I'm not from England so don't really have to deal with fans personally, but I absolutely hate losing to Liverpoo and their entitled army of "true supporters". They just annoy the hell out of me. Always make it seem like they're destined for their victories even though some of them come from some really flukey calls (hello Garcia) and it's such a drama whenever they lose to anyone, the media around them, the ynwa chant, you name it... plus I never really liked Gerrard who sounded like a prick when they faced my local team São Paulo in the CWC and eventually lost. 
(I have the same feeling about Barcelona and the "més que un club" as well, especially since the Messi era)
I've also marked Arsenal because it's annoying losing to them after Henry/RvP because they're just so bad yet still manage to get some results, it's quite incredible really. Spurs I just can't consider on the same level, poor fellas.  

Apparently he's had 16 goals ruled out by VAR!

So this is the third straight EPL match that my kids have watched the whole match with me.
They were so happy about the win that they begged me to play "Blue is the Color" on my phone.

Arguably it's when he has time that he's at his worst. That's when his lack of a football brain kicks in.

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. 

Took the UEFA player of the year 1 minute to get a player sent off. Well done Jorginho, more than Kovacic+RLC combined in 70min.

9-0
Rüdiger 1'

For those that wonder why some of us want more Timo Werner despite his misses it's because he's a difference maker. 
The argument that gets thrown at Timo Werner's performance last season is that he underperformed as a striker and didn't score enough goals. We can debunk this to an extent by explaining there was always going to be a drop off in goal return due to him adjusting to a new league and overperforming in his final season at RB (compared to his usual goal return). 
Again because I think people seem to undermine this achievement let me say it again he is the first Chelsea player to get at least 10 goals and 10 assists in his debut season since Eden Hazard not bad company. 
He was the most productive player for us last season, people say that's because he played more than others...yes because he was one of our most valuable players to the style we wanted to play in terms of not just scoring or creating chances but, also off the ball movement. So alongside Mount he will get more minutes than others. 
He hasn't played as much this season and in some games you can see we really lack his off ball movement. It cannot be emphasised enough how hard he is for opposing defenders to manage. 
No he shouldn't start every game I don't think anyone in our squad should and this is coming from a big Mason and Lukaku fan. Nobody should be untouchable in this team we want everyone at a high level to be able to come in and out of the team ofc having a standard attacking combination couldn't do us any harm at this point as we search for chemistry.
Take away his goals and assists for a minute and think about his work off the ball, pressing/closing down lose balls, and all around unselfishness to work for the team.
I can't see how people wouldn't want him to play. He evolved as a player right before our eyes last season from simply a goal scorer to a creative force. How can you knock a guy who understands his weaknesses (lost confidence) and then adapts to remain useful.
He is a very intelligent player but, he currently lacks trust in himself rather than instinctively finishing he now over thinks and takes too many touches before shooting but, when he looks to provide the assist it's pinpoint perfect.
Some people think highlights aren't good enough indicators of how good or bad a player is and that's why youtube isn't the best for analysing players. I agree in this instance because it doesn't show how hard he works for the team.
Here in this video you can see how confident he was at the start of last season and how clinical he is as a playmaker.
Nobody not Pep or Klopp wants him running at their defense, teams may pack the box and make it hard for him to utilise his speed but, that's why Lukaku is here, add in another 10 to play RF (Mount, Havertz, Ziyech, Puisic or CHO) and play to Rom & Timo strengths. One scores goals the other creates now all we need is somebody to get the ball to them.

Wasn't around at that time...Pulisic wasn't there yet 🤣

Barkley has been class. Never thought i would ever be typing that

Said all summer that the idea of having a poacher to finish what we create was too simplistic.
In reality you take one man out of the build up.

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

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

Wow this match is an absolute bore fest. On a positive note though my housemate who’s suffered from incurable insomnia has managed to actually drift off so that’s good news.

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

The ref 100% got bullied at school for wearing an Oasis shirt by a load of Blur fans

One thing I have learned over the years is to take five minutes and realise it has zero affect on my life whether we win or lose; it’s just a game after all. However, your kids football match and you being there is real. 

can’t stand Grealish the Twat

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. 

I'm American and have been a Chelsea supporter for 18 years since I was 12. I've been to the Bridge a few times before and was even featured in the club magazine in 2010 for being a fan from the USA but was finally was able to attend my first in person match tonight. We weren't great but god did I love every second of it. I will remember this night forever. What an atmosphere. I can only hope that my next match isn't another 18 years!
