It is not like Kante does not do any defensive duties any more. He still does a lot and RLC is defensively solid too. He is a good tackler and he uses his body really well to start counter attacks after he wins a ball. I think it will be better having Kante and RLC play along side rather than Jorginho and Kante together. because RLC gives us a physical domination in midfield, which in big games can be a huge factor. Also, Mount is pretty solid at pressing and wins tackles too. I don´t think that we would lack in the defensive point of view having RLC-Mount-Kante. But I agree. We need better defenders. I hope that Rüdiger gets to his best, but I also don´t think that he will be the solution. We need to spend big next transfer window on a world class defender

RLC as a no. 10 will not work because he is not that good at it. He always was a no. 8 at youth level and he performed brilliant at Chelsea last season as a no. 8 under Sarri. As a no. 10, you waste his potential. When Lamps wants to play 4-2-3-1, just let Kante and RLC be no. 8 in that position. If RLC does his Yaya Toure runs, Kante can back up, if Kante wants to go forward, RLC can cover his position depending on the whole situation. In the big games, I see Lamps playing a 4-3-3, so RLC and Mount can play together and Lamps already said that all mifielders will have freedom, so RLC, Mount and Kante can use all their strenghts. Lamps is not that position focused

Mount and RLC are completely differnet player with different strenghts and weaknesses. Lamps and Stevie were pretty similar in their style

Seems like a Thomas Müller strenght or at least that was something that Müller was famous for.

Like I said, some Chelseafans are very hypocritical and don´t have fair judgement on players. Let them be haters. RLC was judged very poorly too. One example from Special Juan That quote from Special Juan was under Conte where RLC did not play in his natural position. Most people do not even know that RLC is a no. 8. He was playing no. 8 since his youth. Mou thought that he was a no. 6 in the long run and played him as a no. 6 or sometimes as a no. 10 because he thought that he was not experienced enough to play the no. 6 position. He never was a no. 6 in youth. Mou did not know shit about RLC´s real position, even though it was obvious when you analyze his strenghts. Saying RLC is a no. 6 in the long term is just stupid, but Mou is the worst coach of all time when it somes to youth integration and seeing youth potential. Conte used him as a striker and he never played striker at youth level. Roy at Palace played him as a winger and he was not a winger at youth level. It took fucking Sarri to realise that he was a no. 8 and Sarri played him there because he needed no. 8 players. People back than were always slaughtering RLC for no good reasons too. Judging a no.8 when he plays as a no. 10 or a striker is not the most objective idea, but these Chelsea experts don´t care and say that they are not good enough either way... You can´t change chelsea fans. Most of them are as knowledgeable as Real Madrid fans.... It is what it is.

No, Lamps said that he was selected as the fifth penalty taker due to the fact that Tammy asked him to give him the fifth penalty taker slot.Tammy wanted to shoot the penalty because of his confidence.

I somehow knew you would be the one to answer haha. So from those 5 CBs, who would you buy? And how good is Skiriniar? I think we should go and invest in the best CB out there, even if it cost 80+ million. It is key for our future success. Our offensive football looks very good, but our CBs look shaky, especially Zouma. I don´t think that Rüdiger can fix that either because he always has his blackouts

What do people think about Milan Skriniar? I have never seen him play, but a good Inter fan of mine said that he is the best 1 vs 1 defender he has seen in a while

rubbish but nearly won against us. So we will probably go down this season... At the end of the day, Tammy has everything a top striker needs to have. His second goal was also Costa level. His passing and his hold up play are great and he showed that in every match this season. He played 170 minutes this season and scored two goals. Not bad at all and considering the fact that he only has 2.3 shots at goal per game, this stat is pretty good. Tammy will even perform better when James and CHO come into the team again. Both are very good at crossing and Tammy needs good crosses.

What did Giroud do in 20 minutes? Did he score against a championchip side ala Norwich? Worrying performance from Tammy? or from the team? Because Tammy was MOTM.

Does anyone have the goal? Happy for the kid. I did not rate him based on his pre season, but I did not watch him in his last youth season to give a fair judgement on him.

Sorry, I always think in Euros and I think it should be around 45 to 50 million euros.He has his qualities and is a good back up for Kante.

There is a huge difference between chelseafans just slaughtering Tammy for no fair reason and giving Kovacic shit when he became our player on the day we signed him. Based on his performances last season, Kovacic was not worth 50 million. Right now, he plays good. Let us see how he plays in the long run because Kova started very good in his first few matches and then he started to drop his level of performance. I like Kova though.

But let´s be honest, most Chelsea fans always see the negative and some are very hypocritical. Tammy misses a long distance shot twenty metres away from goal and people think he is not good enough. But take into account that he only played 20 minutes, it was his only chance, his hold up play and his passing were brilliant against Leicester and that he made good runs. It that was Giroud or Michy, people would be praising that kind of performances, Ronaldo needs seven shots at target before he scores, Messi needs six shots, but when Tammy misses a long distance shot he is not good enough. Today he scored and the pressure was very high on him. After those racist attacks on him, missing the final penalty in the Supercup, losing and drawing games all the time and playing in a must win game and still be able to play the way he did today was just brilliant. It is funny that til now, only our youth players have scored in PL

Hahahahaha, today was a good day for me. I could say so much, expecially after recent weeks, but I am so fucking happy. I always knew his potential.

