Chilly is great. He should play more. Solid defensively and a threat to score.

Solid win and good bounce back game. That second goal was huge if we get into a goal differential situation. Mendy and Mount terrific. Rudiger very good too.

Chilwell has been the preferred option for a month or so now. He's played all the big matches.

A team that can sub on Kante, Capt America, and Giroud (with Tammy the leading scorer on the branch) should be better offensively. Complete garbage by Kai today which is sucks because I think his upside is higher than Timo. Timo is Timo - high energy but little to show for it. If rumors are true, Blues will be adding a scorer in the summer and one or two of those guys (Timo, Kai, Tammy, Giroud) will be gone.

Imagine how good we could be if we had spend the 200m on good players instead of Werner and Havertz. If Hitler had bombed London like these two losers the continent would be speaking German.

Add Ziyech to that list of disappointments

Man I don’t miss Barkley’s stupid shots from the top of the circle that have no chance of connecting. Sell him and the other on-loan baggage and free up some cash for strikers.

I’ll take a 1-0 win today vs Palace. Just keep pace.

Chelsea Starting Lineup: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Rudiger, Hudson-Odoi, Jorginho, Kovacic, Chilwell, Pulisic, Havertz, Mount

Capt America in for Werner and deserved. Haven’t seen Zouma and Rudiger in the back together yet. CHO back in. Glad Chilly getting another start. Havertz must have a good game or bench him.

Havertz is so wasteful. No wonder he only has two goals all season.

Y’all think Pulisic gets a starting position now? He looked great playing more centrally. I love seeing him do that quick turn in the middle of the pitch and sprinting forward to the space behind the defensive midfield to launch the attack. Hoping to see more of that from him for the US.

I really like Kai’s game but he does bungle opportunities. Pulisic is better than Timo and should start but it’s his damn lack of durability that keeps him off. Every time he hits the floor I think he’s done, and he’s on the floor a lot.

All that said, very definitive win today. Other than a brain fart goal with the game well in hand, it was a pretty perfect day.

Kai looks like his shots are with 50% effort. No one on them. Let it rip man. CP with a great match. Mount is a staple of this team. Jorginho can leave the team for all I care...I’ll take pretty much any of our MF ahead of him, especially Kante.

i remember thinking the same thing about his passing earlier in the year. too much touch and not enough zip. really hoping to see him adjust that next season.

Rumors of Kun coming to Chelsea...thoughts?

He’s crushed us for so long that it would be nice to have a proven goal scorer in the squad. I can see him pairing well with our wingers albeit his injury history makes me think we might get a half season out of him.

Does he still have it? I trust Tuchel to make the right moves.

Big big big week for Blues. Porto tomorrow and then City in FA Cup action on Sat. City is beatable as proven by an undermanned Leeds and Porto is reeling. If Tuchel can get some silverware after taking over the trainwreck he inherited from Frank, he should be MOTY.

Chelsea: Mendy; Azpilicueta (c), Thiago Silva, Rudiger; James, Jorginho, Kante, Chilwell; Mount, Havertz, Pulisic

Substitutes: Caballero, Kepa, Christensen, Zouma, Alonso, Emerson, Hudson-Odoi, Ziyech, Abraham, Giroud, Werner

Like this lineup. COYB!

Very chippy wary on. Porto pressing high and almost got an easy one from a lazy Mendy pass.

Porto is controlling this thing. Absolutely dead offensively not even sure Blues got a shot off this half. I don’t think the idea is to play for a draw but that’s how it looks so far. Porto will be desperate for goals next half which may lead to some breakaway chances. Will be interesting to see if Tuchel brings on Giroud or Timo to spell Kai who has done nothing.

Porto's entire team must obtain 1 Yellow card against Christian.

Hard to believe there weren’t more yellows in this game. Someone was hitting the turf on every other pass. CP got beat up pretty good today.

Did just enough today but I worry when we really need a goal, who is going to score it? We’ll need goals against City on Saturday.

Nevertheless, on to the semi’s.
