Anyway I'm going to stay positive. We were a tired team today after midweek, so that explains some of the subpar performances. Next 2 games are Norwich and Sheff utd so things will look a lot better when we get 6 points from these games. Plus 3 of our best players still injured that will come back.

We looked tired in that 2nd half, which is not surprising given we played 120 mins on Wednesday night. A point against a team that can challenge top 6 is not a terrible result. We'll get our first league win next week. Kanté as well as he played against Liverpool looked a bit tired today, same with Jorginho. Willian did absolutely f**k all.

Great half. Should really be 3 or 4 up. Dropped off towards the end of the half, but it was always going to be hard to keep that tempo up. Hopefully we start games like this going forward. I like what I'm seeing today. Let's finish this team off.

Looking forward to this. Got the nice cold beers in the fridge (which I've already made a start on) hoping for a result and first win of the season. Sir Frank will get a great reception, should give goosebumps. Leicester are a good team that could be pushing top 6 so I expect this to be a tough match. Let Kanté and Jorginho do their thing, need a big performance from Pulisic and Mount and get that donkey Zouma on the bench. 2-1 (Pulisic and Tammy) COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!

Still unbeaten so can't complain.

Honestly it could be anywhere from 3rd-8th. We can rule out top 2, Super Frank isn't a miracle worker and City and Liverpool are just too far above everyone right now. Of course we're severely handicapped because of this ban and our best player in the last 5 years leaving, time for everyone to step up now. I'll say 4th behind City, Liverpool and Spurs and above Arsenal and Utd. I also think Everton and Leicester will be dangerous next season and pushing for top 4. Interesting times ahead.

Seriously I'm super pumped for this season now, I'm so f**king happy right now. Some of my favourite memories as a Chelsea fan have come because of this guy, I really hope this works out for all of us, which I'm sure it will, players will instantly respect him.

f**k I'm still pretty f**ked, heads f**ked, voice is f**ked. I almost strangled my mate to death in the pub when we scored the 4th goal, good times. Say what you want, but this team always f**king deliveres when our backs are against the wall in these big finals. I can't fault anyone last night, pretty much everyone showed up and did a job for us last night.

Yeah has to be Hazard for me, ran them completely ragged. Kova also had a great game, one of his best in a Chelsea shirt imo. Kanté looked a bit off the pace at the start but grew as the match went on, solid performance. In fact pretty much everyone turned up and put a performance in. But Hazard gets my vote here.

f**king unbelievable. I dont even know what to say. As soon as we reached the Europa league final we should've sent a reserve team out that weren't going to feature against arsenal, and if it was indeed demanded of us to field a strong team then tell them to piss off because we have a more important trophy to win. Do these people actually think about what they're actually f**king doing, arranging a charity match when it was likely we would be playing a final on less than 2 weeks, a f**king 5 year old would have the sense not to put us on that position, and now because of our stupidity we're without one of our main attacking threats. I give up.

Jesus looking at these comments you'd think we were up against prime Barcelona. In the last month they've been hammered by Wolves and Leicester and lost at home to Palace and drew at home to f**king Brighton. Am I missing something here?? why the negativity?

That was never in doubt, never in doubt at all. ? Hazard you sexy Bastard, Kepa f**king legend. Time to get completely wasted, I'm half way there already COME ON CHELSEA!!!!

I just don't understand why they would do that though, as had already been mentioned they needed to win that game to cement top 4, now there's only a few points between a few teams with 2 games left, with them still needing to go to bayern, top 4 looks unlikely for them now, they probably should've prioritised the league because let's face it that would've been their best chance, they're the weakest team left of the 4 imo. Anyway I don't care whether they make top 4 or not as long as they're not winning Thursday. As long as we take our chances we should be fine, but that cost us in tge last game, had we been more clinical in Germany this tie would be over, we're the better team, but we need to show up on the night, and hopefully the 6-1 thrashing they got has knocked their confidence.

They got walloped 6-1 by leverkusen so hopefully their confidence is shot to pieces, plus we should be on a high after qualifying for next seasons champions league, we really should win this pretty comfortably if we're on this from the start.

I don't see too much wrong with that starting lineup, probably would've went Barley over Kova but apart from that it's what I expected to see. Bring on RLC in the 2nd half to run at their tired defence, and if Higuian is still not delivering bring on Giroud. COME ON CHELSEA need 3 points here, nothing less is acceptable.
