      Thiago Silva is one of the best center backs I've ever seen in my life. He reads the game so well and makes sense why he's still playing at the top at age 38. I can't believe PSG gave him up for free!!

      Sooo much negativity of Chelsea week out week in when we win there's a complaints about the other team were not good enough Esp give us break 💙💯💙!

      The attack is definitely lacking, and the defense still looks a bit shaky still, but I don’t think the center backs are the issue. Chalobah at right back was ok at best, Hall was good but was taking some questionable risks on the ball in his own half. Going forward Hall looks superb but he needs to be a bit more consistent defensively. Still do believe he deserved to be starting though. Gallagher was outstanding, Kepa and Silva were solid, Badiashile impressed me, and my motm was Ziyech, he was brilliant. Still think we need a proper goal scorer, and I’m not a big fan of Jorginho as of late, but other than that, I think the team is definitely moving in the right direction and hopefully Mudryk can provide the creative spark we’ve been missing.

      Imagine we have younger players performing above Thiago on this his form?

      Chelsea has no midfielders nor creative midfielders, nor proper wingers…

      Do you think pulisic and Ziyech can win you the EPL title?

      See Arsenal how martinelli and saka, mane and Salah did it for Liverpool, are hitting up the wings with proper dribbling and creativity from the wings…. unlike ziyech who stands in one place and look for a cross.

      Until we get proper wingers and creative midfielders, forget it.

      I never wanted potter at Chelsea and I always criticize him but I'm making u turn to support him to succeed and I notice something about chelsea team yesterday and the previous games, Chelsea do play well with 4 2 3 1 formation than any other formation, potter should stick with 4 2 3 1 formation and stop to gamble with different formation to help the players to develop and have a style of play.

      it still makes me angry how PSG got rid of him. he gave the best years of his career to them and they didn't even care to extend his contract but yet they bring in Sergio Ramos on a big contract who's the same age and was having injury issues which Thiago Silva has never had. was a complete disgrace how they treated him and i'm glad he's gone to Chelsea and won the Champions League and proved he's still the best centre-back in the world.

      It's nice to see the original easy children's game taught by Cobham Lewis Hall Gallagher, it's time to become a core player… and for Cucurella Jorginho to rcl out….
