John Terry has verbally agreed to become head coach at Saudi side Al-Shabab FC.

Ibime:
God forbid

Don't fancy him?

Chelsea asked about Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi 48 hours before the transfer window closed.

Most of Chelsea's stats in the league this season are very competitive. The biggest issues are SHOOTING & FINISHING.

- 66 shots: 4th
- 17 shots on target: 13th
- 25.8% shots on target: 18th
- 0.08 shots per goal: 14th
- 0.29 shots on target per goal: 12th.

Fabrizio Romano on Rayan Cherki to Chelsea rumours: "From what I'm told, Chelsea only had one conversation with Lyon to discuss the condition of potential deals for Barcola and Cherki. Chelsea just wanted to be informed but never met Lyon to start negotiations or something concrete. They never considered him as a target or top player on the list. He's always been monitored, but we know that Chelsea follow the best talent in the world."

Hātim al-Asam, [may Allāh bestow mercy upon him]:

“Always remember that Allāh is watching you. And always remember that Allāh can hear you.”

“Keep in mind at all times that Allāh is observing your actions, and remain mindful that your words are heard by Allāh.”

Siyar A’lām an-Nubalā’a, 11/475 | Al-Imām adh-Dhahabi [may Allāh have mercy on him]

Translation: Authentic Quotes

Chilwell: "It is a very new team still and a lot of new players still trying to find their feet at a new club, you have to understand their playing styles but it is a game we still should be winning. No excuses. We will hopefully turn this round as the confidence grows.

We are moving in the right direction. Every game we have controlled possession and the majority of matches we have played. We need to finish chances, be more ruthless and stay composed to get back into games. That’s the final bit, finishing our chances."

William Gallas: "I was one of the guys who didn’t understand why Disasi joined Chelsea. The Premier League is a different league in terms of difficulty. Even though he is a physical player he has to understand strikers will be very strong when they challenge him.

He has to improve a lot, but he has the opportunity to play alongside Thiago Silva and he has to learn from him, speak to him a lot, and Silva can help him move to the next step."

Nottingham Forest tried to sign Trevoh Chalobah with an important proposal to the player on Deadline Day. The agreement with Chelsea was done, permanent transfer for more than £25m 🔵 #CFC

Chalobah appreciated effort but rejected & decided to stay after Bayern deal collapsed. Fabrizio Romano

Beware of people that use data always to make decisions especially in sports where so many factors are responsible for the outcome, football is no Newtonian physics where you can plug in variables to get an outcome, even it were to be so data can be rigged that any decision made off it could prove to be disastrous.
I'm saying this as a data practitioner

hensben:
I understand what you are saying, Let’s hope with lavia things will change. Gallagher need to be removed from starting 11.

I'm not enthused about Lavia signing Santos and Casadei were both ready and had decent preseason but we ended up with an injury prone Lavia and an unfit Caicedo, Gallagher has been played out of position by Pochettino to make up for Enzo defensive liabilities so I will cut him some slack.

Poch on Chelsea fans booing team off :

"You can understand the people that came from the past and want to see the team to win and play well. We are not playing fantastic but I think the performance is not bad."

(@scott_trotter)

afrodoc2:
Wise King Solomon.

It is not too difficult to call when you have watched and coached many games you will know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Also, the coach seems confused at the moment Caicedo is still unfit why not ease him in and play Ugochukwu? Then why play Gallagher as 6 and Enzo ahead of him when he's not good at receiving the pass and dictating play from deep? Why play Chillwell as a winger when you have Sterling and Madueke available? We should have kept Lukaku since there's no experience striker available and Broja is injured.
His substitutions after the first 2 were disastrous in this game

EXCL Chelsea vs Forest lineup :

Robert Sánchez (GK), Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto, Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Jackson, Conor Gallagher, Moisés Caicedo, Raheem Sterling, Ben Chilwell (C).

(@Olly_A_informer)

Reece James, Armando Broja, Trevoh Chalobah and Benoit Badiashile are scheduled to return after the international break, whilst Romeo Lavia is still undergoing conditioning work. (

Pochettino: "We need to work and still be improving in the next few years. We need to win every week. What is missing is to have all the players fit and for that we are going to work. I am so happy because I think the project that they showed me, the club is working really hard to transform to a different way of operating.

We need to be careful because we have an amazing project here, a young squad, young talented players but now we need to find a way to perform. We are spending but we are building something for the future also, not just for the present."

@ChelseaFC

Pochettino: "When the players recover from injury, you will see the good team that we have, for sure. The problem is that we invest today but maybe we will be rewarded in a few years.

I just need to make sure I am still here. Because of all the sacrifice and effort I am making today, I still want to be here when the good things happen. Because of the talented players they (Chelsea) have, it is only a matter of time before they start performing."

You were ready to strip for free in 2019 what's more euphoric/symbolic of your support.

Don't be surprised if he comes back tomorrow to say he wasn't a strong supporter of Obi that he only wanted power to shift to a new platform

BlueAngel444:
Matseen doesn't want to leave because he wants to transition into a superstar attacker for England NT team and bench Saka, Sterling and Grealish.

One of the adverse effects of wokeism is compulsive lying despite overwhelming evidence

As it stands the expectation is Ian Maatsen will choose to stay at Chelsea.

Cole Palmer will wear the number 20 shirt for Chelsea this season.

Cole Palmer: "I had an amazing summer winning the Euros with Noni [Madueke] and Levi [Colwill]. Four weeks we had away. It was just memories. It was good. We knew how good the team was. We knew we could win it. It was just if we could put it together - and we did!"
