Chelsea 2-1 Brentford

Gykores would be  perfect for us, problem is we should have gotten  him when he was still on the cheap.  His price has quadrupled now.

at least we have neto and lavia back

I think Maresca will move Caicedo into RB, and Gusto to LB for the Everton game.

Or give Renato Veiga a chance (unlikely)

Big win considering how other results went.

We are not in the title race

Chilwell to make a rare appearance at LB and secure a transfer away from the club in January 😆

Pretty great that people feel the need to have the debate though!

For myself I find the whole conversation about whether clubs are in the race or not a bit silly. One can argue the whole top 6 or so are involved in the race still as plenty of games left and the gap to #1 is small in that context. It is just kind of meaningless. We shouldn't be building expectations a club should win something in the near future unless they have a history of winning things in the recent past.

We could win the title this year but it is not a likely scenario compared to, for example, having a blip from an injury crisis that drives us down to 4th.

Their goal was stupid.
Colwill should have run with the player but he tried to snatch the ball and let him run free.
If he followed him it would have been pretty difficult to score.

Colwill needs to improve a lot at the defensive side of the game, but he is only 21 so it feels pretty normal. He will become quite a player in his mid 20s I imagine. If we are patient with him...

I find him as exhausting as Sanchez personally but still think they are the best options we have in the squad at the mo on balance.

Just watched this last night with my 12 year old son..... it was too early in the morning here in oz so avoided the result all day.

we both agreed how impressive it was of Nico Jackson to have missed that sitter........ which we both agreed it was.

But did not dwell on that.... on the contrary, he went full beast mode and scored the decisive goal.

These are the people that every group in football, and in life needs to hold on to if they wish to be successful. 

Not some mercenary who will throw their toys out of the pram at the first hurdle......./ cough / lukaku 🤐
