Strike

Zero aggression today. Not one outfield player has been 5/10.

I hope this is the game that benches Willian for good. Play CHO Pedro and Hazard in the wing positions

Actually playing well now, finally

Ampadu can cover both Jorgi and Cahill. Could become Eric Dier type player for us in few years. Rudiger-Luiz-Christensen-Azpilicueta-Ampadu is enough CB options to have as well.

Modric in 2010 anyone? Not happening.

Ah. What could have been. Arrived with so much hope. I think a lot of us here got carried away due to his performances in the Champions League with Juve in that run to the final. But on his own up-front, he was never the same. Goodbye, will hardly be missed on the pitch.

Can he play the Europa League?

Who will play Left Back when we want to rest World Class Alonso?

Marko Arnautovic: West Ham striker subject of £35m bid from China

My thinking is based off of Fabregas playing alongside Jorginho who was in the deeper midfield role the other day

Ampadu is the Jorginho backup then? Nice.

Decent shout for a summer striker signing

Should be ahead of Barkley in contention for a midfield role.

Fuming at Alonso

Frustrating. Fabregas has been great since coming on

Why isn't Loftus Cheek a starter yet?

TalkChelsea got its wish

While that is welcome, I hope this is not a signing made from the marketing point of view and that he has been signed because Sarri likes his style of play.

Sarri has shot down reports saying he is being recalled. Ah, shame. I hope the club is signing someone then.

Attack selects itself because of injuries, I guess. Willian and Morata to start. No longer confident of a win.

No place for him in Sarri-ball

or sign someone on loan and hope it works

Would be furious if the team drops two points after cruising through the second half

Fucking hell. Nervous heads
