They are the team to beat.
What a footballer Jorginho is.
Fortunately they have Lukaku.

Marina Granovskaia - obviously I'm a bit biased but I genuinely think she is one of the biggest assets at any club in world football.Whoever handles their outgoing transfers is nothing short of a genius quite frankly

I agree, your transfer strategy really works for you and she is a huge asset. I wish we were able to offload our bloat even half as efficiently.Marina Granovskaia - obviously I'm a bit biased but I genuinely think she is one of the biggest assets at any club in world football.
Oh I now they’re capable (maybe) but Tuchel has to bring it out of them. I dont think a back 5 and 2 defensive midfielders feed the front 3 enough for it to happen but we will see.Both are more than capable of churning in a very good output for Chelsea. If we were to go by last season, you'd think Martial was never capable of 10+ goals let alone 20.
I was worried first half. With a full XI I thought Chelsea would sneak another goal in the second half. The red card was a huge relief not only for the goal but the hope they were never winning the game after that point.Thought that first half showing was more impressive and they looked as a more threatening side.
But yeah, they did react very well in the 2nd after dodgy first 15 minutes.
@GifLord penalty incident with slows mo?
Random but if you check out the close up replays, straight after Reece clears the ball, Jota takes a wild right foot swing on the rebound, gets a slight touch on it but rakes/catches Reece's right knee on the follow through. Then he takes another swing and takes out Jorginho
Should that be a yellow card offence even after the VAR decision?
If Saul, clicks, then whoever finishes above Chelsea will win the league. Simple.Their central midfield options of Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic and (seemingly) Saul are annoyingly competent.
I’d fancy us for the title if we had that quartet.
There are still pubs he has not had a brawl in.Still have the luxury of being able to send top quality like Danny Drinkwater out on loan...
I think Chelsea want those players to play full 38 game season or close to it. If they stay at Chelsea they will probably only get half that at best, whilst it is also a bit of a risk (when fighting for the league/CL) compared to having someone like Saul on the bench who is only costing them a €4m fee for the year and his wages.I don't understand Chelsea at all.
With Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho why do they need Saul?
They have some talented midfield players like Gilmour, Gallagher and Ampadu (maybe even more) so it's hard to understand why one of them isn't able to be part of the quartet and get some minutes?
That's fair enough. They just do things so differently to United I struggle with it. Surely it's all about integrating your younger players and letting them make their mark. If they are talented enough then playing with the first team and rotating in the CM will surely be better than a season long loan at Norwich with different coaches, a different system and lesser players.I think Chelsea want those players to play full 38 game season or close to it.

Personally, I thought their Lukaku deal was bonkers as I don't rate him, however this deal for them is also bonkers. Saul has had an iffy 18 months or so but prior to that he was regarded pretty much as a lock for a position in the top 5 CM's in the world and if not that, then certainly top 10.
It seems as though Tuchel wanted another midfielder and he likes Saul, Kante is also getting injured alot these days too. The players we loaned out need to play, being fourth choice midfielder they wont play as much. Although i 100% get what you are saying, i was up for Ampadu to stay.That's fair enough.

Just seems unnecessary.
PSG doesn't really count so yes, Chelsea probably have the best squad in the world.They have arguably the best squad in the world right now

Thanks. Jota's two swipes
VAR can’t be used to give yellows unless it’s to overturn a red card if I remember correctly.@GifLord penalty incident with slows mo?

Are there people who still think that isn’t a penalty and therefore a red card? Watch his right arm after it bounces up of his leg.
