Thanks to Spurs for taking points off Bournemouth

Might actually win vs Leicester 🥹

Don't trust our scouts with GKs

there is some nuance. leicester were more open when van Nistelrooy took charge. have changed tactics and are playing low block defensive football.

Injuries are tough but there have been players who've managed to come out of chronic injury problems. I am sure club has also learnt from the last couple of years about managing the squad Found it interesting that Liverpool when they were looking for a new manager valued Slot because his injury record was good. Not sure if Chelsea were even thinking of that when they were searching for a manager - all the talk was about tactics and playing a certain way.

Are we no longer in the conversation for a Diogo Costa or another keeper who's played well at a higher level?

Sanchez 🤦‍♂️

I think we are fine with James, Fofana, Lavia, Jackson returning

first ever in his professional career

Knocked Palmer off his rhythm

Here to watch Pedro Neto run into traffic

If we can get Fofana back on the pitch this month and Lavia and Jackson next month, there is still hope for top 4. Not because we're playing well but because everyone around us is inconsistent and will end up between 60 and 70 points

Southampton must indeed be shite

Southampton have looked like a team of high-schoolers the last few weeks but are looking like a credible team here

Just Fofana and Lavia back will make the team a lot more solid.

Okay half. Emery is a good tactician. He will figure out and respond to the change in the Chelsea system. And Villa have options on the bench too. This is far from over

Great save from Schmeichel

Reintegrate Veiga and Santos into the squad in the summer.

Yes, I'm just glad there's no buy option or obligation involved. He can come back and be useful for the XI

Weird how he was handled. Was a good pickup - glad it's only a dry loan. His physicality would have been of use in defense or midfield.

This is gonna get ugly. Team is lost and Maresca has no idea how to freshen up attack

Superb first touch from Mitoma

Already missing as a presence up front in the first few attacks

Starting well as always

If Maresca can be switched on and somehow get the attack working - we have Lavia coming back and I'm counting on less mistakes from the GK going forward. But that attack has look lost for two months now other than brief spells at the start of games.
