... and the bubble is gone

Perfecto!!! Even ready to swap Navas + money and have a young kid as a backup for a year or so who can be integrated as the no1.

Decent game for us ... importantly a clean win. Kudos. All the bench boys were up to the tasks when given an opportunity ... it was a good sight to have CHO, RLC, Christensen, Emerson and even Giroud starting in a PL game and doing good. Now off to Monday, let see if the Bench boys get another chance for their good work!!! On the flip side, it seems Jorginho wouldnt make the cut in PL ... he is found lost at times, slow and defensively bad. Azpi is now becoming a worry, seems age is catching up with him as well ... he is not able to keep up with the pacy players anymore 1v1 reminds so much of Gary Neville in his last years at United.

So post today, Sarri stays on for another match day ...

Even our incompetent board is not capable for doing something like this ... specially after dumping tons of money on Kepa.

Dont worry ... next season he will have better numbers when he plays for Madrid

Age has caught up to Higuain ... His body doesnt respond to him the way his brain thinks. He surely see the gaps where he wants the ball but when he gets them, he doesnt has the pace to outrun the defender, doesnt has the physicality to push off the defender. He had quite few chances in the box yesterday and all the time the defender just shooed him off and took away the ball. After last night I really dont see any advantage of having him over Morata ... one seems to is handicapped physically while the other mentally.

Doesnt feel like a win!!! Doesnt seem as we won! Infact heart goes out Cardiff, they were a better team and they got done with stupid refs! No sympathy or kudos for Chelsea today, we were shit for most of the part. Even more disappointed that Sarri would be the Manager for the next game as well.

WTF!!! we won!!! Damn ... I was already seeing the headlines "Sarri Sacked" ... now he carries on .. .:(

I m sure now ... we are not even taking a single point from this game.

Hahahahahahahahah!!!! Loving it now

Just a positive note: Can we drop further than what we're seeing or this rock bottom?

We shouldnt be in Champions League next season. Period!!! We just dont deserve it.

We're seriously freaking ridiculous !!! Pathetically poor!!! We are not getting 3 points from this game.

I dont get the article/question ... Between Alonso and Emerson, we allknow Why Emerson should start!!! The real question is WHY is Sarri not staring him over Alonso

Once he leaves he is not coming back

I think we really mismanaged Baker ... I still think he had more potential, he was just at the wrong place most of the time.

Chelsea now hopeful Callum Hudson-Odoi will sign a new contract Why? What changed from last time to this time, I wonder ...

The kid has suddenly started getting traction ... Seems he has also started talking too much (not sure if that is true or not) but looks like his PR team has started going on-board. "Chelsea starlet Daishawn Redan does not think he will be given a chance in the Blues' first team, with West Ham United, Everton and Leicester City all keen on signing the Dutch wonderkid,"

If there is a transfer ban, wouldnt it be for buying and selling both?

In that case Conte also came in from the Italian league and he did win us the league. Pep never played in the PL but today he's the best ... It doesnt depends where u come from, it is how you adjust to the league and make your way up. I'm not saying that Sarri will replicate the same as the successfully ones because he seem to be very adamant to keep doing his things. For me still Nuno falls into the same bracket as a young potential manager who is doing decent currently with a smaller team but it's a different ball game when you have to manage a big team. And there is no much difference between the two.

Not sure on the obvious ... but again Nuno Santo looks similar to how Sarri looked at Napoli and his track record doesnt paint a solid record as well. Yes currently he showing some potential but then if we have to think about it, havent we taken a chance on AVB and Sarri already. With player power being so dominant in the dressing room, it will be difficult for any young/promising manager to come in and turn tides. IDK ... It's confusing right now and we have made it so difficult after sacking so many managers ...

In a 4-3-3, RLC should be given opportunities in the advanced position which Kante is trying so hard currently ... While Kante should go back to the defensive position with Jorginho being pushed ahead of Kante and should dump the Registra or whatever it is called. Double Pivot would be the best for Kante.

Bang on!!! Everyone who ends up in a top 6 club has to be talented, goes without saying ... but whether they turn up to be even playing in the first team let along be elites all depends on how much support the player receives in terms of game time specially during the transition from the youth team to the first team.

Couldnt see the match so cant really comment on how we played. But ... boy, checking the score every now & then specially when your presence is needed some where else is so depressing & disheartening !!!
