The business about time wasting. Hope that means they will take notice of what Newcastle do.
I don't have much faith with what I've seen so far, but I suspect certain referees might be trying to 'kick back' a bit.

No idea how having better tactical awareness/fitness fixes time wasting. Referees not being aware of it isn’t the issue - it’s the fact they do feck all about it that’s the problem and have zero tools outside of booking individuals to fix it. Stopped clock is needed.
Absolutely. There is no rationale for not stopping the clock at substitutions, injuries, and goals. Quite farcical that football still relies on dullard referees to ensure fair timekeeping.

Seems odd that Ziyech is starting
Maybe I am off here and Chelsea fans can correct me but when I saw Potter and his press conference it sounded like he has minimal involvement in transfers. I assume he has his say and like @The Boy mentioned in another thread a lot of players they have signed have technical qualities which he likes but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some players that Chelsea want to get rid of or players that want to leave that Potter would rather stay. I think Ziyech is probably one of those players that Potter would keep around.

Looking forward to Ziyech doing a Gallas.

For all the money spent, I don't look at Chelsea's team and feel perturbed. Nkunku, when he joins, will be hot shit up front I'm assuming, otherwise their team lacks real firepower.

Is Sterling going to become a squad option from here on?

The forward line doesn’t look overly convincing but if we have Felix, Mudryk, Nkunku, Madueke and Sterling, it will be more productive.

It will be interesting to see how Mudryk is against teams with a low block.

Aubameyang bombed out already. Strange one starting Ziyech whilst still raw from his transfer exploits.

Who do you expect the primary goal scorer is going to be from that lot, Nkunku?

Early days for Sterling but it feels like that signing will be a bust for Chelsea. Felix is on loan and obviously had to adjust to a new league and teammates very quickly in order to have any tangible impact, and we don’t know if he’ll be there next season. I know nothing about Mudryk or Madueke but they basically both need to be hits for your attack to shape up okay next season, sounds like?

I’m sure Nkunku had 30+ goals last season and is almost goal per game this season.

He would likely play in CF position with hopefully two productive wingers. It’s very similar to the way Pep played his front line before Haaland.

Of course he has zero input. They wouldn't be on 8-year contracts if he did. I forget which player it was but the media asked him what the their attributes were and it was pretty obvious Potter didn't have a clue and just tried to blag it.

Do Chelsea now have the record for spending the most money on players who have the shittest tattoos?

I think Chelsea will have their Lampard moment with the signing of Enzo.

Shut up Neville. The guy should have been suspended for the shite he was retweeting this week.

I dunno how England and Chelsea fans can deal with Mount, he winds me up so much as a neutral to watch. So frustrating.

He has had a shocking season. Even there he had two players wide and still hits a defenders. He needs a spell on the bench.
