Zakaria has really grown into the game. Some nice interceptions after which he imemdiately passes the ball forward to spring a counter-attack. Early days of course but it's encouraging to see him perform so well in the pivot.

It's really odd that Potter has our fall backs pushing forward more now than he ever does when we play with wing backs. The whole point in playing wing backs is because you want them forward as often as possible.

I'm sorry didn't you brush off the notion he was off pace a few weeks ago? Could of sworn you disagreed with my comment that he looked off during the warm up against Wolves. 

Make some subs Potter 

Oli scores brace and assists tonight 

Arsenal beats us worse than Brighton did if we play like this against them.

Even Zagreb are finding openings everywhere and they are a poor team.

If I remember correctly both Tuchel and Potter have indicated that Zakaria needed some time to reach match fitness after arriving from Juve.

She may have been on the apple sauce that day. 

Why bring Silva on in a dead rubber like this.

Zakaria playing himself into the starting eleven for the weekend, then in classic Chelsea style puts on a disaster class against Arsenal.

Which makes sense given the extent of his knee injury

Should have been a tap in for somebody, that was a perfect cross from Chilwell.

Armando !!!!!!!!!!

tripple change

Why is be bringing silva on? Guy needs a rest.

For all those worriers, Benfica are now winning their group leaving PSG as a possible opponent. I haven't been overly impressed with PSG when I have seen them this season though. Great attacking options, but dodgy defensively.

Snap

You cant keep Silva off the pitch for more than an hour or he starts cracking up.

Why Silva?

Jubilant like he scored, just for warming up.

I can still see us getting thumped by Arsenal at the weekend

You misunderstand me I think. I commented on your surprise that it might take a player 3 months to settle in. I meant to say that some players need more time to adjust to a completely new environment than others.

Oh f**king hell we're just jinxed with injured
