What's the update on his injury?

But if his preference was a ball playing CB over someone who can actually defend, then surely puyol would have been out. It's not as if pep was shy of making changes. He threw Yaya out of the team for a very very young and unproven busquets. If puyol was not his type of player, then surely he would have gotten the same treatment Regarding city, Laporte is not as good a ball playing defender as stones, but is definitely a better defender than stones. As far as I see it, pep is playing his 2 worst ball playing defenders in kompany and Laporte over stones and otamendi. And that would not happen if he just chose defender on their "ball playing" ability rather than actual defending.

Puyol was a mainstay of the pep pepe Barca. His captain. And I have never heard anyone say that puyol was not good at defending. Even these days he has kompany playing while stones is warming his ass on the bench.

Given how our whole defense used to boot the ball up under Jose and Conte, and how nervous we looked whenever the defense had the ball, I would have said the same about our whole defense. That is what sarri is there to do, teach zouma how to play out the back. Why is tomori not ready? Does he let his man run freely into the box to score? No? Then he is more ready than this piece of shit.

Every time tubby takes the pitch, he gives 10 more reasons why we should not buy him

Is not Leno their no.1? Why would Emery risk their El final playing cech?

All talk, no show. What an abysmal last home performance.

Saying he is our best defender does not make it true. You can shout it off the rooftops and would do fuck all. He is a pathetic defender. Always has a mistake in him which sets the team back massively in every which way. Needs to fuck off.

Why can't I seem to get excited. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that we are in the finals, but fuck me, that was shit. Don't know if we "deserve" or not, but hell, just so fucked up. We were poor. No other way to describe it. And it's got nothing to do with the manager or his tactics or his substitutions. We just have so many bang average players. We need a proper clear out. And if sarri does not think that, then fuck him off too. We lacked desire, we lacked urgency, we lacked passion. And we lack the talent. Kepa - good performance. Assured. Could not do much for the goal. Good penalty saves. 9/10 Emerson - I think he had a good game. Not great but a good outing. Defended well, attacked okay. Crosses need to be worked on, but he has shown enough in the 2nd half of the season to get a ticket to the next season. 7/10 Luiz - pathetic. Abysmal. This twat needs to fuck off. If we give him an extension for next season, then I am sarriout from day 1. Fucking prick. Can't believe he is considered a top class defender. 0/10 Andreas - he was having a good game till he got injured. Hopefully nothing long term or serious though. Want him to be fit for the final. 8/10 Azpi - a Captain's performance. We all know his strengths and weaknesses. Yes, he is poor in attack, but he defended brilliantly. 8/10 Jorgingo - MoTM performance for me. The guy was everywhere. I am not a fan of his, but in the last 4/5 games, he has been absolutely magnificent. Hardly put a foot wrong. With a decent striker could have had an assist. Won the ball countless number of times.10/10 Kovacic - lesser said the better. Provides nothing. Absolutely nothing. Waste of space, waste of a position. Another one where I will say, if we have him in the squad next season - sarriout (spoiler alert, won't be the last time) 2/10 RLC - was great again. He is throwing egg on all of those "fans'" faces who thought he was just bang average. He always had the talent, just needed a manager to unlock the potential. Keep it up lad. 8/10 Willian - a great run towards the start, good defensive work and a number of wtf moments. Well in a nutshell, his Chelsea career. Always a feeling of can do better. 6/10 Giroud- tried his best. Good shot towards the end, but all in all, not good enough. If we aim to be PL champions, he can't be our no.1 striker. 5/10 Hazard - for someone playing his last home match, that was just pathetic. Hardly got on the ball. Hardly defended. Hell, if willian had put in that performance, I am sure some of the fans would have been burning his effigies. Really really poor. Not just by "hazard standards" but just by any winger standards. 4/10 Pedro - a decent outing. We all know he is just another "not good enough" but at least he showed some urgency. 6/10 Zappa - I was dreading everything from the moment he came in, but surprisingly a decent performance. Got in a couple of shots. Defended well. Crossing was pathetic though, given that he got into some great positions. 7/10 Barkley - can't fault the effort, but will fault the talent. Lacks the drive, goal threat that RLC provides. Not bad but just not great. But will be a decent squad option for next season. 6/10 Tubby - outrageously pathetic. I mean that pass when we were 5 on 2. First of all what the fuck was hazard thinking passing the ball to this piece of fat shit. And then that cross. I was fucking fuming. Defining moment was when we got a corner late on in the 2nd et, and the ball just went up in the air and this asshole did not even try to ruffle up the defender. Just pathetic. And to think people were booing sarri for not bringing him in. Like seriously? Another player who if he stays, sarriout. I mean this fat fuck is beyond useless. 0/10 I just hope we can win the EL, and end this season on a high, the alternative is both the other London clubs winning a European trophy

That 5 on 2 moment defines us. Bull shit

This twat, this fucking asshole, this mother fucker needs to fuck out of the club right now. This assholic baboon, needs to be checked for match fixing too cause I don't believe that a professional footballer is capable of that moment. I just hope to God we kick his ass out. And for good this time. No extension. Not even for a freaking day. Fucking cunt.

Ya. Luiz deserves a contract. Lol. Cunt.

Willian had that brilliant run which should have resulted in a goal or a penalty for RLC. He is being far more involved than Eden, be it in closing down, defensive work or attacking runs.

Really good first half. Just keep up the focus and concentration. Please no 2nd half capitulation. Come on Chelsea

Keep it up lad. Keep proving the doubters wrong... 👏👏

5 cm taller than Trent Alexander arnold

For rb, I would rather trust James. The lad deserves a shot atleast. Also, I personally would take a 30mil hit for willian and keep him another season, while selling Pedro who has been beyond pathetic in my opinion . Sure he scores a goal here or there, but overall just pathetic. As for CBs, I am not pressing the panic button. We have Rudi, Andreas (who has a mistake in him but is still better than Luiz who somehow gets a free ride from the fans), zouma, ampadu, tomori. So we have the talent, just need to translate that on the pitch. A jorgingo back up is a must though, 1/2 world class strikers as well as a LB.

Not yet. But an appeal to CAS is inevitable who might freeze the ban till the hearing and decision happens. So we might get the window.

We better win this one.

🤮🤮🤮

I cant understand the 1 or 2 player quote from sarri. Is it WITH the current crop of players (Eden,Luiz, kova, higuain) included or excluded?

Is it just me, or is our movement much much better than what it is these days. Honestly speaking I don't see much movement when we play, no runs in the box, pretty pedestrian.

"he did allow jovic to score" 😂😂 Luiz was ball watching, kepa should have stopped it, but apparently Andreas "allowed" jovic to score.

Why do people keep saying "luck". Liverpool were not lucky in this tie. If anything they were unlucky to lose 3-0 to Barca. Should have been 4-2 ish. They outplayed Barca without salah and firmino, let that sink in. A front 3 of shaqiri, mane and fucking origi. A mid 3 of Henderson, fabinho, milner. If I said that a team of that front 6 was in the finals of CL beating Bayern and Barca, along with having 94 freaking points in PL, people would have laughed at me and booked a one way ticket to a fucking asylum. Klopp has done WONDERS, with this team.

I am not saying that we should buy higuain. Tubby has hardly done anything to be bought, no matter if sarri stays and throws all the toys out of his pram like Conte over the transfer. BUT, bringing morata back is hardly any better. Another bang average footballer and most importantly a bang average footballer who does not even want to play for the club. Michy showed far more in his half a season with bvb about leading a line ALONE than morata has in his whole career.
