Magic Lamps

We miss Lamps as he always scored vs westham

I think what you are trying to say is how great Oblak was yesterday and that he basically (with the help of Willian) saved Atletico a point.

Dreadful finishing and the runs from Batshuayi for that Willian counter situations were not optimal either so you can't really blame willian for his shitty timing and passing but if someone would have made a decent run he would have had no choice.

This is getting annoying how lucky City are. They are the best side in the country by a landslide but this is still more luck than they deserve

Getting that amount of stoppage time for a half that was of rather average time delays is just criminal. For some reason the FA want them to win it. Rather them than Jose tbf. We should just focus on the cups as we will not win the CL. But win Carling and FA and it still will be a good season.

what a frustrating match. so relieved in the end. ugly goal as well from an unlikely source. yeah and give city the title already. when you get 7 mins of time added for a half with 2 goals, no red cards and no injury lay offs then you know who the refs are with.

So lucky Swansea were even worse at crossing than we do. At some point MOrata has to put his scoring boots on. The centrebacks were class today tho. Especially Cahill. Credit where its due but the way he marshalled Bony limited them to no real chances.

I think not even torres at his best has produced as many turnovers as sanchez today. The boy is a catastrophe. If bakayoko was that shit the meltdown here would break the internet

His main deficiencies are decision making, reading the game, positioning and conposure. Not much to do with his knee.

The Ramires of wingbacks. Skinny, fast and clueless on the ball.

He is so unlucky at times its not even funny.just not a born finisher. Brilliant player tho. We would not have won e.g. A bournemouth if not for his great work. But he needs to learn how to score dirty and easy striker goals.

We have not even been bad. We actually were ok but just unlucky on both ends. Quality pool are just as average but they have it more evenly distributed

The goal was unlucky but baka and the wing backs have been appalling

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?

dafuq is Morata doing today? completely off the pace.

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

Speaks for itself that all top 3 had thos first 50 games at chelsea

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.

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.

There is a book about the things Willain does not know and that book is called encyclopeadia.

Feels like an eternity. Scrap international Football already .

40m is indeed too much but he is a far superior player than Matic.

Bzw has he been called up again?

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

Omg we are ao wasteful
