Disasi own goal but the Sanchez positioning was questionable.
I can only remember them having one shot on goal and they scored from it.

Mudryk had his best game and I thought Cucarella was outstanding. Gusto just keeps on improving.

Jackson will at some stage get the respect he deserves. He is looking a class signing. along with Palmer.

Caicedo solid as always and the same can be said for Chalaboa.

Another day out at Wembley beckons.

The quality of a number of our new signings is very high Tom. Money well spent. Well done Clearlake for having the vision to change it all over a few windows, we shall reap the benefit going forward and they are growing together as a team.

17 Mar 2024 19:34:14
I agree Tom think Mudryk is well suited as a 10 with freedom to play.

We have the makings for a very good team.

17 Mar 2024 21:47:34
Tell me what Jackson did I was sat in a pub with quite a few people and nobody I mean nobody said what you just did.

17 Mar 2024 23:07:32
Nib, Jackson assisted Cucurella after roasting their CB, constantly running the channels and keeping hold of the ball, linking up play, his run in behind for the red card was key to us getting a result.

Maybe you need to find a better pub, he is getting better each week IMO.

18 Mar 2024 09:34:01
Agree horans and tomb jackson is improving match by match and becaus3 he hasn't scored 45 goals this season he is deemed rubbish
His fighting attitude is great and you can tell the other players respect him.

18 Mar 2024 23:15:50
I agree that Jackson has been a breath of fresh air this season. There’s obvious fight in his character which we have certainly been lacking. He seems to be getting a handle on his needless yellow cards too which is a bonus.

17 Mar 2024 13:41:40
Always been a huge sterling supporter but goodness me he's been woeful.

Gallagher sensational. We really need to come to an agreement with his contract.

Caicedo also having a good game, cucurella impressive.

Agree0 0Disagree

17 Mar 2024 14:01:33
Poor from disasi but we move on.

Gotta say, these midnight games are getting harder and harder in australia. Funnily enough I'm considering moving home back to England early next year after leaving when I was 7 in 2006. Have been struggling mentally for quite a while so think a bit of a change could do be well :)

17 Mar 2024 14:54:38
It will be good to have you back in the UK standard. I hope your health issues can be resolved.

17 Mar 2024 15:08:49
The worry for me over Sterling was not that he had a shocker but that he pulled rank on Palmer on the Pen and the freekick

Am a keep Poch person but why Mudryk was the one to come off was strange and poor for a lad that needs his confidence boosting.

17 Mar 2024 21:12:34
Standard, sorry to hear that you have been struggling with your mental health; it’s no consolation but we all do at times. I have to disagree with you though, perhaps Gallagher needs to agree his contract with Chelsea.

17 Mar 2024 21:53:59
Standard not for me to interfere but there is a mental health page on hear if it helps any look it up.

18 Mar 2024 08:30:30
Sorry to hear about your health standard. Hope you get your head space where it needs to be. Please talk to people about your problems it helps trust me.

Also I become very defensive when you post things about chelsea and the new era. Being 5-6 for our Roman years. Its understandable that winning is all you have known.

Some of us have seen both sides. And know these things come in cycles.

18 Mar 2024 13:03:48
Thanks guys. Winning is all I've known jsfinchy but I have no problem being a bad side, I support teams in different sports when we only lose.

My only point is that it's hard to not criticise with the money we've spent. 1 billion pounds to be 11th is comical.

18 Mar 2024 14:01:49
Standard trust me it’s harder to support the team when things are going badly but the nett spend so far could well look like a good investment in seasons to come.

18 Mar 2024 23:19:03
Standard, shall we just do a swap? Me and the mrs are exploring the idea of emigrating to oz.

I hope you work things out buddy - keep your head up.

17 Mar 2024 13:40:30
Obviously Sterling having a shocker. I'm not sure why he was allowed to take that pen. Big decision now for Poch does he hook him or let him carry on. Also it's a big test for Sterling himself. He could easily go into hiding but at least her showed for our second goal with a good assist.

