Thrilled for Colwill and disasi, enzo played a good game and I've been critical of him so I'm glad he played well and has been improving. Gallagher excellent as always. I will genuinely laugh If we sell him. Cole palmer excellent, what an absolutely outstanding player. And sterling, always been a fan.

Now for the negatives. Caicedo. I haven't said anything in a bit because I don't have a vendetta, but I'm still very very unimpressed. Lazy to get to the crosser for the early haaland chance, multiple turnovers in poor positions. Very, very unimpressed.

Jackson, really needs to improve and we just need a clinical number 9. Getting really frustrated. However, happy with his effort.

All in all, we need more from our 115m man. He was brought in to do a job and he's not doing that job in the slightest currently.

Caicedo needs to get better I believe he will, what is most worrying is the number of fouls he gives away needs to time his tackles better, Jackson is improving and can play in a couple of positions.

Like a lot of clubs we could do with a clinical nos 9 not sure there are many about, not convinced by Toney or the Napoli striker

Defensively as a unit better without Silva, the midfield three all work hard but maybe missing a little bit of flair,

Up front Palmer Jackson Nkuku will get us goals in the long term, most optimistic I have felt for a couple of years.

We all see games differently.

For a large part of this season I’ve said we are two nice to play against and that our midfield is not playing as a unit, with or without the ball.

City have made an art of breaking up play in midfield with tag team fouling tactics. I was pleased that we disrupted there midfield.

CG as usual worked ridiculously hard and got Rodri into a battle he wasn’t happy with but if he doesn’t reach an agreement with club I guess he will be sold.

I think that Enzo’s natural instinct is to play further up the pitch yesterday he was asked to put in a very disciplined performance and he delivered. In my opinion our worst performances this season have been when our midfield three have got all out of shape and haven’t supported one another.

We currently have three important midfielders injured. I would have loved to have seen them all get more playing time but more importantly it would have been interesting to see how Poch would have asked them play.

18 Feb 2024 08:56:47
Can't complain about that performance last night. The boys ran themselves ragged and have showed in the last couple of weeks they have a bit of spirit about them.

Not pochs biggest fan but credit he had the team tactically spot on last night. I would be questioning his decision to go to a back 5 for the last 10/ 15 min but I get it.

Thought disasi and gusto were immense. Jackson was superb, played the cf role to perfection in that set up and caused all sorts of problems.

All in all a good day at the office.

18 Feb 2024 09:56:12
We do all see games differently Tom and an understanding of the game as well. Jackson was very good last night, he held the ball up well, was strong and his touches were quick and decisive. A work in progress but getting better the more he understands the league. Moises was also very good and covered lots of ground and after his yellow card showed good discipline as well, he is often covering 2 players if you look closely and it will be interesting to see him with a proper holding midfielder next to him, again a work in progress but I can see the signs that he is going to be a very high level player in the years come. After all, Klopp wanted him for a reason and he knows a bit about football.

18 Feb 2024 10:40:11
It's the immaturity that's the problem g8. I'm sure he will come good and he better, because he has a huge ffp hit so he needs to contribute more.

He just plays like a very inexperienced player, which is no problem as long as he's progressing game by game.

18 Feb 2024 11:13:57
G8, yes it would have been good to see Ugo or maybe Lavia playing next to him. As I say when we have played poorly it’s because players have been isolated in midfield. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool play with a four in midfield as they they did at Anfield and we ended up getting consistently outnumbered.

Standard, it’s a player’s performance that is important not his fee and we have not taken a “huge ffp hit. ”.

18 Feb 2024 20:05:08
Exactly Tom, get Lavia in there next to him and we free him up to do what he does best. You can clearly see the talent he has and now he is settling in he will only get better.

18 Feb 2024 21:08:06
G8, just to clarify I’m talking about using Ugo or Lavia as another DM and freeing up Enzo.

Unfortunately because of injuries we haven’t seen if that can work.

13 Feb 2024 09:28:07
Obviously I would have preferred Jackson not to have received a booking last night.

Putting the booking aside I love the passion from ALL the players when we scored and at the end of the game. Jackson running across the whole pitch to celebrate with his teammates was priceless.

Maybe the fans can now see how much it matters to the players and we can all stop the narrative about them "not caring. ".

Please, please, please. Can one of the sports networks please sign up Big Pete as a pundit.

Such a pleasure to listen to him.

Agree0 0Disagree

13 Feb 2024 06:47:27
Totally agree Tom, nice to see somebody from the south of England on Sly Sports for a change.

12 Feb 2024 22:11:17
We have played so much better in many games this season and got beaten.

We had to be better in the second half and generally we were.

My MOM was Enzo but I guess most fans wi understandably pick Conor.

Looks like we have picked up at least two more injuries and that's a concern.

On a side issue, what a pleasure it was to listen to big Pete as a pundit. The insight he gave to a goalkeepers positioning at half time was very interesting.

