Enzo or not (I hope we do get him), I am so excited to see Felix, Mudryk and Noni in the same team/game soon. Felix still got one more game to miss, ya?
Perhaps last chance for Auba since we didn't sign a striker before we flog him. I so want Auba to come good and become our next Giroud.
Also we are working on bringing in Audrey Santos to our main team (work permit issues). Heard he has been performing well in Brazil's games. Think can consider to sell Mount if good price comes in for him. Thought he could be the next Lamps to shoot from outside but he has been disappointing, especially given the chance to start in so many games.
Rui Costa really playing hard ball with us. Already offer RC but we need to do installments also they don't want to give in and meet our conditions. He got targets to purchase immediately with the full RC amount ka?

Not the result that we would like but much improved plays and more attractive football this time around. Sometimes it is just our luck (and their GK performing well). Hope we continue improving and practice our finishing even more. Sleepy af now but I could almooooooost say it was worth my time watching and supporting my team.
I don't like losing but this defeat I can try to accept it because we had so many attempts at their goal.
Let's step up even more and really bring our A-game when they visit us at the Bridge for the 2nd leg.
Owners arldy said they not going to sack Potter, he wont be judge in months but in years.
Lets just ride it out
Not sure what he is thinking about but I think his subs were bad. Thought he would put in Zakaria or Kova so that Enzo can operate higher up the field to chase the game.
"Give him time" is something we all cannot do anymore. Especially looking at his game management and player selection. Everyone would have taken off Ziyech to start the second half and move/take off Havertz and put a proper striker in the box, even if it is Auba.
If we put Auba on the bench instead of D.Fofana, then the club still trust him for some amount. Auba can be rusty but some good slick Mudryk, Felix, Sterling, Noni, Enzo could grease him up back his killer instinct. Maybe, big MAYBE....but for sure, Havertz as striker doesn't work. He doesn't have the poacher instinct and always one or two beats too late.
So frustrating for us viewers to see lousy in-game management by Potter. The moment we conceded, we should have thrown the entire kitchen sink for a win but no. It is frustrating enough that I am paying Astro (Sooka) only to watch Chelsea games live uninterrupted, I cannot imagine those paying good quid to watch in the stadium live home or away.
Please Boehly, take the hit and pay him to get out of the club. It is not his first rodeo in managing a sports club, don't tell me there is no special clause for early termination without big penalties.

Not putting a lot of hope for the game against Dortmund later tomorrow morning but I am feeling conflicted as I both hope we defeat them and progress to the next stage but also I hope we lost badly so that the owners will cut their losses and pull the plug early on Potter.
If we beat Dortmund, maybe still have a bit of hope, I suppose?
Get in! Very entertaining 1st half. A real pity for Havertz as Sterling was just inches offside, else that shot from Havertz was spectacular and would be great for his confidence.
Sterling redeemed himself well. Captain Kova and the boys are threading in some beautiful passes and plays.
Now, I hope we don't play like always do, lose steam in the 2nd half. Gotta pile on more pressure and play inside their penalty box. We can do this, COYB!

don't be so upset, maybe got happy ending ler anyway, me now carrying "not expecting anything" moment. Just expect the worst for the rest of the season. You will feel better that way
Be like Arseanal with Arteta. Maybe it will come good (copying Tuchel's secret codes that he left behind when he was fired in a rush).
Finally Cucu dropped a masterclass. He was dropped for 3 straight games and came back with this mentality, not bad. Hope he is consistent. Havertz had to hit the post twice and a second retake pen to score. We still need a proper striker. What are the odds we get the top guy of the current season, Osimhen. Bundesliga deja vu vibes again?
Like I said, "prepare for the worse and hope for the best" mode is on now Just dream lar....A big if repeat 2012, there will be 1 club supporter in top 4 raging Me won't watch any players until their are signed. Unless those striker have the charismatic big match trait like Drogba or Diego Costa, me don't have high hope and start dreaming soon most of ours recent striker signing hit or miss(mostly miss or hiding when coming to big matches or when we needed them to produce.. )
Well, I think sometimes I forget Nkunku is coming.
Good convincing win. I was like wtf Mudryk in the middle? Potter, u mad?
But it kinda got Havertz more involved in the game, so it was okay. Great performance but still wondering if it is a fluke. Let's win the next game convincingly too and as we move towards games against top 6 opponents and next stage of UCL.
Mudryk in mid all his won fault... always upload those work out videos, potter see he can lift so heavy, so put he in mid to fight
Yesterday he was playing against a bloody giant CB. Kena bullied kuat2 off the ball. But his movements were good. Still very young and inexperienced. Much to learn.

maybe becos of this. Anyway, we need more wins to convinceĀ
Yeah, maybe at least now, the players are *hopefully* gel-ling together better, especially that delicious Fabregas-esque lob from Enzo to Havertz. Is Felix our new Werner? Our #9s and #11s cannot catch a break in Chelsea Blue (or gold)
Didn't like Potter taking off Felix but can understand Potter wanting another MF (Gallagher) to dominate the area and possession.
