Very strange that we've ended his loan with Charlton and brought him back. I wonder what the plans are for him? He was playing regular football and doing really well - I hope that this doesn't backfire.

He played central midfield for Wigan last year for 3/4 of the season and won their player of the year. He has the attributes to be a word class right back, he wont be switching positions anytime soon.

Such a good player, he's getting better and better with every game. He should be one of the first names on the team sheet moving forward.

Just found this video from 2 weeks ago, seems like Ruben could be in the mix very soon!

Haven't heard an update in a while. My guess would be back training with the 1st team this month and available for selection in Feb.

Brilliant yesterday! I thought Zouma was our best defender on the day, but Rudiger's leadership qualities are great.

Absolutely brilliant from Lamps yesterday! Tactical masterclass! I was really underwhelmed with the starting 11 when I first saw it, because I'm a fan of 433 and was worried we'd lack attacking threat with an extra defender. I was so wrong and happy to admit it! We were brilliant all over the park - I wouldn't score any of our players under an 8/10. Special mention to Willian who gets a lot of stick on here, but yesterday he produced a 10/10 performance. He was unplayable! I'd say that was his best performance in a Chelsea shirt - even better than in the Champions League against Barca. Best early Christmas present - I'm so happy!

I must say that I’m a bit underwhelmed with the line-up today. Really seems to be lacking attacking intent. Spurs have been shipping loads of goals this season - I felt that we should have stuck to our principles and gone more attacking. I’m worried about how this line-up will create anything without Pulisic’s and CHO’s pace on the counter attack. Hopefuly Frank proves me wrong! Come on Chels!

Happy with the draw. There is no easy match and Bayern are a very good team, but we're Chelsea! We can eat ANYONE on our day. Bayern have had their struggles this season - sacked their manager recently and behind Leipzig in the league. Coman has also just got injured, although not sure if he'll be back in time to play us. Back where we belong in the knockout stages of the Champions League - love it!!

If the buy-back clause is £3.5 million then I think it's a no-brainer to get him back. Give him a chance to impress in training and if he doesn't we'd be able to sell him for £20-30 million. He's started the season on fire and reached levels that I never expected of him.

I thought Dave had a good game, but didn't do enough for their goal at all. Their winger found to far too easy to beat him and get in the cross which led to their goal. Dave seemed tentative in that action, like he didn't want to risk giving away a foul or hand-balling a cross.

He looked very composed and confident on the ball which was great. Really poor defending from our defense for their goal though and he also made a howler at the end which nearly cost us qualification. Considering that he barely had anything to do all match, that isn't great. A similar mistake from Christensen or Zouma and the forum would erupt! I'm putting it down to a bit of rustiness - hopefully the mistakes will be ironed out once he's had a run of games. I really like his presence at the back.

We weren't open against Norwich or Wolves, but we were in the others and Jorginho was indeed playing. To blame Jorginho for our openness though is unfair, it's not one players fault. We're an attacking team now and are creating more chances and playing better football, but when we're bombing forward it also means that you're going to leave more spaces at the back. I didn't think we looked any more solid in the middle last night than we did when we beat Brighton 2-0 for example. Or against Ajax away, our best performance of the season.

Certainly did. How many of those matches did we lose Davey? We won the midfield battle in all those games except Ajax and Valencia which were both crazy games with no control from either team.. Jorginho was actually absolutely brilliant against Wolves away, I don't know why you've put that in there. Utd was our only loss in those 7 games which was our first game under Lamps and it was probably naive tactics on our part in that match.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. With 2 defenders in the 6 yard box (Christensen and James), I think Kepa had every right to protect his goal-line. Great cross, poor defending, (another!) fluky finish.
