Two of Chelsea's January arrivals - Mykhaylo Mudryk and Noni Madueke - were influential going forward, but struggled to track back and Rice cited that as an area where West Ham were able to enjoy some success. He said: "With the team they put out they started really sharply, really quickly. They had some really, really good players on show. It took us a little while to get going and adapt to their system. "But once we found out their weakness, getting the ball down the sides of them and realised their wingers weren’t really tracking back. We managed to get the goal from that and exploit that. The last 20 minutes was there for us and we could have nicked it." https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/declan-rice-comments-joao-felix-29195651 Interesting comments by Rice...

I figured they using the Arteta example, which is the one I always used. Makes sense, hence why I been saying that this season is a free pass for him. So I don't bother much with results in this season as many here. Just as long we are not in relegation, but I do hope that by the end of the season there's some positives to take.

I wonder if Atletico will take a couple of players from us? You think they might want Lukaku?

lol I did not say 5 years. I say wait till the summer to see if there's progress. We are February for crying out loud, season is lost we are not going anywhere. Not much to do but just finish the season and see if Potter and team do improve between now in the summer to give us a glimpse of hope for next season. I do like Enzo and we can build a team around him.

They would have done the same with Tuchel but he picked a fight with the wrong people. He is the only one to blame himself because for the first we got a owner who is patient and will give time.

Wasn't this guy bought for wingback? If i vaguely remembered the games he played as wingback he did good. Maybe that is his only good position? Because everything else he is not good....altough I did mentioned trying him in DM to take over Kante position. I would like to see if that works.

I agree we have improve and we will continue to improve. Don't understand why getting all worked on since this season is lost anyways. What we need to is improvement from here on to the end, and what I saw at West Ham despite the tie was just that. We need to see this more and more in the coming games. Then end the end of the season we could make a fair assesment if the improvement was good or more of the same.

I feel the same. Just don't start cucu, what a waste.

Yes and cucu is not even charging up like James nor good at passing. Without a doubt one of the worst transfer this summer. I will take him out and put chillwell... But then again it might not be any good since chillwell is also back from injury and not in good form.

I wonder if we should play cucu in the mid? Like kante position. What do you guys think? He picks up a lot of the ball, maybe in the mid he might do better?

Mistake for the first goal. Really he has not been that good. The summer transfers are among the worst. Reminds me of a time with conte that we bought nothing but crap one summer.

Thanks, I so hope we get his permit. I want him to play with us now. It's a lost season so best to continue giving these new younger players the game so they can gel with the team and be in a better position next season.

So what is his style? How he will fit with Enzo? Is he like Kova?

Well before getting going at front the first thing to fix is defense. So bad that he is not for CL, but hey we pay Felix loan so we couldn't do that. He is still young and getting a lot of game time. I suspect that KK will do okay at least in CL, since he has experience that. PL just keep with Badiashile.

If your using Arteta to compare he was very bad for like two seasons if I'm not mistaken. Not the best example to make your case.....

And Klopp is world class and got dominated by Wolves. I don't think making those comparisons are the best to make your case.

I like what I saw from ddf. Was better then kai in that position. He should be giving the go as striker.

Yes too me he was worth the money, because he is what we need and he has that tenacity to outlast in this league. That style reminds me of verrati, very feisty player but can pick up a pass. I like it a lot, let's build the team around him.

Seemed more lively then Havertz in that role. But he still raw. Let's see if a loan will work out for him.

We need midfielders he should be brought here. Gallagher in the mid next to Enzo is not going to be the solution. Dang I would have loved Caicedo and Enzo. We would have been resolved.

Yeah crazy to write him off. I still think the guy is good and will come good. Just that team chemistry is so bad at this moment and not to mention that mid besides Enzo is bad. Can't wait for other players that work in the mid to be back because we need that balance there.

Klopp team losing 3 to 0 to wolves yet klopp is world class....

I don't know if having Reece back so soon is good. Hopefully he does not play him full 90.

They are definitely doing amazing job. Summer was a noob transfer, but they learned and what they did this winter showed me that. They learned fast and that is what I wanted them to do. Really excited with the new owners as we will continue to grow. From Roman to Todd couldn't have been better.

Yes what we need it for a long time! Now in the summer to get his perfect partner that will rule the mid for many years to come.
