He is a fighter i like that, probably won't see him on the floor a lot. Now Jackson knows he can be dropped and should be his absolutely best or be on the bench.

Poor under Sarri, improved under Lampard but i still don't see the effects of his game. He lacks assist for a deep lying player maker. Gets a few goals but most through penalties. Lampard rates him very highly but i just don't see it.

Dave is my favorite player in the current team, however by next season when we buy a new left back he will be a squad player at best. He can can still provide great cover for various positions in this team and can do a good job when called.

Think it would be best to part ways. He isn't getting better plus gives space for new blood.

Voted ?

I wouldn't go with 343 again, it is a slow formation and our fast wingers are out. Must win simply as no more slip ups in the league against relegation battlers.

Keep Tomori, Zouma, Rudiger and sell Christensen. Buy a new CB in the summer

Unpopular opinion but i rate Tomori and Zouma ahead of him, and well above Christensen. Not sure why Lampard is now forcing Rudiger and Christensen when they are obviously the worse pair.

The first half was let's say okay, the second was completely outclassed by Bayern. The quick second goal killed us off and we where all over the place. Clubs at two very different stages, we are in a rebuild and Bayern is an established compact team. We will see a lot of players leave this summer, and probably a few big signings in. Hope we buy smart like with Ziyech, buy players that we need not just because they are superstars. Focus on the league now obviously, the second leg go out do our best but the tie is pretty much good as over.

Love Mason to bits, but he was overplayed by Frank. The lads needs rotation and a rest, however with Pulisic being out Lampard didn't have much of an option than to force him.

With Pulisic, Odoi, potentially Ziyech or in the best case scenario Sancho he would be unnecessary.

I am highly sceptical that we will manage to pull this off, as loads of top top teams will be after him. If we do it will be MASSIVE for the team and for the club.

Very pleased with this, even though it's not official until i see him with the Chelsea shirt. For his quality, age and experience 38 mill is peanuts. Absolute bargain of a deal, and he is pretty much a player we need. He can score and he can assist which is more important for a player in his role. Excellent overall, these are the kind of signings we should be making to strengthen this team further, no more signing dead weight. Either we need them or not, promote kids if we are short for cover on certain positions simple.

After a solid first season under Sarri (not including the League Cup final), this season he is super poor and he can't even blame the shaky defense for every goal. He needs to improve drastically. The stories linking us with several new keepers aren't going away so he should step up. I think it would be a mistake to sell him after one poor season, saying this he needs competition. We should buy a new perspective keeper that will keep him on his toes, and that will provide quality competition. Why would he worry when we have a 38 year old Caballero as a possible substitute?

We are famous for not strengthening after a title win, we usually go a step backwards.

I'd go with --------------------------Kepa----------------------------------- James----------Tomori--------Rudiger/Zouma----Azpilicueta ---------------------Jorginho----------------------------------- -------------Kova?i?---------Kante---------------------------- Odoi--------------------Tammy------------------Puliši? Kepa has no cover no competition and Willy is just poor. I'd prefer Zouma as he really found some solid form. Odoi as he has to be played, if not sell him. Puliši? to start if fit, either that or Willian but Frank will probably play Mount there. These two home games could define the rest of our season, massive games.

Love how the media made it a big deal, while the likes of United who is the club with most debt in the world isn't mentioned ever. Financial loss without the calculation of sale of players isn't bad at all.

We could/should have a massive budget going into the next summer transfer window considering we didn't spend anything (apart from Kova?i?), plus sales from this season will add to that transfer chest. So basically we should have two budgets plus our sales money, but of course we won't spend it all obviously but the funds will be at our disposal to strenghten this team. Obviously if the kids show up we will have less to spend as they are all English and from our academy. Then we will just add to depth and rotation power.

Think Mount and Ruben should get the edge over Barkley. Also think Ruben could play a deeper role under Lampard, sources claim that he might even try him out as a striker. He has the pace and is built strong solid goalscorer could be good?

Shouldn't underestimate Sheffield, they are a solid side and knowing our defensive worries i doubt they will sit back and wait for us to score. Saying all this we should be able to create several chances and get a few goals in early if we are clinical enough. Think we will manage to win and keep a clean sheet 2-0 Chelsea prediction.

Think Bakayoko will leave us before September 2nd, hope it is a permanent deal. Nothing against him but his loans didn't help he just can't cope. Get as much as we can for him and wish him well.

Well earned and hard fought win too. Both Norwich goals could have been prevented and were "cheap" goals. In the second we tighten things and it was all us. Happy for Tammy and Mount both excellent, also VAR should have prevented Norwich first goal, and it should have gave us a penalty when Azpilicueta was kicked in the box. I guess VAR will work only on the teams that need pushing.

James is an exciting prospect, but think people will expect too much from his after a good season on loan at Wigan. Not position related but we had Bamford who was excellent in the Championship and did nothing in the top division. Tammy had two excellent loan seasons but obviously he will need time to adapt to the Premier League. I really hope he is an instant success but i feel he will need time to adjust to the team and the new league. Also on the Azpilicueta topic, people jumping on him and pointing fingers after years of being in the top three performers in the team? Someone mentioned he is the new Ivanović before he left and it is true. We always need a scapegoat and this time it is Azpilicueta. I agree his form is not good and that he could potentially be replaced as a starter, but is he a bad player? No. Excellent in three positions and was always 110% for us, think he could still be very good for us as center back. We should have pushed Ivanović there too and not keep him at right back and get murdered with pacey wingers.

Love Ruben but he is injury prone for a big lad. Hope i am proved wrong since he is a brilliant player.

With potentially Rudiger back and eager we could look more solid at the back, i hope Norwich can't cope with our pressure and we convert our chances. Doubt this will end in a goalless draw tough haha.
