Lol...I was just going to post a link myself. What do you guys think of us going for Neymar next summer? Personally, would prefer that even if it is to just pip City/Liverpool Plus, I think he could mature at 27, at least in terms of attitude

For me, if we are playing James at RB, Azpi has to definitely start, until we get a good LB and Rudiger returns to the CB lineup. The current defensive lineup had no other vocal leaders and very little organization, and he's the closest we've got, no matter how much of a 'leader' he is. Remember, Azpi was playing fine at RB when we were on a 7 game winning streak. Lampard started including James as permanent fixture in the starting lineup, not just based on James' merit, but because Emerson and Alonso played like crap in their most recent games Emerson was terrible against West Ham and City

New left back, and new backup striker. Backup CB as well, depending on Rudigers form Even if Rudiger comes good this season, I would still like a WC CB, but that's not something we would get in a January window I think

Didnt see this match, but even before seeing the result, the writing was on the wall after Everton flopped against Liverpool so badly. Knew these fuckers would sack their manager and look to rebound against us. Wouldn't be surprised if they went to flop in their next game. Anyway, this result is in the past. For now, we still have our points gap against the 5th placed team. Let's look to protect that

I just think this guy is a bit lazy with defence. Doesnt rush out quickly enough to block a cross. Failed to do it in the city game, and failed to do it today. No surprise he's fallen out of the starting 11

Also jokes aside, I've seen some Chelsea fans hoping that the transfer ban continues for the rest of the season. I really hope we get the Jan window open for us. Plenty of room for reinforcements, especially that left back and backup striker position

After watching the whole game, I'm disappointed with the final result. HOWEVER, I'm still glad that coming into the game,we had put quite a bit of daylight in terms of points ahead of the rest of the chasing pack of spurs, arsenal and United. As long as we go back to picking points against the lesser sides, results against the big 2 will not matter in race for top 4.

This is why Jurgen Klopp is awesome. Hope Frank can emulate Jurgen. I think their style of play is comparable

Clear and obvious errors .... Is it so difficult for the referees to understand simple English? If we have to wait 5 minutes before getting confirming EVERY single goal, its just getting ridiculous VAR in the PL is A FARCE!!!

Azpilicueta moves to the left flank anyway, when James plays, so I doubt its because of him. I think James is still rough. He is very good for his age, but the game against Utd in the league cup showed he still has a little bit more to go before he can become a nailed on starter ahead of Azpi/Emerson.

Gutless reporters...Asking the players about what they made of Chelsea fans leaving early (as if it doesn't happen in other clubs)......I saw questions like this in another interview video as well Reporter doesn't have the balls to ask the same to Frank, though.

Bumbling Barkley....lol for some reason that makes me snigger...haha

I've said it before I can't say it enough... VAR is RUN by bunch of fucking morons!!!!! FA = Fucking arseholes

Maybe you have a very high estimation of him. I haven't seen anything special from him when we played big teams, and this goes back to last season when we played at Anfield, when he disappeared in attack. But, I'm attributing this to the fact that hes still not fully developed as player and has still a few years ago, considering his age.

Can do better, but...have to remember he's only 18. Not every player is like Messi or Mbappe. Him being paid 6 figures a week (which is probably due to difficulty in negotiations), won't change that.

OGS is like the new Kenny Dalglish ... Managing shit teams with a shit style but still manage to pick up wins consistently against Chelsea. Annoying match, and felt we should have done more in attack. Was interesting to see CHO and Pulisic to start together, but a bit underwhelming in the end. But its to be expected. This is still a young team, and not yet the finished article. There will be inconsistencies. Despite that, we have 7 wins in a row, and followed by 1 defeat, that is still a fantastic achievement. We fielded a weaker side and got undone only by set pieces. There will be more to come with returning players.

And now with a hat-trick....

VAR ....,a piece of dogshit, made to pull out dogshit teams from the fire. You know which teams...

Hope he gets more minutes. At least, a lot more than what he has got in the past 5 games

You must be thinking of a handful of games, like those he had against United when thugs like Young and Herrera tried to do a number on him. Other than those few examples, how can you say that he shied away from tackles? There's a reason he was the most fouled player in the league when he was here. And that earlier comment on here by @Costa19 sounds just wrong. How can you wish ill will on a player who contributed so much when he was here? For 7 years at that! Not sure how his Madrid exploits can bother you.

Remember when Franco DiSanto was the only known youth player featuring for a Chelsea 11? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I don't know about deserved or undeserved, but we were desperately unlucky. Near misses, VAR, fantastic setpieces from Liverpool, and two injuries to defenders within the first half. We also held control for good portions of the game, and kept the deadly Salah and Mane relatively quiet. Don't want to sound like Ty from Arsenal fan TV, but we were unlucky in this match.

Worst of it. It was marginal. You should really favor the attacking side in those situations.

Truly the only thing worth mentioning and acknowledging. Probably all you can ask for at this point I admit that I was pretty frustrated at half time when we were 2 down due to ill luck. But have to remember, this is a work in progress team, with a work in progress manager, with players missing due to injury.
