Disasi is so bad on the ball as soon as Thiago came out we can’t build from the back

Someone was saying something about Caicedo passing

Disagree this shows this team is capable of and if we can carry this style and form into next season we could be battling for top 4 next year and other silverware

This is the team I thought we had in preseason

What a goal - route one stuff

I need Cole to score one more to put more pressure on Haaland

Is that not a foul on Petro

Cucerella seems to be built for the inverted role it’s crazy

These boys are balling - can we tell Thiago to stay since his kids are in the academy. I feel like he was only leaving because he wasn’t playing

They need to find some other way to make the money up to make sure we are good. These cobham boys deserve to stay

Nkunku sighting

Started with Caicedo and Palmer great finish by Conor. Good half hour by Poch and the team so far

I was going to say that kind of play happens every week in the prem they never call it

It’s funny how Kai Havertz yesterday pushed in the back for his goal and it wasn’t called back for possible foul. The bias is real.

love the confidence

We always seem to put and get fairly decent results against the traditional Big 6 - so let’s have an open mind. Arsenal already slipped up a week ago who’s to say they don’t again.

I’ve been calling for us to look at him as our striker since January.. He can flat out score has great hold up play and strength.

Should shut him down for the rest of the season - let him have his surgery and comeback fresh for next year. We can easily cope with Conor playing beside Caicedo and bring Carney in as the 10 or Mudryk who plays better more centrally in the half spaces.

Well we will find out if this team has it in them to step up when the talisman is out injured.

These players fight over who gets to take a penalty in a game we are winning comfortably but when we need them to really step up and show why they deserve to take a pen they don't.

Incorrect we were set up to beat them and had more and better clear-cut chances that loss was not on Poch but the execution of the players both offensively and defensively. We stifled them for 83 minutes and should have been 2 or 3 nil up before they scored. Such is life the agenda against the man for past mistakes doesn't mean you can't objectively look at his work now.

The doom and gloom here after to losing to a veteran team of Man City even if they had just played Madrid is kinda crazy. We were set up to take the game to them and we did our finishing let us down again. Man City with their experience knew they needed just one chance and fortunately they got it. I know the loss stings but in 3 games this season vs City we have not been blown out and have been right there for the taking. City for years has crushed us minus the TT CL win. Over March and April I’ve seen a different Chelsea team still inconsistent but much better than the start of the year.

Oh absolutely you have all these players that are supposed to make an impact in your squad but they are on the sidelines

Naw Chillwell has had to go for since after we won the CL let's be honest. He's too injury prone and his decision-making in attack and defence is poor.

Yes sports psychologists do work but a club like Chelsea you believe we don't have that on payroll. My university in the US for D! soccer we had it. What I'm trying to say is that no matter how much a manager or a professional works with someone that still may not give results. It is not just this year that concentration at the back has been an issue however we purchased a bunch of ball-watching defenders and that has hurt us greatly this season. The exodus of AC and Rudi had us panic buy average defenders in Fofana, Koulibaly, Badi, and Disasi. At the time the market for WC CBs that were available wasn't there. Especially to a team that just came out of sanctions. If there is one thing we need to do this off season is replace our two main CB. I hate to say it but look at what Arsenal did and how having a solid backline has propelled them up the table.
