Kai Havertz
Pay 80, 90 or 100 million for a young promise. More responsibility is required. Real life is not a computer game. I have a lot of doubts about this player, he plays for Leverkusen, for God's sake. It may be, who knows, but it is not yet. And as I say, I have many doubts, ... For a reasonable price I could think of that, for those values, that some other club takes him. Probably, he will stay in Leverkusen until he proves something more than he has done to date. I see people comparing him to Cristiano and Messi. The people are crazy.

Oh boy!!! Please, whoever has heart problems, refrain from watching this.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea (PL) Tue 7th July 2020 18:00 GMT
We started the game practically winning, we reached the second goal, a great goal from Pulisic. We ended the first half very close to suffering a draw with 2 goals. In the second part, much stranger than the first, we hit the 1-3 in a good shot by Tammy. And we ended the game with our hearts in the mouth with 3-3 so close to happening ... Lampard doesn't know what to do defensively, he never did, this is the story of the whole season. We have to hire a goddamn coach who knows how to put the team to defend or it doesn't help having Pulisic, Willian or Werner and Ziyech. Absolutely nothing. We are an amateur team back there and the responsibility for that is entirely up to a coach who doesn't know anything about it. And he didn't have enough clairvoyance to know that he needed an assistant to do it for him.

we need a coach Defensively we are worse worked than a Championship team

Crystal Palace v Chelsea (PL) Tue 7th July 2020 18:00 GMT
As long as we don't hire a coach who knows how to put the team to defend, there's no solution. The game starts with 0-1, after a 0-2, against a team that does not play anything here the freak festival started back there. The team does not know how to defend. And Gilmour here, please, a little more respect. A lot is at stake. Willian and Pulisic, always them, always them.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea (PL) Tue 7th July 2020 18:00 GMT
In a team that is a shame defensively, always changing the pair of CB, is still a kamikaze bet. Gilmour, Mount, Barkley wtf? When Barkley is our best midfielder I get a little scared. I hope Pulisic doesn't have an injury from the overload of minutes. I expect the same Crystal Palace from the last game, because otherwise, it can be very complicated.

Callum Hudson-Odoi
Goodbye and good luck. Is there anyone who still buys him as a great promise in the world of football?
-
Kai Havertz
I don't understand this purchase, this interest, I honestly don't understand. And I have so many doubts about this player, but so many, ... For this price we could do so many better things ...
-
Declan Rice to Chelsea?
Okay, he's young, English, completely overrated. He's not even CB. And completely banal. Please, not this, we made 2 such good purchases outside the English market. No Chilwell or Declan Rice ... please.

Following our Nearest & Dearest Rivals 2019/20
The most likely to happen is that Man Utd will finish 3rd. They have the most favorable schedule and are very strong at this time. With this victory yesterday we should have at least secured 5th place, but be careful if we reach the last journey with life at risk, I hope not. It is necessary to give due recognition to the magnificent season that the Wolves are having. Playing Europa League since so early, with the best players in both competitions, with these results. Who knows they play Champions winning the Europa League. It would be fair. We have to finish within the first 4. But we are a Russian roulette.

Mason Mount
I must have seen a different game, I suppose, but it was a poor performance by Mount. He made a good pass and spent the rest of the game protesting with the referee and walking his vanity. He has talent, potential, but he's not a star yet, and if he thinks he already is, he's in a very bad way. Lampard likes him, but the reality is what it is, next year it takes a lot more than that to be able to play in this team.
-
Christian Pulisic - Official
This player never deceived me and I saw him doing tests in one of the big Portuguese clubs, which did not offer him what Dortmund would offer him shortly after, as it has been a very smart club in the young values market. Lampard did not seem to know very well what was in his hands, I have doubts even that he had him in mind for the eleven starting next season, now it is simply an inevitability. The good problems that a quality coach wants. And he will need brains to fit everyone.
-
Jorginho is.... (well now was) a Blue
His departure seems now increasingly obvious. Unfortunately Kante and Jorginho can't stay both, you have to choose, for what seems to intend Lampard KAnte makes more sense. Whoever contracts Jorginho will hire a great player. It will be an important sum of money to hire another player or a direct exchange for that same player that the squad may need.
-
Willian
It is a political decision. We opted to hire young people. We cannot offer a 3-year millionaire contract to a player of this quality to sit on the bench. I really like Willian, it was very important this year, when he could be being selfish and save energy for his next club. There is no shortage of suitors for him. But it is true that his wish was to stay here. A complicated decision, but a political one, I think that after hiring a substitute for the starting eleven, you cannot have a Willian in the bench when with that effort you can apply to other needs.
-
Tammy Abraham
Tammy had an opportunity this year that very few people have in a team of this level. He started well but it is not the first time that he starts well and ends so badly. His level does not allow him to play for Chelsea. I hope he is realistic about his quality.
-
Chelsea v Watford (PL) Sat 04th Jul 20:00 GMT
A peaceful victory in a soporific game. Pulisic and Willian always mark the differences. Always them. Giroud, another clear level, in relation to Tammy. Watford was a relatively easy prey, after the second goal they started thinking about the next games, they never scared too much. Kante, Pulisic and Willian cannot play everything, Kante left with muscular complaints. I hope it's nothing serious. What I liked least was Mount. At this level he is closer to Championship than to Champions League. Some humility, boy! Much protest with the referee and little performance. CHO even makes me feel sorry to see him play and it is not for the little that appeared today. At least the 5th place should not escape us, I hope that in the worst case scenario, it will lead us to the Champions League.

