We can score goals. I am more afraid about the defensive line. If we score 2 away but conceded 3, we are left with no points. And we need to bag three points from that game against Sheffield Utd to increase our chances to qualify for CL. And it will in turn facilitate our transfer market to lure new highly talented players at the best price. Having said that, we should keep a fine balance between experienced players and young talents. We won't be competitive in the short term with a team of 24 years old or less players. Therefore, I won't be against Willian staying with us for 1/2 additional years and buying a 28/30+ very experienced central defender or left back.

Sell Christensen

3-0 against a relegation team. Nothing to be excited about. ManU are 2 points behind.

I would welcome Kai Havertz, but it won't solve our defense. I would prefer instead experienced world class CB and LB, and a new goal keeper as priorities.

Lamp goes again and again to say we are not clinical enough to strike goals. This is true. But main problem is with the defense. When we strike 2 goals at West Ham, results should be 0-2. Not 3-2.

We need experienced players - not a team with most of the players below 24 years old. Willian is of them. Give him another 1 or 2 years contract.

What's the point of buying such a midfield player while our defense is nowhere?

Kepa was terrible. The whole defense is S**t! We absolutely need a CB and goalkeeper

SELL!

In short, if we lost, Manu and Wolves would be 2 points behind us, not yo mention Spurs. I we draw, a mere 3 points. Scary

My view: Players with contract not to be renewed Pedro, Willian Around: 10 $m+ saved per year. Players to sell Batshuayi, Emerson, Barkley, Christensen, Zouma, Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Moses, Drinkwater. Around 120 $m+ as sales values + potentially Jorginho who did not convince to compete at the highest level. Players to buy as priorities Experienced central back and left-back; the new John Terry, or the equivalent of Virgil Van Dijk / Joe Cole. Kai would be welcomed but not at the cost of selling Kante. .

Christian Pulisic is a goal machine. He is only 21 and it is his first year in PL.

It was difficult but we deserved the 3 points.

Man utd, Arsenal, Spurs, and Leicester all dropped some points. We have to win this again game at Villa Park!

We are on a large spending spree with two top attacking players / strikers already been bought: Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. It seems that other top class players will be bought, with highly talented midfield Kai Harvetz as one of our main target. What we are missing is a world class left-back defender I would say. But how good is it to have Chelsea making our ambitions so clear to compete for PL and CL again while other PL and European teams are struggling with finance to hire new players!

Good news

Profits would be for the NHS.

Why do Chelsea do not put on sales mouth masks with our club colors like other europeans clubs? Example: https://www.rsca.be/fr/mouthmasks

Speculation? Likely event I would say. PL is already on hold and we are at the very beginning of the pandemic if I read correctly the statements from Macron, Conte, Merkel with dozens of millions to be infected in the coming months. Hope they are wrong. But I do not believe they are all idiots. Even Trump, who denied for long, has now declared state of emergency.

Thank you. "Last seasons standings", this is also the view of Aulas, the very influential (in France) chairman of Lyon football club. If some other players/managers got infected, this season is definitely void.

I am living in Belgium, here like in France it is lock-down until a least Easter and as from today. Difficult to imagine that England will escape. Wouldn't that be the case, with the PL abandoned, would Chelsea be qualified for the CL next season as we are now 4th? Any thoughts? Thank you!

Watched PSG-Dortmund yesterday. It is really at the top level during CL or WC matches that we can better assess the quality of a player. And I can say that this guy Sancho was pretty average, and well below PSG players. He is nowhere near a valuation of 100£. Maybe 50£ at best.

Giroud, Mount, Pedro, Willian have been immense today!

Instead of splashing 100m on Sancho I would prefer we transfer 1 or 2 class defenders - especially to replace the likes of Alonso/Zouma.

Pedro is on fire.
