Strike

Need to find a solution. Moises was the only mid defending the last two Liverpool attacks

100million DM getting a yellow at the start of a crucial away game for dissent. You can’t make this up

Poch hasn't exactly pushed back in these situations. Seems passive to me. Even when saying the right things, the intensity is just not there.

Read an interview of Santos where he said that he was part of the decision making process to go to Forest on loan. Many fans pointed out Forest is a bad idea back then

We have to. The mistake was signing him and making him first choice with only Broja as backup. I’m hoping having Nkunku back will help his play and output.

Eze seems a good midfielder and able to contribute in the final third

Do we need anyone ? Options look thin. Sensible to sit out

The most sensible transfer window by Boehly and Co so far

Nkunku played behind Jackson in pre-season. I think that will happen again if Nkunku keeps himself fit.

Unreal hate for someone who’s 22 and in their first season in England. Has 7 goals in half a season and having him is clearly better than having no striker or Broja up front

Unreliable source

He will be a perfectly good backup player to have in the squad I feel

Nkunku available according to the papers.

Ornstein saying Chelsea might still do the Jhon Duran deal but won't be signing Benzema. Connor, Trevor and Broja can all leave. Wolves and Fulham have interest in Broja but nothing concrete.

Chelsea preparing a bid for Blackburn's Adam Wharton. 19 year old Blackburn mid. Palace had a 18m bid rejected for him recently. Looks good on YouTube but wondering what's the point of stockpiling. There's already Santos, Casadei, Ugo, Lavia

Says he’s done. No energy

Can sacrifice Gallagher for Chukwuemeka and bring in Chilwell at LB. Otherwise the same team

Plot twist - Drogba is warning Osimhen to not join Chelsea

If the club sell Broja there are not many options in the market. Who else do you suggest bringing in January ?

Happy because of that first half performance. Replay date is not set yet but it looks like it will be in the midweek between Feb 4 (Wolves home) and Feb 12 (Palace away). Not too bad

Good pressing so far. Should be the baseline pressing level from now
