For an opening bid that's pretty high

We have 4 brilliant options in CM which is a good problem to have but good luck to Maresca trying to keep them happy. I think in the tougher way games if be happy for us to play 3 of them, but generally I think Pedro should be playing as the second striker/number 10.

I think if everyone's fit and not suspended I think he plays behind Delap as a second striker/10 where Nkunku played today. He's very well rounded I think a lot of the time he'll be wasted as a number 9, which of course sounds mental after his performance tonight.

I'm not convinced he will actually be sold this summer, but I think as a fan you just know when a player's time to leave the club comes and it feels like that's come for Jackson. We've upgraded the centre forward position with 2 players so he's now third choice and one of them isn't even a proper number 9.

2 and a half

I've drawn an arrow to show where we are lads

he doesn't help himself does he

As annoying as it is, Pedro was on the beach literally a week ago, not surprised we took him off after an hour. Just a shame it's only Jackson that we could bring in to replace him.

f**king get in! I'll say what everyone is thinking, there is no chance that we score there if that's Jackson.

Sanity prevails

His arm is by his side wtf is he meant to do?!

Thank Christ for Cucurella, what the hell was Sanchez waiting for?!

Beautiful goal Joao Pedro, unlucky Gusto, seems like he's gonna have a Makelele goalscoring record

Agreed, but very wide left, so far wide left that he's actually outside the stadium.

Before the summer id have said if we got an offer £40m+ we should take it, but given what £55m gets you nowadays we'd be selling ourselves short getting less than that.

I think the only way we'll be able to bin off Sterling is if we either loan him out or if we can find an agreement on severing his contract and pay him off.

I think we're gonna end up signing Kudus to be honest. I rate him highly so I'd be over the moon with him replacing Madueke.

Not exactly pure profit when we paid about £15m for him. Last night was the time I've watched him for pretty much a whole game, and I think the highest compliment I can pay is if he's more of an Enzo type of midfielder but fit in seamlessly in the Caicedo position it shows what a well rounded talent we've got on our hands.

With any luck today shows he's fallen down the pecking order and we're looking to sell up, I think we all saw the impact Pedro had on the game coming off the bench is something Jackson wouldn't be able to do.

At least we can be happy he scored now that we've won, quality goal. Standard Chels to have their own player score against them though.

Yeah I think long term Pedro plays the role Nkunku played today, but with running and enthusiasm.

Well we've easily paid off the UEFA fine now

Unlucky Noni, good save

Quality first game for Andrey Santos