Agree0 0Disagree

13 Feb 2024 06:49:14
Totally agree with your assessment Tom and don't get me started on the number of juries we have had both this year and last.

12 Feb 2024 22:02:14
Thank god for that☝️?
delighted to see fight and a bit of urgency second half.

Agree0 0Disagree

12 Feb 2024 20:53:56
Thing is We have big games coming up the final for one great opportunity to get something in FA cup but we've got to let poch go for me his idea of football is awful am dreading city game it will be a cricket score if we play like tonight with are boring pointless slow negative take a touch and pass it back football.
Put love island on this is awful.

Agree0 0Disagree

12 Feb 2024 22:08:20
we are a very strange team, have no idea what will happen next first half truly awful 2nd half dangerous everytime we went forward. Gusto is going to be some player in a year or two.

12 Feb 2024 22:27:01
Nib, hope you enjoyed “Love Island? ” Whatever that is!

12 Feb 2024 20:49:55
can life as a chelsea fan get anymore depressing
what is this rubbish this team are an embarrassment.

Agree0 0Disagree

12 Feb 2024 21:31:56
Poch, yes it can mate.

12 Feb 2024 23:51:05
hey tom turned out a good night in the end thank god.

12 Feb 2024 20:29:05
30 minutes in back to playing pointless keep ball 77% not 1 shot.

Agree0 0Disagree

12 Feb 2024 20:53:19
We are poor againt defensive set up need a few changes how are perfomance levels are so up and down is a mystery.

07 Feb 2024 22:00:59
Makes me sick we can put a performance in like that but yet got hammered by Wolves and Liverpool. If only we showed any sort of consistency there would be a lot fewer negatives.

Agree0 0Disagree

07 Feb 2024 22:07:48
Makes me happy we are such a young team we were always going to be inconsistent looked good tonight apart from City at home thought it was the best performance of the season .

Looked better without Tiago and Sterling

On a general point think most teams in the Premier League can beat each other on their day.

07 Feb 2024 22:42:43
Dan just enjoy the rare good nite we get these days.

07 Feb 2024 23:03:08
I agree seymns and though of course Dan you're right about our inconsistency which will. probably continue this was a magnificent response from the team to last weeks dreadful results. What was really pleasing was to see us playing as a team, pressing in numbers at the right times and dominating Villa almost throughout the match. Enzo and caicedo outstanding, and if in first half particularly CG not far behind and at last got on the scoresheet with precise finish. Enzos free kick world class. Back to his best.

Our midfield played as a unit and v well indeed.

Jackson for all that he is young and erratic at least usually keeps the opposition bust and took his goals well.

Badshiele still looking fragile and not back to pre injury form and perhaps aggravated it again tonight i don't know.

There must have some interesting chat and training sessiona between Poch and his coaching team and the players since Sunday. Credit to them for proving the pundits and many fsns wrong about likely result tonight. I think it helped that a trophy we could still win was at stake and perhaps thar Villa might be half focused on their match v United on Sunday. But didn't us fans really need that performance and result.

06 Feb 2024 17:04:44
Come on then all you guys if you was to replace poch tonight what would your team be.
Eds your choices as well please.
Mine 3-4-3
Pet
Axel silva BB
Gusto Enzo MC chilly
Palmer nkunku Jackson

Really don't like Sterling at the minute and I do think when Jackson has played on the wing he had done well.
I still believe in mudryke but think he might need taking out the lime light little until we get in the lead in games.

Agree0 0Disagree

06 Feb 2024 20:14:48
Petrovic
Disasi silva BB
gusto carney Caceido enzo chillwell
Nkunku
Jackson.

06 Feb 2024 21:28:00
Why would you drop our best player? Surely Palmer must play?

06 Feb 2024 23:39:11
Petrovic
Gusto Silva Colwill Chillwell
Enzo Caicedo Gallagher
Palmer Nkunku Sterling.

A team that's maybe good enough for 8th. grim viewing currently.

07 Feb 2024 10:34:30
Petrovic
Disasi BB Colwill Chilwell
Enzo Caicedo
Sterling Chukwuemeka Nkunku
Jackson

3 headers of the ball (Caicedo and Chuk are ok)
Sterling playing high and wide so Disasi can stay back
Nkunku coming inside to link with Jackson (pre-season) with Chilwell providing width, Colwill having played LB so much this season may be able to cover behind him better than BB/ Silva
If we are ahead, Gusto and Gallagher to come on for Sterling and Chukwuemeka alongside a shift into a back 3/ 5

In theory.

04 Feb 2024 22:14:56
HI Ed002 - Im assuming the Villa Game in massive, is that a must win now.

Agree0 0Disagree

05 Feb 2024 14:19:02
It was before yesterday yesterday.

07 Feb 2024 22:05:05
Every game should be a must win if you play for Chelsea.
