Slojo

99% possession, 0 shots, 0 on target You know... The usual

Besides being a big fast strong f**ker, Zouma is a crap defender, never had good awareness, concentration or positioning. He always has a mistake in his game because of this.

I think CHO needs to come on for James myself.

Ehh very stale at the moment, Alonso has f**ked everything up though. Same ole Chelsea right now though, lots of possession and nothing to show for it.

Werner is a woeful footballer, he's been like this all season, offers nothing in the build up play, he's just good at running with the ball and making runs, that's about it.

Mount is doing really well so far

How slow is Alonso lmao

Very sloppy again by Kante.

Zouma passing to Kante there.... Great start...

Anthony Taylor should be banned.

Pulisic has only been here a season, and imo what he did last season was better than anything CHO has produced. And that's not a diss towards Callum, but look at that performance against Liverpool last season, it's clear that this kid has serious talent. Abraham, not sure why he's even getting compared.

Still early days yet, Pulisic had a home emergency which took him out of one game he was going to start. The more rest the better in my eyes, I want to see him back, fresh and ready to go. Still time for him to hit some good form for the end of the season, same with Ziyech.

I think this club needs to stop making signings over 50 million lmao If you look at our top 5 record fee signings it's pretty scary, even top 10, most of them flopped. As a club we have done some great business, but sadly we have signed some absolute sh*te over the years. Strikers especially.

Fair enough, you do come across very negative at times though, and overly critical of all our players. I've had a lot of criticism with Kai this season, but I'm willing to give him the year and see how he is next, I'm trying to just ignore the transfer fee.

Out of curiosity, is there one Chelsea player you do rate? Or are they all sh*t?

I still dislike Kepa from that game. There's nothing I like about him. I try to seperate his personality from him as a player, but even as a player I don't like him. I can't get onboard the new Kepa resurrgence, I think he's a liability and always will be, he's cost us more than he's gained.

Got to disagree there, I think a manager bounce is simply a manager bounce, when a manager comes in and the team starts playing well. I think you're looking into it too much, obviously the players have to get credit, it's very rarely just down to the manager, there's too many facets to this thing. When Ole tookover from Mourinho, that was a manager bounce, they had a great run of form playing from the positivity of Mourinho going. We as Chelsea fans know this better than anyone.

Too many injuries, and he's 25 now isn't he? He's not a kid anymore. When you look at what Mount is doing in the team at a much younger age it speaks volumes. It's a sad state of affairs and it's a "what could've been" unfortunately. I also think his dad has a point about Mourinho, RLC should've broke through the ranks much earlier, even under Conte, to Sarri's credit he did give him and CHO a chance. It's just a big shame he was out for a year when Lampard came in, because Lampard would've definitely played him. A year out can kill anyone's career, just look at Jack Wilshere, wasn't the same player after he was out for that long.

So currently that's our 4th place cemented, unless Villa were to win their next two games, other than that as it stands with all teams playing 24 teams no other team can overtake us but Villa. That's good... At one point it looked like top 4 was gone completely. I still don't bank on Liverpool dropping out though, Leicester and Spurs are likely our rivals for that 4th spot, we need to make sure those two keep dropping points.

Yeah they've looked awful this year, no excuse not to beat this lot. Danny Ings is always a big threat though, wouldn't be surprised at all if he scores.

Exactly... It's okay for them to do it, but if we do it, ooofffff....

Last season Kovacic was creating plenty of chances, obviously again, I'm not saying anywhere to the level of KDB or any top tier creative player in the Premier League. But he can't help it if the chances aren't getting converted. Reece James should have well more assists than he already does, he should be on TAA levels, but so many of his crosses don't get converted. It's clear that in the past few years at this club, we've squandered many chances, I think statistically, especially last season, we had the most failed chances in the league. I think that's obvious why also, since Costa left, who have we had to convert the chances? I like Tammy Abraham, but even he misses a lot of chances, especially in the air.

Frank came from West Ham, then played for Man CIty afterwards. John Terry was a Man U supporter his whole life. It's a stupid way to look at things imo, people got far too carried away.

Except it won't, because a lot of those posters who wanted us to give Frank another year also wanted Sarri out despite winning a trophy.

No, I actually told him off for that in the match day thread. There's a if you don't laugh you'll cry but doing it every week isn't right. I just think the people who wanted Lampard Out get a bad wrap constantly, while it's okay for people who wanted him to stay to keep making the same comparisons and endless arguments about Lampard vs Tuchel. Honestly I feel like it's going to be Sarri all over again.
