Also - suck shit NF. So glad we shit housed our way to a win with a bit of time wasting after their blatant cheating last week against West Ham. Couldn't have happened to a better team. Now lets raid them for Murilo.

Time to win the biggest trophy in Europe on Wednesday.

In all honesty though - all this complaining about a shitty rebuild, but here we are back in the CL in 3 seasons time, and we have a bunch of young and exciting talent here now, and more to come. Its different to Roman's style, but clearly, on the right track. We've played like absolute shit at times this season, but that is par for the course for any Chelsea season even when we won titles.

Same. Never a doubt in my mind. Everyone here talking top 5, but I knew we could do top 4.

Thats my keeper! Big Sanchez!

Chris "Wish he could" Wood.

I've checked. The clown bests the manager!

dude... wait for the goals to be confirmed

Can we at least try to play? Just inviting pressure now.

Its all coming up Milhouse!

GET IN MFERRRRRR

45 minutes of hoping has worked so far though. lol

Hold on Man U. Surely even you guys can draw against 10 men. Saves our useless team having to score.

Martinez just got a red card in the Villa game!

No way you blame that on the keeper. That is on his defenders.

If we have a Rogers on one wing and Cole on the other - or just goal scorers around the "striker" then we can get away with the Jackson/Delap type - ala Liverpool with Firmino. Saying that though - I think Delap on a better team becomes a decent goal scorer. From watching him he has nice technique with his striking and isn't afraid to crack it.

Not getting Dortmund vibes at all. People here are just spoilt and think rebuild means it happens in one or two years as we've previously been doing. Reality is it took City and a few other teams a few years to get it done. We were the most rapid and brutal with the way we did things - and in turn we were also the most up and down with success. I think they're trying to create an even deeper and more entrenched version of City - filtering youth into the top team and continuing the cycle for constant success and title challenges - on top of all that selling the young players for profit.

Rogers would be great business. Can play either wing, LW being helpful for us, and feel he has potential to even fill in at CF when needed. Best mates with Cole as well from the looks of things. I really don't think Sesko, Gyokeres, Osimhen or anyone bar Isak are world class and surefire locks to bang in goals in the PL. So I think getting someone like Delap as competition for CF is fine and seeing how he pans out. 40 mil or whatever it is really isn't breaking the bank, and can move him on if he doesn't turn into what is expected. Rodrygo would be great, but I'd be chuffed with Rogers. Left hand side with Cucu and Rogers (with Felix/Noni as backup?) sorted. Right with Neto/Estevao and James/Gusto sorted. Cole in the middle. Delap/Jackson partnership I think would do okay and can always look to upgrade. Our midfield is set for years. Just need to focus on CB's from there.

Felix is fine as a back up option and cup games. He can make impact on games, but for 50 mil, better to move him on and try and recoup.

Eh - I just don't think he will be the impact player he is in the PL.

Wirtz seems like a nice enough player - but definitely not the crazy money that is getting talked about. Rodrygo, a decent striker and just one good CB is what we need. Simple business. Get rid of Disasi, Nkunku, Badi, Fofana, Mudryk, Sancho and Chillwell.

We really don't need any more creative, build up type players/strikers. Get someone who can finish. Cole is sitting at top of chances created, and Enzo is somewhere up there too. Just get someone who can put them in the fucking net.

Neto and Estevao on the right is sorted IMO. Cole and Estevao playing the 10 role. Jackson and a top tier striker will sort us. I think our midfield is set between Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Santos and Essugo. Between Gusto, James and Acheampong - I think we're good at RB. LB probably need a back up for Cucu. CB needs work and keeper. Basically we need a top striker, a decent LW, a CB and a keeper. LB can find someone in the academy to bring up and makeshift Gusto when Cucu needs a break. Rodrygo, Osimhen and Murilo.

Believe with me. Its fucking NF. If we can't beat them, we don't deserve it. Lads will step up.

Always the optimist.
