----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just don't want to be in a top 4 battle and to close the gap on the top 2.

We're not consistent enough over 38 games to win the league yet
----------------------------------------------------------------------

For me it's just that we are probably two players short compared to Pep's City.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<cough>
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it's just injuries that differ us from Liverpool - I think we are probably better when fully fit
----------------------------------------------------------------------


The last time Chelsea were better than Liverpool Trump was still favourite to win the last election. You'll do well to avoid finishing below us for a 5th year running.

Yeah npe

I expect city to go like 14 wins in a row

I would like us to stick CHO out on the right for a few games. He has a bad habit of stopping and moving it onto his right. Would like to see him run at the byline and just try to hit the crosses in first time
------------------------------------------------------------
I've always preferred him on the right personally, all the way back to Sarri days/before James was anywhere near the team.

He runs into dead ends on the left too much. A la Kalou, a la Schurrie, etc...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only that but Pulisic has had his best performances from the left. Drives me crazy that we don’t give him a shot there again.

If I go through our hiccoughs:

Burnley 1-1 - we battered them and got undone by one moment, very unlucky.

Manchester United 1-1 - likewise.

West Ham 2-3 - probably our worst second half performance and only got undone by a fluke.

Zenit 3-3 - we were crap, deserved slip up.

Everton 1-1 - we were crap, deserved slip up.

Wolves 0-0 - screwed over by injuries, probably a good point in the long-term.

Hard to really counter city when they go on those run of wins

Have they got liverpool again soon?

We were better than you two months ago you mug, when we outplayed you at Anfield with 10 men you ditsy little preck.

Oh and we are Champions of Europe, and you celebrated third place like you found some extra benefits under your sofa.

Yeah Pulisic can't play anywhere but LW from what I've seen. Been generally poor for awhile though.

Yeah it's just a Pep thing sadly.

We can't match it yet. Probably a couple signings away tbh - assuming we keep 3-4-3 we need a Fabregas option in CM, a better WB back up than Alonso and one of our wingers/inside forwards to become a reliable goalscorer.

Oh and we now probably have to replace Rudiger

Oscar is too busy reminding himself to blink and breathe

He’s covering for the lack of Havertz/Werner and until recently Lukaku. But harsh. Also was coming back from injury being shuffled all over. Seems like a scapegoat for many here.

Tbh if you went through our old guard and brought in prime Fabregas as a CM option and prime Eden Hazard we'd be with City right now.

That's right, just two world class players

Agree, been pushed all over the place and then to the dreaded false 9

I don't think Pulisic has been great but he is a left winger who played as a false nine, then as a wing back in a team devoid of confidence.

What do you mean "we can't match it yet?" You should say "we can't match it."

Chelsea have shown no sign of matching City in the last 4 years. Been nowhere near tbh and already 6 behind this year.

Our lightweights will be our undoing in games...

Pulisic
CHO
Alonso
Havertz at times
Ziyech mostly
Rubes

None of these makes a pool or City starting line up
