dynamite

Good start. We look up for this.

I'm happy with that team. Pretty much the team I though bar tomori for Christensen. We should beat this lot easy, even with our injuries still to return. 3-1 pulisic, Mount and Tammy. COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!!

Well a win's a win i guess. Much better 2nd half, although that defense still worries me, the sooner Rudiger comes back the better. I also felt we missed Kante's presence in that midfield, i doubt Norwich would've got at our defense so easily with Kante and we would've won this comfortably. Honestly though it's 3 points and something for Frank to build on COME ON CHELSEA!!!!

Yes another class finish. Now hold on this time ffs

Nice finish Tammy. What a start.

Comms just said that this is our youngest starting lineup since 1994. Looking to the future.

Come on Chelsea, no Kante and still some players to come back but we should still have plenty in that team to beat Norwich. Nothing other than a win is good enough, really have to win today to get our season on track. COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!

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.

Absolutely no excuse not to win this. Tottenham losing gives us even more of an incentive now, plus I don't think Watford will go all out completely, remember they have an FA cup final so they won't want to risk injuries, they've nothing to play for in the league, how much motivation do they have to win this. Nothing other than a win will do, hazard looked pretty poor the other night so need a big performance from him. Kanté, RLC, Willian just more of the same from Thursday, christensen same thing, need whoever's up top to step up in this game, the final 3rd is whats letting us down, need to finish our chances when then come and we should be alright here. I think 2 or 3 nil, I'm pretty confident we'll win this, this is probably our easiest game left this season so no excuses. COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!

I would've taken 1-1 at the start, but I can't help but feel we should've had this tie won already given how dominant we were for most of the game. That said I think we will do this lot at SB. I just don't get Sarri at all, leaving hazard on the bench and then taken off our best player tonight when we're in the ascendency and pushing for a winner, that chance killed any momentum we had.

f**k our sh*te defence has cost us again so sloppy. We had 4 league games left and this was our easiest match we had. Now we have to go to old Trafford and Leicester. I just can't see us getting in the top 4 now. Europa league is probably our best option. Also hope my boy isn't injured, we need him badly over the next month.
