Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea

[LAM09 7,043]

Deja vu. We beat them again. Another £13m~ in the bank, and a step to the to doing the unthinkable (we were ranked as slight favorites before today).

This time, a reunion with Silva, another former player.

Joao Pedro looked absolute class out there in a Chelsea shirt. Nice lad.

Pedro is an upgrade already. Very good signing. Delap is average at best. No difference with Jackson. We need Osihmen

With all these great midfielders I think it sensible to see Caicedo at RB again. 

I wouldn't go that far. If everyone is fit, James still has to be number one. These constant layoffs are getting too much now, though.

Easiest draw, Benfica red card, now deflected goal. Don't remember us being so lucky.

Did anyone spot Jamie Gittens on the field after the final whistle

Santos hasn't put a foot wrong all night. Providing James isn't out for an age again, it was a blessing in disguise.

I'd start him again (should we hopefully hold on).

Santos was class. He seems very agile and keep things ticking with good passes like Lavia.

can we register estevao for the next game

no, July 2nd was the last day to register

AND

even more important

a player cannot play for two teams in the same competition

that is why no Gittens

Comment was made about James not being available. Why have someone average on the pitch like Gusto when you can have Caicedo and Lavia or Santos...

[Vesper 30,119]

Bayern will make a play for Malo I wager

Because he's a natural RB and look who scored the winner.

You could have this attitude where someone like Nkunku is concerned. With the option we have now, he should be nothing more than a last restort.

tbf, he was very good the 2nd half

I defer to Maresca to decide (dog help us, lolol)

[Vesper 30,119]
