Hard not for me to get a little nostalgic with Rudiger, Salah and Alisson on the pitch.

All I need is an Emerson appearance now.

It is a shame that those core of players didn't win a trophy together at Rome. Great team

So I saw a headline that Mourinho was blaming the loss on the officials....all I have to say is lol.

Sure the first goal was a tiny bit offside, but other than that I don’t recall any particularly bad calls. Sure there was random stuff on minor fouls I disagreed with, but that happens all the time and I don’t recall anything that significantly affected a chance.

They need to water the pitch at the half, that ripped some skin off of hazard's knees.

"Fluke" is probably too harsh. But, I doubt you'll see that kind of production from him again. Doesn't mean he won't still be a very, very good player.
I just meant in terms of his conversion rate. Obviously he's still getting these chances and will score a few, but last year it felt automatic

Watching a game like this it makes me wonder how good Chelsea would be with someone like Icardi or Belotti up top instead of Giroud.

Mane is in a funk too. Can't have both Salah and Mane in poor form at the same time.

If Salah puts gentle pass there it's probably a goal. We need Firmino passing to Firmino.

Giroud is supposed to be the backup, but Morata is awful so Giroud has taken his spot. Ideally we go and get someone better either this winter or next summer.

Oh I get it don’t get me wrong. But I remember some links to both those players and I think that they could work really well for Chelsea.

Not sure how Icardi would work with Hazard. I could see it working really well , or not at all.

Say what you want about Giroud , but he knows how to play with great players.

I guess the elephant in the room is Morata. What will Chelsea do with him?

Salah's doing lots of stuff well but it's just that last touch, pass, shot dribble or whatever. And I think it's been the same for our entire front 3 this season. Hopefully it all starts to click soon then they will do some serious damage