Jackson running past statues and generally having another excellent game.

Two big shouts. Cucarella been very solid and Mudryk consistently contributing all over the pitch .

Agree0 0Disagree

17 Mar 2024 13:56:58
I back sterling. He's still only 28 so I think he has a lot to offer cjelsea yet. He's always been at his best with a fullback overlapping hard.

I did forget Jackson. He has been very good also.

16 Mar 2024 14:15:45
Don't you just love the FA Cup?

Well played Coventry City. Well deserved victory and pleased for one of our old/ young players Kacey Palmer.

Agree0 0Disagree

17 Mar 2024 09:08:30
Brilliant match tom both teams j7st going for it
C9ventry played some lovely football.

17 Mar 2024 11:31:51
Coventry strike me as a side that would play lovely football in thee premier league have some good players would be interesting to see the career Sims has and O'Hare will be a top player.

Not wanting to count chickens but it would be good to get them in the semis.

15 Mar 2024 09:34:40
As we are going into yet another international break, I can't see the point of team rotation for the game on Sunday.

I guess Chilly could start just to keep Cucarella safe and Mudryk instead of Sterling.

I'm not sure if it's true but a bloke at the game on Monday said every time Mudryk has scored he hasn't started the next game.

Some more game time for Chuka would be nice.

Anyway, COME on MY MIGHTY BLUES.

Agree0 0Disagree

15 Mar 2024 11:37:16
I agree Tom, full strength. I would play Mudryk in the 10 with Carney left and Palmer right and Jackson up front. Moises and Enzo behind them with Malo, Disasi, Trevor and Chilly with Petrovic in goal. BUT, that means leaving out Conor?

16 Mar 2024 08:11:22
Enzo is suspended.

16 Mar 2024 08:37:25
gola, yea he is. That should mean a full game for Chuka.

16 Mar 2024 09:18:05
Thanks Gola, in which case Conor next to Moises.

Petrovic

Gusto
Disasy
Trevor
Chilly

Moises
Conor

Palmer
Mudryk
Carney

Jackson.

17 Mar 2024 09:09:11
Cant argue with that G8.

11 Mar 2024 22:00:31
I know the media are saying there only chelsea darling is mom probs coz he's a ex pep player but gusto was our best player tonight by a mile.

Agree0 0Disagree

12 Mar 2024 11:18:11
I thought Caicedo was immense. I think it goes unnoticed the amount of work he gets through cos he's a DM and not flashy/ attacking.

13 Mar 2024 07:04:41
Those two together with Palmer were the top 3 for me v Newcastle.

07 Mar 2024 13:07:17
Our injury jinx continues.

Agree0 0Disagree

02 Mar 2024 16:24:21
Save us special one. Hope we win the game and I'm going to put the phone down and watch the game. Will post some thoughts tomorrow but at this point can't see us getting anything from the game.

Agree0 0Disagree

02 Mar 2024 17:48:55
Who is the “special one? ”

If he ever came back I would have to support him but I wouldn’t be happy.

02 Mar 2024 17:51:41
Me neither Tom.

02 Mar 2024 18:05:25
We need Jose now. Tom, for clarification. the special one is Jose.

02 Mar 2024 18:09:24
Not anymore G8.

02 Mar 2024 18:12:28
G8 for clarification, if I hadn’t already known he WAS the “special one” HE would have told me all over again!

02 Mar 2024 20:45:00
Clueless best thing that ever happened to Chelsea apart from Roman you moan when people have ago at players for not doing anything and not performing which is most of them as there not good enough to wear the shirt in my opinion yet you pretend to forget about the man that gave us everything we dreamed of. I don’t get it puzzles me the man is a Chelsea legend before Terry or lampard why don’t people get that.

