Wow. One man team. Nearly embarrassing stuff tonight though lets be honest.

Big changes needed in the summer if we are to make real progress.

And give Cole Palmer a 10 year extension on whatever wages he wants. 

 

 

Technical excellence + Great body control + Half decent coaching = Good footballer.

Eghbali needs to appoint a good football guy to run the club

poach an executive from Bayern if possible (hard AF) or some other old school chairman

and bring in Hansi Flick

buy some decent CBs, a right-footed LWer (bin Sterling ), a LB in Malo style, and some rock-ribbed MFers with nous that the current ones utterly lack

we need a spine, like we had in prime Mou days

If Lavia is half the player Cole is we can win the league 😀😀😀

We have 9 games to go and Palmer is 2 behind Haaland. Let’s help me get the boot🥇

I think the injury to Lavia has hit the team hard, or to be more exact, the mismanagement of his injury. I think that Chelsea could have rotated the midfield a bit more to keep it fresh with him as well as being able to provide more of a stable base when needed.

This game is very embarrassing for both teams. This time, we got lucky, but come one.. The whole game was completely random.. Goals had nothing to do with who playing well at the moment, both teams built utter shit defense and goals just "happen".

Badiashile and Disasi clearly not work together in 4atb.. If a very good player(like Silva in good shape) plays next to one of them, it can work, but together they are two weak.

I agree about Hansi Flick, he's my number 1 choice.

I don't think that we need to give up on our defence, I believe that the team just needs to be coached better so everyone knows their job. You can see other teams with inferior defenders than Chelseas defend a lot better than Chelsea.

More Palmer but was nice to see players running and not strolling as the other team have the ball.

Not kidding myself that this will boost us cause there's been potential this is it moments and hasn't been anything after but feels nice esp since 2017 and all.

Poor fans who left

It's certainly been a long time coming. Sheffield Utd need the points, so we know what to expect. 😄

Look this defense of ours is a joke.
Things used to be the other way around last year under Potter-Lamps re. defense-attack, but now the defense is the joke of the premier.

Would be good if Poch tried some new things on midfield. I understand Enzo and Caicedo were very expensive, they are young and we need to play them, but at least could try different positions, roles, responsibilities.

Fluked the win, get rid of Poch and save the season.

I'm just looking for better than we get from Caicedo.

Playing caicedo and being a good team are mutually exclusive

Have to agree sadly.

The sad thing is he dominated the midfield for 20 minutes and after his brain fart he went downhill fast…

Well, it's now or never. The Italian guy was also quite expensive, we will play Sheffield 3 days later.. Let's try him.

Btw, if we won that game and Liverpool defeats United, we will be just 2 points behind them with 1 game less played.

I don't think that Caicedo's game suits being the anchor man, he's a box to box player who's endless energy will allow him to cover every blade of grass. To keep him holding his position to screen the defence takes a lot away from his game. This is a role that Lavia is massively suited.

I had problems accessing Talk Chelsea. I was seething most of the second half… those last two minutes were a riot!!

Our defense was a joke, but they didn’t even try to stop us coming through the midfield all game.
