It is one thing to rightly acknowledge the contributions made by Roman Abramovich to Chelsea football. But he is no "victim." RA owes his fortune to an incredibly dangerous regime, and he could never have done so without the support for, and the support of, Tsar Putin. As Chelsea fans, we can "mourn" his departure, but we need to look past our own narrow perspective, and focus on the larger, and vastly more important issue: Russia must pay for the destruction of Ukraine. Dead children move me a great deal more than the ouster of a Russian multi-billionaire.

Nice win. I could tell that Pulisic was playing with greater confidence long before his goal. And that goal was like his finishes in days of old, diving in from the left side. As for the rest, Silva was a rock, Kante a phenom, and Havertz is still climbing. Somehow, though, it just seems like Lukaku's seven touches weren't missed. I know that he was a demon in Serie A, but when do we admit that his return to Chelsea was a <ahem> flop?

Hmmmm, I think I catch your drift LOL. The kid is 23; do you remember being 23? He's not done yet.

The keeper DID make a great stop, at times we have to look for explanations beyond the bias of "oh, he pooched that one." There are few young players who are as able as Pulisic to stay calm inside the box, and find clever things to do with the ball. He has assisted from inside, and scored. We can only hope Christian can maintain his health.

At 0-2 looked a steep hill. We did well to dig ourselves out. Every single player put a shift in and it reminded me of the earlier game at Anfield the solidarity throughout this squad is strong regardless of the Lukaku situation.
You can see TT has players out there that will go to war for him which is something that we can't just underplay. TT helped a lot of them realise their life long dream of winning the UCL. 
Today was a prime example of why we should stick with Pulisic, he's by no means the finished article. But you take a glance across the field and see Mane and Salah that's what he can become with patience it was about this age 23 we ditched Salah. 
Thought Kai did a good job considering he barely got a clear cut chance, when he did he should have shot rather than cutting back. He does a lot of ugly work which some do give him credit for, not just constant runs but the hold up play to bring others in to play when he's isolated in their half. 
Kovacic motm and you can really see why we missed him. At a glance you look at this squad and you could say we were very unlucky to be 10 points behind after the halfway point but it's up to us to continue to improve throughout the season and try to rain on City's parade come the end of the season be that gate keeping them from a ucl win again or hunting them til the end of the season.
