Give Barkley some time on the ball and he can do brilliant stuff, I often find he has the right ideas but poor execution, this one was perfect though.

Will Timo win VAR Golden Boot again this season? Edit: does @Sidneyticketslev or @Gol15 have stats for disallowed goals since VAR introduction btw?

Chelsea 4 - 1 Southampton 28' Timo (Lukaku if Timo is benched again)

Remember when we actually had chances for Werner to miss? Glorious days.

Oh bloody hell. Get Ben off!

I guess we can all agree that Tommy must release Pulisic from his underprison dungeon now. 😅

Get CHO on that left field instead of Ziyech... Stop that ball trapping, pass to rudiger or Alonso's right foot in the halfway line. Someoneeee

Alonso's bright run of form is over. Time for Ben, TT

After the Pool game people were praising how resilient and prepared this team was, and now after one lousy defeat against City we're suddenly just not ready to compete against them both. Come on, guys... We can surely take those pts back in the reverse fixtures, especially that 1 pt against Pool in which we played 11vs10 for a whole half. Btw, the one silver lining in what Sidney had posted about fixtures after Christmas is that we get rid of Pool, City and Spurs before the knockout rounds of CL, so no resting required. Yes, it will take major effort to lift the title (as it always does, no matter the pts difference between teams) and our upfront players gotta step up, but I do think we'll be pushing anyone to the title.

And we just witnessed a poor game from both best players in the world 😅

It says more about Ziyech than Saul at this point, which is quite weird seeing he got goals against City last season

Slowly starting to play some football... Come on Alonso, hit that

He was our only bright spark in the offensive side tbh... But we're lacking precision in the midfield areas (plus that Lukaku first touch which was very Werner and Romelu esque)

Besides Kova being a bit careless, I don't think we're that bad at all. We're pressuring them at the right spots and we're 1 Kova run through the middle to get a nice opportunity. Timo is looking lively as well.

Chelsea 2 - 1 City Werner 35'

NEVER IN DOUBT! Is it offside? 🤣

Agreed. Sarr on the other hand looks like a poor Zooms, quite sturdy and athletic but not tactically nor technically sound, and has ways to go to surpass that Happy smile.

Besides the mish*ts I feel like he's trying to outsmart everyone and not sticking to the basics. Maybe he does need a bit of a longer holiday. I'm missing Werner's movement, I'd definitely have started him.

My god... We're playing at friendly intensity at best... So many loose passes and crossing

Damn, no Timo! Can I change my scorer to Havertz then?

Chelsea 3 - 1 Villa. Werner 27' (go Timo!)

I always say the problem with Jorgi's penalties is lack of variation. To me it just seems logical to stress out the keeper by making him always guess whether he'll do the hop or not. Am I insane for thinking that? I mean, if I had this thought then surely someone as savy as Jorginho could vision that.

I'm not sure why and when it started, but since I was a child (I'm thirty now, so since the 90s at least) I've always seen the no. 17 associated with good dribblers. Here in Brazil it was always associated with Denilson (from Betis) whom I'm not sure many of you remember but was our spark & plug player of the bench on the 98 and 02 WCs. Cristiano Ronaldo and probably Quaresma (can't remember atm) also wore it when he started playing for Portugal. Just a few examples out of my head.

Damn you @Valerie. My fall happened just like you predicted! Lpool 0 - 1 Chelsea 54' Lukaku

Wish we get Dortmund and smash 80000000000k wages Haaland first-hand.
