Strike

Excited to see how Callum gets on.

Could do nothing about that tbh

CALLUM!!1

Disappointing that its not a psychologist up front.

Leicester have won! Ah man. Could have been part of this title race. Hope we win against Watford and keep in touch with City/Spurs

The frustrating part is that other than Morata, who failed spectacularly, and Costa, who did well, the club has not signed a first-choice striker in about 7 years. You'll have to go all the way back to Torres in 2011. I am sick of temporary solutions - Ba, Eto'o, Remy, Drogba (second time), Falcao, Pato, Giroud. (Not including Michy since he was a young prospect) Only reason, I would be okay with another stop-gap is because good strikers may not be available in January to be signed. This summer, the club desperately needs to bring in a quality striker

If the loan swap is simply till the end of the season when we will sign the actual first-choice striker, then why not? Adding Higuain surely cannot be worse than what the club has right now.

Agreed. New full backs with Azpi and Alonso for cover sounds great

Bring in a new LB and keep Alonso as a backup option

22 years old. English. Tracks back. Looks rock solid at Left Back and has his best years ahead. The club should be looking at him as an option.

It was a stupid loss in many ways and I think that this is proving worrisome. Every few games there seems to be one performance where the attackers are out of ideas.

Don't see Poch swapping Spurs for United. I hope it is Conte or Zidane. Not too worried by either. Even Giggs or Carrick would be cool

How good is Allison?

Buzzing from the win! Luiz was immense. Even Rudiger was a rock. What I loved was that the defense never panicked in the face of that City pressing. Even towards the end of the first half the team was trying to calmly play its way out of the back instead of hitting it long. The team totally shut City down in the second half.

Luiz was a rock. Everyone was at least 6/10 today. And the defense calmly played their way out in the face of that city pressing

The beginning of the revival. Loftus-Cheek, Emerson, Giroud and Pedro to start. Chelsea to win

There is a feeling Sarri blew it today. Completely unnecessary loss. But I don't think this is the beginning of the end for Sarriball. If you read this thread, it seems like the AVB or Scolari days. Even though we are fifth it is not even close to being as bad as those years.

Classic TalkChelsea meltdown. Still time to turn this around

Harsh. I dont think you remember how we were under Scolari.

I was okay with all the rotation except for Cesc coming in for Jorgi

No choice but to rotate I reckon. Loftus-Cheek should get a start.

70 mil for someone whose contract expires in a year? Pass.

Forever a legend at the club. Thank you for the memories

His two title-winning goals vs United stick out (2006 and 2010 when he backheeled a Malouda cross at OT) Time does fly. Great player and great character at the club

Even if Kovacic does not come in Jorginho - Kante - RLC - Barkley - Mount - Fabregas(?) is plenty