{Ed025's Note - because the guy is an egotistical crank Nib, got into football as a translator then was luckily employed by the oligarch Abramovich whos dirty money he was only too happy to spend, he was actually a breath of fresh air when he came to the Premiership and was witty and very popular for quite a few years, then he got found out for what he was...a self centered knob head who though he was better than everybody else, has gone from pillar to post since without much success and has been found out as a chartlatan and a con man, you are better off without him mate as he is a dinosaur who has no place in the modern game..just my view of course..

02 Mar 2024 21:47:32
Nibb, I’m sorry but I have said on many occasions I will always remember Jose fondly. For me he is a legend.

Amongst a few other things I just can’t see him as a long term solution or a manager that will take us over a PERIOD of time to any level of consequence.

I can see it as a short term fix but is that really what we want?

I think he should go to Liverpool.

03 Mar 2024 14:13:10
There is no such thing as a long term manager at Chelsea that will never happen it’s just been bedded into the wheel that makes this club run and that’s from all the success we have had in the Roman years. Before Chelsea mourinho was brilliant what he did at Porto and while at Chelsea he was better than everyone else. Very confident man or self centred knob same thing it’s just how you view him, I do think he went off the rail a little, but I think he would be able to sort Chelsea out if he had the power to run it and let boahly and his merry men butt out.

03 Mar 2024 15:14:08
Nib, how on earth could you or the club let that ego have control of a football club?

04 Mar 2024 01:41:02
The thing is I think he’s changed I also think he’s grown up and learned I don’t think it would be like that and let’s be right look what the people are doing to the team now that’s in control, are football is terrible the players look like they don’t give a shi! e half the time we’ve blown millions on average players so I don’t think he will do us any harm he maybe not last a few years but I think he would sort the mess out where in.

04 Mar 2024 08:04:33
Nibb, two different points you’re making. There is zero chance of Jose ever growing up or changing. He didn’t for his second home coming and I haven’t seen ONE single reason to suspect he has changed in anyway!

I understand fan’s wanting him back but he would offer very little to this team EXCEPT his personality. Some might say that’s what this team needs but I believe that some players might well find such a character overwhelming. We would be moaning even more if we had spent nothing and gone with the same players as three seasons ago, some of who had contracts had expired or had short terms left on them.

Your comment on buying average players can only be pointed at a few players as we haven’t seen much of a lot of them and only time will tell about some of the others. I’m sure we have signed some players who will not turn out to be what we expected but that happens at every club.

04 Mar 2024 10:34:18
"There is no such thing as a long term manager at Chelsea that will never happen it’s just been bedded into the wheel that makes this club run and that’s from all the success we have had in the Roman years. "

This is the problem, Nib

A huge amount of Chelsea fans don't seem to get it but --WE ARE NOT THE SAME CLUB AS WE WERE UNDER ROMAN-- The quicker people give into that the better. And if people don't like it, they don't HAVE to support Chelsea.

City are a different club under their current ownership than before, same with Liverpool and FSG and United and the Glazers.

Clubs change and evolve. Chelsea are currently in a time of change.

I've said this before, football is cyclical and what goes around comes around. Chelsea will come back to the top. It will take a couple of years, but it'll happen. And just because we won stuff in recent years, doesn't mean Chelsea have a divine right to win things every year. FGS, we used to give Liverpool grief for living on their history and now they're back in the heights.

Comparing this current Chelsea club, to that of the Roman era is going to achieve ZERO! They are two different identities.

And, lastly, from a personal side, I hated the hiring and firing that went on at Chelsea previously. Sacking Carlo in the tunnel at Everton was disgusting!

04 Mar 2024 13:25:53
dihanio, all good and valid points in my opinion.

06 Mar 2024 06:21:17
dihanio, like Tom, I agree with the points you make, and like you I was gutted when Carlo was sacked, but, as you state we are now under totally different ownership, and need to have a totally different perspective as fans. EPL ffp rules and Eueafa ffp rules are different, so not qualifying for Europe may actually be a blessing in disguise this season.
We are a WIP, but we need a true goalscorer, Osinhem is that man, Jackson on the left, Palmer on the right, and Lavia playing the Makalele role behind midfield allowing Enzo and Caicedo to attack rather than defend, but it relies on having Lavia, as both Enzo, and Caicedo are actually not DM's.
Ugochuku, is also injured, therefore meaning both our deep lying midfielders are not available, meaning Enzo or Caicedo has to play "out of position" in a position neither are comfortable with, get my drift?

