  1. Read somewhere on Twitter. They should do Chelsea v ManU - loser gets Sancho at the end of the season. It will be box office and sell out Wembley because both teams will be going for it
  2. Unnecessary moves at the end of the summer window : Felix and Sancho. Added nothing. More work and financial losses to get them out, did not even fit their philosophy of going for youngsters. Only more evidence for the fact that ownership has no idea what its doing
  3. It is not humanly possible to focus on integration of so many players at once. We are headed for another ridiculous summer where our main weaknesses are not addressed but we have a production line of the best rated teenagers
  4. Raphinha and Dembele were major targets in 2022 and have been brilliant this season in their new teams. We ended up signing Sterling that summer 🤦‍♂️ I would be happy if the board signs just 3-4 players this summer : Serious keeper (Diogo Costa?), CB (Murillo?), LW (Nico?) and ST (Gyokeres, Delap?) Weed out the dead weight : Keep, Chilwell, Chalobah, Tosin, Disasi, Sterling, KDH, Sancho, Nkunku and more. Loan Paez and Estevao unless they are super impressive in their first few weeks here and don't need much of an adaptation period.
  5. Not good enough and we can do way better. Odd that we bailed United out when we really didn't have to.
  6. No sign Forest are slowing down. Their defense is actually good - allows them to play a counter attacking football
  7. Newcastle have a far easier run in than Chelsea. Maybe ahead in the table but the advantage can be wiped out quick : as soon as this weekend when we face Arsenal
  8. Caicedo is levels above Connor but I agree selling Connor after he had kept himself fit and had a good season was baffling logic. Would have helped ease the midfield worries we've had this season
  9. really got away with a cleansheet. Sanchez was flapping about for some of the crosses
  10. Thanks to Spurs for taking points off Bournemouth
  11. there is some nuance. leicester were more open when van Nistelrooy took charge. have changed tactics and are playing low block defensive football.
  12. 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.
  13. Are we no longer in the conversation for a Diogo Costa or another keeper who's played well at a higher level?
  14. I think we are fine with James, Fofana, Lavia, Jackson returning
  15. first ever in his professional career
  16. Here to watch Pedro Neto run into traffic
  17. 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
  18. Southampton have looked like a team of high-schoolers the last few weeks but are looking like a credible team here
  19. Just Fofana and Lavia back will make the team a lot more solid.
