  1. Kudos to Fabregas. He didn't play for weeks (or months?) and he ran his ass off today.
  2. Chalobah is proper Chelsea. That standing up for a teammate was JT-esque.
  3. You just know Cahill's confidence has been shot now. Better you get him off at halftime.
  4. There is nothing wrong with wanting to make the most money and fight for titles, no. One could even argue that making as much money as possible as well as giving yourself the best chance of winning are the primary goals in a footballer's career. It is refreshing to see players stay at certain clubs long-term, however; we don't get to see those scenarios all that often anymore which makes them more "special".
  5. A footballer should be allowed to decide what he considers most in line with his needs and dreams. For some people "bigger/better/more" isn't everything in life.
  6. Good performance. Did his share of work pressing early and covering for the rest of that back-3.
  7. Unfortunately couldn't find one without the watermark.
  8. I don't think Cesar (Or Luiz, for that matter. Cahill was easily our best defender.) was particularly good today. He should have been the one closing the gap between Matic/Kante and the backline like he has done very well ever since going to a back-3. That space was used perfectly by Eriksen and Kane today, we were lucky they didn't make anything of it IMO.
  9. Azpilicueta needs to sort it out. He's the main reason we haven't been able to deal with any sort of pressing today.
  10. You can't win the league title in autumn but you can definitely lose it during this time of the year. I don't want to get carried away, though, the signs have been encouraging thus far: This is the Chelsea I've been longing for.
  11. Aina should be able to play the occasional game IMO. Against West Ham you could see that he has the right mentality for the position not letting 1 or 2 mistakes affect him and just going on with his job. I reckon he would do well with the rest of the current starting-11 around him.
  12. I'd rather see him next to Luiz and Azpilicueta at some point. Think his passing and understanding of the game could be put to great use there.
  13. No chance of getting Griezmann IMO, though. Nabil Fekir is the answer.
  14. As "bad" as you think they are they are still miles better than pundits in most other countries. Trust me, I listen to Austria and German football pundits regularly as well as American NBA and NHL pundits
  15. It's gone unnoticed a bit but Cahill benefits from this system and the movement it brings so much, too. No longer does he have to carry the ball but can play a pass straight away with at least 2 options available all the time.
  16. If there ever was a justified "Told ya!" then it's definitely this one. You'd have to be mad not to notice the patterns that were being established in the first few games.
  17. Luiz was simply TROLLING that Everton team today. He was abusing them physically, playing 50m passes with ease, and controlling the flow of the whole game from the back.
  18. Just the revenge for last season's 3-1 battering mate
