Do they still keep English teams separate from each other in the last 16 or have I imagined that rule?

8 goals conceded in 4 games for Chelsea.
In the other 20 games they've played this season they conceded 8 goals.

Defense starting to crack a bit?

Football gods annoyed at the unnecessary 4-0 they handed us made their (momentarily, mind) demise. Rest assured we will still get the thoughest draw from the 2nd placed pot, though.

Chelsea screwing over one of Bayern, Real or Ajax there, there's only one other non English group winner

Our best mode of defence is the way we control games. If we can't do that, then every game is a crap shoot. Look at the lineup against Watford and especially today. Those teams would barely finish top 6.

I won't cuss our backline today if this is what the "supposedly" the best defence in England looks like.

Most English teams' performances have had wild swings this season - from absolutely brilliant to utter dross in the mere matter of a few weeks. Chelsea look an altogether different team with the Kante-Jorginho axis flanked by forward-running James and Chilwell.

People praised our depth but the drop off in certain positions from the starters to the backups is just wild. Yes we can interchange our front line with little drop off but the midfield, wingbacks, the difference is just too big.

Savage can barely contain his excitement seeing his son on the bench, it's quite sweet actually.

Tolisso has stood out with really shit passing so far. Musiala with a huge wasted chance.

2-0! Lucky break off the defender knocking it back there and a good finish.
Atmosphere sounds really good. I’d love 2 Portuguese teams in the last 16

If the referee gets in the way of a goal scoring opportunity you should be able to drop him.

So Xavi's strategy since he arrived is officially "give the ball to dembele, rush towards the box and hope something happens".

Great assist by Lewy, but just not good enough for Ballon d'or...
