God Damn, that one guy sneezing coughing & sniffling - get him out of the stadium & quarantine his ass - he has been drinking too many Corona with Limes

Haha, I like those impromptu interviews with Cundy and Pat, is it just me or does Pat look like he could be Gilmour's father?

I do wonder about Mount & Super Frank - maybe that is why Super Frank always adds Mount to the team sheet btw checkout this image of Billy Gilmour & Ollie G

Forget him Val, he’s already left us for Brighton where he’s played 0 minutes. Should have stayed with Chelsea!

Wtf I had no idea Lamptey moved away... That's crazy 

Utd win.

From the gaffer, who is the commentator on the far left?

 

Forgot his name but he's the Chelsea TV commentator. He commentates our games on there and Youth matches.

Talking about Gilmour's father: this is an adorable father and son pic 

Taking 6 points at home against both Scouse teams this week is second only to taking 6 points away to those two ‘orrible teams in North London in one week. 

Passing was very sharp all over the pitch but certainly Barkley and Mount were very effective. Yet we still look shaky at the back particularly today with Zouma and alonso. Giroud suits this lineup so well particularly when we get the other players around him and kepa was able to find him consistently. Going long in attack and sitting deep in defence is surprisingly effective. 
 

Gilmour is terrific on the ball, but has yet to show he’s solid in defence. 
 

while the young guys are great so to is the effort from Pedro, Azpilicueta Willian and Giroud. Team  has good spirit but going away to Munich will be sobering.

Yes having Giroud enables us to play it either long or out from the back which makes it more difficult for the opposition defence.

Hang on, so the players can't shake hands before the game, but can after the game? Hmm ? nothing makes sense anymore ha. 

After the match it's their choice. Basically the PL are covering their back.

Shout out to Kepa came for crosses but his body on the line wasn't going to let anyone in

Hopefully a large part of his problem was complacency, if so major step forward.

Took it easy on them in the end - almost like we didn’t want to humiliate dear old Carlo on his return. 

Got to admit I felt really sad for him when they zoomed to him for the 4th goal.

I'm not actually that big a fan of his management style but the dignified way he conducted himself here means I'll always wish him well.

Yeah, surely Lamptey couldn’t have picked a worse time possible to leave Chelsea! Shows how much faith he had I himself, or did he move for the big bucks?

Either way he’s gone!

That's the downside to having loads of talent coming through, sometimes we will have one player too many in certain positions.

Although with Reece looking the part in CM and Lamptey not getting a look in at Brighton, maybe he's been a bit too hasty.

Great picture of today's scorers.

It was probably the right move for him. James is the long term future at right back and Azpilicueta is still going to play regularly. He might not be playing elsewhere yet but he has a better chance than he did with us.

Some of us old Yanks do.  Hell I still hate that small Yorkshire club that wears white.

Pretty much a perfect day. 4-0 and minutes for youngsters.  Back to the lethal counter attacking and we battered them and kept a clean sheet.

Credit to Frank for playing Billy today. Managers past would have tried to shoehorn Christensen into midfield or some other such rubbish. He repaid the faith. Who needs Jorginho?

Credit also for sticking with the defenders from Wednesday. We dominated them physically.

Giroud and Pedro were also superb. When the big moments arrive, much like Sarri last year, Frank has found that they turn up. Pedro covered every blade just like on Tuesday and was in lots of our good work. 

This really is old Chelsea isn't it? Inconsistent as hell, frustrating some days but when we get it right great fun to watch.

Shame that United won but if we keep this up we can go around Leicester and guarantee top four I reckon. More work to do though
