What's happening with Kai? Why is he unfit? Bit surprising for a player we bought for £75m+

We have largely overpaid players like Werner or Kai Havertz. 80 or 90 millions £ for the latter, while he is worth 30$ at best, what a waste of money. Germans keep laughing at the top-off. Same for Werner. Bang average player for mid-table Bundesliga team. Overall, Pathetic performance again today. But Lampard is not a manager for the PL right? Maybe French league 2.

Jorginho should not be in this team / he is a very average player.

We can play for hours that way before there is decent ball for Giroud.

We absolutely need to win that game against Villa. Actually the next 3 games will be crucial - Villa, Leicester, and City. Tuchel is free and prepared to take over according to German Bild. Pressure is huge on our manager. Frank is right to say we lacked energy against Arsenal. Our team ran 4 km less than Arsenal. It says a lot. But he was at fault to play unfit James and Chilwell, play Werner out of position, and ignore CHO and Giroud. If that run continues that way, because he can't fix it, with that kind of pathetic play against Arsenal, we will be destroyed by Atletico Madrid in CL and be mid-table PL team. Come on Blues! Let's win against Villa!

Aweful so far. How many shots on target? 1-0 down against relegation team after 41 minutes. That's insane.

We should not under-estimate Rennes. Make not mistake. They have a good team and they are 3rd in Ligue 1.

Great performance. Edouard, Thiago and Ben have fixed our defense. I do not see Kepa coming back ever. Come on Chelsea!

Edouard made a great save against MU after 2 or 3 minutes of play. With Kepa as GK, it would have been 1-0. Edouard made a great save against Krasnodar after 2-3 minutes of play. With Kepa as GK, it would have been 1-0. He made additional good saves, including one world-class against Krasnodar, flipping the ball against the cross-bar. It says a lot about the importance of having a good GK. Game changer. Hopefully, he won't get injured. I do not want to see Kepa as GK any time soon.

Clear penalty on Azpi. Period.

Obvious penalty.

Agree. But still, with Kepa as KG its one or 2 howlers every game that leads to a goal. Enough is enough.

I said yesterday that Kepa was not at fault. Looking again at the game, I have changed my mind. First goal, he could have done better if he was a very good GK. And he didn't. Second goal, massive howler from Kepa for sure. Back-pass from Zouma was extremely poor but he messed up, that second goal should have never happened. Third goal: was he sleepy? A good GK would have managed that. I have enough of Kepa!

I can't hardly blame Kepa for once. We have been dominated by large during second half. Mid-field was nowhere and defense is just shambles.

Lampard is responsible for this S***t performance. He is not a real coach after all.

Can't really blame Kepa here. Defense is shambles. Saints dominating 3/4 of the second half is just not acceptable.

Pls, keep CHO. Sell or loan out instead RLC, Rudiger, Alonso, Palmieri,

Jorginho is not world-class but I hope we won't sell him or loan it out. We will have many games to play this season, almost 2 games a week on average and we'll need him to rotate with Kovacic, Kanté, and if injuries the situation could be worst. Instead loan out RLC.

In my opinion, Kai played very well against a mid-table team like Chrystal Palace; indeed he needs to adapt to PL, his teammates, and it remains to be seen how he will perform against top clubs, but he can only improve over time. I am not worried at all. Fantastic player.

Substitute Alonso and brings on Giroud in place of Abraham who missed sitters/ Anyway we have lost more than likely that game and we are now 6 points behind after only 3 league games.

Pochenitto is available for free.

I always thought it was down to Kepa. Actually not.

3-0 after 27 minutes...

What did you expect from a 36 old CD and a 38 GK + Alonso.

yellow card now for Alonso after 8m. Substitute him. Can't be worst!
