I don't wanna try to pretend my club is any different from Liverpool when they spend so much money on a player. I must say though that I'm glad our days of unsustainable spending like how manc and psg do now are over.

Kovacic on YouTube looks pretty good. He's a midfielder that is comfortable breaking forward with the ball, something that we're missing. A good short term solution.

Our striker is still a concern though. I'm still confident that Morata can succeed under sarri. Maybe even bats now that no one needs to play target man anymore. Just make good runs, link with attackers and finish moves.

Can't wait to see the fight for 3/4 this season.

Literally every player


Nah. I look beyond the fancy moves and highlights and just judge their general playstyle from the clips. Some of those hot prospects like Malcolm baka (when he came to Chelsea) fekir fabinho etc are not convincing to me in their roles.

I felt that Chelsea midfield lacked a player that was willing to run with the ball. Jorginho and cesc just want to pass. Kante is defensive and can't really penetrate. Barkley has been a question mark. So when I watched kovacic, I was happy that he's such a player


Baka looked really good in live games playing for Monaco. A team and system he was clearly comfortable in.

I dont know if its the pressure or the system or the manager or what, but the drop in quality in his play is directly related to a lack of comfort and confidence. Its like he just lost his skills and that really only ever happens for either of those two reasons or I suppose... injury but really the bottom line for players under performing their expect level is just comfort and confidence+ Show Spoiler +
for me anyway.


I was expecting an all action box to box style like Keita or Yaya, but clearly he is not athletic enough for that role. He is also neither a big size bully nor a visionary passer. Technically I may have seem glimpses of it in Chelsea shirt. But I also saw way too many mistakes which kinda sums up his season at Chelsea. But take those mistakes away, I still see nothing fantastic or prospective about him.

Yeah that seems more obvious.. none of the live replays were close enough or werent clear.

Seems an ok call. Cuz the ref kept pointing to the arm being out and I couldnt see it at all.. so was really wtf..

He got better as the game progressed but it started out with too many missed passes in my view.

hype is real. 2-1 for tottenham after 16 minutes.

aside from randomly cheering for newcastle cuz that's what I decided to do when I was a kid, I hope liverpool and tottenham do well.

and wow tottenham's 1-0 goal was 100% goal line technology. don't think that one would get called without.

Woooh! Flattering scoreline considering how shaky we were in the first half. Barkley yet again not doing anything penetrative as the cam. Pedro buzzing around as usual but otherwise quite unproductive (good finish though). Morata with a decent shift.

Kante though is so important for the team. Look at how comfortable jorginho was with him running everywhere. So much pressure off him knowing there's cover.

Hazard was in training ground pace and still showed he is a class above the rest. Can't wait to see him start games again. Beautiful.

Excited at the glimpses of sarri-ball. Let's go!

Kante will get 40 goals this season! He can do everything!!! Defensive mid, box to box mid, now attacking mid! Ballon D'or inc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We played very good second half but first half a bit slow, Jorginho penalty nuts.

Barkley also set up that penalty remember your way to harsh on him in a game where we didn't produce anything until Hazard came on really

Nice flick I must say. I've seen enough of him to conclude that he's not good enough in this system. We really need him to beat players, retain possession and be creative, but he is just not technically there. I actually wish we have ox over him.
