Magic Lamps

Shame Pedro looked lovely and always gives his all

No one needs a pure pass master anymore tho and he is not even that good a long range passer. Lamps had Jorginhos short range passing and tactical awareness + goals, assists, steel and long range passing. How much a player like him.would.improve this system

Alonso is so horrid

Even Rüdiger is having a nightmare

We are except he never played fkn false 9 with him

I hate getting picked off on the counter.

Kovacic is so shit

Nah i think it was a decent tey..dat pace tho

What i hatr is that we are so predictable and one tricknpony with this. We habe to rely on individual play. No aerial threat and no threat from distance sonthey can comfortably Cover hazard, pedro and Jorginho

Still, RLC is 10 times the player Willian is even at RW and can even be a focal point for long balls. Jorginho and kovacic are not good enough atm too

So sick of this lineup. 0 attacking threat and our Flanks will be so exposed.

Why shouldd real do sich a deal tho? They can get eden for 0 in 2020 so why fiving away two of their better young players. I reckon we will be lucky to get 80m for him in summer

76m.for a fullback is madness. And it's it that th is their most urgent position when they have kimmich and Alaba.

Remeber too well bc i was banging on about how we should sign him. He is injury prone tho

but what kind of draw was that? a spurs and an arsenal fan drawing four balls out of something with sucha big hole everyone can read a number out of it and they still end up giving manCity the free one?

its spurs and mancity with city of course getting the gift

Spurs celebrating like they won the trophy. As if they will not get spanked by City

Wilson is so brilliantly suited to playing with Willia both dont know the offisde rule. Future of CFC

No. This is exactly how we assembled a squad full of average players. Buying them cheap, after lengthy injuries, at an age where they will hardly improve significantly any more. Sure there is always a possibility they will turn out world-beaters but that is like 1% and 99% of times they will end up with way too fat contract riding our bench or being loaned out because they can not be re-sold immediately being on that big money. We still got some of those on loan and we got Drinkwater, BArkley, Emerson, Alonso, Willian, Giroud, Morata in the squad. We are a top club or are supposed to be one and the only acceptable policy is buying genuine, proven quality or absolute top class talent and pay what is necessary or dont. But do not go for 2nd rate players, even if they are on a purple patch just because it is less risky. This is fine for mediocre clubs who can not afford or attract absolute top quality and thus settle for ok players for ok prices because the risk is low. That is how so many clubs like Bayern after their CL win 2001, the Milans more lately, Lazio before, many previously very successfull German clubs like HSV, BVB, more recently ManUtd (who admittedly took risk by overpaying for average players) relegated themselves from CL winners to mediocre squads not able to compete internationally. This took those clubs 10+ years to recover if at all. We can not have this. Not even for squad players. There is a constant outflow of world class talent in this club, mostly because of incompetence by the board so if we continue selling our better players and assembling "squad" players who we can not get rid of we will be more and more reliant on those. Look at it this way. We sold Felipe Luis and Bertrand, bought Emerson and Alonso, sold KDB Salah, bought or retained Pedro and fucking Willian who are still at the club, we sold Costa and Lukaku bought Morata and Giroud, we will lose Hazard- currently our main striker and - what - buy Callum Wilson? I know its not planned to be a 1 on 1 replacement but it could very well turn out to be if we continue to fail landing our major targets. If we want average players to be the solution, well congratulations, we got an academy full of average players who will cost us peanuts and at least give a shit about the club. If this club goes down to mediocrity which it bloody looks like at the moment I would rather want this to happen fighting with young, homegrown Chels than with some random donkeys like the Moratas, Willians and Alonsos of this world who we signed as replacements for the rare successes of our scouting system which we graciously donated to our main rivals.

Dont think those two will even line up. I hope we see CHO, Emerson, Barkley and RLC from the start, Giroud up front and no Willian. Throw in a few starters like Kepa, Azpi, Rüdiger and Jorginho in for good measure.

Conte with their unlimited funds will be dangerous. I think Mourinho will have one more stint at Real.

He's only got contract till 2020 so not much we can do about it. i can so see him tearing bundesliga apart so better fucking make him sign a new one. If we lose both Hazard and CHO with Willian and Pedro staying i will lose all faith in the club.

yeah but in the end their goal was their only real chance, defended well except for that. what a tank RLC is milked minutes off the clock with his size alone. ^but after the 2-0 we were so wasteful. hazard and rlc both should have scored and willian was once again a pain to watch.

Others will step up. Omg Willian just retire

Beautiful
