Not sure what he can do about the level of defending right now mind. We can't even use the Miley excuse tonight. They're just all over the place. And you just can't understate the drop off in quality between Pope and Dubravka. I know he was great against Blackburn like but I just have zero confidence in the man and much more importantly it doesnt seem like his defenders do either.

Oh well..

Bad luck as well as reality check. But yes, in the end if we don't upgrade 3-4 positions in the summer it will be more of the same next season.

Wow just feck off. We shouldnt even bother for Saturday I think

Tino again one of the few bright spots today.

Even Schar's not himself tonight. Really disappointing how poor we've been given how rubbish Chelsea are.

For upteenth time I'm absolutely at a loss as to what Longstaff adds to the team.

A whole ton of pressure resulted from Miggy making a couple of absolutely shit passess btw. We are just shite

FFS where us Dubravka standing there?

Chelsea have hardly looked to threaten but it's heart in mouth stuff everytime they get near our box just because we look so nervy.

Wasn't the case when he was in full flow last season. He's not a Haaland type of striker that'll only score goals (not that teams wouldnt necessarily want that if you're that good at it), he likes to come in and get involved. Run at people. I think people have made point previously, because of how we've been playing he's been isolated, might be a different story again next season.

Botman another one who's been shite since coming back from injury.

They have been so rubbish, if we keep our intensity levels we win this.

Take that you little pricks! What a finish!!

This season man, absolutely nothing is going to go our way. Just when he was talking about being fit a couple of days ago too, jinxed himself.

Longstaff failing to make simple forward passes again so far, let the ball slide out the side line at one point too without any pressure. Just basic stuff.

Also thinks Tino is Almiro. He's gone completely senile

That stupid goal has knocked the wind out of our sails a bit. We were looking good with a high energetic press and Chelsea were looking shite.

Co-commentator doesnt correct him. Absolute idiots

Wtf was that, We were in control. That was shite.

Getting injured would do it

A few links with Pedro Neto last couple of days, and he's just hobbled off injured yet again today. Good player but his fitness record has got to be worse than Wilson's.

Yup. I think Dazzler got it right (except players are intangible assets not physical 🤓) Profit/loss on sale is recognized in that same period. Chelea's predicament is definitely real, and must be why they were flogging about Gallagher about in the summer and might end up selling him even if they dont want to. I don't know if they can keep extending contracts to spread out amoritization indefinitely, (Let's assume they're ok paying extra wages and sign on fees etc.) If their 'project' continues to falter you'd think the likes of Mudryk, Enzo etc might suddenylfancy a European transfer, that when things will get really interesting. Who knows if Saudi will keep helping them or even if players will want to go there next season.

Agree with this. Unless someone comes in with a silly 20M+ bid I can see the club thinking along the same lines. If he stays fit and we make it into Europe he should get more playing time next season. I agree with the sentiment he might have been overhyped a litte bit, he does have some good qualities. Whether he's able to develop those into something that could see him break into the first team is another matter. Bruno, Joe, Willock, Tonali are physically on a completely different level than many established PL midfielders let alone youngsters trying to break into the starting eleven. A versatile squad player in another, hopefully, busy season is still something we need though and could tell us a lot more about how good he really could be.

A Horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Hey, you’re in here a lot, are you an alcoholic?” The horse ponders for a minute then responds “I don’t think I am.” And poof, he disappears. This is where philosophy students start to snicker, as they’re familiar with Descartes’ famous postulate, “I think, therefore I am.” But telling you that first would be putting Descartes before the horse.