06 Mar 2024 09:31:52
Pete, definitely get it.

We agree that we're going to have to come round to a different way of thinking than we had under Roman.

For long term, continued success, we need stability. We also need a fully fit squad.

A centre forward and, IMO, some experience in midfield would help no end. We need a bit of guile to add to the potential in the squad.

07 Mar 2024 12:30:40
Great post Kiwi, 2 players sort this side, Osminhem and Lavia back from injury. And Tom, others are entitled to their opinions. We all have different views on Jose and you shouting (using capital letters) doesn't make you right.

07 Mar 2024 13:09:52
Yes I get it’s not the Roman years that’s why am disappointed as they were good times and I will still watch Chelsea and support them. But got feeling we will be waiting another 50years.

07 Mar 2024 20:09:47
So what if we do wait 50 years Nib, that's was supporting a team means. Good times and bad. The sense of entitlement that some Chelsea fans have is ridiculous.

10 Mar 2024 10:56:31
G8, yea we do all have different opinions and that includes how we express them.

13 Mar 2024 06:34:51
Exactly dihanio and Tom. I loved Jose in his first stint, he was the right man at the right time, and for that reason he will be remembered as a Chelsea legend, BUT, following our purchase of KDB, who I felt (after several good cameos) should have been playing, and expressed that himself, was loaned and then sold by Jose to "prove a point" I lost faith in Jose, it was about him being "top dog".
Luckily for us Pep at City may have just made an identical decision (mistake) with a certain Cole Palmer.
So, for that reason, along with the fact that he still plays exactly the same style as back in his heyday, I personally would not like a Jose return, it would end badly. Whilst Poch has me tearing my hair out at times, as the season has gone on there have been (recently) improvements namely Jackson and Mudryk, so he is doing something right on the training pitch.
I think Poch will get another season after this one, then I think you'll see a Slott, Amorin or DeZerbi take over (who all work well with younger players) take the reins with another years experience under their belts.
I can only admire and respect Poch for taking on a "no win" situation!
Sorry for a long rant, but as dihano says we are not entitled to anything, we have to earn it, and we will.

02 Mar 2024 16:09:22
Back to square 1.

Agree0 0Disagree

02 Mar 2024 19:58:46
“Back to square 1” would suggest we have been at square 2.

02 Mar 2024 15:38:25
Unreal from Jackson. Goes from the worst player I've ever seen to scoring a great header lol! Good job Jackson now push on. Also great cross gusto.

Agree0 0Disagree

02 Mar 2024 15:32:06
Caicedo with 3 very poor turnovers in 30 minutes, Jackson has been woeful, and i don't need to say anymore i would rather have peter crouch at 44 up front. How he gets games over the likes of Washington i don't know. palmer unimpressive which is rare.

Gusto is fantastic, great to have chalobah back. Petrovic was a good pick-up.

Agree0 0Disagree

02 Mar 2024 17:47:18
Caicedo was our second best player in my opinion today.

02 Mar 2024 22:47:50
He is absolutely fantastic off ball Tom. On the ball I'm concerned but that may be a coaching issue.

02 Mar 2024 23:07:56
Maka in my opinion couldn’t pass for toffee but that wasn’t his job.
He is young, so im sure he will improve naturally and with coaching.

04 Mar 2024 10:43:09
Standard, I think Caicedo on the ball will improve when the team improves. To me, it seems like there's a lack of movement around him to make those "easy" passes.

We all agree, we're crying out for a spine of experience to come in during the summer. That'll help too.
