Enzo's corners have been good, TBF. His only real positive contributions to our game today.

FFS, Fernandez... Sums up our first half. Caicedo, Estevao and maybe Chalobah deserve some credit, but the rest of the team should be embarrassed.

I'd be fuming if we had a goal disallowed for that. Thank f**k, but morally we still a goal down.

Welcome to Chelsea... apparently he's friends with Enzo, so maybe he'll help bring out the best in him? I don't know, I'm just trying to be positive here.

No Trev is surprising. Full squad: Glad to see Palmer's not included, allows him to focus on his recovery without any distractions.

I have never seen him play but I watched an analysis video on YouTube and it seemed like he could be a mirror image of Cole Palmer, so now I'm devastated. Tantrum incoming.

Yeah, maybe a few million more if they really tried, but it barely moves the needle relative to our total sales income.

His contract expires in June, so that'll drop his valuation. £2 million is better than nothing.

So, he'll be up for sale again next summer when Spurs fail to qualify for the CL?

He reminds me more of Cole Palmer, to be honest... By God I hope we don't sign Garnacho at any price. This forum is apparently very "polarised" on most issues, but I think most of us are aligned on this matter.

Exactly, if you can't make the changes and trust the players out there not to concede 4 goals in 20 minutes then you've got big problems. A good, low pressure opportunity to gives minutes to players who need them.

Disappointing to see Delap come off, it'd do him good to get on the score sheet.

Hard to believe Potter and Maresca were in the same squad. I was just thinking how much older Potter looks tonight. He seems to have aged 10 years since leaving Brighton.

Somehow littered seems like the perfect choice of adjective.

Love seeing that tracking back from Neto.

Estevao should never get blamed for that. He lost the ball, but itwas not in a critical area. The midfield and defence just opened up and let him carry the ball forwards and shoot without challenge, and Sanchez definitely should have got a hand to that. A catalogue of errors, with Estevao's being the smallest And as I type this, Pedro equalises. Game on! Holy sh*t, the delay...

WTF Sanchez, maybe try using your left hand? The space we gave him is also shocking.

Yeah Inside Number 9 is brilliant and unique and the kind of thing that would never get made on a commercial broadcaster. "A Quiet Night In" has to be one of the best episodes made.

You mean the gold CWC badge (it is not exactly to my taste, tbh), or our Liam?

That's not what you said. You said "what's he done for Chelsea", which I find not very reasonable. I also never said it's "acceptable" to say he's our "best" defender without any performances to show it, I actually agreed with you it's hyperbolic, with the caveat he could become that one day. f**king hell. I'm sure he is very focused on becoming fit, and I can understand him desperately wanted to play football. Being injured is the f**king worst. I cannot hold his over-keenness to play football against him.

"what has he ever done for Chelsea?" is not a very reasonable question when he's not had any opportunity to do anything due to circumstances beyond his control. I've been signed off work for the past 6 weeks due to a cycling injury, and if my boss asked me when I go back "what have you done for the company in the last couple of months" I'd find it quite unreasonable, to say the least, and tell him to go f**k himself, only in more professional terms. He was regarded as one of the most talented young defenders in the league when he joined us, hence the astronomical transfer fee, and if he is able to playing for us again at anything like the level he was at before, that would be a great thing for our prospects this season and for years to come. I don't know if he's our best defender when fit, it's not possible to know yet and I agree it is hyperbolic to claim that, but I believe he could still become that, and I hope he does. I also don't care if people are offended by him deleting Chelsea stuff from his Instagram. The spineless c**ts abusing him for being injured and holding his transfer fee against him are the lowest of the low, an embarrassment to the club.

The CWC badge at least adds some symmetry, although it throws off the colour-scheme. It'd be better if they switched the CFC and CWC around.

We've had a lot worse, but there's a couple of aspects that don't seem right to me. I'm not sold on the bright white collar, and the badge placement in the centre seems odd. I like the black with blue trim, though. I can't remember really liking any of our kits since we switched to Nike. They always seem to have to "over-design" them and do too much.

That's true, the train network is notoriously unreliable these days due to years of focusing on profits and dividends for share holders instead of investing into modernising/maintaining aging infrastructure.

It seems to suddenly gotten good at detecting uBlock Origin and Brave browser, which it didn't used to do for me.
