The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 3]

A shambles for their 2nd goal. Koulibaly lost the plot and Kepa should have done better.

[CT05 Nose Cone]

Was a bit worried the out of his depth mid-table manager had vanished. Luckily that only lasted 2 games, top work parking the bus to protect a 1 goal lead against a team in the relegation zone though.

I thought we looked to be playing some good stuff but lacked the end product of a focal striker. Gutted that they got stung by a sucker punch which I knew was coming. Other than the result, we looked like we were improving.

Agreed - we’ll get there in the end. The way I see it is we have 6 untouchables and we just need to find the best other 5 for a really decent team.

James
Chilwell
Silva
Kovacic
Enzo
Felix

I’d like to see more of Mudryk and suspect Potter’s just slowly bedding him in. Next year we’ll have Nkunku plus all this year’s signings will be up to speed with the EPL.

Think I’d give up on RLC as he looks too lazy plus Kante as we may as well profit from him (we can more than make up for his loss)

Even assuming we stump up what Atletico will want for a permanent deal, what would motivate Felix to stay with no European football (even of the Thursday night variety) on offer?

Playing any sort off football if the manager stays at Athletico, that’s why he left in the 1st place

[fourstardan]

I quite like Felix, he has some good defensive ball skill learnt by the sthousery before but I think he needs to work the final third better.

Great win for the ladies away at Lyon. One foot in the semi. Suspect the men might not be joining them there.

[fourstardan]

He aint coming back ao hopefully that means everyone will stfu about him

You won't lose the home leg 2-5, though

Do own goals count?

[fourstardan]

I will bet on us beating RM should be good odds.

Wow, high drama last night in the 2nd leg.

After 90 mins, we were 0-1 down so 1-1 on aggregate. Extra time and they score on 110 mins, so 1-2 down on agg(away goals don't count). 8 mins of injury time at the end of extra time, and we get a pen in the 127th min, score, so it ends 1-2, 2-2 on agg.

Pen shootout which we win 4-3.

Barca in the semi. Arsenal v Wolfsburg in the other semi.

No, I didn't. Listened to extra time on 5 Live whilst doing something else.

I'm not sexist but cannot get any ounce of interest in Women's football.

I think a lot of this reasons is because they use the Club names invented for men.

Yeah, righto

[TwigtheWonderkid]

If a team is playing in a Chelsea kit and calling themselves Chelsea, I'll support them. I don't care if it's men, women, geriatrics playing walking football, 11 blind guys playing with a bell in the ball, or 2 kids I don't know playing Subbuteo.
