We’ve completely negated Zaha’s influence with Reece but as a consequence of his positioning our attack suffers. Much as I love Azpi, this is another match that shows why it’s best to move in this summer. If Tuchel had it in his mind to use him as a CB in the squad that would be different. But he simply isn’t a wingback at this level.

Made it extremely easy for Palace to defend us by playing walking pace football. Didn’t even work the keeper or the defenders at all. Really allowed them to have the exact sort of choppy, slow game they would’ve wanted.

No idea what to expect. One match Palace can look really good and go toe to toe with the big clubs, the next match they can look dog shit and get battered. Would be nice if we start like we did against Madrid here so Palace don’t even have a chance. Aggressive from the first whistle and take the game to them.

Knowing United they’ll shithouse themselves a flukey win against the most in-from side in the world with a CR7 goal and then proceed to put in an embarrassing effort their next match. I really don’t want United to sneak into 4th so I kinda ant them to lose even though I also don’t want Liverpool to win the league.

Martinelli and Saka will suddenly play out of their skin again when they play us. I remember them being at rock bottom with Arteta in the verge of the sack (was it last season or the season before, o don’t remember) and they beat us.

Btw, I called it live during the 6-0 last weekend that Southampton would be desperate to bounce back and atone for the embarrassment against Arse. And they did just that. That’s 3 straight embarrassing losses for Arse. 😂😂😂😂 Still, now we have to not take for granted that they’ll roll over for us next…

I see Ronaldo has bailed United out of a shocking, horrendous performance yet again. Where on Earth would they be this season without a 37 year old who does fuck all for the team except for score goals? They’d be about 10th or something!

The message was sent to the City players before even kicking off that Pep didn’t care about this match with that terrible team he put out. They look like an overawed midtable side today.

Liverpool are going to win at least a treble. Quadruple unless we stop them in the FA Cup. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Unbelievable job from Potter this season. For me he’s got to be coach of the year. Beat Arse and Spuds, held us to a draw both times we played them and they looked excellent both times, drew impressively with Liverpool. All while playing great football. I think he’s destined for a top job soon.

As he did in Serie A, Rom would probably score 30 goals in Ligue 1 at PSG. Would be incredible to offload him there.

I had thought the Ricketts bid was the favorite, too. So that’s nice to hear. Gotta be Boehly now which is probably the best of them easily.

Very interested in him. Looks like a beast. But is he having a Werner or Sancho like season where he puts up insane stats in Germany and then looks mediocre when he steps up to a big club? We should certainly be looking at him.

After seeing him firsthand, Klopp will probably push their board to sign him and they’ll have yet another superstar attacker. But Nuñez doesn’t really seem like the type we should be after. We already have Kai and Mase playing more centrally. We need a wide player.

Liverpool will waltz through Villareal with minimal resistance. No chance at all they get through. Real Madrid is the most palatable of the others. They’ve already won it so many times that another means nothing to me as a Chelsea fan. Plus, they don’t have any players I actively dislike other than the snake in goal. Liverpool winning again would be most unbearable of all because of their ultra-arrogant supporters and seemingly dozens of media pundits. City getting their first CL and finally joining the true elite clubs will suck, too. I love the fact that we’ve always had that over them. Also, seeing City or Liverpool winning a treble or quadruple would be horrendous. We’d not hear the end of it for 5 years.

For the love of God, PLEASE let Real Madrid win the whole thing now.

It’s imperative that we sign a wide attacker with killer instinct. Far too many 1 in 5 sort of wingers in our current squad.

Don’t think Real Madrid will be able to live with City’s relentless nature if they couldn’t really live with ours for much of tonight. They should batter RM. But City are notorious chokers in the CL so who knows. I said the other day that this was probably City’s year finally, but now I think Liverpool have to be strong favorites due to the draw. Villareal have done extraordinarily well to get past Bayern but I think Liverpool with their unrelenting pressure will easily get past them.

Nothing really to lose. May as well go all out in our pressing game and hope that some of their aging legs struggle with the pace. Just rattle them if possible and make them nervous.

Is Jorginho done at Chelsea now? Seems Tuchel genuinely prefers shoehorning RLC in at odd positions these days. I can absolutely see us moving him on this summer and bringing in a younger, more athletic midfielder.

It’s just so difficult to gauge where our expectations should be with all these prospective owners. They all seem to have something in common in that the bids are being fronted by a “smaller” billionaire but then they’re backed by these colossal firms that are worth mega-billions. So it’s pretty much impossible to know until they’re in place what sort of ownership model we’ll have. Will it be a cheap bastard owner like Kroenke? Will it be a group solely interested in the commercial side and pulling out money like the Glazers? Or will we hit the jackpot again and have an owner whose primary concern is winning on the pitch? The only one of the 4 finalists that I have high hopes for is the Boehly group. The LA Dodgers are the equivalent of Real Madrid/PSG/Barca here in baseball in that they are always targeting and signing huge names and superstars. And with reporting last week that the main owner of the Dodgers has teamed up on Boehly’s bid that can only be a positive. They’ll want to make a splash.

And just imagine, all these golden chances played beautifully across the box that the likes of Sterling keep just missing could be falling to Haaland next season. He may score prime Messi & CR7 numbers in that team next year. Don’t see how anyone other than City can win the league for the next several seasons. Liverpool have to push themselves to unbelievably ridiculous levels just to keep up and that’s only with City slipping up a few times. As long as Pep is there I just can’t see past them. Going to be annoying and kinda sad seeing them pass us in PL titles quite comfortably. 😔

Trent getting repeatedly abused defensively in another big game. Brilliant as he is going forward, he’s no Reece James as an all around player.

Both sides just carving each other open over and over again.

Jota with 15 PL goals now. Liverpool’s third or maybe even 4th best attacker has more goals than our leading scorer. This is the difference between them and us.
