Blue Armour

Just like Lukaku. That would be terrible if true.

Probably hope more than anything, but I think we have a real gem of a player here. just hope he gets all the chances he can to develop here without having to go on loan.

And this is what bothers me when people say Chelsea are a team in transition and need a few years. Newcastle were fighting relegation not too long ago, while we were competing at the top of Europe. How tf does this happen.

From London to Spain, back to London, and maybe again to Spain?

Hope Potter saw the same thing all of us saw. DDF deserves at least a sub role if not starting outright. Just wondering if we will see Aubemayang return instead

It really is odd. I don't think we've missed Drogba or Hazard (when they played for us) the same way we miss James. Much better squads back then.

Its interesting to see these long term deals the owners are insisting for incoming players (or when renewing existing contracts). Reminds me of what Chicago Bulls did with Scottie Pippen. Basically lock them down on one salary for as long as possible.

Just wondering- Is this more than what Rudiger was asking for in his extension? I don't think it was too far from it, in any case.

Sorry..I don't buy that adage about it working for one club, so it should work for us. Arsenal were down in the dumps under Arteta for nearly 3 seasons., and they really hit gold in this transfer window. While they may have their best league finish in a decade this season, it's still one season.. And even if Arteta does end up being success like Pep, it's Arteta. Not Potter.

I think Potter has to aim for at least Europa league, if not top 4. But I'll be pissed if he makes us finish in the conference league. That would be a total waste of time.

Know this is Silva's wife., but his opinion could not be too far removed. She's practically talking about reinstating Tuchel., looks like.

I mentioned this at the time. It was around the time we won the club world cup. And all hell broke lose following that. The war..the sanctions, and the club getting sold.

Sigh. I was hopeful.

Are those Potter's words?

Ideal scenario would've been - hold on to Tuchel at least till end of season. Allow Potter to grow with his Brighton team. And maybe consider him after he has consistently demonstrated his ability managing a team in the top 8. We got rid of Tuchel too quickly. And we've thrown Potter under the bus.

Our goals scored xG was 0.1

The sad thing is - At this point I can't tell whether its all them, or the manager.

Got furious when the camera zoomed on Haaland and the idiot commentator said Chelsea fans look away now. As if the oversize Norwegian has a stellar scoring record against us.

If Mount is bad, Gallagher is 3x worse.

Nah...that's just City's way of celebration. They do that every game they win. Serious.

Shame there's no one to give him a pass in dangerous area

Has got very few touches - but DDF has shown some decent skill to keep the ball despite pressure. Better than some of the others at least

YESS!! DDF

I wonder whose fault this is - all our midfielders are petrified of playing the through ball, and just opt for endless side passes. Its been there from the Tuchel era.
