Sanchez blows

we all know it, save for Maresca

Could Leicester have had another penalty?

The pertinent question is: Could Leicester have had a red card and been down to 10 men?

An early game and one straight after an international break can always be tricky, so just getting the three points is all that matters.

A nice little gap between us and those below. I have a feeling Arsenal will drop more points.

Robbie Earl with the right analysis again.

Chelsea needs to improve their game management. 

It's far better than last season, yes. But still a work in progress.

Early kick off, after international break, got 3 points, happy, on to the next.

I'll say it again, we would always need to score more than one goal to win when we have Sanchez in goal.

Pretty happy overall, for most of the game made them look like a pub team, admittedly a lot of the blame for that is probably more on them than anything...

Still worried that we are not super cut throat (Noni world class clearance from Cole Palmer's shot due to him being situationally clueless and brain dead, never seen anything like that tbh) and a total liability in our own box (feel like every game we are liable to give pens+reds). But overall big progress from last years (where we did not even resemble a Chelsea side).

It's frustrating we did not score three or more against this Leicester side, especially when we did get the early goal.
The match was made difficult, not a thriller but difficult.

I mean Enzo is not in starting 11 this is his chance in absence of Lavia. He should come and say forget jet leg I'm ready to go. 

Exactly what he did. 1g 5a last 3 games for Chelsea.

Hard to imagine that Nkunku is the highest scoring Chelsea player this season, without any in the PL 😄

Didnt he score at Bournemouth ?

SUPER SUB NKUNKU SCORES WINNER! | Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea | HIGHLIGHTS | Premier League 2024/25

From sublime play to sometimes walking the ball for long periods.... 

Didn't love the lack of urgency at times and walking pace play but otherwise it's 3 points and a few disgruntled players got a game which always helps.

We need to have a greater killer instinct.

Happy where we are though and I'll take the progression.
