Strike

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

Not out of sight yet. This defense needs a cleansheet to gain some confidence

If Pulisic can go today then Pulisic for Tammy and Timo up front has to be the change soon

Better performance. But still side-to-side and cross FC

Nonetheless, a small upgrade in the position with lesser tendency to do a seek-and-destroy job in midfield

Has played as the lone DM. Remember him against Liverpool earlier this year in which he was excellent

Falk got that Mount story wrong this summer

I am having doubts over those figures. Matt Law said the Chelsea asking price was 30m and no club matched it.

Chilwell will start at LB

Wondering if anyone knows if his visa issues are what's keeping him away

Could we see Roman attend the game?

In before we are 2-1 in the 75th minute against Rennes on final day needing a win to qualify

Drogba and Malouda doing us a solid.

Lampard's quotes suggest he's on his way too and there will certainly be interest for him.

Yep. Makes me think there's a midfielder signing in the last few days

Werner should play down the middle again with Havertz behind him. Hopefully, on Saturday we will see this. This season was always going to take a while to get going. Players don't have an attacking plan at the moment. The end of the game told you everything. Team held possession for a good few minutes but went nowhere with it except for side to side.

Retain Malang Sarr and send Emerson and Alonso out? Or make Azpi backup LB. Just thinking of solutions in-house. Too much of a leap for Maatsen to take up that role.

Collectively poor in the second half except for Kante who was fresh. Tough luck for Mount. Penalty is a lottery. Anyway, not bothered about Carabao Cup this year when the season is so packed. At least helps free up fixture congestion in December.

This should end the Chilwell-Reguillon comparisons for a while

Why play a full strength team? Spurs will definitely rotate with Thursday in mind. Can give gametime for guys like Ross, Oli and Tomori
