Semantics!

Areola is a tit.

Oh fuck off Emerson. Passenger if I ever saw one, winning a free CL medal with us.

I want him to open his scoring account soon. If not this match, at least the next one. Have a feeling he could be lethal once the floodgates open.

Feels good to have a CF again.

@NikkiCFC has your opinion on Chukwuemeka changed?

Fantastic goal. Carney Chukwuemeka has skill. No doubt about that.

Fucking west sham crowd booing Jackson Hope he smashes one past their team.

Jackson, nearly. Come on.

Hope Jackson opens his account in this match.

We should be grateful to Havertz, Mount and Pulisic too. Maybe they abandoned ship at the end, but at least they contributed to doubling our CL trophy count, and that's more than enough for me. It's not like Bakayoko or Sarr who ended up contributing so little.

Brighton playing some real delightful football. Look surprisingly vulnerable at times, but for the most part - very dominant.

Him being here in a role similar to Drogba in 2014/15 wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. If nothing, but boost morale.

Based on how it's been last season, one month prognosis, usually means 2 months in reality. Not too bad, all things considered. Hope Gusto can step up. And hopefully with our new central midfield, we can reduce our dependency on full backs. We just need our default attackers, namely our wingers, to step up.

From what it sounds - it could be 2 to 3 months., worse case. Hopefully less. If surgery is really an option to permanently resolve a niggling issue, he might want to take it though. I doubt the intermittent injuries are doing him any favors.

Poch now has the central midfield he needs. Time to get back to winning.

If you combined RLCs technical ability and Gallagher's tenaciousness, you would probably get an excellent starting 11 player. Unfortunately, they are both limited in certain aspects and hence only amount to squad players.

Yep - Just ordered one for me and my cousin sister right on time. Thanks again for the heads up! ☺️

Looks like he doesn't chill well.

That's 'Manager' Kepa to you, sir. Don't you dare disrespect the gaffer.

There is a middle ground to everything No they're not shit, but to say the club has the best negotiators on the planet is something else. The fact is, Caicedo threw us a lifeline by making Chelsea his preferred choice. Else, he would be holding a Liverpool jersey by now. And as a result of leaving it late., we may have even had to pay over the odds. But that's in the past. What's done is done., and it looks like he is finally ours. We can all rest easy now as fans of the same club without having to gloat at each other. Else we can continue to quote each other on this forum over ridiculous opinions and posts made over time. Every fan can have different opinions, and no one is right all the time.

Guess who was back at the club for the Liverpool game. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12402399/Eden-Hazard-returns-Chelsea-fan-watch-match-against-Liverpool-Belgian-winger-free-agent-leaving-Real-Madrid-summer.html

If we had at least one of them, it would have been a win. Anyway, onwards and upwards. Get them in before the next game

He has the balls but no brain to go with it.

Yes., not too bad at all considering our lineup. Full credit to Pochettino. This game would be a lot different if we also had the central midfield we needed. But unfortunately the administration has disregarded the importance of a winning start to the season.
