Amblève.

Anyone got a stream that I don't have to refresh every minute?

Game over, Cuadrado coming on

We don't even have Moses on the bench, Cuadrado has taken his place lmao

Clearly we aren't playing to our strengths today, NEED MOAR CAHILL AND RAMIRES

Are you even fucking watching the game?

FFS last year we even conceded with one man more on the pitch

Look at that heroic defending by us. Truly heroic. Getting saved time and time again by our keeper is such a joy to watch. Jose, the genius.

So much hypocrisy and double standards in this thread, lol. If it was us scraping through a win it'd be seen as "Only results matter", "We'll get better, it's only the start of the season" etc etc etc. But because it's a rival they're obviously shit and unimpressive, which is true but such a shortsighted thing to say all things considered.

I once said that Baker would have the same development path as Bertrand and I still stand by that. I just hope that when Baker gets to Bertrand's level we won't make the same mistake and will do right by him.

There's only one German defender I'd take over Hummels and that's Boateng. Hummels is a worldclass quarterback but as a CB Boateng is on another level.

Same, but as long as Mou is at the helm we're in for a long ride till that happens lol That certainly isn't ideal to put it simply.

The good news, I guess, is at least nobody's talking about our performance vs Swansea. Mission accomplished, Jose.

This whole Carneiro thing is so stupid, pointless, and unnecessary.

It's only moaning if you perceive it as such. I don't see why I shouldn't comment on something just because it doesn't fit your opinion or anyone else's, for that matter. It's a forum, isn't it?

I haven't heard anyone claim that the forum is getting better. If anything, everyone is saying it's getting worse which I personally disagree with. Though, that's entirely subjective so there's no right and wrong.Why some insignificant member has to announce their short-term departure now that is something I don't understand. With TC having exploded there's just too many members of the same order for any of these to make a big deal about their departure. After all, this isn't some 10 guys site, this is one of the biggest Chelsea forums in the world with thousands of members.

Good riddance.

Because he's a brainless egomaniac?

Criticism is good and all but this just stupid. Calling one of our longest serving players a piece of shit? Classy.

Lol Don't make a fool of yourself. One decent game from him won't change any sane person's perception of Oscar. After all, having one good game and then disappearing is what makes people criticize Oscar

It says more about us than Augsburg, tbh

Nah, not ridiculous at all. Just poor execution to say the least.

I only saw the second half so keep that in mind while reading my post. I don't have a clue what happened in the first. Courtois is pretty bad off the line. Not the first time that he looked clumsy leaving his goal to play the ball, this time his timing etc were completely off. Shit happens but this is definitely an area he has to work on. Ivanovic, whom I defend more often than not, just got fucked hard on that right flank. Basically every attack from Swansea came from his side in the second half; they clearly targeted him and it worked. On to the much bigger problem, though... DAT bench. It's just straight up embarrassing how weak our depth is. Mourinho brought on Zouma for Fabregas FFS. Just imagine - IMAGINE! - having a top-class midfielder be there to replace Matic or Fabregas when one of them is shit or a change is simply necessary...

Everytime someone mentions Real in this thread we should sacrifice a lamb to all gods so that it never happens again, ffs.

Well, now that our emphasis is on making profit with youth players we better shut down that academy. After all, it costs a fucking lot.

4 months later, still true.
