Gusto hs defended well but damn he's been sloppy with his control.

That was really poor from Enzo earlier.

Gravenberch can't continue. Caicedo got lucky there

Palmer simply has to do better there. On his stronger foot? Nah

Kane wins it late for Bayern against Leipzig. Bayern remain 8 points behind Leverkusen, with 11 games to go

So happy for iwobi, he deserves this happiness.

A winner with River
A winner with Benfica
A winner with Argentina

I'm hoping that mentality can shine through tomorrow at Wembley. Looking forward to a performance as dominant as the one against the Reds in the first game of the season.

Unlimited22:
Osimhen doesn't press without the ball might be the worst take he's ever had and this is SAYING SOMETHING.

Had to take off my shades and put on my glasses to make sure I was seeing it right

I've run out of superlatives for Lord Hensben. One day we go do compilation

hensben:
Chelsea should pls not sign Osimhen, he doesn’t press without the ball and it is a turn off for me.

Lmao

Jones and Jota out for the Carabao cup final

Trent, Alisson, Szoboslai, Nunez all likely to be out as well.

Omo see Bayern o

Abeg congrats to Leverkusen

timbros:
The attack did their job by scoring. Did the defence do their own job to not concede?

It's unfair to put it like that. Considering the amount of pressure we faced, the defense did a great job conceding just one goal. And considering the amount of chances we had, the attack did poorly by scoring just once.

I'm a huge advocate of getting both departments sorted and strengthened, but yesterday's game had a much greater indictment on the attack, rather than the defense.

Looks like it's going to be a long day for Sheffield.

Horrible challenge by Holgate. Deserved red card

Andrey Santos and Angelo Gabriel are on the bench for Strasbourg. Hoping they come on in the second half.

Ballzproblem2:
last good James performance was against vini the first time they met,vini cooked him in our last champions league campaign

That was the last good James performance abi

Smh

Leyqute:
To be fair to Timbros, he wasn't harping on defensive improvements alone. He advocated for a balanced team.
Good defense PLUS good attack wins games.

Yesterday, your attackers did you in. Against Wolves, the defense was crap because you scored 2 and conceded 4. If you called for defensive reinforcements after yesterday's game, you'd look like a fool. And if you harped on more attacking in the Wolves game or any other game where you scored more than 3 goals but still drew or lost, you'd be wrong too.

Personally, I think the argument isn't really about logic, reality, sense or even Chelsea. It's mostly about bruised egos and the offended demanding their own pound of flesh.

Somebody provide some context abeg

Rodri get that clutch gene sha. Damn

forgiveness:
Oga! The players were obviously tired. They got no lungs to keep running.

I don hear o

Leyqute:
Make remote work ambassador stay fit first

Hoping that's the case now that he's gotten the surgery. Huge fan of Gusto, but Lord knows I miss James plenty.

Leyqute:
Man needed to put that defensive structure in place before things got bad bad.

If he didn’t do that, and your forwards wasted two more easy goals, and you guys crumbled and conceded 3 in the last 10, na him you go still blame.

At least he got a result. If not for Jackson and Sterling’s wastefulness, you would’ve won the game.

True, true. At the end of the day, getting a draw at the Etihad is a very good result that most weren't bold enough to predict.

I'm still placing James ahead for sure, but he's going to have to work real hard to keep his starting shirt. Gusto didn't come here to joke.

Leyqute:
You guys created more than enough chances to bury the game. Your attackers were just experts at missing goals.

If he didn’t go ultra defensive, you guys would’ve crumbled under that last swarm of attacking pressure from City. Instead of one, it would’ve been 2 goals.

My main grouse is going that defensive that early. Eventually we would've had to.

It gave me flashbacks of Potter.

Malo Gusto vs Man City

10 clearances
1 block
1 interception
8 tackles
1× dribbled past
2 key passes
2 big chances created
9/13 ground duels won

Monster performance. And don't forget he's only 20

Doku must hate nothing more than facing a Chelsea right back

Disasi vs Man City

16 clearances

That was far too cowardly from Poch. We were already defensive, why not keep it that way instead of going ultra defensive? I guarantee we would have created one or two more big chances if we kept playing the way we were in the first 70 mins.

Massive performances from Disasi and Gusto especially, shout-out to Enzo and Gallagher as well.

Big shame Petrovic has conceded another deflected goal.

Gusto was a monster! 10 clearances, 8 tackles!! Kept Doku honest despite so many 1 v 1 isolations.

Ah dem don equalize
Smh

Gusto has done well against Doku, considering how many times he's been isolated...

Casadei??

What a miss from Haaland
