Pedro Neto is a dilemma for Ajax.
Ideally, I would start him, as he adds maturity to a young attack. However, he played twice for Portugal and started against Forest despite being a doubt.
He should probably be on the bench, and enter only if struggling at HT

Robert Sanchez has continued his steady improvement since the Club World Cup.
If not for the Old Trafford red card, I think he’d be getting more credit for his start to the season.
He has been solid between the posts.

Benoit Badiashile out until December.
This is really gutting, just as a starting CB combination was coming together.
Injuries are a real limiter this season.

Always found it curious that people remember the Stamford Bridge draw against Ajax more fondly.
The victory at the Amsterdam Arena was a far more impressive result, and generated last-minute limbs.

Worth noting that Reece James has not missed a Chelsea game through injury in 2025.
This is a massive step forward, and allows me to hope for a similar outcome with Romeo Lavia and Wesley Fofana.
Remember the club revamped the Medical Department in 2024.

Looking forward to hearing about the availability of Tosin and Andrey Santos for Nottingham Forest.
Both should hopefully be back, and would add crucial depth for Maresca ahead of 7 games in 3 weeks.
This season will be a squad game more than ever with our volume of fixtures.

Estêvão is the best example of why Chelsea discourse around money spent is futile.
The £30m fee agreed in 2024 has been counted by pundits for 18 months, yet he only joined this summer - and only now we’re seeing how good that investment was.
Money spent for long-term success.

Marc Cucurella is the perfect illustration of why we shouldn’t write off any of the new players so early.
He looked lost in his first 12 months, yet with time he transformed into one of the best LBs in the world.
Signings sometimes need time to adapt.

Good to see that Enzo Maresca will be judged over the entire season.
I am glad the club are beyond sacking coaches mid-season whenever we have the smallest hint of bad form.

Andrey Santos was really solid last night.
He looked bright in midfield, and was dominant both aerially and on the ball.
I would like to see him start alongside Moises Caicedo against Brighton.

If Enzo plays, I want to see him deeper in the pivot with a full-back overlapping.
He needs touches of the ball, and the chance to show his world-class passing range from deep.

No shame in losing away to Bayern.
In the end, it was three individual mistakes, combined with the individual quality of Kane and Olise, that decided the game.
Our lack of experience at this level showed as well.

I think Cole Palmer will hit a new level in the Champions League.
European teams haven’t seen him before and he’ll have more freedom to work his magic in the more open games.
His best performances will be in this competition.

Enzo Maresca has admitted that João Pedro is not best equipped to be the main striker against a low block.
On that basis, I want Marc Guiu to be involved more in the match-day squad in the next few games.
He is our only proper nine, and we need to have him as a viable option.

Chelsea have beaten Brentford (a) just once since they were promoted to the Premier League four years ago.
If we want to be title challengers, these are the sort of games that need to become reliable three-pointers.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrey Santos gets his first PL start against Brentford.
It looks like Cole Palmer won’t be ready, and I think Andrey will play in the pivot with Enzo further forward.
Massive opportunity for him to make a statement.

Estêvão scored for Brazil overnight against Chile and won MOTM. 🇧🇷
He is the youngest player to score a competitive goal for Brazil since Pelé.
Unbelievably special talent.

Reminded that Brentford is just three days before Bayern away.
Might be the ideal time for some of Hato, Essugo, Santos to get their full debuts.
