To boost revenues in the long-term, we would need a new stadium - when built it would translate into around additional 1million £ per game or 30£m per season (very approximately). Fairly significant anyway. But in the short to medium term, it would mean lack of large cash for transfers since cash will be partially used to pay back loans; as experienced by Arsenal and Spurs. And if it leads to missing champions league, it could turn out as a negative vicious circle. On the other hand, Stanford Bridge is dating, and supporters need better facilities, not to mention that demand for seats is larger than the current offer, which is frustrating for those wanting to attend games but can't do so. Maybe, one option is to start building the new stadium when we have a stable and competitive team for the next 3-5 years or so, leveraging our new talents from the academy, thereby requiring less cash to be invested into new expensive transfers. What we need now is 2/3 very experienced world-class players to strengthen the team. And then we are good. My guess is that this is the strategy of the Board. At least I hope so.

Come on guys, Reece James was pretty good during that game - check player ratings as case in point, and do not forget CHO is 19 and just back from serious injury. Be patient.

It could have been better. But we had ball possession and most important... we won! That was not a ripp-off. Lamps has made a crucial tactical change: credit to him. Some of lads are (very) young and need time to learn. Some are injured, like RLC. Maybe we are sometimes too emotional here. After all, we are in 4th position in the league after selling Hazard banned from any transfer. Looking forward, we have that transfer window to buy top-class experienced players. 2/3 would be enough. Come on CHELSEA!

Yes, of course. Red Card.

Should be red card for Son.

F*** you Spuds. 0-2!

Incredible from the goalkeeper. Red card. Straight. And Penalty!

Can't stand these spuds. We are far better on the pitch.

Alli should have been shown the red card. Period. B*/

Same for Alonso.

Mount is nowhere. Should not be on the pitch.

yeah 2 -nil. but tbh Pulisic is really good.

Christensen and Zouma are not good enough. Weeks after weeks. Second goad was comical. We need to buy at least one TOP world-class and experienced defender in the January transfer window - if that's possible.

What a joke this third goal from Everton`; Kepa and especially Zouma at fault? Just unacceptable.

`we are not good.

Just start watching, 70 m. and it is 0-2 against WH fighting against relegation ???? Can't believe it.

Good selection.

What a **** this KDB.

Or loss at Valencia and we are likely out.

Alonso is a liability: cannot defend and cannot make a cross. Take him off.

It will be difficult for us to qualify for next stage. Ajax and Valencia are the best positioned.

3 points, clean sheet. I am happy. Real test will be in Amsterdam next week.

On another note: 9 goals so far from Abraham and we are early in October... and he just turned 22. A friend in Italy - fan of AS Roma - told me that he heard about him as a goal-scorer.

Excellent assist from Puli.

I understand Lampard. We need a fine balance between young and experienced players. Willian is one experienced player - from which the young players can learn - and he was also a top performer recently.
