Petrovic for me. Hopefully now fully confirmed as Chelsea's Number 1 keeper.

Chilly for me, closely followed by Cole the Goal and Disasi. I thought Ben was the real difference last night, fabulous first half

I went for Palmer, makes all the difference to this team. Without him, we would be truly f**ked

I have a really horrible but growing feeling that Poch IS starting to lose the dressing room. We can all see that good players are being played out of position and then being castigated for poor performances. They will not be happy with that and will talk amongst themselves or to friends in the media. I have strong doubts about Pochettino's tactical nouse and to be persisting with playing players out of position to continue with a woeful and losing style of play and no Plan B, just makes no sense, other than to him. He WILL be given to the end of the Season, but may not survive the Summer.

Still the very same set of issues that we have had since TT and Roman left the Club. No Leadership on or off the pitch No proven striker/goalscorer worth the name An ex-Spurs head coach and before him ditto a former Brighton coach neither of whom has ever won a thing Owners who care far more about money, profit and Super Leagues and very little about real Chelsea fans and the shocking performances on the pitch The fanbase that is fast becoming tourist based, with no real interest in the Club other than what is on the Menu in West View

I think that unfortunately, there may be some truth in the rumours that the Club MUST sell a certain number of "home grown" players, in order to comply with FFP rules. It would help massively if the Owners or their lap dogs, would explain exactly the position the Club are in. We then just might understand why they are even considering making such shocking decisions as selling Conor. I have posted elsewhere on the Forum that I will be "done" with this Club if we sell Gallagher. This is because of his LOVE for the Club, his endeavour, leadership qualities and loyalty, but to be honest, since these owners came in and f*cked things up so Royally, I haven't really felt the same about the Club or its players (Conor exempted) anyway.

No contest at all - Super Goal Cole for me.

I am seeing enough progress from Gallagher, Mudryk, Caicedo, Palmer, Madueke, Gusto and Petrovic, to be quietly confident of avoiding relegation this season, and pushing for a top ten finish next season 😉😉 My issue is still the Coach, but hey maybe we need to give him some time too ?

I notice you don't bother to mention Jackson 😉 I don't blame you, he is hopeless and will be gone soon

I think that Conor Gallagher should be Team & Club Captain on and off the pitch. He's also a lot more likely to play than Reece.

Gusto was superb throughout, Mudryk is improving fast, Conor never lets us down and Madueke looks like a player.

I can't see Reece holding down a guaranteed first team place for much longer and there will be clubs out there who (wrongly) think that they will be able to prevent him from getting constant injuries

If Chelsea even give a seconds thought to selling Conor Bro', I will genuinely give up. This would prove that money is more important to the Owners than pure effort and loyalty and that would be the end for me.

I thin the key word in this discussion is "effort". I see it from Gallagher and Sterling, but rarely see it from Mudryk and almost never see it from Madueke. Maybe its the same in training, which is why Poch doesn't pick them.

My thoughts exactly Phil. Lots to work on still !!

Fabulous result, but in all honesty, I didn't think we were all that great. Even against 9 men, we seemed to struggle to break them down. But I am a glass half full chap, so am more than happy to accept a slightly fortunate 4-1 against the old enemy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just before he made it 2-1 I said out load, "he is fu**ing useless !! 😉"

It was Connor for me, a real leader at last !!

Sterling, Undoubtedly his best game in a Blue shirt.

He wont get the chance, which is not his fault. Oh and by the way, can anyone tell me of one decent game that Havertz had for Chelsea AFTER scoring the CL winner ??? I will wait..........................................................................................................................

The mood one here this morning has improved massively, For me it was just looking at the League table and seeing us 11th instead of 15th 🥳 . We MUST capitalise on this performance and soundly beat Burnley at the weekend.

Fabulous photos, have really improved my mood this morning 😊😊

I really think that Broja will come good. He is strong, has two good feet (admittedly belied by the early good (offside) chance into row Z) decent balance and can also pick out a pass. Let's give him time to properly return to match fitness, as was nearly a year out of action.

Do you know, this kid is actually playing and looking like a Captain !!!

Tough choice for once !! I went for Palmer as for me, this kid is the difference between us winning and losing, the missing link since Hazard left. I almost feel guilty for not picking Conor Gallagher because he was awesome and I was again impressed again by Cucurella (you'll never type that) and Colwill and dare I say it, but I like Sanchez too.
