I thought he was a defender ( of the faith).

I quite like this Sarriball in the main but this hitting the goalposts time and again, while impressive and somewhat exciting, has to be put to bed soon. Like tonight.

Wasn't too excited when he signed but he won me over and then some. Best wishes (and keep Monaco up!).

Great to see Christiansen have two fine games back to back. He's back in contention.

Spurs lowlife fans booing Alonso and the our morons in here giving him stick. Give me a flucking break.

There's something of a 'cup team' in the Chelsea DNA going way back. We turn up for the big ones, viz Liverpool, City, and the other night but then make heavy weather of matches against Palace, Leicester etc. Methinks it will ever be thus.

We played better than in matches which we've won. Really encouraged and not viewing it as a loss with a 2nd leg coming. Although that will be tough - I dont like the way these scoreless matches are totting up. Never really bothers me if we lose while putting our heart and soul into it.

He's had some good games and some ones but if you ask me I really didn't think he turned up at all last night. Bloody awful.

Very good last night but he faded in the second half, especially after he went off.

All the optimists in here as usual. Sigh.

Delighted to see him get his two goals today. Didn't do any harm that he had decent service from CHO. Only thing missing was a smile...always look at the bright side of...

Still trying to work out why people moan and get upset by pure speculation. CHO ain't going nowhere! Perhaps along with Chelsea Match Chat and General Chelsea we should also have a Chelsea Moan area where people can barf off to their heart's content?

Hopefully!

Looking at last night's match it is clear to me that not only the players but Sarri himself are all on a learning curve.
