Strike

I'll take this! No serious injuries, no COVID or quarantine. Pulisic fit and ready to start, Werner down the middle.

5th choice CB. Good call from Frank - form over reputation

inb4 WHY ARE WE HAVING FRIENDLIES IN A PANDEMIC?

Anyone reported how serious?

Better actually that we have 28 yo Jorginho than 30 yo Pjanic

Yeah, a midfielder who understands where to be to stop counters would have been handy but I am comfortable addressing this position with a younger player in 2021.

Just based on how good Ruben was before the injury, I wouldn't rule out him coming good at Chelsea yet. His size and athleticism makes him stand out from the others you mentioned

The Athletic carry good info in their stories. Seems like Liverpool wanted to be in the loop, read that one other Spanish club also made an enquiry. I wonder if Chelsea are keeping tabs for a possible future bid

Has to go backwards and rebuild I think. Can't do that being on the bench at Chelsea

Reece James was in midfield for a few minutes at the end vs Brighton. He could be the extra option

Isn't Lampard huge on the All Blacks 'no dickhead' rule where players dont put themselves ahead of the team? Also, Drogba and Lampard had a row over the first penalty in that Wigan game before Lampard decided to hand the next one to Drogba

Odd move. Appeared as if there were plenty of options in the top 5 leagues

Yep the fear factor is well and truly gone

This Liverpool result could still be a one-off. Mane and Thiago to return, plenty of deflections went in yesterday

150 million bid for Jadon Sancho on deadline day

LOL Just laughing all the way

been a while too!

Not a firm no from Chelsea. Looks like we might sell next year if there is a replacement found

I think James over Azpi is the best backline

Don't think any of the Leeds guys would be half as good with us. It is the beauty of the collective -absurdly entertaining

Watching City - they almost never send a hopeful cross into the box. Wish Chelsea stopped this habit

Can't believe this hasn't been ruled out altogether yet by Frank. If CHO was valued highly when he was on the last year of his contract then imagine how much the asking price will be now? No way Bayern are stumping up the cash + he is in Lampard's plans. He has an excellent burst of pace and even with Ziyech, Pulisic around, CHO is a direct winger that who could be of real value to our attack this season
