Blue-in-me-Veins

No idea who plays nor do I care. Semi respectable first half, utter capitulation in the 2nd and beaten by a rotten man utd team. Sarri still in charge as the 4th spot sails into the sunset. 

This guy must be kind of frustrating to play with if you're a winger. Modern day fullbacks are supposed to provide the width, constantly overlap for wingers, be a dribbling threat & put balls into the box. Alonso on the other hand plays like a poacher.
He exploits the space Hazard attracts & creates rather than actually taking attention off him. Hazard is one of the best dribblers to ever play so it works somehow but I can't see him playing like this at any other club.
It's working so far though but it's just strange to see the leftback take up the wingers half-space to shoot, instead of stretching the play and creating space for the winger 

The Maurizio Sarri Sarriball effect: what's changed at Chelsea this season?

Fuck em mate.
Klopp,Poch and Pep had bloody allot longer to sort their lot out than Sarri has.
I dont think any of us are naive enough to think we would go thru the season without some bumps and bruises. Each games a lesson and as long as the lads learn from losses (and we lose with style and not giving in) then we take whats coming to us and make it harder for the bastards the next time.
I never imagined we would play like this again so I'm just happy to watch them right now.

Loaning out our best Striker. 

We have to improve in this area to play better against teams who play defensive, compact and narrow like newcastle. The only way is to stretch parked buses is by using the fullbacks to provide width and provide crosses like marcelo and carvajal do for madrid, Alba and roberto do for barca, Mendy and walker do for ManCity, Robertson and Alex Arnold do for liverpool.

We might not have an own goal to bail us out next time. So I hope sarri is working on this.

Its all that tight piggy in the middle training that the lads do continually. Concentrating with speed and keeping the ball flat. Going to be amazing in a few weeks. If only the lads had the full pre season doing it instead of the WC/Conte gate and traveling the world!

Apparently had 100+ touches today. When was the last time a non-defender, hell ANY Chelsea player had 100+ touches in a game vs the big 6? Certainly not under the previous regimes. Normally it was Courtois with the most touches  
Hopefully those days are gone and never to be remembered. No doubt Jorginho is one of the best deep-lying playmakers in world football. Still needs to adjust to the speed and tempo of the English game though. 

Alonso and Marcelo are the only players i ever saw that can be motm and worst in the pitch in the same game.

"We need to continue to press, press & press in the other half."
A refreshing change to say the least.

Serie A is quite popular in New Jersey actually because of the Italian Americans and in Miami La Liga of course.

Chelsea never sign my favorite players lol
I’ve been with this man since his Inter days. My fucking son will be in a Chelsea kit next season - these are genuine tears man. 
 

You will be doing your nut then wont you?
I can see right now before he touches a ball he will be amazing with the wee baldy man and Jorgi
I felt the same when Cesc joined us as he was a long time fave player of mine.

Agreed, It was a decision he needed to make to show his intent. Once the games start coming fast and furious he will be playing alot and in a system that suits his skillset. He looked to move the ball forward a bit quicker than Barkley on saturday. Obviously came on when huddersfield was tired but still, if he can build a bit each time he is on the pitch thats a positive for the team. Talk about an overhaul of our midfield from weakness to strength.

Still can't believe we signed my son Mateo Kovacic. Chelsea really signed one of my favorite players in footy. 
Time for Sarri to fix Kovacic after Zidane ruined his development. Madness incoming this season. 

Love the mentality of Ruben deciding to stay at Chelsea. 
He will get so much guidance and tutelage under Sarri training under him the entire season. And 2nd - with Europa league, I have no doubt he will get playing time and first team starts. 

No title challenge for us with him spearheading the way unfortunately guys.

In the minority here, but I’ve always been a supporter of Courtois. Man has been a fantastic GK for CFC. Just because he’s not a yer da ‘ blind loyalist shouldn’t lead to people acting like he wasn’t a Top GK for us. Let him go to Spain and be with his family, that's obviously at the heart of his refusal to extend his contract. 
People forget, but at the end, Cech was very shaky dealing with crosses, FKs & corners. TBO stepped in and showed A1 command of his penalty area. Admittedly, he hasn’t pulled off many “iconic” performances like Cech, DDG or even Atletico TBO, but he’s been solid nontheless.
