Biggest frustration at the moment is lack of understanding between owners and fans. Never was a fan of Poch, but now we again left completely in the dark. No clue there is it all heading for, feelings of another wasted season, like Potter one, are very high.

Lavia bid could be because of Paqueta to City, this opens up Gallagher to West Ham.

Rayan Cherki is not the way to go, too slow and lack sharpness. Mohammed Kudus much better option, but still. Lets face reality, all current players we link with are gambles and not top quality signings. Nicolas Jackson, Gabri Veiga, Gusto even Caicedo all have only one good season under them and never played for top team. Nkunku only one who has decent experience. At the same time we lost - Kante, Kova - top level players tons of exp. Mount, Haverts, no matter what you think, great players with decent experience already, and have potential to grow, also Felix in the same bracket. Ziyech, Jorginho, Mendy, Koulibaly, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Azpilicueta - all good squad players with proven quality. There is reasons for every player, but the bottom line - squad losing a lot and not compensating enough. Current squad looks super lightweight in every way and not top 4 material. PL is most competitive league in the world, you can't act like Dortmund and accidentally near win it.

By the end of the window we will have like 4 players from the team that won CL two years ago. And one of them is Thiago Silva, and Kepa, lol. Madness.
-
Why not do a Giroud and go for Auba or Laca? I think both could do a decent job and bring more of the competition for Werner than completely ditch him. I do not really buy the idea, that we absolutely need main man up front. I think many of our attacking players could improve on numbers this year. Happy, we have ambitions and money to do things but think Lukaku is not who we need.
-
He has a bit of Jones in him. Always going in any challenge. While bravery and self-sacrifice appreciated, I think he needs to be more cautious or could get another injury.
-
At the moment we heavily rely on Kova Jorginho for the transition. Soon others will figure out it and close them up. Mourinho already did it in the second half and we have problems. Just hope that won't end in our back three passing to each other without any clue. I like the idea of winger-wingback it makes three CB more justified. Still early days, but at least we now have some foundation to work from.
-
don't know how to post tweet, by this is hilarious. If Coutinho wins the Champions League with Bayern Munich, Barcelona will have to pay €5m to Liverpool. You read that right.
-
Think Lampard made hard task for him next season. We basically don't have any system, not many players cemented in the team, everything under question. And it after year in charge. To be honest, its a joke, how we have two groups of players of completely different systems - Conte and Sarri ones. And it looks like Frank and Jody tryed to create some Frankenstein entire season.
-
Serious questions should be ask to recruit team. It's third time we sign spanish player for big money, who had low mentality. He looks exactly the same after conceding goals as Morata, Torres after missing there chances - broken and near crying. They just can't cope with mistakes, throw them out of head and concentrate on the present. Even then they do good, they still look like - am not done enough to compensate past.

Matt Law @Matt_Law_DT As per reports from France, I'm told David Luiz refused to train with Chelsea today and wants to move to Arsenal. I don't think Arsenal have made a formal bid yet
-
Today Sarri match his success in England.
-
We didn't progress lately. Main reason, as i see it, because of the good results. So players rather adapt to Sarri tactics than transform, and because of good results Sarri allowed them to play like this, not pushing them. We play from the back, but too slow and not benefit from it much. We press, but rarely win the ball in dangerous situations, and we move ball fast, but again with very carefull approach, so it didn't lead to anything. All this need to change, hopefully Sarri find out how to do it, current football will bring more upsets.
-
really want to step up for Luiz. He was superb today. Yes he made mistake that cost us. But, just compare last game and this - Luiz and Rudiger is our strongest force. This system demands a lot from CB, we are lucky to have both Luiz and Rudiger.
-
Worst Chelsea this season against, probably, one of the best United, 2-2 fair result. Should never be early kick off after int. break.
-
He brings a lot of luck and confident on the ball, it's a good start.
-
Not a fan of him. But he made it clear, that he wants to leave long before. Club management is at fault for me.
-
disappointed, think he could be very useful. Can play on the right as well. Not understand the connection with Jorginho, mentioned by some reporters, different types and also Sarri talked about midfielder issue after Jorginho arrive. Hope for someone else, but with our policy cant get exciting.
-
Fabregas and Pedro could be key to the upcoming season. They know this football pretty well and looks like enjoy it very much.
-
Real toying with us, now 160m is not enough. But in a year time, you won't get even 100m, so lost is huge. Plus all the speculation around and uncertainty. In fact, we already living in this for some time, it just deadline comes close. Club needs to handle this kind of situations better in the future. Make sure you sign new contract or search for your new club at our asking price. And replacement should be in place. There is no one bigger than the club, it must be the law. Biggest disappointing here is, that Real not much interesting, they just don't want to miss on top player for cheap.
-
Then Russia played, Leonid Slutsky was one of the commentaries. And he speaks very high about Golovin. Said he has the best stamina and runs a lot, also mention he ran the most in CL group stage out of all teams. Use to manage him at CSKA and have connection with Chelsea, so maybe it is a real possibility there.
-
We definitely should have a show on Netflix. We are not always fascinating on the field, but beyond it, no one comes close.
-
this is quintessence of Mourinho football. A win. Still believe we move ahead in two years with Conte. Bad summer bite us every time. No way we lose this with Costa and Matic, who was mom to me.
-
I really can't see us overcome our weaknesses there. This season we always struggling against high pressing and Barca naturally pressing team. Alonso, Moses will sit deep and midfielders will have a hard time again. Hope I am wrong, this Barcelona is certainly beatable, but we need to play our best game.
-
Actually think Van Gaal would be interesting one. Of course it's tricky choice, but I think Conte made all too complicated. Van Gaal personality could do good work here.
