Yeah I didn’t think he was bad. He needs to be in a midfield of 3 though to excel IMO. He’s not versatile or disciplined enough to perform in a double pivot.

He’s still young enough to make good on his transfer fee. Hopefully he gets healthy and uses this year as motivation to come back and kill it next year.

Classic Chelsea performance today.

Didn’t have too many clear cut chances but still were in control throughout. Thought Baka was awesome today. Kept it neat and tidy and rarely got caught out of position.

Helps catching Liverpool off a midweek trip to Rome but overall a good effort by the guys today.

Hopefully either Spurs or Pool stumble once more.

Honestly felt like we could have played for hours and they'd have never scored.

The 1-0 scoreline felt like more, I was never really clenching or anything during the game.

Happy for Bakayoko as well, really have a good feeling about him for next season.

We definitely left it way too late, I don't think there is enough time for Liverpool/Spurs to properly bottle it, but there is a glimmer of hope since both of them are on poor form so you never know.

I think for our own sake we just need to finish strong and go into the FA Cup final with full confidence.

Is RLC gonna have a place at Chelsea, or is he getting sold this summer? Sounds like Roy is pretty desperate to keep him at Selhurst, I think he's a bit better than a team like Palace though.

Obviously our track record with youth isn’t good, but as far as I’m aware the club is still pretty big on him.

I think he will probably get a chance.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

Having watched with some interest, the thing I find most interesting about him is that his floor seems very low. His worst games aren't all that bad, and when he turns it on, it's something to behold. Had he made more than 23 appearances(due to injury), and had he played for a team other than Palace, we might be talking about him more.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

RLC has always had an incredibly high ceiling.

As a teenager, he was considered to be more talented than Alli, most of the England youth coaches echoed that sentiment as well.

He just needs a chance, he’s got the potential to be amazing.

If Poch keeps playing Kane, I can see Spurs dropping more points. It's obvious he's not fully healthy yet, just the way his first touch is completely off and he's missing passes he normally makes. It's strange to say Kane is killing our attack but until he's healthy and back in form, he's a weaklink.

Team:

Wily
Zapacosta-Azpi-Christensen-Christensen-Rudiger-Alonso
Kante-Cesc
Pedro-Morata-Willian

A bit disappointed not to see Emerson, as he hasn't really done anything to suggest he should be dropped and Alonso has played way too many games under Conte and lately has looked very tired quite often.

I'm as big a fan of Christensen as there is, but even I don't think he'll cover enough in the backline to warrant two places.

Go f-ing figure...

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

Can't even complain that much about the ref honestly.

Even if all those poor calls in Huddersfield's favor had gone our way instead, we wouldn't have capitalized on them. We never looked like scoring that second goal, probably could have played a few more hours and still ended 1-1.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

One of the most important matches in the season against a team only going for the point with basically 10 players behind the ball and we leave our best player on the bench?????

What are we saving him for?

Why do we continue to roll out Pedro and 3 at the back against sides who just sit deep against us? Once we switched to 4 at the back with our fullbacks wide we had chances for crosses every time.

We don’t deserve to be Top 4 if we can’t beat Huddersfield at home with so much riding on it.

Yeah, legitimately no reason to start him on the bench for this one.

Also, Wily was terrible.

New home kit.

Not sure it’s as bad as a lot of people are making out, but if you compare it to City’s new home kit they clearly spent a lot less time on ours.
