Ed002, I have already Ed001 this question and I would like to get your opinion on it.

Which of our loan players do you personally rate? And can any of them potentially make it at Chelsea in your opinion?

{Ed002's Note - I am not really the one to ask but Ola Aina and Jake Clark-Salter are both well thought of but will probably leave. Reece James, Fikayo Tomori and Dujon Sterling may well have a future at the club but obviously many others don't. Mario Pasalic is tehhe pick of those.}

Thanks for sharing, Ed.

Anything on Tammy, Mount and Zouma?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No.}

01 Mar 2019 09:41:41
Pasalic would be your pick to make it at Chelsea, Ed?

Surprising a bit if true.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I didn't say that.}

Many others don't and Pasalic is the pick of those that probably won't have a future here.

Ah of course, I thought as much :) would've been curious in any case.

We face Fulham at the weekend and now they have Parker as interim, it's a funny one playing a team who's manager has just been sacked. Players have something to prove and all want to impress.

Fair play to the ref in charge of our game yesterday. He did a terrific job. It could have been one of those games where play could have been stopped every 5 mins in the first 30 mins when we were dominating and it could have ruined the flow of our football. He kept it flowing nice.

I do think Kane should have seen a yellow for moving his head towards Azpi. Otherwise it was a good performance from the ref.

Maybe a yellow but not a red card.

A question for you guys out there. During the Carabao Final, an excellent through-ball left Eden Hazard one-on-one with the City keeper, a situation which usually ends up with the ball in the back of the net. Unfortunately, as we are all aware, the idiot linesman raised his flag for offside (which he is not supposed to do when VAR is in operation) . Had play continued, we should have gone 1-0 up and could have 'done a Tottenham' on City and held them off for a deserved victory and meaning the whole Kepa saga would have been avoided. My question is this: Even though the idiot with the flag signalled for offside, should not the ref have ignored this until the play had ended and then referred to VAR for the offside decision?

{Ed002's Note - Yes he should.}

Many thanks, Ed002.

As Sarri mentioned before it took some time getting used to in SerieA aswell so it will take some time in the EPl also. Just gutted but with time i think it will all come good. Might slow down the pace a bit but if the ref does what he is suppose to then i think the game could still flow good. In rugby they have mastered the TV replay and it works perfect. I think with time it will all work out.

I think seeing the flag would’ve put hazard off too, I don’t quite remember but he definitely didn’t run through and finish the chance, he just stopped.

Agree0 Disagree0

Funny - if it wasn't for Kepa's antics, I think the press would have made a lot more of the two officials potentially costing The Blues the final.

Sarri said the players asked not to press so high as they were tired, hopefully Sarri goes with that. We don't need to press so high only when in final 3rd otherwise not as solid defensively . We've beat spurs arsenal city draw to united and Liveroool got last min wonder goal for another draw, it's the teams who are more than happy to have 9 behind the ball we need s plan for, bring on Fulham.

Great win and performance yesterday. Took the game to Spurs in a measured way. Well done to the whole team and Sarri for delivering two great back to back performances especially last night which come after 130mins win Man City. 1 thing for sure, Sarri hasn't lost the dressing room. The players are playing for him albeit many struggling to adapt which is understand given our defensive approach for many years.

Last time we lost to Spurs we started an awful rot, hopefully this win reverses the situation and we go on a great run and Spurs go on a rot.

Hey guys. I was unable to see the game Yesterday - do you think I should see it later today? Don't usually see games that've been played, but wouldn't want to miss out if we were great!
Also, I heard that Alonso was great? Is there eight days this week aswell?

Emil, just watch it for the oh. Plus the Pedro goal and tackle.

How on earth do some people rate the Spurs keeper? He is truly awful.

That’s meant to be og not oh Emil. It is so funny, you may well wet yourself laughing! So be careful.

Just got home and I would like to make a few points.

1) Our fans tonight were fantastic and although the Spurs fans constantly chanted the "Y" word (apparently they are allowed) I didn't hear our fans respond at any stage of the match.

2) Other than goal kicks we are not pressing until teams move towards the halfway line. It is giving us a far more solid look in midfield. Well done Sarri for the tactical change.

3) The players have now put in back to back performances that deserve praise. I will not go overboard with the plaudits as we are Chelsea so will probably slip up against Fulham.

4) I'm sure Pedro will deservedly get the MOM, for me it was Kante again. The bloke is different gravy!

Come on my MIGHTY BLUES.

Nice mix up compared to the last month, glad you got to enjoy it Tom!

Agree1 Disagree0

28 Feb 2019 06:02:10
I thought Kovacic as well Tom was class he covered a lot of ground and was pressing really well.

Agree0 Disagree0

28 Feb 2019 07:48:12
Well said Tom. I think Pedro is a good shout for the MOTM, however David Luiz was immense. When Luiz has his head on on a job then he is a world beater. Kante, Kovacic, Rudiger and Azpi were all good. Fair play to Alonso did a job.

Agree0 Disagree0

Matt 24. I never really enjoy our games against Spurs for some strange reason!

There were fans around me saying beating Spurs is more important than last weekends final. Us fans, are a strange lot.

We have come out of a busy February.
Top four will be a great spectacle and we have a chance.
Through in the Europa League - Malmo looked a decent team - should be looking to Azerbaijan for the final!
The last two performances have looked solid and this month as a whole gives hope to Sarri and his team

Fantastic result tonight. Sarri is building! Players are tuning in, feels great to see the players fighting like warriors. Could see how much it meant to the players tonight to win. Back within touching distance of top 4 and closing the gap on Spurs.

Let's keep the momentum up and can we all just get on board with Sarri now? He's going to stay and I'm sure his football will be in full swing soon.

Fans were amazing tonight too!

KTBFFH.

Sarri too is beginning to key in too, not just the players too- are keying in.

Thought we played very well overall today, looked solid at the back and a bit more dangerous going forward. Caballero did well and I’d happily see him have a run of games now especially as it seems the Kepa debacle was a case of him refusing to come off rather than a misunderstanding over him being injured.
