The most underrated striker in Europe.Personally think he'd be a great signing and still only 27 the same age drogba was when he first signed for us.
 

I honeslty feel like Tuchel out tacticed himself. Every knows that leeds weakness is setpieces and crosses but for some reason he left Giroud on the bench and played Havertz as a false 9. I dont have a problem with havertz as a false 9 but we need strikers/attackers who are willing to run into the box when Havertz drops deep like CHO or Werner but instead Tuchel played Mount and Ziyech  who prefer to have the ball to feet rather than run into space. His substitutions were horrible as well. It would have made more sense to bring on Giroud instead of CHO as his final sub unless he was happy to take a draw.  
      Tuchel has been good but his naivety has cost us 4 points against Leeds and Southampton who were in terrible form but both got points when they played us

Hopefully he does start and keeps that momentum from the Everton game going,he played wel looked confident on the ball got a glimpse at what he can do at last.
This Leeds game could be Werner's opportunity to stick a couple of goals in too as long as that leeds defence keeps giving it up.

He did better last season than he has this season in terms of goals scored.That's the point I was making.
There's a list of young players that have been on the books at Chelsea in one way or another in the past that have gone on to be very successful at other clubs.That's the only concern I have if we let go of Tammy.
Either way I suspect he will leave sooner or later if the rumours of Haaland coming are true.

Don't ever mention Flo alongside those others, bloke was/is a hero to those that grew up in the 90s!

Brutus: It's hardly football to write home about and I'd suggest not getting to carried away just yet.
Since Tuchel took charge in league games - Chelsea have scored (9)
four more goals than West Brom (5)
three more than Fulham (6) and Sheffield United (6)
Defensively we appear to have improved. 13 clean sheets this season, 7 under FL 6 under TT.
The insistence to play Werner could yet cost the club a "arsenal celebration" spot. 
Current club league top scorer Tammy Abraham...... 6 goals 2 assists 8 goal involvements from 1000 minutes: Werner 5 goals 8 assists 13 goal involvements from 2000 minutes. Giroud 4 goals
Thank Frank for Mount he's our top scorer under TT 3 in the league. Jorginho is second top scorer with 2 penalties. 
The standard of football has been dire across the league for the last month or more.
Last night definitely wasn't the best ive seen Chelsea play but I'll take the points. 

Wow I'm surprised at this take tbh. Even if you disregard the fact that PSG is built to win the ligue 1 every year. The guy still built a system to accommodate Neymar and Mbappe in which they thrived. Which sounds easier said than done.
He took a burn out Dortmund after Klopp left and repackaged them as an exciting attacking team. Beat some of the best teams and coaches in the world with PSG during his two and a half year stint in the ucl. Real tactical masterclasses like against Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Unbeaten at home in the league with Dortmund, that's 2 whole seasons pretty mad if you ask me. His win rate is insane at both Dortmund and PSG 63% and 75% respectively rounded up.
Although the format was unusual he also got to the finals of a champions league.
I don't think we can really say he's tier 1 or 2 until he has a full season in the prem. 

I've been saying for a long time we shouldn't be worried about him. If this is him in bad form I'm honestly excited to see what he looks like when he has one of his famous hot streaks.
Alongside Mount he is one of the players that has played the most games for us this season and for good reason under two different managers. Tuchel has already proven that the price tag means nothing you get into this starting 11 on merit alone.
Werner is our most productive player this season he leads the team in assists and has a combined goals and assists of 19 in 36 games. That's more than some of our rival players yet people would still have you believe (rival fans alongside some chelsea fans) that the guy isn't a good player.
When did football get to the point where a guy getting a goal/assist within every 2 games in his debut season is seen as an average or bad player/flop?

That's exactly what's gonna happen he'll go back to villa or West Ham and start banging in goals and fulfilling his potential.
Funny how he was scoring last season under lampard in a more attacking system all be it with less expectation also which is frustrating.

Haven't scored 3 goals in league game since end of December but like the optimism 

3-5-2
Mandy
Azpi              Christensen           Rudi
CHO        Kante           Kov         Chilli
Mount
Giroud        Werner
                                                                      

Don't think he'll ever sell the club in fact when ever he does step away for whatever reason I think he's son will take over the reigns.

Hope city put 3 or 4 past them West Ham fans are getting light headed being that high up the table.

Every game so fare tuchel has started with a back three so it's probably not wrong to assume that he'll stick with a back three into the future.
We've proven already that we're solid with the three central defenders with or without silva.
We could have prim JT in that defense and still wouldn't hit a barn door.We need a clinical striker if we're gonna get anywhere near city next season.

Yes because it's the defense is where all our problems are🙄

Get that chip off your shoulder mate, if anything I've given Tuchel a huge compliment by stating how confident I am about beating United.
I really don't think they're that good. Bruno have transformed the team, without him they wouldn't be in top 4. Without Bruno, they look like an ordinary team. It's like us playing without Hazard while he was here.

I don't see that much downplaying tbh - the narrative always was that with Atletico and United (+Everton) the real tests came up so this certainly is one of the bigger ones. But that said, I also agree that they are clearly beatable and a lot of their success results by the individual brilliance of Bruno and less because of their superior setup as a team. They're still a very good team of course but I'd say the odds are rather 50/50. And with the few days of additional rest - I wasn't aware they have to play today - I'm growing confident we can edge out a win, especially since Tuchel has played them four times already and one can be quite certain they'll play the very same setup this time as well. I think TT is head and shoulders above Ole so I'm pretty sure he knows exactly what he wants and can prepare accordingly + react during matchtime which is a thing Ole for some reason never does.

Thought they were calling it the "Cock End" or have i been misinformed 

Solskjear apparently wants to build his team around McTominay, if that's true he'd be lucky to make it past August.

A lot of talk about Jovic knocking around would take Timmo Werner if available myself personally.
Lukaku never

There’s lots of money to change hands before decisions are made ???

The funniest thing I have seen on this thread is Wallosh saying Solskjaer is a better manager than Sarri! ?

He should get another year there's no point changing the system now anyway.I think this year was a learning curve for Sarri in England a bit like Guardiola in his first year with the Mancs.He got the minimum requirement out of a squad that is lacking in key areas especially up front.
He has made two youth team products first team regulars,got us to a league cup final(Unlucky to lose),there's a great chance of finishing 3rd and two games away from winning the Europa league.
All we need now is fifa to f**k off with the transfer ban and Sarri can sign the players we need in the summer and hopefully next year we will be challenging for the league and Champions League again.

It really is shocking to me that you don't know the difference between two positions as proven by this post. Jorginho plays as a regista, Barkley as an attacking playmaker/midfielder. What next? are you going to tell me that Lampard scored more goals than Makelele?
