Expecting a proper basketball game today.
------------------------------------------------------------
I need to see a Brighton match at some point. The amount of stuff I've seen about their manager makes it sound like he's doing something genuinely innovative having no midfield?

I'm sure it's exaggerated, probably only one phase of a match where that's how the shape appears, but I wanna see exactly what he's doing.

Feel like Tosin deserves to start over

…Fofana

Strong bench again

Lavia to get minutes and start in midweek I would think

I'd be tempted to just keep give Lavia a few appearances off the bench before starting him. Given that he's spent at least 95% of his Chelsea career so far injured.

Yup, plenty of options there, especially in attack

If you're gunna have no control of matches you wanna be killing those two stats. Both are unsustainable (particularly the 1st one) but that's a different matter
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel we were more basketball under Poch than now
------------------------------------------
It's only what I've heard, I need to see more games. Got three weeks off work from Monday so I'll have time too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you haven't actually watched us play much this season then Devil ?

- People are starting to get slightly excited about watching the team
- Very few injuries
- Some big wins recently

It would be so us to now lose to Brighton lol

And it would be so us as fans to jump on it and go full pessimistic breakdown lol

Heard a lot less of our nonsensical scattergun approach to the transfer window as of late.

It's too soon to say with most our players tbh. We also still have 5-6 too many players hanging around like a bad smell lol.

Chillwell and James will be moved on eventually. Others are probably loans.

We still have Kepa don’t we? nobody wants to pay for him.

James gets £20m a year to lie down on treatment table, he's not budging!

But yeah we have 5 CBs, one needs to go.
Chilwell is hanging around when Maresca will never rate him.
Chukwuemeka, Washington and Casadei need loans and weekly football.
I have no idea who Kellyman even is, and Bergstrom being here for years is a marvel.

We are paying for him to be somewhere else, likewise Sterling. It's not a good thing.

Come on Chelsea
