The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 3]

[BadBull]

It's the second game of the season.

Making predictions now is a folly.

[Ascayman]

You chaps haven't had much luck in your first few games have you! better team lost last night.

[GTO-3R]

Is Emerson going to be your main left back this season?

Yes, quicker and a better defender than Alonso. Admittedly did get caught upfield a few times last night!

Competed well last night I thought and could have won it. Going to be an up and down season I suspect, but it's already a better watch than Sarri-ball

Kante is brilliant, God I miss him.

I know he's not in the most glamorous position on the field, but if Pogba and the like are £100m footballers, I just don't understand why we aren't fighting off bids of £150m from Madrid, PSG or Citeh? I think we only paid £32m for him which was a steal. Why is he not more in demand by the worlds biggest clubs?

I agree with this totally.

Because, Twig, we live in a world of glitz, chintz and glamour. Where skillz on the ball and Instagram likes are revered more than hard graft and determination.

This modern generation don't appreciate what Kante does because basic hard work, discipline and effort does not produce entertaining you tube clips.

It was and it will never happen again. That’s why United paid £80m+ for Maguire
I’m kinda surprised he’s still at Chelsea tbh. Literally the best player in the world in that position.

How many defensive midfielders are on the cover of FIFA Xbox games?

Especially short not especially handsome and low profile ones.

You bought a great player who seems very quiet and modest, be grateful !

Classing Kante as just a defensive midfielder is an insult to his talent, he completed 9 successful dribbles on Wed, he has a lot more to his game than breaking up play.

And sometimes we even play him in that position.

Nah, he's a flash git. He could have bought any Mini, but oh no, he had to have the Cooper S.

You're surprised he's at one of the World's biggest clubs?

and let's not forget Liverpool had about 2 days extra rest/prep for this game with their game being Friday night and our being the late KO on Sunday. Fitness levels look good.

No, I’m surprised he’s not at one of the Worlds biggest clubs.
You’re bigger than Leicester but you’re still a feeder club to someone...
