Amblève.

Absolutely fantastic performance from Courtois today. Not only did he keep us in the game when his teammates in front of him failed but he also stayed calm thoughout the game and distributed the ball brilliantly, something that you ABOLUTELY NEED from your GK in a high-tempo game like this.

Kudos to Fabregas. He didn't play for weeks (or months?) and he ran his ass off today.

Chalobah is proper Chelsea. That standing up for a teammate was JT-esque.

You just know Cahill's confidence has been shot now. Better you get him off at halftime.

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".

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.

Good performance. Did his share of work pressing early and covering for the rest of that back-3.

Unfortunately couldn't find one without the watermark.

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.

Beast mode performance today.

Azpilicueta needs to sort it out. He's the main reason we haven't been able to deal with any sort of pressing today.

Oscar tho

Conte with the signature Benitez sub.

I really dislike these black kits.

There was a comment on Reddit similar to yours a few weeks ago. You might be interested in checking out one of the responses.

Which is what I said if my English is not failing me. The initial court didn't have a complete justificiation for the rape which is why the OGH had to call the initial court again. Since the rape proceeding will be conducted again a (new) psychological opinion will also have to be taken into accout according to which the boy is suffering from a PTSD so the sentence can be lifted up to 15 years, too. Still, nothing that Putin said was factually correct. The court simply had to do its job and guarantee a fair trial for everyone involved (Something - again - Putin's Russia doesn't seem to think highly of when it concerns them). Whether the sentence is long enough or not is a whole different matter, though, and something the jurisdiction has no control over.

What Putin was talking about is absolute bollocks mate. I know that because the case he's talking about happened here in Austria and we talked about it in my civil procedure law class a few weeks ago Our high court had to reverse 1 (!) part of the decision because parts of the written legal justification were missing (i.e. the official document was not complete) which is why they had to call the previous court again. The convict didn't leave prison nor is he free now. Putin can shove any moral accusations up his ass anyway. Someone who doesn't give a fuck about human rights in his own country has lost any credibility for speaking about other nations in that regard.

Your post is exactly what's wrong with the whole election. Never do I say that Hillary has integrity (though definitely more than Trump) but instead of commenting on one of the dozens of things about Trump that WE ACTUALLY KNOW (like, for example, him changing his opinion daily and being completely unreliable concerning the truth of anything he says ) you choose to rip Clinton for one story, which isn't even proven to be fact. During this whole election process Clinton has been criticised for the smallest shit possible like her not being able to bond with young people and not being modern enough (again, neither is Trump) whereas Trump has gotten away with blatantly and openly dehumanizing opinions and calling for open season on Clinton and journalist, only to name one of the many unbelievable things he has said.

There's nothing to congratulate, really. The USA just declared that they would rather vote for someone who is openly racist, misogynist, and completely unpredictable with no integrity whatsoever than someone who has ties to the money world. Come to think of it, so does Trump who even openly talks about evading taxes for crying out loud. If anything this doesn't prove how sick people are of the establishment etc but how they want a world that is more simple and in which they can be anti-PC and anti-thinking about motives and morals.

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.

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.

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.

No chance of getting Griezmann IMO, though. Nabil Fekir is the answer.

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

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.
