I love Willian but that was bs. He always wants to be the hero, not the first time he’s passed up a chance at an easy assist to go for a glory goal. Morays probably could have had 2 or 3 goals that game but everyone kept ignoring him, except for Hazard who probably should have lol

They really need to see about loaning him back to Leicester.

Just tell Hazard not to do that on Saturday and we're cool. Kthx

Are we really not going to let Mount and Tomori play against us in the league cup?

This should have been the conversation:

Frank: “Hel—“

Chelsea: “Yes”

Frank: “You didn’t even hear my question”

Chelsea: “It’s a yes”

Frank: “Uhh, ok then I gues—“

Chelsea: “Yes”

Frank: “I wasn’t going to ask a second question actually”

Chelsea: “that one’s there just in case”

Yeah it would be nice to see those guys vs some more quality competition.




Very conflicted about the Liverpool result. On one hand I'm pissed that we surrendered a late goal that prevented us all three points but on the other hand we were probably lucky to only concede one. That Eden 1v1 breakaway he missed which would have put us up 2-0 would have sealed it, especially considering Klopp had an eye towards their midweek CL game.

I keep going back to this in my head but we really should have splashed the cash for Higuain as a 1-2 year rental. Giroud and Morata are simply not good enough. We should expect at least 20 goals a year in the league from our main ST and neither one is capable of that. Without a real goal threat in the midfield (Ross just has too many errors in his game) the burden is once again gonna fall on Eden with Pedro and Willian picking up the pieces. Eden should get us 20-30, Pedro 10-15, and Willian ~15 but in order to really challenge (which I believe we can if we prioritize the league) we need a better #9.

Anyway, really hoping we get to see CHOI on Thursday. Pedro might still be banged up, Willian needs a rest so that should leave him and Moses as our starting wingers.

I thought we were doing a perfectly fine job closing the game out, definitely felt like a loss just because of how late in the game Sturridge’s goal was.

I agree on Higuain, but I was always in favor of that move. It really needed to be either him or Michy. Even with the power of hindsight, Sarri’s system needs a high quality finisher as the spearhead, we really should have seen this coming. Michy’s shortcomings don’t really matter, because we are constantly creating chances and really just need somebody who will kick the ball into the net.

Best case scenario is that Michy has a good loan at Valencia and we give him a chance next season, or we throw out big money for someone like Icardi.

Alternatively, we could just give Hudson game time and watch him turn into an absolute beast.

It was a weird one because both sets of supporters will think they should have won but are pretty OK with the point. 2 cleared off the line and the Shaqiri miss - which I actually thought was a harder finish than the sitter the announcer made it out to be. He was running full speed, that ball was travelling and bounced at an awkward point for it to be a tap-in.

y'all got me riding this CHO hype train, and he can't even make the bench vs Vidi

At least RLC is starting
