As much as I appreciate Jorginho, I really would wish Havertz, Mount, or Werner would step up and take the penalties.

It genuinely felt that the moment Havertz came on, the entire team went full throttle on the press. Jorginho and the wingbacks were pressing forward to an extent we never saw with Lukaku on the pitch.

This.

I’d say he played.

We looked a better team without him.

Just miles a better side with the current front three.

A negative sure, but a positive is that we'll actually have attackers gaining some rhythm and sharpness by playing consecutive matches vs playing one and then dropped the next.

Of course it’s not a red. It’s a Chelsea player.

This season, we are 19th in the league in pressing in the opposition half. Last season, we were Top 5 in Europe.... Our inability to win the ball back and retain it in dangerous areas has reduced our ability to create chances to the extent we saw last season.

Judging from the lineup looks like Tuchel again doesn’t take any opponent in the CL lightly.

I'm also on the boat of not believing we fail to create much because we have one extra CB instead of a midfielder.

Nkunku should be our priority. Especially if both Pulisic and Ziyech leave.

Lukaku has a purpose but unfortunately not a 100 million player purpose.

Robben - 3 seasons. 19 Games missed, 110 days injured. Pulisic - 2.5 seasons. 45 games missed, 335 days injured.

I've read we've earned or will earn £100m in new US sponsors.

Werner started out on fire. It was him being shifted at LW that caused him to stagnate.

Likely to see Lukaku dropped here. I'm sure Tuchel will say he needs a rest, but pretty sure in the back of his mind he wants to see how Werner/Havertz/Mount operates.

I think Newcastle would be worth a shout. With their new money they would also love to expand their reach to the American market.

Not sure but we'd undoubtedly have to sell at a discount. A move back to Germany maybe.

Going from Bundesliga to the Prem is a massive change. He'll need time to adapt.

Needs to be sold.

I swear Palace are brilliant against the rest of the top 6/our rivals but they allow us to roll over them constantly. Bless them. 😂

Gallagher would work well in a midfield three alongside an CAM and traditional holding midfielder.

Have they ever looked comfortable playing with each other?
