Spending £65million on a player who totally flopped and then failed a drugs test, was banned and then dropped for the European squad now being spun as some kind of masterstroke by the club is top tier PR ngl

I’ve honestly heard of more of the Leverkusen squad than of ours.

I’m actually pretty sad about Noni Madueke.
My god he’s got his failings, but so do many of the others.
His unpredictability and selfishness is actually an asset when it’s played right. And his swagger is just a bit… fun!

If I were Chelsea manager today I PROMISE you I’d make 11 subs at half time, 1st team debut for six players and finish with a teenager in goal.
I HATE this tournament.

This ‘ceremonial’ stuff is flat out the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever seen on a football pitch.
And I’ve seen Kevin Nolan play.

Jorginho’s diving in this game has been genuinely spectacular.

What I’ve noticed in the first 120 seconds of this game is that Robert Sanchez is absolutely terrible with the ball at his feet.

The problem for Mykhailo Mudryk, god bless him, which has always been abundantly clear, is that he is just plain old stupid.
Really stupid.

When the captain of your football club doesn’t start a European cup final, you’ve got something very very wrong.

To be fair we have shown character in this game to stay in it. Caicedo and Cucurella in particular. Given an impossible task by Jackson tho.

This Cucurella to the goal line on the edge of the box move is great, but you have to think that once opponents have figured it out we might be a bit short of ideas 😂

I’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen that we’ll have a significant wobble at some stage this season. At least once.
Here we are.
But it’s worth noting that despite this, Maresca has still performed far better than many of us predicted.

Complete lack of defensive coordination, iffy performances from several key players and a total lack of influence on the game from the manager when it was needed most.

So glad I agreed to forego even watching this game on TV because we had a Xmas meal planned with the NCT group… 😬
Where can I watch the whole game on catch up?
