Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth

[Pizy 18,928]

We should 100% be bringing in a long term rotation option at RB/RWB this window. Someone young and athletic who can replicate a lot of what Reece can do when for when he’s not in the side. It’s not good enough for a top club like us to so dramatically drop in quality when just one player goes out.

I didn’t want us to blow money for the sake of it this window but RJ’s niggling injuries are going to be a recurring theme unless he’s managed and rotated properly. And Azpi has been past it for years now. He’s not the answer.

Are we still going to get Livramento?

He's been injured but I think in the summer we have a buy back or something?

Pavard contract is expiring in 18 months and he says he wants to try PL. Yes Dumfries is more exciting but we need someone who accepts backup role. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,383]

Why do our players look knackered after 60mins?

Is there a list of World Cup involved players by premier league club? 

[Laylabelle 9,535]

It sounds kinda sad..ish but me and my Uncle used to do this thing where after a game regardless of result we'd text each other either hurrah sort or wtf was that...since he passed in October it's been mostly wtf so it's nice to have what would've been a hurrah result

The win the most important thing, the performance was average and the crowd pathetic.

Players look tired, and don't get me started on the referee.

What's the deal with this btw? Utter silence on my television. 

The Bridge is no longer a fortress and I don't feel any sort of advantage playing there anymore.

It's honestly horrendous... unfortunately ticket touts are rife, especially online with up to 2k tickets available for hundreds of pounds a pop. 

Sitting in the East Lower with my boy Vs Arsenal I was absolutely dismayed by the sheer amount of adult tourists in the family section. They previously had a rule that there had to be 1 child per 2 adults, it's very clearly not enforced now. The worst part was watching them all whip out their phones when Arsenal scored so they could video their fans celebrating. I've never been more embarrassed as a Chelsea fan.

The club and the police don't care however. As long as they're getting a full stadium every week and the police are having an easy day out having to manage tourists it'll continue to happen. Chelsea probably prefer it as those buying from touts will spend more in the stadium too.

The Bridge is dead, simple as. Will only get worse with a new stadium. It's creeping in to away games now too.

See I dont mind tourists so much if they're there to actually enjoy and watch the game and know where they are and what team theyve come to see but a lot seems to just be photo opportunities half the time! Like watch the game or least the majority of it! 

The pricing definitely doesn't help atmosphere been to some amazing atmosphere games and ones where its so flat! Just seems luck of crowd and being near the right pockets of people.
