3 points!!! All that matters now ...

A million dollar question ... rather a 25m one!!!

4 points in 5 games!

Bad performance by us ... the one team that I didnt want to lose and we do it & how!!!

Got a feeling that Lampard would defend this out specially with we missing our full backs and the last match against them was not a good one. Both teams need to win to get going but it could turn out to be a boring affair.

Was a bad game ... the confidence and zeal in the first half was the extreme opposite in the second. Players looked tired and exhausted, there was no drive after the first goal, incomplete passess, losing out balls, no threat in the final third, tactics of only using the flanks, was really bad overall. Pretty much everyone had a bad game. Wenger & Havertz looked out of depth, Silva made too many mistake it just didnt amplify because he recovered well and disappointed with Mendy too. Hope the 6 day rest provides some help as we enter into another flurry of games. Lampard need to get a plan B in place at the earliest because teams are now getting used to the way we play.

Bad day at office ... flurry of games coming our way, another one tomm. Hope we pick up and get going!!!

Didnt watch the match, woke up in the morning ... checked the score and hohohohohohohohooooo ... It was the Giroud show!!! 4 goals ... Brilliant!!! One of the most underrated striker in club setup. What a start to the day ...

Decent game, a very safe one for both sides. Nothing much to write off. Was sort of expecting it, Lampard seems to play it safe till the chemistry is top notch (I'm assuming). Maybe it makes sense in Lampard's defence to accumulate as many points we can from the mid & lower tier teams while being safe with the top ones which means comes March we are well played in the top 4. With a well set team, we can then push to better things whether PL of CL (if we r there till then) ... Wished Giroud could have converted that half chance ... Alas! And yes, he should have come in earlier.

The most easiest thing which could had happened was we would have drop the levels & maybe draw or lose the game specially when everyone is going ga-ga about Chelsea plus add to it the international break & key players missing. But hats off to the team, they managed to maintain the momentum and it was a very professional performance. Some hits & misses obviously but 3 points and clean sheet, cant ask for more. Kante is returning to his peak, he is again becoming a nuisance for the opposition and Zouma has started growing in confidence which is heartening to see. Hope we carry on the momentum in the upcoming fixtures as well. Well played, blues.

Feel the homesickness is just a lame rumor, he is in a business where you will have to go where the buck stops. Anyways, I have a feeling that RLC or Barkley would be part of the Rice deal so I dont think RLC stays with us for very long. On the buy back thing, never a fan if a player is highly rated ...yes for the above average players if there is a buy back then makes sense also if a player wants to explore/move out. As i mentioned before, I believe if Gallagher has a good loan then he mostly gets into the team next season and then it is up to the player to make a spot in the 11.

It would be premature to say that he cannot reach to the level that Mount or Gilmour. He has already been rated highly and he has being performing well on his loans taking the same route like Mount did. If he succeed in his current loan then he would surely be drafted into the team from next season. I feel RLC would be sold than Gallagher specially if the latter has a good loan

How does signing of Rice impact Gallagher ... He is more of a box-to-box/Attacking MF who will compete with Havertz, Mount, RLC. If he comes good with the current loan and I feel he will be send for one more season. But having Rice wouldnt affect him at all.

Honestly what the fuck are our players doing ... looks like they are just walking in the park. There is no passion, it should have been waves after waves from us instead it seems like they are dont bother me mode.

Zouma, Havertz and Werner doesnt make sense ... even Chilwell could be rested. Not sure why is Lampard trying to overplay Werner, he will burn out.

Let's do the simple thing right and we have a chance. Lets have Odio start on the right side instead of Mount, Kovavic in the middle along with Kante, start with Giroud for first 45 and then Werner as the first change. Mendy James - Silva - Tomori - Chilwell Kovacic - Kante Odio - Havertz - Pulisic Giroud

Felt the only positive from yesterday's game was the clean sheet. In game management by Lampard was poor, with 5 subs available we could actually changed the strategy around the 70 mins mark and got in someone like Giroud for a physical presence & ariel threat. With loads of game coming up, we need to rest players ... Werner, Havertz, Mount, Kante have literally started in all games ... We dont a break down happening.

Good for you ... whatever makes you happy!!!

The dynamics in the market was different this time around and it helped us. Everyone knows Havetz and Werner would have ended up at a different club in a regular market, we made the best of the situation. We could very well have ended up with different set of players. U see Lampard admiration as a big factor while I dont ... nothing ridiculous about it. BTW sometimes u just need players who can perform instead of "generational talents" in your team ... If Tammy performs then it would be surely ridiculous to replace him.

Why would we let go of Tammy if he plays well ... we arent playing FIFA or Football Manager here. The primary reason why players ended up here is because Lampard called them up and sold his vision to them just like how Jose did or Conte did (well he went in the opposite direction) or any top manager does ... I cant help if you find my statement ridiculous ...

Being a huge Lampard admirer is no factor ... Chelsea already has 2 young strikers/CF what is the point in getting another one. City are on a look out for a striker while United were out to get him initially as per rumors ... Thats what it is based on

Haaland would end up in one of the Manchester clubs ... Dont see him coming to Chelsea

Precisely!!! "IF" the new recruits perform then mid season or end of the season there would be another survey titled "Which of the summer transfers were a success ..."

Those people have a better understanding of the game hence they criticize. I'm sure they are part of the backroom staff for proffessional clubs, they have to know better.

Overall it's has being a brilliant transfer windows specially with the kind of players we've got in. Kudos to the Board, Cech and Lampard for making things done. Obviously there has to be balance or law of averages, missing out on a DM is disappointing along with quite a few players which are still at the club. But I feel the incoming players along with the ones out on loan in PL (4 simply good) outweigh everything else. Board has backed Lampard now it is his head on the line to make things happen.
