These kids have consistently shown how inconsistent they can play.

End of the day, we got a point and all the teams close to us lost. I'll take it. And hope for better play.

Time to sign some talent.

We have looked solid this game. Need another goal.

Happy New years everyone.

Young team after bringing in the New Year! 🤷‍♂️

It is difficult to tell if The Sun is speculating the contract in January for Sancho with a loan back like the Pulisic deal, or if they are saying that scenario is being discussed by both teams? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10602563/jadon-sancho-chelsea-man-utd-liverpool-120m/

Vesper beat me to it!

Nooooooo Lampard remains confident in his current defensive cohort after a mixed start to his first season as a Premier League boss, in particular Fikayo Tomori. Despite that, there are two things that are directly influencing the ex-England midfielder’s plans, which are the fitness of Antonio Rudiger and the desire of Andreas Christensen to fight for his spot. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1222720/Chelsea-transfer-news-Frank-Lampard-Nathan-Ake-Bournemouth-Tomori-Rudiger-Christensen/amp

Right now I would be happy with Werner and two defensive players better than what we have. I don't look at Werner to challange Tammy, but we cant expect Tammy to play every PL, FA, and CL game. I would like to see the Sancho deal, but Dortmund is expecting stupid money.

Thank you Jorginho. We looked horrific, Jorginho comes on and we look much much better. A win headed into the transfer window. Please buy players that can add to the team this year.

Pre-game coverage in the US has the commentors picking Chelsea to win. Feck, they are never correct.

We have been in a real bizarro world with our team for the last month. Players with key injuries, line ups that don't make sense, formations, and no fecking plan of attack in the final third. I'm trying to keep the faith, but it is not easy.

How many top players will want to come when they see shit show after shit show?

I am shocked CHO started when he has shown nothing lately on the pitch.

We are awfully close to signatures being put on paper, and yet no clear agreements. Who do you think is really going to happen? I believe the Werner deal happens.

CHO needs to show some form as a sub before occupying a starting position.

Very happy with the result. I hope it is the start of a good run to come.

Mount for Bale? Some of these rumors are a bit wild, but what do I know what these people actually discuss behind the scenes. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/12/18/chelsea-transfer-news-bale-for-mount-swap-deal/

Jose is doing some talking about Chelsea. https://www.legit.ng/1285595-jose-mourinho-spurs-boss-taunts-chelsea-subtle-attack-lampard-youngs-squad.html

I am reading from several sources that ManU is willing to pay 120M for Sancho? Just please, No Neymar.

I guess the grass isn't greener in Spain. It would seem his managers comment that Hazard needs Real Madrid to bring out his full potential missed the mark.

There is nothing to give me hope lately, but teams do often have a bounce back. We need a bounce. Spurs have shown they can have bad games.

According to an exclusive from 90min.com, Chelsea are looking to bring in another striker in January and have target Bordeaux’s English-born Nigerian striker Josh Maja. Maja broke through at Sunderland before making the surprising move to France last season. He’s been impressive but tends to be used as a sub rather than a starter, which could explain why he’s only scored seven goals in 22 games. The report indicates that Chelsea have been impressed with Maja when they’ve watched him this season, to the point they are considering making a move for him in January to act as the new back up to Abraham. There’s no mention of how much he might cost at this point, but it would surely throw the futures of Giroud and Batshuayi into doubt. It’s not clear if someone from the current squad would need to leave first, but it’s a name for Chelsea fans to watch out for in Janaury. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/12/16/chelsea-look-to-sign-english-born-ace-as-they-seek-a-reliable-back-up-for-tammy-abraham/

A report from The Mirror has indicated that France manager Didier Deschamps has told Oliver Giroud to leave Chelsea in January if he wants to guarantee is place in the France squad next Summer. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/12/16/chelsea-ace-urged-to-quit-the-club-in-january-to-guarantee-his-place-at-euro-2020/
