New EPL TV deal is going to make the PL teams quite wealthy and will likely take up 15 of the top 25 richest clubs in terms of revenue. Once the stadium is built, Chelsea will be able to compete financially with just about everyone. P.S. Leicester has big bucks behind it so I could see them becoming a top 4 contender in a few years

2 goals and an assist in Marseille's 6-0 win tonight

Game Ratings Courtois - 6.8 PK save and great save in the 93rd distribution isn't on the level. Azipilicueta - 6.6 good run in for the goal but shambolic in the first twenty minutes with passes to nowhere Terry - 2.7 While the red card was soft he still was burnt like toast and made a game that was a comfortable into tense nail-biter Zouma - 6.9 Solid play not spectacular but strong in the air and made things difficult for West Brom Ivanovic 3.6 Utter liability at RB has been dismantled each of the first three weeks by 3 different types of players. Matic 2.3 - Worst player in the pitch idiotic tackle to give up a PK was lucky not to be sent off later in the game far too many give aways in bad spots leading to WBA Cesc 3.9 - a freakin pylon he could be passed by a 12 year old kid ... way too slow. Had one great through ball to Costa and a chip to Costa that led to Dave's goal. Otherwise his lack of speed and athleticism is causing problems for the midfield. Hazard 6.2 - Moments of great play but not leaving enough of an impact on the game. Willian - 5.4 could have cost Chelsea a victory with his abysmal miss. Not enough end product and gave away the ball too often Pedro 8.2 - MOTM best player on the pitch created nearly all of Chelsea's opportunities, tracked back quite well and recovered the ball quickly when he lost it. Looks like the RW problem has been resolved Costa 7.0 Goal and set up the 3rd goal. Still too much dribbling but he was in the heads of the WBA players and creating problems. Cahill 4.5 stumbling and bumbling lucky that he didn't cost Chelsea a goal. Mikel N/A did little Falcao N/A has to be better with the shot. Lucky win and without Pedro this may have been another loss. The midfield is in shambles as is the defense. Offense looks out of rhythm and seems overly reliant on individual brilliance because there does seem to be a cohevise offense attack plan. Need multiple CM and defenders to be brought in as this team is going struggle to make top four in its current form.

Not sure why people are complaining about getting Pedro. There are not a lot of options available on the market and either you overpay for potential or you overpay for a name. RW has been an issue for a while now. So it's good that the issue is being resolved. We do no need to bring in 18-21 talents who could be ready in 1-2 years to play big roles at Chelsea. Still need to fix CM before the window closes and would be nice to address the back line as well.

United screwed up when they didn't get Benteke. He's exactly the striker they needed and he was the best option at a fairly reasonable price.

That!s the thing except for the delusional muppets no one was suggesting that Chelsea needed 50 million pound players. Chelsea just needed solid players who are able to compete and give Chelsea options and depth. I would have been satisfied with Witsel/Aranguiz, Cabaye, Alderweireld, Coleman + Stones/Varane etc. it would have been a big depth upgrade and Cabaye has great chemistry with Hazard from their Lille days. Adding those options would have given Chelsea depth and multiple options and cost would have been around 90-100 million pounds. Net spend with the players going out would have been 30-50 million pounds

Jose is a clown. He's actually starting to sound like Moyes.

To add insult to injury City signed Otamendi

Haha

Ivanovic ....

Oops

Ivanovic ....

How has silva not been booked?

Ivanovic ...

Ramires fucking useless

Smash and grab looked the only a win was going to happen 30 seconds in....

Hazard is quiet because nobody is moving for Chelsea. They all stand around like mugs expecting him to take 4 or 5 defenders every time. He either needs other world class players or he should leave. His talent is being wasted by pub league teammates.

The medical staff shouldn't have come on the field they need to be more savvy .....

Age finally caught up with Terry and Ivanovic

De Bruyne and Silva would play free roles

Just imagine if City adds De Bruyne ...

Woo crossing into the box with only two men there

Injury

Getting smothered by city

Should have been a yellow on silva wtf
