And we didn't want Maignan because ?

Jackson will be missing due to AFCON. I’d get rid of him. He can’t control his emotions That’s two reds now

Maresca needs to be talked about in this competition too, he’s been way too late to make subs. Andrey Santos still hasn’t had a minute after being a T5 midfielder in France last season, what is he doing?

There is simply no hope for a coach who leaves Lavia, Santos and Essugo on the bench and plays a right back in midfield and a much poorer right back in that position.

Santos has a stand-out season, and he risks playing RJ in midfield. Baldy is gonna have his pants royally pulled down in the CL 😂

Chelsea want to sell Petrovic, Santos for profit; I think that’s just the truth really.

I actually can’t believe a professional striker has 2 red cards in his last 3 games.

I would take it as a positive if I thought Maresca, the owners or SDs would take any lessons from it. But they won't. They have drank the Kool Aid. Despite all evidence to the contrary they are convinced their way is the right way.

FT #CHEFLA Flamengo played the ref like a fiddle. Back post defending was nonexistent. Jackson isn’t responding well to pressure. Palmer was absent. Gusto inverting isn’t going to miraculously work. Colwill needs to step it up, all 3 goals in his zone. Maresca too hesitant.

The result and performance should bring us crashing back to Earth. We won a European competition that Bournemouth could have won. Liverpool, City and Arsenal are all buying better players than we are after finishing above us. Change needed now or we go backwards. Simple.

John Obi Mikel says Robert Sanchez is NOT the goalkeeper to lead Chelsea to titles.

🚨 Mikel: “Jackson? Don’t get me started again” (DAZN)

🚨 John Obi Mikel (while shaking his head) on Nicolas Jackson: “Unbelievable. Stupid stupid stupid mistake. I don’t know what was going through his head. Your team needs you and he does that. He did the same at Newcastle… you can’t keep making these mistakes.” #CFC

John Obi Mikel: “I don’t care what his frustration is (Delap starting). This is a massive football club and it’s about competition. If you’re angry or p*ssed off, then you have to embrace it. We need competition.” #CFC

🗣️ Marc Cucurella says Nico Jackson apologised to his teammates after his red card. "He’s a young player with a lot of quality but maybe needs to improve a little bit in these things. He has to learn. After the manager spoke, he said sorry [and that] he didn’t do it on purpose."

Want to feel old? Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink son Lucas scored for Netherlands U19s tonight. You would have to remortgage if you want that name on the back nowadays 😂

Maresca on Palmer and tactical changes: "He played in a different structure today to prepare for next season to have different options. I think the plan worked quite well for 60 minutes. We tried for the first time this season a new system." He says Jackson was unlucky to be

Not intentional 🙄
