lol

before the team was picked, I said I hope Azpi is rested he is ageing Reece is young I stand by that logic

ah, oki, I had forgotten that

he is in the unofficial doghouse ever since he left and went to the bus during the game

shows you how much Alonso burnt his bridges

wish Frank had rested Azpi and played Reece, and played Tomori over Zouma hopefully Giroud gets a nice run in the 2nd half, he is a big time European cup player

a pre injury form Rudiger is easily our second best CB after Thiago the question is will he ever get back to that form Zouma is shit no matter what I have been consistent in this stance I did give him a big cahnce held my tongue for months he did not perform he is dregs when you look at a long run of games I have almost no fear I will not be proven to be right, no matter how much stick I get on the board people can disagree, it is their basic right AC is meh, but not a complete disaster (but still needs to be sold) I also was amongst the first to call for selling Kante I am deffo being shown to be prescient there as well I have nothing against Zouma and Kante as people at all they simple are not the players to carry us forward they are both so weak on the ball and with passing, plus Zouma is far too often out of position

Azpi needs to rest, he really is rapidly ageing Reece is young and can run forever the rest I am fine with

Thiago is far from shit, and I think Tomori has enough potential to make him worth keeping. I also think Rudiger can rebound. Zouma and AC need to be sold ASAP, especially Zouma. If Rudiger cannot rebound, then he needs to go ASAP as well.

Mason Mount a victim of the lack of live fans as cowardly trolls swoop Wednesday October 28 2020 Matt Law's Chelsea briefing Mason Mount is one of Chelsea’s own - the fans, along with the club, have a responsibility to look after him By Matt Law, Football News Correspondent Pre-Covid, the online trolls were just that, online trolls. But with no football fans inside stadiums, the opinions of those who like to use social media to abuse and ridicule have, unfortunately, become harder to block out. Which brings this column around to Mason Mount, a player the majority of Chelsea fans admire and cherish, given he has been at the club’s academy since the age of six. The support he received from the Stamford Bridge stands would have been more than enough to drown out the so-called supporters, who hide behind their laptops and direct hatred towards the 21-year-old on Twitter. But with every week that passes and stadiums remain shut, the backing from the stands becomes harder and harder for footballers to recall, particularly young ones who are still in the early stages of their senior careers. Just think, for instance, how Mount’s superb free-kick goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers that helped to clinch Champions League qualification would have been received at the end of last season? It would no doubt have been one of his career highlights, but those moments are easier for the trolls to drown out, when there were no fans inside the stadium to recall the celebrations. Mount is in danger of becoming a victim of the lack of live fans, as the online trolls attempt to seize their moment. Still aged only 21, he made a total of 53 appearances for Chelsea in his first season as a senior player for the club, scored eight goals, one of which came in the FA Cup semi-final success against Manchester United, and he was rewarded with international recognition. The statistics-based website whoscored.com also included Mount in an under-21 team of the season based on players’ average ratings, with only five players of his age-range scoring better than him. Mount was recently rewarded with international recognition aged only 21 Mount was perhaps the player Lampard leaned on most for much of last term, playing him in several different positions and barely giving him a rest, so it is perhaps no surprise that he has yet to produce his best form this season. Nobody, especially Lampard and Mount, expect anybody to be given a free pass at Chelsea and they will accept constructive criticism over where he has been asked to play and some of his performances. But Mount, just like Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur, Jack Grealish at Aston Villa, Trent Alexander-Arnold at Liverpool and Phil Foden at Manchester City, is one of Chelsea’s own, and the fans, together with the club, have a responsibility to look after him. It was with genuine horror that this correspondent read through some of the replies to Chelsea’s Twitter account teasing the announcement of the team for Saturday’s game against Manchester United. This column will not give the trolls any further oxygen by repeating any of the messages, but one could only hope that Mount and his family were far too focussed on the forthcoming game to be scrolling down Twitter or typing in a search on his name. Mount and his family will no doubt realise that most of the supporters who will flood back into Stamford Bridge when coronavirus guidelines allow it and those who make weekly sacrifices to their personal lives to tune in from overseas remain fully behind the midfielder. But the abuse is not going unnoticed, as Lampard himself made reference to the accusations that Mount is in some way his favourite by relating it to his own experiences at West Ham United when Harry Redknapp was famously forced to defend his nephew at a fans’ forum. Sitting in front of a room full of middle-aged men, supping pints of lager in their ill-fitting leisure wear, questioning his selection cannot have been easy for Lampard and yet Redknapp was able to shout back them, unlike the faceless cowards who are sitting in front of their screens to target Mount. And not one of them will be brave enough to make themselves known the next time Mount comes up with a vital goal. As ever, feel free to get in touch at @Matt_Law_DT or via [email protected].

I truly have to believe that, at this point, you are just having a laugh Kante's passing is now amongst the worst I have ever seen for a regularly starting MF'er for us no clue what happened, but he is a black hole offensively 95% of the time the Kante defenders are like abused spouses, they just keep coming back for more as they think their love can change things, even though most weeks they are just getting the shit kicked out of them Zouma too, he is even worse tan Kante at on the ball play Kante is soon 30yo (around 5 months), and we will (if we even sell him), end up getting probably close to £100m (£80m less for sure) less than we could have at peak value no sale in 2021 equals FOR SURE we get £100m less we desperately need 2 WC CB's (Thiago cannot go on forever as magnificent as he is, even at 36) and a WC DMF IF Zakaria is as badly wrecked as one of the posters here claims, then we are down to Rice as the only truly top traditional DMF option out there he will cost damn near 80m, 70m if we are lucky add in the two CB's, we are looking at another £200m+ spend and that doesn't even address a great roamer type DMF (in my dreams Camavinga) for a double pivot, nor a CMF (Camavinga can play there as well, so he is a two-fer, yet another reason I LOVE the lad) BUT our dregs to sell are either rapidly ageing out, or contracts are winding down, or both, so money is going to be tight unless Roman just says FUCK FFP, FOAD UEFA

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's conundrum as Man Utd boss prepares for Julian Nagelsmann battle After victory against Paris Saint-Germain and a drab weekend draw against Chelsea, a defining period in Manchester United's season continues with the visit of RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-news-solskjaer-nagelsmann-22907951
