So far so good, we are 1-0 up, but we cannot rest. Cincentration will be veey importamt. I don’t like Jackson’s link up play tonight, he seems to be losing a lot of duels. Our defence is looking composed, and that uas to do wifh our relentless pressinv. We should go and get thesecons game. Bring Lavia on at some point to tighten the midfield. Also bring Nkunku early.

Incredible how eveey Chelsea fan is asked to admit that Chelssa is in fhe title race, but to their credit every one says no we are not in it. This has become the million dollar question after our recent game against spurs. But are we in it? No, why because i see our case as more like finding ourselves in the right place at the right time.

We have too much limitations as of now to be considered a real title challengers. Our goal keeping situation is still dire, our defense needs Van Dijk or Saliba like leader, unless we sort these two key areas, we cannot be considered serious title challengers.

The number of points that Allison and Raya saves win for their teams is the same as the number of points ww lose due to Sanchez errors, similarly ghw points won by VVD and Saliba defending or scoring is inceridible. That is why Maresca and every Chelsea fan is saying we are not in the title race now.

Tough game for Liverpool, but not impossible. They can still win it no matter how.

Chelsea getting Sancho for £25m was an absolute steal, and getting it from a top 4 rival is insane. What was United thinking when they decided to let Sancho join Chelsea, with all those other talented players around him, he had a good chance of rediscovering his best form. This year we have some exciting young English players, like Palmer, Madueke and Sancho. Complemented by the flops, Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia, plus the biggest flop, Jackson.

That was a routine win. We gave the an early xmas present in the first 15 minutes. I’m concerned about that.

This game is evenly poised, that is the best Spurs line up. Wether they have the spirit to fight is another matter.

Well, i can’t see anyone catching Liverpool on current form. This title is Liveepool’s title to lose. I can’t see them losing unless there is a miracle. They have good leaders who have done it before.

Complacency could be our greatest downfall. Currently, we sit second in the league on goal difference, trailing Liverpool by seven points after 14 matches. Last season at this point, we were in tenth place. If this disparity starts to affect the players’ mindset, we may struggle. However, if we bring the same motivation and determination we showed against Aston Villa and Southampton, we have a strong chance of success.

Despite their recent struggles, Spurs remain a formidable opponent with several talented players who can pose a serious threat. The likes of Johnson, Kulusevski, Son, Madison, and Solanke are particularly dangerous, and I trust that Maresca won’t underestimate them. Our defense is not one of the best in the world; it always has mistakes in it. For this reason, I would prefer to see a partnership of Caicedo and Lavia, with Palmer positioned ahead of them. I would choose Madueke and Neto on the wings, Gusto and Cucurella as fullbacks, and Colwill and Tosin as center-backs, though I suspect Badiashile will get the nod.

Well, Liverpool played well; you don’t score 3 goals away to Newcastle if you are not playing well. Use your title competitors as a benchmark; how have they fared when they went to St. James Park? City drawn, Arsenal lost. Liverpool have a world-class player in Salah and a world-class defender in VVD, and that will be in their favour. The Leaders in this Liverpool team have done it and know how to win, while the City team is aging and the Arsenal team has yet won anything. If I were a Liverpool fan, I would be optimistic about the future. It’s now or never for Liverpool.

It has been a good night for Chelsea; we have scored 5 goals, again another goal for Palmer; also, Sancho scored his first goal for the club; Nkunku scored; and Madueke scored. I can’t complain. we are on the right track to challenge in the top 4. Talk of us being in the title race is rubbish. It’s Liverpool’s title to lose. Despite their draw, it was a good point for them. It’s always very tough to play Newcastle away. They have a 7-point lead. City also drawn there; Arsenal lost. So it’s not the end of the world to draw at St. James Park. If I were a Liverpool fan, I would be happy with this point.

It’s still very early to talk, yes, but as things stand, it’s Liverpool’s title to lose, and I can’t see them losing unless they have a catastrophic collapse. As long as they keep Salah and VVD, they will be fine.

More of the same in the second half, please. Our flops are stepping this season. That is two in two for Fernandez, and for Jackson, that is eight in 13 games. Although Palmer is not at his best, collecting an assist is good. We are no longer a Palmer-reliant team, and credit goes to where it’s due; Maresca is done well.

It was a good win for Chelsea, should have been a bigger scoreline, but i would take the 3 points, that flop was also man of the match today and all of a sudden pundits are signing his praises after slaughtering him in the last few weeks. I think he deserves his flowers today. Nice to have all of these options. Fofana is worrying me every time we play. He is an accident waiting to happen. He was lucky today, on another day, that penalty would have been given.

Jackson seems to be on the right path now. 7 goals and 3 assists in 12 PL games is not bad for a flop. And at 23 he will get better and better. I’m concerned that teams are targeting Palmer to take him out of the game, and they are resorting to getting him injured. It happened at United, and it happened today, and worryingly, officials don’t seem to take any action.

It was a good point for Chelsea, given that we are still on the path to recovery. What makes it even better is that we fell behind once again and came back instantly. That shows what we lacked in defence we made up for in attack. with almost a third of the league gone, we are sitting third albiet on goal difference, considering we were 14th at this stage last season, which shows tremendous improvement. So far we have played, Liverpool, Newcastle, United, and Arsenal on the trot, and we only lost to Liverpool. I don’t feel shame losing to the league leaders.

We have another International break, and in a good position, fingers are crossed we don’t get injuries from some key players like Palmer, Caidcedo, and Colwill. As for the rest, we can manage them. our competitors except Newcastle and United have dropped points.

I didn’t say we have injuries, you need to read what i posted and fully understand. Our regular back four includes 3 players who were injured a portion of last season. Fofana didn’t play since 2022/23 season, Reece was similar, and Colwill also missed close to 4 months of last season. That doesn’t mean i’m making an excuse. Also you can’t compare City to Chelsea, City had a manager who has been there for 8 years, have a settled team. Whereas Chelsea was in crisis just recently in the first game of the season, but that shows how people art carried away every time we have 1 or 2 results.

Last season, many people who have said Chelsea would have a good result if they avoid defeat. And the spending? Players must settle and adjust to their surroundings, Caicedo is showing that, Lavia is overcoming his injuries, Cucurella has shown why we signed him, Fofana is the on the bath to recovery. The only player we will have massive loss is Fernanadez. If the coach can achieve top 4 in his first year, then we will be fine, and getting keeper who is an upgrade to Sanchez will help push us further up the table. Anyway tgis time last season, Chelsea was written off and now people are getting carried away. Keep calm, we are not yet there, but we are on the right path.

Not losing Arsenal will be a good result considering 80% of our current back four/five were injured most last season, and some didn’t even play last season. therefore, I would be happy to take the 3 points or if not 1 point is good, considering we played Pool, Newcastle, United and Arsenal in the last 4 league games.

We will have a run of much easier fixtures after the break, but so far, so good for us. I hope we avoid injuries, and if we can’t avoid them, not on the scale we had last season. Anyway, we will give the Gunners a run for their money on Sunday.

The problem with Chilwel is that he is a traditional fullback who goes up and down in on the wing. But football has evolved in the last 20 years. The emergence of Guardiola has turned that its head. These days fullbacks are expected to go into midfield had distribute, something that Chilwel can’t do, but Cucurela has done it time and time.
