    Fun crazy game though. I'd rather go down swinging like that than shell up and get beat anyway.

    Didn't need to go down swinging though if argentines werent such dirty cunts. Romero is a proper, proper bellend.
    The way they set up was mental.

    Disrespectful in a way they just thought these lot might literally struggle to score against the goalie alone.

    At one point if Robert Sanchez just ran straight from nets he would have been clean through if someone just chipped it over the top at the right time.

    Despite this Jackson got caught offside so many times in the end they had to let Sterling, Conor, and Cucurella spring the trap for him so he could just run to the 6 yard box to miss a tap in or whatever it is he done for most of that 2nd half.

    If Son scored that equaliser and i'd be campaigning to have my own club dissolved today.

    I doubt another game will happen where the bloke who scored a hatty is clearly the worst player on the pitch.

    Spurs will be gutted about the injuries but other than that they somehow seemed like the winners last night. Chelsea just seem inept.

    There is an alternate time line where Son is onside and Chelsea get battered 6 nil

      I let myself get carried away before that Son goal was ruled offside and I never let myself get carried away lol but that first 10 mins we looked sensational.

      That high line was insane. I get nervous with a high line with 11 on the pitch let alone 9. If Sterling, Jackson and Mudryk had any football intelligence it'd have been a cricket score. How they kept getting offside must have been driving you crazy, just stay behind the halfway line and you've erased the offside trap. City, Woolwich and Liverpool would have dealt with that so easily

      I think your midfield is top though. Youre being overly harsh on this team imo. Miles better than last year and it was always gonna be a slow rebuild.

        Also Vicario is an absolute animal. Never heard of before we got him but he looks amazing. Looked like prime Neuer last night. Only ?8m looks like a steal

          I'm not sure really.

          I like Badiashille and Palmer and Caicedo will be good. Maybe James but im not counting him as a Chelsea player unless he plays 10 games in a row. He's semi retired at 23.

          The other players? I have some sort of problem with absolutely all of them.

          I dunno I am spoilt but to me that's a midtable team.

          I still wouldn't stick too long with this manager or any other until there is some sort of bump up the league.

            Caicedo has actually been a beast, but his job is defensive mid-fielder so what he does doesn't show up on the scoresheet. Enzo is still a kid, but he has the potential to be a top-notch box to box. Jackson is a natural 10, a playmaker; but they have him playing the 9 which he just isn't suited for and doesn't have the killer instinct to play. The 9 was supposed to be Nkunku and he's supposed to be a legit goal scorer, but we haven't seen him in the Royal Blue yet. Who thought is was a good idea to go into the season with only one legit 9? I don't mentally waste time mentally with Reece James: He pulls a hammy reaching for his cell phone. Transfer him while someone is still ****** enough to gamble on his injuries. Overall, this team got a LOT younger in a hurry. Pochettino is supposed to be at his best developing and molding talent so if anyone can take a team of raw kids and making them into a contender it's him. Assuming he gets the time without fans demanding instant success and demanding his head. Chelsea fans are spoiled by the team's success since the mid-aughts, and they're used to big-name, short-term quick-fix band-aids. Developing kids ain't ***y to fans used to glittery toys.

              A revolving door at manager won't make this team a winner. In fact, it's a great way to ruin the players you have because it teaches them they don't have to listen to the manager because he's going to be gone in a couple of months. A good manager can make good players better, but no manager can make chicken salad if all he has is chickensh*t to work with.

                It is difficult but my view is that you have to harness some sort of spike in form.

                No Chelsea fan is gonna accept where they are currently nor should they really.

                We've been midtable for the grand total of a year and already id rather either get better or conversely get much worse.

                I'd rather Chelsea got relegated than finish 10th. So with that said all our games take on a kind of who gives a f.uck quality. Difficult situation for a manager to be in. But certainly ot a position of strength.

                Poch is 2 defeats on the spin away from the sack from here until the end of the season imo.

                  The only players I look at in the Chelsea squad and think they are actually something are Sterling and Enzo.

                  Sterling is a given, put him in Bayern, he scores. Put him in Real, he scores. Put him in Milan, he scores. Put him in PSG, he scores. He already was scoring for Man City. He's proven, he is a player. Just not for Chelsea. Why? He's a cherry on top, not the cake.. and Cheese don't even have a cake to put the cherry on top.

                  Enzo is actually good, wrong club, wrong time that... plus he is probably moving towards the mean now. If he joined Liverpool,I am 96.7% sure it is a different look from him.

                  Caiceido...We have bought 3 Brighton additions besides him... none of them are good. Caicedo doesn't exist to me.

                  The mind blowing thing to me is the one player that actually looks good is a Man City product.

                  But what I really wonder is, does he look good because the team is not good (see: Willian) or does he actually have a vaulted ceiling? Because there's no way someone can point at him and tell me he's better than Mount or Havertz. I'd add Pulisic too but he'd have got injured anyway, so its irrelevant.

                      I don't think Enzo is that good either or at least not suited to the league. Midfielder? Pass, tackle, run and shoot.

                      He does one of those. Even now he actually has 2 players to run for him. He hasn't got any better.

                      Caicedo? Maybe does 3. Conor does 2.

                      At some point these guys have look at themselves.

                      Chelsea have won 1 game in 12 at home. Soon to be 1 in 13. It is down to players like Enzo. He doesn't do anything. Play quicker, get in the box, run run run. Nothing he does helps Chelsea win.

                      Sterling is the ultimate example of a player with a point - he does at least 3 extremely s.hit things in every game. The Spurs kid never gets sent off if Sterling didn't botch a simple 5 yard pass to Palmer. He got caught offside 3 or 4 times and he ran into Spurs players and weakly gave it away several times.....but he finally broke the trap and put it on a plate for Jackson. Albeit I dunno if there is a chance you could say Jackson definitely scores. But ultimately Sterling one us that game in a way.

                      I look at Enzo and see someone who has a bad engine he was getting caught by Spurs on the ball so much. He doesnt want to run so he doesnt want to risk the ball as much as we need him to.

                      Palmer is better than him imo. Even in Enzo's position.

                      I want to be proved wrong desperately but Enzo is not even as good as Jorginho for me. He needs to play like he's 22 not 35. I've been really disappointed in him. I really think he needs to work harder on his physical fitness. He can do that. That is within his gift.
