With respect. You can't make wholesale changes to those who barely play and expect the intensity to magically be there in one of Chelseas greatest rivalries, away under the lights. That's what you get when you remove any consistency in CB pairing

Didn't need to change both CBs which is always a recipe for disaster. Keep chalobah there and play josh at rb. Or play gusto at rb then rest him on Saturday. Badiashile in a game of this intensity is nuts. He's utterly obsessed with unenforced tinkering and it's beyond infuriating

Dreadful. Shocking lack of ambition. Looked like we were playing for the one nil loss. That said, on a day where Newcastle proved the value of having a proper striker, can't help but feel the sporting directors have left us horribly short there for a club of this ambition (and at GK)

It's so compelling. Its fun rooting for the traitors but I think the empathy flipped a bit with the whole seer thing. I personally quite like how it was different from previous years in that the 'jeopardy' was in whether the paranoia/greed would win out and deserving faithful get booted at the last

The misfortune to face city either end of their uncharacteristically appalling form is.... Just our luck

It's clear from this that Kemi Badenoch's team Don't Look Back In Hansard.

Yeah obviously the one time a ref does that all season and it's to screw us over. Standard

How can the halves of football vary so wildly...? In control, creating chances for fun one half, and completely exposed, run ragged the next?!

How can we look so brilliant and in control one half and horribly stretch and unbalanced the next, over and over again...

Yeah that's fair. He did struggle v Bournemouth but as you say he's now internationally capped and he's shown his his versatility and character too. He's only 21 as well so I think he's gone from 'gamble; prospect' to 'clear potential'

Not sure I agree on veiga's valuation. He's overall been pretty impressive for Chelsea (he played in mf in the away win at Bournemouth and don't forget has displaced Chilwell in our squad) and would justify 20m comfortably. Your general points v valid tho

Yawn.

Yeah. But I'd have thought I have the right to expect randoms don't wade in on my posts calling people "yank scum". It's just completely needless. Also, you don't know I'm not American do you.

I'm not the one who escalated from a simple joke to abuse, but sure I'll calm down

My post was a joke but keep going round calling people scum - you must have a happy life

Poor from the Peterborough boss there - surely you've got to be creating a bit of history by just bringing him on for the last 5 😂

Poor chap. Thee was a time pre that injury v villa (I think?) where he looked like he was going to be so good
