If he is leaving, then hopefuly he delivers one last time at Bridge. He was quite off the pace in recent games.

This is the main difference between us and other teams. You have these average players like Origi, Wijnaldum, Moura, Henderson, Sissoko give 110 percent for their team in hard times. They step up and try their best. They are not top quality, so they never manage to keep that consistency, but when they get the chance, they are eager to prove to the team and fans. Our fuckers just stroll around. Imagine Higuain, Kovacic, Barkley.. putting that extra shift and work their ass of till the last second, or sacrifice for defensive duties? Nah, they are too entitled. They play to collect their paycheck and as soon things go south, they stop giving shit. We realy went way way off the road in recent years. First 11, bench, mentality,...all turned to bang average. If we somehow end up 3rd ahead of spuds, our mighty board will think we aint that bad at all. But its as far from reality as it can be. We should be 6th the way we performed this season.

Literaly the only thing good is that english football is on the rise again. I predicted english teams will rule again soon, every entitled barca/real fan laughed in my face, but it came sooner than expected. And where the fuck are we in all of this ffs.

If we aint gonna be 110% tomorrow, we are going to lose this. Im sure Frankfurt is super hyped up now after these two matches to turn it around.

Final between Liverpoo and Ajax would have been super interesting, but now we will have this shit instead... Hopefuly Pool wins. Cant stand Spuds thinking they are miles ahead of us and brag with fucking CL title. Dont fuck it up Salah.

Cant imagine how massive heartbreak is going on in the young ajax team right now. This could be the breaking point for many young players. Hopefuly they can overcome it.

Yesterday match will obviously inspire spuds to overcome Ajax tonight. Lets just hope Ajax is up for it or they will lose. I feel Spuds will go full power at them from the start.

Credit where its due fucking amazing game from the bindippers. My respect for this team is even bigger now, they shown fantastic grit and desire to win this game. Always nice to see barca twats lose too. I only feel sorry for Messi who is the last player in this barca team that still has class.

First he missed the training, then insulted Gatusso and on top of all been crap for the last few games. He definately isnt staying in milan. This dude could actualy pull it off as good midfielder regardless of the lack in technique, but he doesnt have a brain. No chance he will get anywhere near Sarri team. So either we sell/loan elsewhere for much less than what we paid for him or he will rot in reserves.

Wonderfull piece of interview here

He adds directness. Without him our midfield just passes sideways. RLC adds the necessary edge with his runs, dribbles, combination of technique and strength makes him quite unpredictable and efficient. He needs to gain match fitness that will allow him to play full 90 regulary and prevent injuries. Thats the key objective IMO. Then he will have the foundations to improve his overall performances even further in terms of end product and tactical aspects.

Some fans only smirk seeing Eden is about to leave, but the fact is he is the only piece that still connects us to being an elite club. Like it or not.

When was a one year loanee named captain of the team? Thats superb achievement.

Well he scored against us and we love to sign players that score against us. He is probably impressed with us and couple good words from our players after the match can turn the scales into our favour.

Yeah but they are in the semis of CL. Most would consider that better than winning EL. They also didnt spent anything last summer and they dont spend anywhere near as much as we do. They also play better football in general compared to us for the last two seasons. But spuds are big chokers and their expectations arent as high as ours, so the media loves to twist the stories a bit. However there is no doubt that Poch is better manager than Sarri.

Im perfectly happy with Kepa. Leno doesnt strike me as great keeper while Gulacsi is quality this year, I prefer younger gk to stay here for 10 years or so if possible. What I like about Kepa is that he has realy strong mentality. He came here as most expensive GK, but he didnt go down by pressure. Then he did that in the final and when he returned on pitch, it didnt affect him at all. Its also remarkable he "demands" to play all games, including cup games. One might see it as cocky, but IMO once he gains experience, he could be one of those characters on the pitch that help you win the games.

Yeah but some people thought he isnt good enough for us and wouldnt even give him a chance, as in ever. Thats the problem because we dont have faith in these players. I remember he was tacticaly average and didnt have intensity to his game, but he was extremely promising because he used his strength and ball control in very unique way. It was clearly visible he will improve with regular playtime and he did. I mean it took 5 min of that debut game vs city few years ago to see he is quite special. In all time I have seen Barkley, he never impressed that much. Im honestly a bit pissed we gave #8 straight to Barkley who proved jack shit. If RLC continues his rise, it would make sense to give him that number. Its just a number, but Im sure RLC would wear it with more pride than Barkley.

I laughed back then when people genuinely thought Barkley is/will be better just because RLC was more raw. Or when they were surprises he was picked for WC squad because apparently he wasnt anywhere near their level or ours for that matter. Glad he proved them wrong and our manager actualy gave him chance. Great player. I especialy loved how he reacted when he lost the ball. He immediately ran back to fix his mistake, usualy our players just stroll casualy. Thats a proper chels attitude.

United is out of CL spots reach now. Remember when Matic was being smart aas last summer...Someone should respond to Matic now https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2018/08/31/nemanja-matic-hits-back-at-chelsea-fan-over-manchester-united-dig-7901632/amp/

Rubbbeey

If we end up 3rd with performances like these, that got to be bigger miracle than leicester title run. We are beyond shit since november and still could be 3rd.

This is the problem with our club. The players want to fuck off the moment they dont play anymore. Cahill is 33 and should accept bench role if he was loyal to the club. Obviously his situation is extreme, but we had many players over the years who wanted to leave as soon as they didnt play. They dont like the club enough to fight for starting spot. On the other hand, our managers are awful too. They cut off certain players automaticaly no matter what. It should always be about fair competition. Anyone should have a chance to work hard and prove himself. But our managers pick players and cut out others without any chance. The players obviously know that.

We play in the new kits today

These two on the other hand actualy look great. I know alot of people hate new home kit, but IMO it will grow on you and wont be that bad at all. The black one is awesome though. Yokohama and logo is finaly entirely white as it should be on every kit. Hopefuly next season...

Okay the orange one is truly garbabe. Idea is somewhat decent, but the positioning, size and design of that lion makes it completely out of place. As if some amateur designer got plain shirt with instructions to put lion on the front.
