I know Emerson is not Alba or anything like that, but I think Sarri should start benching players that have 3-4 straight bad games. Emerson is the only other defender with a left foot and deserves to be giving a chance.

Our left back is supposed to be the attacking fullback of the two because 70% of our attacks come through the left side. But the problem is Alonso cant dribble past a man, he cant cross, he cant make overlapping runs because he likes running into the box instead, he's to slow for us the put balls into space for him to catch up to and he's an average passer of the ball. He is absolutely terrible in every aspect of Attacking, the only thing hes good at in attack is shooting and that should be the least important out of a fullbacks ability, even Azpi is a better crosser than him. I'm tired of the guy, really am.

Lmao The way robertson played against Manchester today, gave me Ashley cole vibes. He's an absolutely fantastic leftback and I think he's the best fullback in the premier league by far.

I don't know what Emerson has done to him to not get a sniff instead of Alonso. Alonso must have his naked pics somewhere

If you want to see a proper left back, watch Robertson against Manchester united today. He absolutely skinned them, even Mourinho had to acknowledge.

Morata is still injured I see. Glad to see Emerson make the bench, hopefully he gets some gametime. It will be interesting to see where Hazard plays, whether he roams around in a free role or pedro plays the false 9 himself.

Madrid actually need goalscorers than creators like Hazard, they have creators in abundance. If they don't get FFP to pile pressure on PSG so that they can get Neymar, then they'll come for Hazard. In that case I wouldn't be against getting Isco + 80-100mil since Isco has some problems with the coach.

I prefer him to pulisic by far, and he's left footed which we really need on our right wing. He can cut in to shoot or go wide to cross, variety/unpredictability matters

Balls over the top can be countered by high pressing from our attackers, offside trap and Sweeper keeper (Kepa) coming out to clear long balls. If we do it right, long balls will mean that we recover the ball back immediately. You could see from the first half against city that we couldn't even go over the top against them even if they were pressing right at our 18 yard box

Morata to Barcelona Update : "If the rumours are true, Morata would be welcome at Barcelona." - Jordi Alba

The main thing about this match is that we have other freekick takers in the team and I hope Sarri won't use freekicks as an excuse to keep playing Alonso if he shows poor form again

Look no further than this video

Just watched a video on some inside info about the club. Things don't look very good for our future if this is true and this guy is usually reliable

I would not be against getting someone like Depay to replace him, Hazard is obviously better but there's nothing we can do if he doesn't sign before the end of the season (He cant go for free). His constant bickering about Madrid must be tiring the chelsea players as much as us fans. Madrid's No. 1 target is still Neymar, and he'll have to hope FFP doesn't come down on PSG (especially after the football leaks) to force them to sell before Madrid consider him first. They're not willing to give their No. 7 to someone who cannot guarantee 20 goals at least.

Manchester United have been quoted a price of over £90m for Kalidou Koulibaly. Senior United officials recently met with Napoli to explore the possibility of a January deal.

Rudiger: “After the Wolves game Sarri was terrifying. He was going crazy. But that was okay because we shouldn’t have lost. The day after he was very calm. He made it clear that we have to believe in ourselves. He wanted us to go into the City game looking for a win”. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea/how-terrifying-maurizio-sarri-inspired-chelsea-to-win-over-man-city-after-pain-of-wolves-loss-a4012941.html

Start from 6.05 to watch, thats where Guardiola said it.

I'll find it. I trust the twitter handler though, he doesn't post rubbish
