We dont seem to have a thread we can post GENERAL Chelsea stuff that doesn't fit in the normal pigeonholes So thought I'd stick this here but dont get excited I cant ever see us signing the lad now!! Mum's word Chelsea missed out on PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe aged 13… for this incredible reason https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/transfers/422386/chelsea-missed-out-on-psg-superstar-kylian-mbappe-aged-13-for-this-incredible-reason/ We could have had him if not for this ffs!!! Kylian Mbappe may be an asset to both Paris Saint-Germain and France, but he could have been one for Chelsea if his Mum had allowed him a second trial there. The 19-year-old was invited to Chelsea for a trial six years ago, where he impressed, but the Blues requested that he came back for a second trial, which did not sit well with the young star’s decision maker.

Was sloppy in places but personally thought we were better in 1st half/ Tho we were different in the 2nd. I only have a dig at him when he deserves it/ and you have to agree that hes not the sharpest tool in the box defensively. He seemed more together than some games but he still seems to be out of place when we actually need some strong defensive discipline. You must agree that we were a better attacking force with Giroo. I really dont understand Moratas problem as he should be a very good striker. It can't all be psychological. Thought he did play well and unlucky not to get on the scoresheet but he missed so many chances mate. We have this current habbit of if Willian starts he normally misses chances then Pedro comes on and scores. IMHO we need to upgrade the RW Need to get Bailey STAT! Agree with all but while I think he has got better at trying to get the ball back I'm thinking its the best that he is going to be at it. I think Sarri is probably right saying hes better staying forward more I also think that we get the best out of him when he gets off the leash and let him play his matural game but that also includes that he likes dropping back to pick the ball up so its a tough one. I agree mate I dont know what it is with him. Its like hes got the same problem Morata has. I wouldn't mind giving him a go on RW.

That there is our stumbling block BUT we have shown we WILL step up for the right player. And IF we get into the top 4 the extra money will be handy of course. Chopping down all the dead wood would go towards it in a big way only another problem being we will also need to be replacing some 30+ and paying for Kovacic What we need - 3 upgrades to put us to be pushing for Europe? It CAN be done. Specially as we are playing progressive attacking football which any good player would want to be part of. IF we put on a good fight this season it will go such a long way of removing the images of us and buses from a lot of peeps/players heads. I'm enthusiastic about us mate.

Aleksandar Mitrovic emerges as Chelsea target? https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/chelsea/transfer-talk/news/mitrovic-emerges-as-chelsea-target_335539.html Aleksandar Mitrovic’s current form stands up alongside any striker in world football Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored more goals than anyone in England's top four divisions since joining Fulham in February https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/news-gossip/421637/aleksandar-mitrovic-fulham-serbia/

I get what hes saying but the thing is he likes dropping back to pick the ball up

Must be more aerodynamic than a rock eh lol Well at least the team shouldn't have any trouble in beating these but as we know any team are handy on the day. But I can see it a great chance to use our youth and bench warmers. Both RLC AND Cescy might be injured then if so bring in Kova Morata CHO - Barkles - RLC - Willian Ethan Emerson 0 AC - Cahill * - Zappa Bukka * Tho it might be good to play Rudi with AC to get their partnership going

With Dave getting the armband today does that mean he's made his mind up? Not seen owt about it. On another note apart from it being the fuckin Pikeys I do so desperately want us to stuff Wet Spam just for Sarri. Theres only been 4 managers upto now who have won their first 5 games ans as the press love to point out Pep and of course Carlo with us when we went on to do the League and the FA cup double. (It really irked me I must say when he was sacked. It was when I realized just how ruthless Roman was.) I would love for him to at least get 6 to tie with Pep and Carlo ffs. Then the scouse gits would be the dogs dangleys! Can you dig it!!!! As Cyrus would say on the Warriors!

Was a shame he didn't get the assist for Willians goal as he did a good job but not sure Willian would have got the ball without that deflection eh Chelsea star Marcos Alonso makes hilarious fantasy football jibe following Cardiff City win Spaniard was not happy with the Fantasy Premier League after the win over Cardiff https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/players/chelsea-star-marcos-alonso-makes-15157828

Awww poor T'Boa Video: Thibaut Courtois all at sea as Real Madrid concede and these Chelsea fans are loving it https://www.caughtoffside.com/2018/09/15/thibaut-courtois-real-madrid-video-chelsea-fans-mock-goalkeeper/ Thibaut Courtois did not cover himself in glory here as Athletic Bilbao took a 1-0 lead over Real Madrid in tonight’s La Liga clash. The Belgian was all at sea as he came rushing out of goal, with the ball eventually bundling its way past him into the penalty area for Bilbao to score into an empty net. POST MATCH INTERVIEW

I know that I've changed immensely. I know I could be a horrible fucker at times in my past but allot of travel and the love of a good woman soothes a savage beast. Not saying I couldn't still be one but would need to be something very personal to bring it out. Vinny - in his film persona - always seems to have his nasty man just under the surface and have known lads like that - that you just dont know when they would crack. Nice to have them have your back but you wouldn't give them a call to go for a few beers with ya. Seems to have 5 or 6 movies to be released so will see if his character changes JUST now downloaded a new series he did this year - Deception. Think he helps a magician do his tricks but not sure.Buut from the trailer hes looking like a loud angry Londoner for a change lol Will let ya know.

