy +++, Sterling.

Are Chelsea to be relegated ?

I hate this. Ten days without football because of ... Malta.

The ball was not even near the two players or coming towards them, it was moving away rather for a corner kick. The City players would not even raise their arms in protest if it was not given. Yet it is a pen when a foul is committed under such circumstances. But the tv commentators said Haaland fouled Cucurella first.

This takes as back to the silly idea of the European superleague. That was stupid. But I am in favour of this: Reduce the teams to 16 or 17 in England, rest of Europe and make cl-europa leagues into a mini league. Stage of 16 should be a mini league.

He could have easily overlooked that pen as it was off the ball. After Thiago's clearance the ball was probably inches from crossing the goal line when Cucu and Haaland came into contact. But it was no pen either. Haaland fouled first.

The pep team is the biggest in the world. One has to admit that. But they count 1 european championship to Chelsea's two.

How could that hurt him ?

Mount was great up until the champions league final of 2021. In the euro matches that followed he was the worst player of the tournament, subsequently totally extinguished. Too many pizzas or what ?

As long as we can beat the likes of Nottingham Forest and Luton

Gusto should have scored when it was 3 all. That's where the win was lost.

Chelsea 4 - pep team + friend 4. Good match.

Haaland with his b***dy a*se.

Taylor is doing what he can.

Taylor time.

Spurs are c*nts.

Newcastle and Manure bite the dust.

United shine in Europe again.

I wonder what might have happened if Caicedo's goal counted. Romero not sent off ? Would we have won ?

In the first half we made defensive mistakes. The cost was one goal against us and one narrowly escaped thanks to VAR. Yet we gradually assumed control and equalised with 11 of them on the pitch. The second half was a comedy of errors. The final 4-1 does not represent reality. Jackson's hattrick was easy tap ins and should have been hateight tap ins - he missed the five.

Was n't he demoted to the Isthmian ?

Well Jackson could have been a lucky strike of the summer transfer market. He is not proving himself so far but he is not a Lukaku case to sink the club.

You also missed the fact that Enzo was the worst player on the pitch. He was not imjured, I don't know about ill or something. Pochettino ought to have subbed him before he did.
