We should be taking all maximum points from our next six games, cos our run-in isn't going to be easy.

Happy birthday to the king of Stamford Bridge!

Hmmm. Barca actually played pretty well yesterday. If only they could finish, especially Dembele, and then Messi missed a pen - though he scored a screamer.

If only that second half against PSG in the first leg didn't turn out like that.

Our legends at their best.

Happy Birthday to the Blues.

One bottle for all the Blues fans out there.

James had to delete his Instagram account

SMH. This racism sha

See pressure
Sevilla have made like 1000 crosses in the first 10 mins

Singapore1:

even when chelsea was winning 3 months ago, chelsea kept 7 clean sheet out of 20 Premier league games with less than 50% winning rate.. so the clean sheet is actually less than 7 if we add goalless draw. . .

Lampard is also the only coach in chelsea history to have that kind winning rate (50%ish). so no matter how much you want to look at it tuchel is an upgrade to lampard and people have the right to celebrate it. If you can mourn chelsea loss then you have the right to celebrate the wins too.

You can't be sad when chelsea wins all in the name of what could happen in the future.

is TT the messiah? definitely not .. but under him we have won by a goal 5 separate time , i don't think we would have escaped with a goal under lampard cos of how the defense is always set up.

if you are performing well as a coach you deserve to be praised, if you are doing badly you deserve to be castigated .People already calling for klopp head despite winning champions league and PL.

you can't spend 200m$ and not start giving result instantly !

No vex o, but can u explain what u mean by the bolded?

Meanwhile Inter got another W yesterday, against a top team.

Scudetto coming closer

2emotional:
Jorginho is not getting the praises he deserve. The way he plays these days is so entertaining to watch. Dude is underappreciated or is just me.

I especially like how he turns under pressure. A key skill a DM should have.

His relative lack of pace is his main problem sha, buy no be him fault. Otherwise, he's a very good player. And he sabi pass ball sha.

Periodt

Guess we can all agree that Kai is best suited for the false nine role, at least for now.

As it is, HK and Pulisic are last in the pecking order of the attackers, minus the strikers.

Funny story, James completed the most duels in the game (6/6, 100%)

Babamide:
He cannot. Even his corners were taken short

Reece James cannot cross?
James?

That's cap. James is a good crosser, that one no suppose even be argument.

It's his reluctance to cross or pass forward that is the cause for concern.

Babamide:
Reece James cannot cross. He avoids it every single time.

"Cannot cross" isn't the right way to put it. More like, "Doesn't cross".
James' case is funny to me sha. He's got the strength, pace and technical ability to make things happen in attack, but he usually seems reluctant to pass forward.

Nice game. Havertz deserves MOTM, though CHO was fantastic and Chris was wonderful once again.

Mount had a very solid cameo, had one moment when he should have made a through pass but otherwise, he was brilliant. Werner's finishing dreadful once again.

Thee only concern for TT would be the finishing. We really should've won by like 4+ goals.

Another clean sheet. We meuvee.

Lovely pass from Kova, Lovely run and penalty won by #HiKai


Loving it.

So the goal wasn't awarded to Havertz? Damn

Good performance anyways. Should still do more though.
Chris had looked shaky with one or two poor passes, but definitely made up for it with some huge interceptions and a lovely chance created.

CHO our best attacker. Not seen much of Werner.

Hope we can keep it up, or even improve in the second half.

Yassss Havertz!

Shey the goal was given to him sha? Na deflection na

Wonderful work from CHO in the buildup

Havertz please do something nice today

Hope Timo gets a goal

Probably the most controversial of them all thus far.

We can say, in Kante's case, that he was moving his hand away. But this one...na wa

Looking like one gangster
Good morning

Jodera:
But is that not how most situations involving handball are given penalty. Example the ucl Final involving Sissoko handball.
Is that not another situation of ball to hand cos clearly " there's nothing he could have done " too

Sometimes though, the outcome of these situations also depend on the discretion of the ref. Plus, the rules must've been tweaked here or there since that time.

Nonetheless it was a huge let off for us.

NinjaMetahuman:
Christensen well deserved man of the match

Mehn, I gats agree. Dude is really imperious in a back three.

Mount and Kante come close. Jorgo also did well, as did Azpi and Rugged baba.

Werner was so unfortunate. But I think in terms of touching and ball control, this was as good a game as I've seen from him.

Pulisic and Ziyech are well off the pace. They're supposed to be our two best players. We may not see them in top form till maybe next season. Thank God others are stepping up.

Big, BIG win!

Dem don catch Bartomeu

See pesin heat map

airmark:
Christensen must have learnt alot from Thiago Silva.


https://twitter.com/i/status/1366109572314722308

100% passes completed and ground duels won

His passing and positioning were

I hope he keeps this up, so we don't have to worry about a long term replacement for Silva.

There is also player, Line ups and score predictions on he Man United app too. Don't be daft

Na u no understand the joke, na u still dey call names.

Let me not reply with the same energy sha. Good morning

From what I watched, everyone was generally okay. Giroud maybe off the pace a lil. No real incisiveness, even with Ziyech.

But then, it was that sort of evening. Even Fernandes no really see ball play.

I would love Mount to work on his decisiveness/incisiveness in the final third. But then he's got time, potential, the right attitude and a top manager so that shouldn't be an issue for too long.
Ziyech also has to improve his conditioning. His inability to press as much as, say, Mount or even Werner, may be his greatest undoing cos that pressing is paramount to Tuchel.

User09:
Would really prefer the sub to be Mount not Ziyech. He's better at feeding the runners

Saw this comment late. I did also feel that Ziyech should've stayed on. Maybe Tuchel felt Mount would offer more in the closing stages due to his energy.
