DH1988

Shove in the back, issue is the consistency, same goal next week gets VAR checked and chalked, that's the kicker.

Referring to my post a few weeks ago re: Sancho. Looks a completely different player even than at Dortmund post United, so odd. Good for us, obviously, 45 minutes in but he's nothing like he was. Maybe having the going squad of Noni, Cole etc helped heaps.

14 yellows.

Shame he's been one of our biggest issues tonight, sadly, but you do love to see it.

You're blessed 😊

What was Maresca booked for? I was out the room.

He must change CM

Card happy much?

Casadei or Felix, MOVEMENT in there, that's the issue, or an issue, rather. Veiga is just too slow in transition right now.

CM is the issue, I know the defence but the movement isnt there as options, he's got to change it up.

Veiga looks as slow as Disasi, no dynamics in the middle of the park, surprised no KDH in the squad.

Somewhat agree, plan B has been an issue for us since Giroud left, not that Niclas was the answer, and possibly neither was Vlah a few years ago (When Poch first came in) but I saw the Llorente vibes there, was just crazy money at the time.

I've said here before that I think we'd all for the most part have made mistakes taking over a winning machine, some I'll advisors whispering initially. I lump both groups together in that, Todd was just the face, but he's the fan, gun to my head, I'd lump for Todd over Eg. It seems good that both parties want it sorted quickly, understandably sound and they are money men, if legally they can make a good profit, great. We need the stadium as well and it seems to have stalled completely since we agreed the pensioners housing buyout.

£25m sure, are his wages covered by United at the moment? I assume so due to us getting no loan fee for Sterling and still paying the bulk of his wages.

Is anyone really expecting anything out of this lad? On a serious note, what a complete waste of a transfer in my eyes, more interested in parties/diamonds and such.

I can honestly see those mugs changing the rules on PSR after we've sold all of our homegrown talent. As Enzo said, it's a rule problem, not a Chelsea problem. If the rule was changed there is no shot we would consider selling Trev over Disasi for example.

"Probably one thing that has to be clear, Chelsea three years ago won the Champions League but now it is not that kind of Chelsea so now sometimes if you dont win it is normal."

Horrid game, this and that but ultimately the story is that Palace should have been down to 10. That ref had an absolute shocker with bookings.

Sanchez under pressure, Christ

Sancho, and possibly Raheem going with an option to buy. You can only hope that Arsenal cover his wages and we've done this to try and flog him to Saudi next year.

Doesn't surprise me with Napoli tbh, ultimately let them keep him on his ridiculous wages there and being pushed out for Conte's son.

Carney needs a season at Palace or Fulham.

Holy moly, KDH doesn't okay mega often, Grealish was shite his first season, no I'm not comparing the two, but players need time to bed in. I accept we've shown more patience than others, Misha, but we've been very guilty on shipping out talent that became world class or close to. Not saying he is or would be world class but when watching that team when Barnes etc were there I thought that's a player I'd like to see. Patience, how was Moises the first 6-8 months?

Haven't looked up raheems book value but not to get a fee would be criminal, ala Kovacic.

That is absolutely beyond bonkers salary wise. Please do not sign this chap, reeks of mediocrity and lack of self belief to decline a performance based contract. Excluding Saudi money, which Id take in a heartbeat.
