Thecassanova:
Where is chillwel playing

LB

Hattrickai!

Okay what is this understanding between Tammy and Kai? Ayam loving it

First time release by Barkley there. He's been on top shape so far

BlueMann:
Impressive anticipation from Thiago...read that pass before it was made

You saw that right? That was brilliant

Please play CHO on the left. He's more effective on the left.

Goal

CHO should have scored there

Hard times coming up for football in England. Some clubs will fold up with these new restrictions.

I guess that means Tomori stays. I will gladly make that trade off.

amodu:
But don't you think the back passes are too much?

When the attackers are pressed, they pass to the midfield, from there ball returns to the defence and then to Kepa. Is Kepa press resistant?

Our backward passes are too much and it attract too much pressure.

Are you saying we should not pass to Kepa because he's lacking in confidence or that we should reduce the number of passes to the GK altogether?

Wasere Alaye! Clap back to jina.

Lol. Sure. The pain is Crystal palace clear.

Wasere Alaye! Clap back to jina.

Are you the only one that does not know Azpi and Pulisic have been injured?

As for Thiago, if Lampard says he's not fit then he's not fit. You can't say because Thiago(liverpool) is fit then Thiago(chelsea) must be fit.

The problem we have is that everyone has been arranging best Chelsea 11 since the summer, salivating at the prospects of heavenly football, and expecting everything to click from the outset -.hit the ground running essentially. The display of lack of patience is staggering.

I have always felt we will not see 1st gear football until about 10 games in.

I mean we've started to see people break ranks with Lamps even with only 2 games in. Pulisic, Ziyech, Chilwell, Silva, Mendy, and a fully integrated Havertz yet to join the team, and people are already making conclusions.

Ibime:
Losing 2-0 after going down to ten men is at least not a big disgrace. God no go shame us.

True talk. I didn't expect Liverpool not to win anyway. Not for Kepa, it could have been 1-0. That in my eyes is not a bad result.

Almajirihunter:
I remain of my stand that Tomori is the only defender close to a real CB,I would love to train Tomori alongside Thiago

Big Tomori fan here as well.

Spending 200m is one thing, the kind of players it is spent on is another.

Do you think if a club like Madrid or Barca need desperate signing to cover for a lacking position, they'd go for a player who is injured or not fit to play immediately. Reason is that, if such poor decision gives their opposition some point advantage, such point might end up being the difference.

Chelsea never had intention of winning the league and Champions League unlike Liverpool and Man city.

You are completely wrong. You are looking at this through a prism of immediate success. You want to be like Liverpool of today but failing to state that it's taken the Liverpool of today 5 seasons to do this.

The way you put it, it's like no single person at the club did any impact analysis of the absence of the players and that your mention of it here, is the first time its said or thought about.

This is what happens when you analyse football through the prism of immediate success. You start to accuse the most notorious football club owner in the world (one who's fired more managers than anyone else) for lacking ambition.

swiz123:
Just like I said earlier, why buy players who aren't ready to compete immediately?

Why buy Silva when he isn't ready to play immediately?

why buy Chillwell when he won't be competing immediately?

Aside goalkeeper, those two positions were our weakest link last season and we recruited players who weren't going to fix the immediate problem.

Only a club with no ambition does that and Chelsea currently lacks ambition.

When I think I have heard the worst, I hear something new. The club spends over £200m in one window, yet you think it had 'no ambition' ?

Game plan out of the window

It's a red card

Well thought out by Frank. Timo's presence on the left is keeping TAA cautious, which is protecting Alonso who is the known weak link; whilst allowing Alonso to attack. Thoughtful tactics

BikeMan:
Lampard just asked the front 3 to switch places

He didn't just. This is how he set out to play. They all went to positions from the first kick.

And some spent the last one hour talking about how stupid Lampard is. Impatience everywhere

Havertz playing CF

Let's go.

I came here to observe DJs