I don´t think that injury has anything to do with Kante´s injury in Europa League.Kante started to get ankle problems when he faced Man United

Are there any huge striker talents out there these days?

What I want is fair judgement on players. RLC got bashed in recent years (not fair judgements form Chelseafans), but nowadays most Chelseafans like him (he did not even get significantly better in recent years to justify that),CHO used to get bashed, Emerson used to get bashed a lot etc. Chelsea fans lack in fair judgements. It is very hypocritical to slaughter Tammy but then on the other side they want another player that misses big chances too. Those chances I showed you were 100% chances and your man Batsman (I like Batsman) missed those chances too against U23 Liverpool, which is a shit team compared to our youth. There is only one player that scores almost in every chance and that is Icardi. He scores on every third shot at goal. Ronaldo needs seven shots at goal to score with ten times better players on his team, Messi needs six to score with also way better teammates, but when Tammy missed against Leicester with a long distance shot, he gets slaughtered and people make the situation look like a 100% chance, even though it was not. What does highest level mean? Euro league? If he makes it at Real, we can argue again that he is a good player, but judging on those performances, he does not score 1 vs 1 situations like Morata and he may be not physical enough for PL. It is not about Tammy It could be Mount, Batsman, Morata, Drogba or whatever player. If any of those players get judged like Tammy, I would say the same things.

According to some of my Real Madrid fans, they do not rate him and don´t see anything special about him. He also misses big chances in pre season. If Tammy missed one of those chances, he would be slaughtered. If Jovic misses those chances, they think that Jovic would be good enough

Got a brace and should have scored more, so hopefully Lampard noticed his contribution from the stands. He missed 4 big chances and if Tammy had missed those chances, you would have been the first one to slaughter him.

This man is a absolute beast. This guy has RLC potential. I remember the time when RLC was destroying youth matches and I became one of his biggest fans when he was 16 years old. This guy is 17 years old and he has so much potential. He is a physical beast of a man. He and RLC have a very similar physique and their technique is also on point. Anjorin is a very technical player that can score goals and he is a no. 10 type of player, while RLC is a no. 8. Anjorin is fast, can score goals, makes very good passes and he is more creative than RLC( does not mean that RLC is not creative, but he is more creative than RLC) and his stamina seems pretty decent. This guy is ready for PL action. He has all the tools to make it at Chelsea.. He can improve on his shooting a little bit more (he should have scored one more goal tonight), but with that kind of potential, you need to give him a chance either in PL or loan him out to a Championship team. He is too good for this U23 team. I am not saying that he should be a starter, but he should be an option for the bench once in a while and give him a chance against lower teams, when we are up with two or more goals. Sadly, he was injured two or three months last season. My dream is it to see both RLC and Anjorin on the same pitch.

I watched his game against Liverpool U23 and he looked wonderful. He is the best crosser I have seen in a while. Everytime he crosses the ball, his crosses land into danger areas and that is something we need. Especially considering the fact that we have He should be ahead of Alonso. Castillo is very similar to Emerson, only difference is that he can cross the ball. I am not saying that Castillo should replace him, he should be his BU and learn from him and get a fair amount of minutes this season. It would be a waste if Alonso still gets minutes to play when we have someone with that kind of potential in our youth system

So I wanted to give you a rating from me regards Batsmans performance today. I started at minute 30 and if I understood correctely, Michy had one big chance in that time. He scored two good goals, whichone of them was a goal keeper mistake, but the way Michy took the goal was still very calm and impressive. He missed 2 very big chances, which he really should have scored in the time I watched the game. One was a bit similar how Tammy missed against Pool only two metres more away from the goal. One other big chance he missed was where he stood in front of the goalkeeper in a 1 vs 1 situation and he decided to shoot at the goalkeeper. He should have done way better at that situation and it showed to me that 1 vs 1 situations are not his favourite things. He also missed a big chance similar in pre season, only in that situation the ball came back to him again and he scored in his second try. His hold up play was decent, I don´t thin that Pools pressure was that good and Michy had a lot of time to think and place his passes. He seemed very calm. Later on he had another good chance. Anjorin gave him a good pass and he was running to the goal from the left side and aimed to the far post, which he missed by 1 or 2 metres.Can happen. Tammy missed a similar chances, but Tammy gets slaughtered when he misses those^^. All in all he scored 2 goals of six big chances. Against the smaller teams, I think that he should be good enough. Against the big teams, he has to be given a fair chance. His hold up play against Pool U23 looked good, but there were nowhere near the level of Pools pressing, so I still think that this will be a big issue for him. Against the smaller teams, he should score some goals. Also, it is a question how many chances Michy will get in a game. For instance, Tammy in his last game had one chance from outside the box, while if I remember correctely, Giroud had no chance against Leicester. He don´t create that many chances, especially high quality chances in our first team for our strikers. Castillo for example made wonderful crosses two Anjorin and Michy. Emerson and Azpi can´t cross the ball anyway near his level. I still would try Michy out in his next game.

Batsman missed another big chance.
