Anyone summarise the game so far for me, I've just come in and seen our goal

Poor set piece defense cost us the goal, some below average crossing and Kovacic hit the bar and post, CHO hit the bar, Mount was invisible on the right side but made the assist after the through ball of Jorginho. Feels like Ziyech is the only one trying to create something out of nothing, Azpilicueta forced himself to score basically.

Only we can comfortably win the UCL with a well spirited squad and add this piece of work to the squad.

One of the reasons why I so often get on his back is because every time I see him, he reminds me of what we have given up. I am bitter about it, I will admit that, but can anybody blame me when I see our team play a system that wins us the Champions League and we bring in a player that completely disrupts that? To see such a massive ego without the quality to back it up come into a team that was clearly going places has really annoyed me.

how much has Lukaku put on? 

I'd love to know the answer to that.

Obviously not professional enough to continue with the diet and discipline that got him in his best shape at Inter ....

He's looking like a worse buy than Torres and Morata at this point. 

Kiddiminster leading Wet Spam. Not just us today then.

Brilliant goal by the captain.

Indeed it was. Thankfully!

I would take Lukaku off at half time. I'm sick of watching him to be honest, he's just a liability. He can't move, he's slow at doing anything, his touch is atrocious. 

I suspect TT and the Board are regretting splashing that much cash on a lump of lard.  Would have been better to have spent half that much on Calvert Lewin, Watkins or even Danny Ings...or better still spent no money at all and kept Tammy or Broja.

It's worse because we had a better attack last season, and we fell into the trap of looking for the holy grail of a #9.

Come on now, Utd did it yesterday!

Honestly though, it's inexcusable to go half ass against Plymouth

Kiddy looking better than Plymouth.

Put on Havertz for Lukaku and play Mount on the left and Kovacic to the right side of the pitch in the midfield. 

Put Kai on. His movement is great. Shoot, even mediocre movement would be improvement over Lukaku. 

Come On Chelsea!

Some absolutely dreadful half time "Muzak" on the BBC web broadcast for this game. Whoever chose that needs shooting as much as Lukaku ...

He does not care, he's on over £300,000 every f**king week. In his own words he wants to be back in Italy. This c**t has so royally f**k this club, i'm honestly struggling to watch while he is on the pitch.

Anyone else a bit concerned Kepa looks interchangeable with any Plymouth player in that grey shirt?

Crossed my mind also. I guess the silver vs white was cleared, but pretty close.

It's crazy, last season we made boatloads of chances sometimes almost at will. 

Lukaku comes and suddenly we have to rejig everything and we looked worse

 

Great goal Dave!

Don't put Kai on the pitch, let Lukaku suffer out there, save Kai for the big games.

Thankful Dave got the equaliser before half-time, important to get that before the break - otherwise the team hasn't been all there enough especially in finishing - Plymouth's early goal a warning we shouldn't be underestimating them - some improvement by us as the half went on, hoping we can quickly build on it second half!

Is there any reason havertz is not playing at the mo x

As iv'e said he's the worst ever signing, ever. We used to laugh at how bad Robert Fleck was, this c**t just wants to make me cry.

Hopefully we go up a few gears in the second half.

We simply have to.

I don't know, get him some match practice in time to play in the club world cup.

Azpi great goal, Kova two decent shots, twice CHO found Lukaku.

Mount coming more into the game too.

Lukaku not firing let's hope something falls for him or Havertz on 70mins.
