It looked kinda grim the first 2 games, but wow how well Lampard has been doing in his first months as manager. Hopefully he keeps it up and improves!

Bulka, Ampadu and CHO train with the first team always, unless they are playing for the u21's in the next 3 days or some.

Come on its a photo shoot isn't it? Of course he wants the hair to look nice!

Seeing some comments on here dissing Rudiger. What did he do wrong exactly? He pushed the opposition player hand away at a free kick scenario. Nearly every player does that now and again. Then the player tried to make it look like he punched him and Rudiger scolds him (rightly so, we all should be able to agree on that this kind of faking has no place in the game). When Rudiger scolds him the player puts his hands on his throat! Then he tries to shake the players hand after the game and he is being bitter about it still, even after everyone knows he faked it. Rudiger is now getting a rep for being a "dirty player" because of the Pavard incident, which was an accident btw and even Pavard said it was not a problem. Players will try to use that to their advantage now if people keep on with this propaganda. Just you watch...

Surprised not to see any gifs or whatever of his save from a header in the last minutes of the game against Cardiff. The on where Luiz is supposed to have "fouled" inside the box. Its good for him to gel in while we have 70+ of the ball all game since he doesn't have to do that much. Hopefully that helps getting the "new team nerves" out.

We were close to signing him when Mourinho was here. He claimed he wanted us to sign him but Benfica were quicker.

Or he is getting better

Got an assist!

No haha I think its from Breaking Bad.

Bad couple of games. He must push upwards if he wants to maintain Rafa's trust. He is a loan player so Rafa will be fast to take him out of the team if he isn't performing...

Funny seeing the United fans talking about "what do you expect??? José asked for a center back this summer!". Well what are the mega money Bailly and Lindelof?

Wish Barkley would have poked it in. A goal for him would have done him good.

Wtf is this??? He did fine considering the fact that Newcastle had the box (Alváro's area of operations) on lock down the whole match. Did not see him put a foot wrong in this match tbh, the times he got the ball he distributed it well. I know he had a bad second half of last season but it is ridiculous to slate him every game he does not score a goal. Especially games that we won...

Yeah makes it look like Sarri is mean person or something haha

I think it shows great reflexes from him that he was close to saving it. Also was close with the Arsenal goals. Had no idea this would even be a topic of discussion

Seems he was training with the reserves this week...

I wonder why people think ex-players will always do great at punditry or managerial careers. Players get told what to do and how to do it by others, it just depends on if they can actually do what they are told. Then we have managers like Sarri (ex-banker) and Mourinho (ex-translator), who never were well known for their playing careers and they are two of the hottest managers in the game (granted Mourinho is not well received these days but he has won pretty much everything he can win).

They will be without Kenedy. He is, despite his last shocker of a game, one of their more important players.

Remember how Conte started his first season here? They also beat Oldham in a comfortable way in between those losses.

Same was said about Lukaku, KdB, Bertrand Traoré and more uno

Aina is a really promising player. I do not get putting in a option to buy, especially for such a low sum

As someone who loves his dog unconditionally I approve!

I am in some trouble. I will probably have to miss the game, but I was thinking that there must be a website that will stream/show the game soon after it finishes. Do any of you know a site like that?

On the Fifth Stand Chelsea app there is a text in one of the stories that came today that says something like: "stay tuned for further transfer news today". Maybe it was just news of Kovacic and a few loan deals, but somehow I'm optimistic the club has something up their sleeve.

I don't remember that at all. Everyone was rooting for him to take over that season, but were sad to see Cech go to Arsenal of all places. I myself wanted the change since it was a generational change where we had a young goalkeeper of great class and potential instead of one that was beginning to show his age a little bit. Also, Courtois was always supported here (even when he said some shit). Everyone rated him as one of the best in the world and we were proud to have him. I remember when we had a 2 legged league cup semi final where this forum went crazy with praises for him for weeks!
