Mitoma should have two yellows by now and been sent off. Had like 4 dives.

I'm not doubting our ability to score and win games - but does anyone think this is a tactical decision for our team to sit like this and bring on pressure on to ourselves? We used to dominate possession and look the better team and lose. Now - there are nervy moments, times without the ball, and yet we are pure precision when we go forward. I'm hoping we find a happy medium somewhere, because it seems too chaotic to me - but again, maybe Maresca knows that high line is there, and told the players be patient and we will break them down?

I actually laughed out loud.

When people said Cole was Hazard level I scoffed a bit. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I thought he was great in his own right, but he compares to a lot of great, great players already .

Palmer is ridiculous.

Sub Noni and Sanchez.

Sanchez can't start anymore.

lol who cares. Top bins.

That should be a red. I think the penalty was a 50/50 call, but that was cynical and no one is stopping Noni there.

I thought the penalty was soft. But that pulldown on Madu was a red card.

Sanchez needs to go to the bench. Always panic stations with him.

Nothing to do with the 115 charges. No surprise it’s Matt Lawton reporting this and trying to spin a positive light on things. Same guy who kept saying we were done and gonna be caught out by FFP. He’s clueless.

Ibrahim Rabbaj - @Vesperdo you know anything about this youth player in our academy. Heard he is playing u16 and has 120 G+A in 52 matches or something ridiculous. Looks like Messi https://www.reddit.com/r/chelseafc/s/WEcKphk4O9

What are his elements of far rightness?

Yes going on Reddit and seeing what a bunch of left leaning people think doesn’t mean it is. In the same way if right leaning people labelled Harris as a communist and akin to Venezuela in terms of how she runs things. Neither of these comments hold any merit. And politically - in his first term - Trumps actual policies were far more centric left leaning than right. No one actually wants to dive into that debate. His rhetoric and any behaviours you want to disagree with - whatever - but his policies, particularly economy wise aren’t close to this right leaning viewpoint.

lol no. Anything that isn’t left these days is deemed far right. You really want people to sit here and believe 50% are far right? What a ridiculous statement. It’s closer to the 1-5% range.

Basically - he is dumb as bricks and we can’t fix that. But maybe if we limit him to certain things he can be valuable.

When is Lavia back? Was he available for our last game but just didn't get on?

City are the most disgusting team out. BS red card and all that time and still barely scrape a result. Can’t wait for them to get punished.

So glad we didn't get Duran. Clearly unproven and guys - he doesn't even start for his team! Can't be good enough!

Caicedo is holding up his end - Enzo needs to step up his level of play. Feel like Enzo needs to be in a 3 man midfield.

Some of my takes from the game: - Sancho is a massive upgrade. He didn't exactly thrive this game as it wasn't set up for him, but he never wastes anything and is good at picking the ball up with hit back towards the goal and holding players off. He is fucking phenomenal in the box with his silky feet - absolutely the best we have in that regard. There was a play where he had the WHU defenders on skates in the box. Despite how well we do offensively now - I think there is still games where we struggle when teams sit back deep against us, and he is one of the keys for breaking teams down. - It is nice having options like Neto and Sancho, and Felix available because we aren't as reliant and predictable. Cole was a non factor for most of the game, and he still chipped in and we still won comfortably. - Tired of hearing people saying "Jackson isn't the number 9 we need going forward". This guy is a phenomenal player, and nitpicking when he doesn't score is crazy. Drogba wasn't a prolific scorer either, but its the things he did around that - yet we don't dare sully his name. He is also scoring the important ones to put us ahead, or first goals this season. Even at CP - he missed some chances, but he was self creating out there in the ones he missed. - I get Malo is injured, but we need a makeshift fast unit who can play left and right back so we don't have to see Disasi and Wesley out there, especially against pacey and strong wingers. I don't care what anyone says Adama Traore is the kind of profile you need when you are having issues 1vs1 on those flanks. Get a fucking unit out there who will bully them and not let them have an impact, especially when that is their only good looking avenue to goal in the game. - Tosin makes me more comfortable alongside Colwill... - I know we played on the counter today, but I think our midfield issues at times are simply due to numbers. We rely on less players in midfield to try and win with the numbers we have forward. And we don't have anyone who is super effective at dropping deep and building up play IMO, as our forward players are better at pressing in a defensive sense, then dropping and keeping spaces occupied. I'd love to see a 4-3-3 where Lavia, Caicedo and Enzo are on together in games where we need control.

Enzo's level of play has been subpar, but the fact he patted him on the stomach and said "Go ahead" is some of the most top tier shithousery I've ever heard of. That is brilliant.

Our away jerseys are actually beautiful.

Tosin has been great the last 135 minutes.
