That really is shocking, knew had been poor too often this season, but didn't expect so bad. Considering how much paid for him, it says something that if we tried to sell him it seems doubtful if any of the rest of the top six (or more) would express much interest, even at a price cut.

Ugh, far too many of these sorts of results, deserved defeats with the poor performances the team have been giving in matches like this one against Newcastle, as well as Southampton, Bournemouth, West Ham etc. We're lucky that Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs are all struggling with inconsistency too, only reason we are still in top 4, for now. It's a transition season sure and some inconsistency to be expected, but serious work needed urgently to fix our shocking performances against too many lower and mid-table teams.

Newcastle United 0 - 1 Chelsea Mount, 45th minute

Chelsea 2 - 0 Burnley Barkley, 24th minute

Was at the Bridge today and though it was a fairly good game, getting back to winning ways with a quite dominant performance, and a rare clean sheet too, 1st half was positive, 2nd half okay bit frustrating we couldn't put the game to bed, should really have got some more goals. Forest were not quite up to take advantage, but got to take more of our opportunities going forward or risk that other teams are gonna punish us more. If Pedro may be off then was nice he got another game in front of the home crowd, did feel rather sorry for Giroud not featuring at all, was expecting him to appear towards the end but not even a few minutes run on with the game wrapped up, will be surprised if he's still in blue at the end of Janaury. Bats was disappointing today unfortunately - will be interesting who the club may move for in January to bolster our attacking options. Anyway a fairly comfortable win, good boost at home for the team, on to the next round!

Brighton 2 - 2 Chelsea Mooy, 12th minute

Much better second half, especially comeback at the end great to see, first half showed what we know that work still to be done, and conceding yet again disappointing, only 4 clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season is poor. Still brilliant we fought back to get the win, big 3 points to keep up a gap between us in 4th and the rest below, and satisfying silencing some of those arrogant gooners who thought they would get one over us today- they may have a different manager, but still the same old arsenal!

Arsenal 2 - 2 Chelsea Willian 8th minute

Spurs 4 - 2 Chelsea Son 15th minute

So much for their fans to look back on and reminisce, all those seasons, those most memorable accomplishments of Poch - putting the pressure on!😂 Well for a little while at least, till the inevitable happens year after year😉 As Giorgio Chiellini put it: "It's the history of the Tottenham"😄
