We also seem to have maintained the Hazard playstyle and mentality; the players still pass it off to the wingers and expect them to perform magic while the rest of them stand and watch. We need to play as a team

I've seen this too many times where Barkley will play well in the cups and will be absolutely abysmal in his "reward" game

In other words, Ruben is like Nikola / TSLA stock

We have to be the team which takes the longest to close transfer deals in the world. The deal was apparently closed 3 weeks ago

I think chelsea fans have patience to play at a top level, but we aren't even playing "OK". We barely beat Brighton and was a very ugly win. We didn't even have more than 1 solid chance against Liverpool when Leeds had 5-6. Lampard doesn't know how he wants to play and its obvious; we have zero attacking plays, it's just a matter of individual talent creating things occasionally when opportunities present themselves. Even much weaker teams in other leagues have a team attack play going about them even if they don't have the individual talent...

Our attack is extremely poor. Very slow and no idea of what to do; still relying on individual talent in every play. It seems we're still in the hazard days even with new signings. I'm very worried and honestly not sure about Lampard as a manager yet for a top club.

If Werner, Havertz, and CHO (if he starts) show up to play, we have a chance but will be a goal festival like last time. Liv is beatable as Leeds has just demonstrated

I noticed that when I click on a thread, it goes to the first page and then I need to manually select the last page. I don't know if this is just me or this is intentional?

He was so good under Sarri Feel like he needs the right manager and system and he can excel

If we want to consider ourselves a big club, and with the players we have, we should be beating Brighton comfortably 2 or 3-0 without being 100% fit which this lineup should have achieved. 100% fitness is really on necessary for games against the top 6-8 and champions league.

We shouldn't need to be 100% to comfortably beat Brighton

I really want to play for Chelsea, it's a life-long dream. Can I be signed as a CM? In all seriousness, Rice is not worth the money and no amount of him wanting to play here justifies such a valuation.

not worth the money at all

The main 3 AFTV contingent also said they think Willian is better than Ziyech - LOL.

Must win game. Pulisic won't start but may come off the bench if needed IMO

Please chelsea, it's my birthday today! Not expecting any major bday presents but announcing Havertz would be great!

My prediction is Havertz official announcement will be next Wednesday

well deserved and happy with that - he deserves the recognition

She is the girl of my dreams

Elated with all potential signings except Chilwell.

Disgrace to pay this much for chillwell who is absolutely nothing special and not pay half of that for reguilon

End of season we got chinced if we're in the battle for top 4 again (or title).

Still better than Stones and Dunk, and is a free transfer so no risk really...

Law works on precedent - obviously it's more complicated than this but the City trial will now be used in all future cases. FFP is officially a joke.

PL proven thing is complete nonsense - PL teams have been doing horribly in european comps the last 10 years. As long as the player is in the top 4 leagues I really don't care. Ziyech, along with some players from the dutch league, are special cases and can see their quality in UCL.
