Disasi = gone pecan (Marseille?)

Maresca would choose between Disasi and Badiashile is my guess

there are transfer rumors about both, Badiashile is considered the more desirable of the two

Maresca has done an amazing job of the squad in this position.


mainly he has created a shape and form that is consistent and stuck to it

and he has instilled a sense of sharing and teamwork throughout the organization that is reflected on the field

…except for Noni! Kidding but I think they shipped off Sterling partly because of his selfishness. And I think he’s washed.

True, but he tinkered to get to that point.

Enzo is a distributor.

Caicedo is a machine.

Palmer is a clinician.

Finding the right shape to allow them all to prosper took some time, but man has it paid dividends.

I get to watch very little outside of Chelsea these days, i know John Terry isn't walking through that door but there's got to be a big British workhorse like Gary Cahill out there somewhere or a wild man like rudiger. Isn't Lewis dunk highly rated?

Jarrad Brainthwaite is solid.

Marc Guehi is as well. Ironically, we sold him to Palace, who will probably sell him to Newcastle (we get 20% of the sale price).

As for older guys, John Stones and Dunk come to mind.

They don’t fit the growth profile though.

Imho, the best young English cb is Colwill, and he is on the roster.

Dominant win over Shamrock 5-1. Guiu is really showing out in these conference matches. Love his hustle. I do wonder why Cucurella played today? He’s needed for Sunday. Odd decision.

blues and the toffees defensive sides and GKs are playing out of their minds today

both teams have had chances, the Blues have been lucky as well

we needed Spurs to come through today to be tied with LFC at the top for Christmas

of course Spurs are not delivering

Toffees have weirdly played the Blues very tough these last few years

the last 7 H2H matchups are 2-2-3

A point at Everton isn’t bad.

I thought that Chelsea were the better squad by a large margin.

I mean, this match was never going to be easy.

The Toffee’s started the season with just one point from their first five matches.

Since then, they have only lost two of their next eleven.

In short 3 wins and 6 draws out of 11 means that getting 3 points against them was never going to easy.

I’ll take the point today and roll along.

That wind seemed crazy. Game also showed how important Cucurella is in the attack.

That’s what I was going to say. Marc is key to this teams success. On to the next one.

Most matches, yes.

Today, I’m glad he was out.

SD parks the bus and counters.

I don’t see him making a difference in the attack against their back line. Him going forward would been an issue with their counter.

That being said, this is the ONLY match that applies to.
