Couple of things that really got me excited, outside of the obvious attacking threat:
When Hato broke through and was stopped, Fulham countered and Joao sprinted back in, but also screamed at the defence to shuffle across and cover.
When Neto wasn’t found by Steve down the right, he didn’t track back. Rhys gave him the biggest bollocking I think I’ve ever seen him give anyone.
Hoping they are signs of some of the leadership and on field game management issues being resolved.

The Haribo FC victory parade will go ahead tomorrow for those wishing to attend.
Kinetic have been on the phone already and there’s talk of the Strasbourg job for the new year.

How do I regret starting the comp? Let me count the f**king ways. Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Well done to all that took part, Congratulations to Niall and Haribo FC being crowned champions and good luck with the Strasbourg job.
Personally, I was useless. My worst ever performance since I started playing Fantasy League ☹️

What a f**king club man, sat in an empty pub on a Sunday night absolutely gleaming at seeing what those boys have just done.
Nothing like it, many will play it down, purely for the money, Micky Mouse, who gives a f**k. I f**king love this club. Up the Chels.

Im one of the biggest Jackson apologists around, I think hes got the potential to go on and be a cracking player if he can sort some things out, but even last night it was clear what Delap is going to give us that Jackson doesn't. I'd also probably argue that Delap would get a free pass for last night considering he's hardly played competitively for us.
I agree, I don't look at Delap and Jackson as a set of striker options that screams title winning, but I think they compliment eachother well and Delap looks like he has huge scope to make massive improvements in a very short space of time. I also have huge doubts over any realistically achievable striker alternative on the market actually coming here and making any sort of impact.

Thought last night was a decent insight into how we may potentially fare in the CL next year and thought we were solid. Age old story of missed chances potentially coming back to bite us but we easily could have been 4/5 up before the weather break hit. Benfica are a great example of the decent CL sides that you'll have to be good at beating to make progress, a clear step up from the best the Conference had to offer and we dispatched them confidently.
Thought delap really struggled but even when not playing great, it was clear the different dynamic he gives us in being able to play long into and gain some territory. Jackson has his use in link up into his feet, but isn't much of a presence to relieve pressure or offer an out ball.
Colwill has transformed in these last few months, turned into a bit of a leader in how he plays but also communicates. If we can nail down a consistant partner for him our defence is pretty solid.
This tweak of system Maresca has brought in is also very interesting, i've rarely felt as confident with a narrow lead under him as I did last night. Of course the weather ruined that and we were slow back out of the blocks, but prior to that we looked great.
Credit for putting them to the sword in ET too. Many a team would have accepted the world (and that f**king ref) were against them and started throwing thier toys out the pram but once that red card hit we pressed on in the way that proper sides do.

Just remembered we get to watch this PSG team against Spurs in the Supercup. I beg Ange to play his high line against those demons.
