I am a Benfica fan today. I would like to cheer for the Czech team, but I don't think they have anything for Leicester.

I think Tuchel is going to find a way to have Silva and Christensen together. I think Christensen is starting to show he can handle the role everyone always thought he would achieve.

I would love to see that. Man Utd does not do well without Bruno.

It also has to do with how well a keeper is communicating with the defenders. Players have said Mendy is very vocal in goal.

We need a win against Man Utd very badly. I have two friends that are Man Utd fans....I cannot take the abuse I took with the Arsenal loss again. My emotional budget is spent. I do not care how we win. it just needs to happen!

Me so happy

Come on Puli and Kai

Yesssssssse

It was beautiful

Come on....

403 passes in the first half with 88% accuracy....would have been nice if the ones that would count for something got there.

Game day!! I am pumped. A couple weeks ago I was looking forward to this game like it was a trip to the dentist office. Now, I think we can come out of it in a good position for the second leg. No idea what will happen, but there is at least hope!

That was a beautiful goal by Mateta.

I want to see him stay.

This one is at least laid out in a way that could make sense. Pulisic to Bayern to fund new transfers. https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2021/02/22/pulisic-bayern-munich-transfer-news-Chelsea/

I have no words.....

I am really looking forward to this. I really think we can compete. I don't think we can dominate, but this is a match people can raise their game.

This story keeps picking up more headlines. Now Bayen are openly talking about if they can afford it with the losses due to Covid they want to extend his contract. New reports we have opened talks to acquire him for £30M. A lot of smoke surrounding this rumor. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/02/21/Chelsea-in-niklas-sule-transfer-talks-with-bayern-munich/

CHO swap and cash for Sancho and Haaland. I think people just get high and dream this stuff up. https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/report-Chelsea-could-offer-hudson-odoi-as-part-of-potential-deal-for-haaland-and-sancho/

The replies on that tweet make it look like all football fans are mentally ill. Twitter is nice to follow the journalist that cover Chelsea....those replies tho!!

These recent Lampard Tuchel comparisons and jabs at each other’s opinions make it obvious the discussion board would have been no different than Shed End was had the TalkChelsea been up. I support Chelsea. When Frank was manager I supported him to win games. Now that Tuchel is in charge, I will support him to win games. It doesn't mean either man is above criticism, it also doesn't mean either man needs to be demonized. It was always going to be the case Frank was learning on the job, it didn't happen fast enough. Tuchel is more experienced and it better be obvious that he is. If he cannot take this squad and make top 4, I think he will be gone. It is going to be a bumpy ride to the end of the season. I like what I see so far, but recognize it could go south fast. It is going to be an interesting 2 momths.

A lot of us played Soccer at a pretty high level in America. Also had our children go on to play at club teams. Even more coach soccer. What an absolutely dumb thing to say. I don’t share his thoughts on Tuchel, but your assumption that Americans don’t understand soccer is childish.

If Tuchel was telling him to do something and CHO was not doing it, put him back on the bench.

I don’t think he was saying CHO will forget, I think he was saying he will let it go and back to training without holding this against CHO. If CHO wants to give up his position... next man up.

“Gimenez's injury is the latest blow for Atletico, with Belgian star Yannick Carrasco also a doubt for the clash against Chelsea.”