Chelsea v Watford (PL) Sat 04th Jul 20:00 GMT
I worry about the excessive minutes of Kante, Pulisic and Willian. They are decisive and important, I know, but they should have rested in that FA CUP game. We have to win this game. Let's see what comes out of the lottery today.
-
Chelsea v Watford (PL) Sat 04th Jul 20:00 GMT
0-0, 4-0 or 0-2. Who knows? We are capable of everything. If Kante, Pulisic or Willian do not rest, they will burst.

Willian
I saw throughout the time a huge injustice always directed towards Willian. It is nothing new. But let's talk about this year. Contrary to what many try to sell, Willian has big clubs that want him well before this season starts, there were never just one or two nor none of them disappeared with the covid. It is certainly, among the players who terminate the contract, the most desired one. So this argument that what he does well is because he is trying to get a contract as if he didn’t get a better or equal in another club has no place. He was absolutely essential this season, in the midst of this chaos, he was a leader and a warrior. While many spent the season talking about clouds like CHO and company, Willian gave and continues to give what no one else is able to give, even if it is completely inglorious as it was in the last game. He could have protected himself this season, because he did not need this season to get the contract he had already secured, much less walk this time of year killing himself playing every 3 days in a club that does not know how to defend a corner. A little respect and justice for Willian who is one of the few who deserves it. But we know where these narratives come from.

We've got a new Kepa
He's a goalkeeper and a decent goalkeeper. He is not the best in the world and he will never be. Whoever made him the most expensive goalkeeper in the world is more at fault than Kepa for this situation. Who was responsible for this disastrous operation? Kepa at one point was available for 20 million, when Real Madrid was on time to sign him, it just didn't happen because Zidane didn't want competition for Navas and the problems he later had to deal with Courtois' arrival. For 20 million euros it had been a fantastic deal and in case of going wrong there would not even be losses, but they paid 80 million, 4 times more. Crazy. Hpw to solve this now? The only plausible way is an exchange with someone who might be interesting to us. But even that is hard to imagine. Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid do not need a goalkeeper. Loan the most expensive goalkeeper in the world to a club like Sevilla or Valencia is just ridiculous. It is better to sell it now for 20 million off even if it is to Russia.

West Ham Utd v Chelsea (PL) Wed 1st July 2020 20:15 GMT
West Ham 2 corners, 2 goals, one luckily disallowed. 71% posession for Chelsea. We were only able to score from the penalty spot and direct free kick by Willian's inspiration. Only one team had lost both league games against West Ham. We have the same goals conceded as Brighton. One less than Burnley. One more than Newcastle. My Dear Frankie...
-
Nicolas Tagliafico
Of all the options I saw mentioned, it always seemed the best and most balanced. He's a pretty good guy in almost every aspect of the game and with personality and intensity. For a reasonable price. It is the smart option.
-
We've got a new Kepa
He was not worth half of what they paid for him. But he is not to blame for what they paid for him. A player is not just statistics, physics and marketing. Kepa has a personality and an ego that have already caused him problems in Bilbao. When you are going to pay for the most expensive goalkeeper in history, you have to know what you are going to buy, down to the smallest detail. Lampard made him sit on the bench. Was that enough? Will it improve something? What to do now? Nobody is going to buy him without a huge devaluation, the most we can get is an exchange that can be interesting, for a player we need. Obviously he is also a victim of the disaster that is our team at the defensive level. A better coach and a better collective performance will make him look better and be more secure.

lets talk about our defence
It is a Greek tragedy from day one. In general, people discuss the individual quality of our defenders, or of the goalkeeper, when it is obvious that it is a collective problem, of coach, above all. None of our defenses are world class, but none can say that none is also notoriously bad, they are obviously poorly worked and organized. We don't know who the central defending pair is. Does not exist. Never existed. They change, like someone who changes their shirt, sometimes with every game. We are not and have never been able to defend a set-piece. Panic fills each of our players' faces. And supporters. We have the same goals conceded as Brighton. One more than Newcastle. One less than Burnley. There is the level. Is it the players' fault? Do these teams have players of the same level? My dear Lampard, hire an excellent coach to help you or this will never work. You don't know what to do back there.

Remaining PL games
The difference between before and now is that United is really stronger and more consistent. And with a favorable schedule. It seems obvious to me that they will end up in third place. We can beat City and not be able to win a game against West Ham, the Russian roulette continues, it may be that Leicester and Wolves can be worse than us.
