closed Chelsea 4-1 Sheffield United

[Special Juan 27,103]

Souness just called Mount a baby and one he would pick as the first name on the team sheet, said he is quality.

He's a Scotsman and said he is jealous of the likes of Reece and Mason being English.

I love how the academy boys have taken on the challenge of the team's level increasing. Mount has upped his game, James has upped his game, Tammy as well. Superb response from them. Just waiting on CHO now.

Someone I don't know directly but is a friend of a friend went to Cobham to see training and said he's the best passer of a footballer he has ever seen. 

Rio Ferdinand made a comment a few weeks back that he was desperate for him to get fit to watch him because Lampard had told him the same thing.

I really hope we keep this momentum going after the international break because at the moment we look very good. Everybody is stepping up.

James and Ziyech took the piss

Class performances 

I thought there were a number of weak moments from Reece in the second half. Moments that led to avoidable, and potentially dangerous, turnovers.

We have played a game more than most teams but as it stands in the league, we have:

- Scored more goals than anyone else

- The best Goal Difference

- The joint-fourth best defence

I replayed this on my DVR multiple times...

I am absolutely buzzing! Ziyech has proven why he was levels above everyone in the Eredivisie for years. People questioned whether he can adapt to life in PL blablabla. What now? No one can deny he is special. 

Don't get me started on the man, the myth, the legend Thiago Silva!! He completely changed our defensive structure, and brings a calming presence which rubs off on the other defenders. 

Reece James is probably our best academy product since John Terry, his offensive and defensive contribution is superb. Chilwell is someone who completely proved me wrong. I had no idea he was a player of this quality, he is performing at a world class level at this moment. 

The rest of the players deserve massive praise as well. One thing is for sure, we are being feared by rivals and I absolutely love it lol.

And here comes my favourite part of the season, the useless international break.

[Muzchap 8,966]

The best part of today is seeing the positivity returning to the forum 👍

[milka 3,308]

Frank and the coaching staff have been doing their homework it seems. They should take an immense amount of credit for the rapid development we are seeing this season in system, structure, and style.

[robsblubot 3,223]

In Portuguese, one would say that "Ziyech acabou com o jogo."

Roughly translates to: he finished (destroyed with) the game, as in mortal kombat, "finish him." (I guess you could say "dominate", but it's really not the same heh)

Just thought a player delivering such a performance fully deserved that sentence.

I'm seeing things in Reece that I've only seen in the best fullbacks over the years. If he continues developing as he has, he can easily become a world class player.

[milka 3,308]

Whoever brought the decision to upgrade Chelsea's right-wing from Willian to Ziyech will surely make heaven.

I've lost count of how many assist Ziyech has provided in few games compared to Wilian per season lol .
