  1. How frustrating is this equaliser?
  2. That's not necessarily bad. One of the things I liked about Conte's first season was how no one took the team seriously until they won their 8th in a row at City
  3. Big fan of him and thought he was great when he broke out last year. Has all the makings of a top defender but with the lack of game time, I will accept it if he leaves (With a buy-back ofcourse) There's Ampadu and there's always Nathan Ake
  4. Should rotate the entire first eleven Caballero Zappa Cahill Ampadu Emerson RLC Fabregas Barkley Willian Morata Hudson Odoi
  5. The good part is this should lead to far more rotation in future Europa League games
  6. Everytime Willian and Hazard reached dangerous positions, the final ball was poor. I think the whole team should be rotated for the cup game against Liverpool
  7. this was my initial reaction too But I'm willing to wait till Matchday 3-4 to really assess how the youth are played. I think when Chelsea have tougher league games in the weekend, Sarri will be resting more of the team
  8. The entire stadium sings the N'Golo Kante song
  9. Similar to last season when he started with those goals against Tottenham
  10. This time last year, he was the hero against Spurs in Wembley But nothing has changed for me. Just like then, he needs to be rotated. Give Emerson a try and see how he handles it
  11. This is not happening on its own, let alone with Martial involved
  12. Never fully connected with the fans. He will go down in history as a good keeper but not as a legend at the club.
  13. Falcao in between. And Maniche I can think of.
  14. This. If Jorginho is unavailable then Kovacic can step into his position. This will do nicely and missing out on Golovin also worked out quite well!
  15. I like that the squad is not thin anymore and has decent backup players. Will need two players for each position with Europa League this year. Youngsters like RLC, CHO, Tammy, Ampadu could gain good experience rotating with the first team squad this year if they are retained.
  16. Cillessen and Areola are good keepers and if Real are considering giving Kovacic, why not Navas? You are missing the point however. A decent goalkeeper instead of a (potential) great one will not make a big difference to this team. After Neymar moved, goalkeepers like Leno, Perin (Juve) have moved. The Chelsea board has grossly misjudged the goalkeeper market this summer and are now paying the price with a panic buy. Questions need to be asked about it.
  17. Things will change. Quickly. New keepers will emerge, keepers will fade.
  18. Nope. Nobody would want that. Sign a different keeper as stop-gap
  19. Club should get their outfield targets
  20. Ederson, Pickford last season. Leno this season and this is in the Premier League alone. Goalkeepers don't always cost a lot like Allison. Areola is a good keeper and there are plenty of keepers available for less than 40 million pounds who could come and do a good job. If they are in form, there will be little difference from having Courtois or Kepa between the sticks, Would rather spend on other positions with two days left in the window and focus on getting a good keeper next season.
  21. Yann Sommer, Cillessen, Areola, Keylor Navas, Kevin Trapp, Off the top of my head
  22. Would pass on Kepa and sign a 30-40m keeper this summer
  23. This kind of money on Kepa and not Oblak? Too much money.
