  1. The goal was unlucky but baka and the wing backs have been appalling
  2. yeah some really tough fixtures incoming in the knock out stages with all the english teams qualifying. But does a draw with atletico not suffice to get top spot? We have a way better goaldiff than them or is this still this mini table direct encounter bullshit?
  3. dafuq is Morata doing today? completely off the pace.
  4. But is that true? I think for chelsea at least there has to be an exception. We always had good defences stacked with quality cbs like jt, carvalho, alex, luiz and fullbacks like cole, azpi, luis, prime ferreira, prime iva and dms like kante, ess, maka. As for attackers the only absolute worldclass ones in the last 10 years were Lamps, drogs and Hazard. Robben and kdb we lost to early and diego, morata, mata were or are not quite that level
  5. Speaks for itself that all top 3 had thos first 50 games at chelsea
  6. I hope we can rest at least two of Hazard, Fabregas and Morata as well as one of the fullbacks. But other than that I think all will be fit anyway as no one really broke a sweat in the 2nd half after having the points in the bag. Fingers crossed that we score a few early goals in Baku as well so we can take off some of the big guns and let the others stay on the bench. I would honestly consider starting Kenedy and Bats in this one.
  7. I think people are getting way too much carried away with him and his potential and all the Pogba comparisons do not help either. RLC is a decent player, good on the ball, carrying it and stuff but he has literally 0 output and that is not because we never gave him a chance here, he also had 0 output in our youth teams and at the same time he offers no defensive protection. So tell me which player a team should sacrifice for a midfielder or second striker with that very profile? I get it,people like him, even I like him, he is from our academy, he is big, he is English, looks super cool and the way he moves looks just so elegant and effortless. I bet he is a great guy too. But having him in the team he and giving him playing time, he needs to offer something over some other player in roughly his position. Which is what I do not see. Not even over Fabregas, Drinkwater or Willian. Hence that loan was not only necessary it was overdue.
  8. There is a book about the things Willain does not know and that book is called encyclopeadia.
  9. Feels like an eternity. Scrap international Football already .
  10. 40m is indeed too much but he is a far superior player than Matic.
  11. Tbf they could have scored one or two goals but we should have scored double digits . esp morata and baka where so wasteful should take some finishing practice
  12. So unlucky in the finish today or should i say incompetent? If you do not use your chances
  13. Even in slomo that phil jones og looks perfectly legit
  14. Leaving London =/= leaving Chelsea FC You can live outside London and still play for us. Numerous of players have lived near the HQ at Cobham. Morata is a sensitive guy so ome can understand he does not like the metropolitan life in a mega city but believe it or not there are places in England not called london. So no need to panic.
  15. I also think we will never see him again unless Kenedy, Azpi and Alonso all get injured upon his return to fitness. Which is a shame. We bought him for an extraordinary amount (which in the first place was an act of stupidity against which many users here warned against just as we did against the sales of Luis and Bertrand aka the far supeiror players he ought to replace), so we should give him a genuine chance to fulfill his (mediocre) potential. On paper he seems perfect for the LWB with his pace and crossing ability and for sure can not be less solid than Alonso at the back. But I guess Alosno is just Conte's Ivanovic.
  16. Fabregas is a player with such an individual skillset that it is hard to simply upgrade on him. You probably rather buy an alternative to him someone who offers different qualities but you will bot get a better version of the same player. Goretzka is basically the German Bakayoko. Really similar players.
  17. Benn coming since fab missed that sitter
