Idolizing from some fans in that they always talk about how great he is, and then are silent when spurs capitulate. That's why. Sure he's a good manager, but I've seen Chelsea fans claiming that they'd have him at Chelsea over some of our recent managers: that is idolizing when our managers have won things and he's won absolutely bugger all.

sweet Lord what an unreal opinion. As you rightly point out, not an oponion leveled on all managers by these same writers.

I know a lot of Chelsea fans can be sadistic, but this minority who idolize Poch are baffling to me. Yes he's a decent manager, and got the better of Sarri yesterday; however, the man (Poch) has a team, and is in a league that he has had time with. Sarri is a great coach, and the results of being undefeated in all competitions before yesterday (the only team in the Big 5 leagues in Europe allowed to make that claim), i just feel he needs backing and time. He's refreshingly honest about how we are a few players away, but he also needs players to adapt to his philosophy. That takes time, and sadly that's something Chelsea as a club are not exactly known for.

Best of luck again.

man, that is quite the list and i am not sure all are necessary. Maybe the new CB. I'm not sure about Andreas C. Doesn't seem to handle not playing well and looks nervous a lot, and with Cahill on the way I think a new CB is a good shout. LB with Palmieri and Alonso I think we are pretty well covered. Striker seems fine with Giroud, Morata, and Mitchy. But if one of them were to leave, sure. But I doubt it is an area we are looking at in the January Transfer window.

He did. Dropped back into the middle a couple of times, and would play balls out wide and then push forward. One stood out toward the end, where he was back in the mid and then passed out to Zappa (not Frank) before making a play into the box. I think Davide tried to pass in and got a corner out of it.

missed that one.

FT, win, lucky. Play a few fringe players in the following games

He is handsome and good, Olivier Giroud.

Hope we can get a solid enough lead to give one, or both, of Ampadu or CHO a run out.

Load of pish. Worse than today's politics of the rich getting richer and the rest can just do one

Thoroughly enjoyable. Just a shame Giroud didn't score

Something that stood out in the post match comments from Sarri was him saying that he knew Ruben was a very good player, and he has adapted to Sarri's style...BUT, he still need to work on his defensive aspect of the game.

think Jose even raised his eyebrows at that one!

I just read this in a Donald Trump voice. Dude is obsessed about people liking him
