I can see the excellent business we have done in the last two windows and the profit we have made at the same time has rattled some opposition fans who are now throwing the common phrases which are ‘ you bought your way to success’ and ‘ you are not liked outside your club’ all of a sudden we are the most hated team, because our team is competitive once again. I remember who in the summer of 2019 everyone was throwing compliments at us. now the same people who were complimenting us have now retreated to their usual accusatory habit.
To be honest, I don’t care who likes Chelsea and who doesn’t. As long as our club is heading in the right direction and is doing what it does best, I will be happy to take all the hate in this world. After all, if you are not hated, you are not doing well. In the last two seasons, Chelsea has assembled a very competitive squad, and also recruited one of the best bright coaches in Europe in Tuchel, and now even some pundits are sending mixed and confusing messages. Some teams will forever be in our shadows though.

The only fans who can complain about Chelsea buying their way to the top are United, Liverpool and Arsenal. the rest were below Chelsea by the time Roman bought. We don’t care who likes us as long as we are winning trophies that is irrelevant.

Perhaps the most shocking aspect of this transfer window is PSG rejecting a Β£189m for a player who is out of contract next summer. what is more intriguing is that the player has informed PSG that he is not prepared to sign a new deal. that is a decision they will regret in 12 months time. I wonder who advises them? seeing this kind of mess makes me appreciate the good work that Marina is doing at Chelsea.

Lucky,
Sometimes you can’t judge a player for not doing well at a club he has been loaned to. Maybe if Sarr is given a chance and surrounded by those qualities in our squad, he will do well for me. and he is left-footed which is another bonus. he could support Alonso like Azpi supports Reece James when he is out of position. I think Saul is an upgrade to Kovacic because he brings goals from midfield. and that is what you need to win the league. and his experience of being in two title-winning teams will be invaluable. I still think he is more important than a little know Kunde.

Think currently, the Saul deal is more important than the Kunde deal, I feel we are a little bit lighter in midfield. if we got both it’s fine, but if I have to sacrifice one, I would sacrifice Kunde because we have so many options, Silva, Christensen, Rudiger, Chalobah, Reece James, and Azpi can all play there. and we still have Sarr at the club. but to win the league, you need goal scoring and experienced midfielders. and with Kante having fitness issues, I think getting Saul makes sense.

Amazingly, the week ended with both North London teams being on both ends of the table who would have predicted that? hopefully, that won’t be the case come May

I won’t rule out the deal being Β£29.8m, the way Chelsea negotiated in this deal suggested we were demanding a bigger fee for Zouma. and I trust Marina to pull off this miracle deal if she convinced Real Madrid to include clauses that state if they qualify for the CL in Hazard’s deal, then convinced Athletico to pay Β£53m for a player whom the manager publicly said was not in his plans and who refused to train and return to the club. trust this lady will work her magic.

I’m still bitter about the red card, but i’m wondering how we have not scored 2 goals at least when the game were 11v11. We had several chances to score the second goal that wouls have taken the steam out of the game. I was on record saying that we should go there to win, and credit to Tuchel he went there with the intention to win, but incompetent referee has ruined his plans.
There are several heroes today, but the ones that standout for me was Christensen and Rudiger, two players who were destined to leave before Tuchel has arrived. What a difference coaching methods do for players, also Alonso we excellent Chilwell has a fight in his hands to win back his place. Delighted to see Silva come on and calm the nerves, i was worried our players would lose their head. And mr. reliable Azpi is always 10/10. And not to mention the true hero of the night big Mendy.
Happy for Havertz that he is now settling in well after the Covid case and injury plus form problems, he seems to be taking the manttle now. But l’m worried for Mount as the lad has played more games and had little rest. We have 3 weeks to nurse Kante before the trip to Spurs.

Despite that, I’m surprised Chelsea got a point! and playing with 10 men for half of the match, and our opponents looking for further sending off.

When Liverpool got the decision in their favour, the ref is fair. when they don’t the ref is bonkers. i rest my case this is my last post in this subject.

I knew the way Klopp was berating the Ref suggested he was orchestrating something. and we have Anthony Tylor sending off a Chelsea player in a crucial match for how much I don’t know but coincence?

13. Mendy
2. Rudiger
3. Alonso
4. Christensen
5. Jorginho
7. Kante
9. Lukaku
19. Mount
24. James
29. Havertz
28. AzpilicuetaThat is the line up saw on the Chelsea page. not sure how accurate it is. but it seems that Havertz is trusted more than Werner. as for the rest, there is no contest.

Let us hope we tie him immediately Nine, he has been improving as a defender under Tuchel. and he is entering his prime now. I think Tuchel will be to Christensen what Mourinho was to Terry when he first arrived at Chelsea. I believe Tuchel will have a similar impact on Christensen to the one that Mourinho had on Terry.

I think Liverpool will top their group without any problem. Athletico are not the team were in the years gone by. and Milan is not the force they once were. so if I was a Liverpool fan I would be delighted with the draw. of the four English teams, United got the best draw, and City got the toughest, followed by I don’t know who to pick between Chelsea and Liverpool.

Sounds awesome song Nine. what a rollercoaster 12 months it had been for both Jorginho and Tuchel. this time last year, many people including myself have been giving Jorginho the stick and have written him off. boy! he has proven us wrong and I wouldn’t trade him another midfielder now. thanks to Tuchel, his game has taken a notch higher. and it’s not him alone, Mount seems to have also developed his game under Tuchel, Reece James has also improved his overall game, Kante has also taken a notch higher, Havertz is also on the right track, although he is not yet there. Rudiger is among in that group, Christensen and even Kovacic has improved his ball retention. and he has revived Alonso and Azpi, Chilwell even said Tuchel has challenged him and improved him. the only two players who I felt haven’t improved under him are Pulisic and Werner. and in Pulisic case, injuries have played a part.

Ngolo Kante and Eduard Mendy have also won the Uefa best midfielder and best keeper. it has been a clean swoop for Chelsea bar the defender. and I have no complaints about the winner.

By all accounts if Pulisic was fit, he would have started this game because of his technique and speed, but unfortunately Covid19 has robbed him off this opportunity. He is also a goal threat. Also Mount will also start. That makes a toss up between Havertz and Werner. I would go for Werner because of his speed.

I hate facing Liverpool, they are always a difficult team to play against. They play intense game, they never give you time to organise. This is where Tuchel’s credentials will be tested. The two coaches are veey good coaches, both are winners. I think it will be a very tense match. Any team can win, but Liverpool has a slight advantage by virtue of playing at home with the fan base behind them. But Tuchel will have his plan. If Kante and Jorginho are fit, then we will fine in midfield. But I hope we don’t under estimate the dangers that the Liverpool wingers and fullbacks pose and the damage they could do if we give them space to operate.

That is likely true mate. I remember he was the one who priced Chelsea out of the Lukaku deal in 2017. because there were reports that Chelsea had even reached an agreement with the striker, but Mino Raiola wanted a Β£20m agentβs fee which Chelsea refused to agree. and that is one of the reasons why Chelsea never deals with Mino Raiola. I was reading that Lukaku has changed agents and that was why the deal has been concluded without any problem.