Lad had a great day. HAS to be the starter now. Thought he had twisted his testimonials when he did his splits assist! Great partnnership with Eden and amazing comment to get from him. "He's a targetman, maybe the best in the world. I think so. When he gets the ball, he can hold it and we can go with him. "For us, he's a player to play with. When Alvaro was playing it is completely different, he's a different player with different qualities, and it's good to have two good strikers in the team."

What a game eh! Mate phoned me at 12 to say his mate couldn't make it did I want to go! 15 minutes later I'm out the door lol Their goal just should not have happened but it showed that yes we have it in us to come back from being down. Is that the 1st time in yonks we have gone in at half time up after being down? And we might give Willian some grief (in one way he deserves it) but Sarris trick of using him and his fresh legs is working well. Whichever starts between Pedro or Willian bringing the other on later has worked each time. Thought we (supporters) were quiet a lot of the game tho. Didn't like that. Never ever expected us to be top of the league even this early and by 1 goal. Just 1 fight at a time guys. I think we shall have some battles coming up. Might get bloody!

Eden had a truly blinding game. 1st hattrick since the Newcastle game 2014 - Hes got to be pleased about that. Whatever Sarri is doing to the team and how he is treating the lads is obviously paying off. I'm normally wanting to see the cheeky chappy come out thats full of swag as you can normally expect him to be on game but I haven't seen that side of him come out on match days. He has got this straight faced all down for business attitude and it's working. The partnership he has with Giroo worked great today. Lets hope Sarri liked it too. With everything seemingly going perfect for Eden work wise I don't understand his unwillingness to put pen to paper. I hope it means something g to him that he could be standing alongside JT and Ossie one day And its not every one who Magic Box gives a bow to.

ffs how did he not save that!?

Yep. I'm not one for wishing bad luck to players but I wouldn't mind it being a physical game lol

Maurizio Sarri opens up on his astonishing attention to detail as he bids to improve Chelsea https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/maurizio-sarri-chelsea-cardiff-city-premier-league-table-latest-a8538051.html?utm_source=reddit.com Sarri has revealed he spent around 13 hours a day during the international break watching videos of Chelsea's opponents in action “We have to play seven matches in 23 days, so I had to work,” he said. “I have seen a lot of matches, of Cardiff and PAOK, West Ham and Liverpool, so I had to work. “Sometimes I’m working at the training ground, sometimes at my home. “They were long days. But, for me, it's a pleasure. I am not able to think about this as a job, like work. It's 12 or 13 hours, but for me it's not working.” “For the moment, I'm really very happy to stay here,” he added. “I have my dog here with a very big garden, so the dog is very happy. I'm really very happy. I feel like at home. I feel in my home. “I have a house five miles from here, no more. It’s in Surrey, similar to my name.” You get the feeling Sarri is here for the long run.

I know mate and I'm with ya. It's just I ranted about us signing Telles and Fekir and still want them/ I;m stubborn lol

I'm finding myself getting panic attacks after actually wanting a north London club winning today! Would be nice to see the scouse gits lose.

Can't stay away can he mate

hahaha Arsenal news: Chelsea legend Drogba used to give ex-Gunners star PANIC ATTACKS - Gallas ARSENAL'S former captain William Gallas has revealed how Didier Drogba used to send Phillipe Senderos into meltdown when Chelsea came to town. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/729825/Arsenal-Chelsea-Didier-Drogba-Senderos-Gallas-news

Chelsea: Sarri, Jorginho moulding Antonio Rudiger for a long-desired role https://theprideoflondon.com/2018/09/15/chelsea-antonio-rudiger-maurizio-sarri-jorginho/ As Chelsea buy into Sarrismo more and more, it’s becoming clear Sarri sees Rudiger filling a role similar Kalidou Koulibaly’s at Napoli. It’s a stretch, but after multiple transfer windows of bidding on Koulibaly, Chelsea may have found their own version for a fraction of the price in Rudiger. If he can become even 90% of the player Koulibaly was for Sarri at Napoli, Chelsea will be one step closer to returning to their rightful place among the world’s elite clubs.

Accountant to the end lol But I know how he feels. I've never felt easy after the international breaks. Today WILL be different!!! Sarri working 12-hour days as Chelsea face 7 games in 23 days Work work work work play with dog work work work https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2018/9/15/17863346/sarri-working-12-hour-days-as-chelsea-face-7-games-in-23-days “I remember in my first season in Naples, the average points per match during the season was 2.28, I think. But the average after the international break was only 1.31 or 1.32. “So I know that the matches after the break are very, very difficult. Fortunately in the last season, the average was the same: 2.4 in the season, 2.45 after the break. Only because after the first season the players understood the difficulty of this kind of match. “I’m trying to stress this number to my players. Just telling them this number. My experience in this situation.”

Kante: Ready to kick on https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2018/9/15/kante--ready-to-kick-on Yes, I enjoy it,’ he acknowledged. ‘It’s a new system and I enjoy being in this position, to get into the box and to get back and defend sometimes as well. It depends on the game but I enjoy the position. Sometimes you need to keep the balance and to get back and stay with the opposing midfielder. It’s one thing to move forward but it depends on the situation. It’s a new system, 4-3-3, and we need to use Jorginho a lot,’ said Kante. ‘I think he is a good player with the ability to make the play in behind and find the players in front. At the moment it’s working very well and we hope to keep going in this way. ‘I think he’s very talented. When you give him the ball he’s able to keep calm and find good passes. He also understands the way the manager wants us to play so to have him is a big advantage.’
