Not expecting Frank Lampard's Chelsea to get one over them then...

 

[jd1981]

Honestly think we’d have a better chance against Real over 2 legs

 

[Wolftone]

Good performance all round, I thought Grealish, Silva and Ake particularly were outstanding,

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Grealish has been transformed over the last six months. No more pointless fannying around in nothing areas, completely unrecognisable in terms of effort off the ball.

Yes, gone from a lad who stands out wide, waiting for the ball, doing his tricks and rolling around, waving his arms when he's lost the ball, to a genuine talented wide midfielder, who works up and down, plays for the team, makes good percentage decisions and has an end product.
Genuine international class now.

Doesn't go down anywhere near as often either, at least when he's playing for Pep.

Second season under Pep has been the making of quite a few players over the years

Noticeable how he buys them, then puts them on the bench for a month or two, with only cameo appearances, meanwhile working on their game, fitness and tactics, whilst bringing them down to earth at the same time.

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

It is what Liverpool did with new signings in the 70s and 80s. Buying when in a position of strength and no need or expectation of instant results. You earn the right to get into that position and once there things become easier. Being the wealthiest team or biggest spenders obviously helps. Managerial consistency and talent being the other factor.

 

[Del Woppio]

Terrible by Cucarella and absolutely brain dead by Chilwell

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Is Cucurella actually as slow as Coady or can he just not be arsed?

Kante played last night for only the 4th time this season - each time he played under a different Manager , Tuchel , Potter , Lampard and a caretaker one Bruno Salter .

He's out of contract in the Summer . Wonder whether he will stay or not . Picking up a fair few injuries these times .

Just checked on Soccerbase. He's played 5 times this season. 4 in the league and once in the CL last night.

Twice under Tuchel in August, then once for Potter, Salter and Lampard. His last 4 have been 4 different managers.

At some point all the 1st team squad at Watford will have similar experience

Do you think he'll stay at Chelsea ?

There are surely clubs having a look at him .

He is in talks over a new deal with Chelsea.

Even though he has been injured this season he will have a fair few elite clubs speaking with him

A good chance our game with Man Utd will be getting moved with the way it’s going.

Could help if they’re more focused on the Europa.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Sancho is just piss poor!
