Azpi gets beat again and a dangerous cross that Zouma takes care of.

Azpi beat again, leading to a long ass shot.

Fucking hell we need to get out of this with 3 points

Just a dreadful game from Azpilacueta

I mean Sheffield United is only coming down Azpi's side.

Billy Gilmour should be playing lead guitar for a glam rock band in 1978. 

Son of a god damn fucking bitch.  What a shit show of a second half.

Frank would be subbing himself in if he had a sub left.

Dude just dove with an 18 year old defending him.

Great assist from Azpi to Zouma. Fantastic defending from both of them. 

I'm going to go bang my head against the wall, let me know if anything interesting happens.

Welp. This year is going to be a wild ride. Too bad we can't put together a game yet.

Fuck you Willian.

What are you talking about? He's absolutely elite at not doing anything with the ball. 

Manure drew today, so there's that at least. 

Ceiling of top 6 may prove to be grossly optimistic when all is said and done.

Fuck, Zouma Dave is awful. We need Rudiger and AC Reece back badly.

We get it, Mo. Dave isn’t what he once was. Having said that, he is in no way the only issue with the back line. Zouma has matched him in terms of mistakes and is just as much of a liability if not more.

I’d also caution against assuming Reece will be any sort of cure all. He’s untested in the EPL and will make his fair share of mistakes as he adjusts to the speed of the game.

There is no quick fix coming for this season. We’re not going to challenge for anything meaningful and really just need to stay focused on avoiding the relegation zone. I doubt that will be an issue but we’re honestly capable of dropping points against anyone, so who knows.

Pretty decent read if you’re open to the possibility that Dave isn’t solely to blame for our defensive shortcomings.

I thought the blame for our shortcomings was always the board?

And I know Dave isn't the only issue, but his 2019 season is looking an awful lot like Ivan crica 2016. Putting all the blame on Zouma is not fair either.

We need to get Kante and Rudiger healthy and see how the team responds. As well, I would hope to see Reece James get some run. Of course he is going to need to adapt and get his legs coming back from injury. But he was on the Championship team of the season, was Wigan's player of the year and will be a good to great player. I personally believe having Reece James at RB over Dave will make a bigger difference than having Rudiger over Zouma. But that is just my opinion.

Also, some history for those who have joined for the Pulisic show

This.

And CHO and RLC, too.

I'm refraining from being too critical of the back four until we see how they look with the real midfield in front of them.  

Edited by TexArcher

Does anyone know if Pulisic is trying to catch a late flight to be active for tomorrow mornings match? 

Nvm I'm dumb - have the weekend off.

Ok, back to real matches

From the press conference.

So it appears we will see how Rudiger's presence augments our defenes.

CHO and Reece James play today for the U23 - Great news, depth is needed with multiple games per week coming

We are on NBC Gold tomorrow, so either you have it or you find it other ways.

Oh and if anyone else wants to watch the U23 game it will be on the 5th stand app which you have to register for but is free or from the official chelsea website.

Coverage starts at 11:55am MST today.

Didn’t think your young guys would produce so quickly. Fix the back line and you’ll be going for the league again next season.

Wow Alonso to Abraham

Anybody got the goal videos? Reddit is being annoying on my phone.
