Chelsea FC - Pride of London

[Eastcoasteagle]

Pretty relaxing affair against Leicester as they didn't provide much of a threat for us.

Ndidi should have been red carded for his bad challenge on Palmer.

Really pleased with Jackson's progress. He's gone from being mocked for being unable to convert easy shots, to now becoming a very reliable striker. Still more work to be done, but his development has been good.

Yeah that Ndidi challenge was horrible, the challenge on Felix wasn't great either.

Loving Jackson this season, took it so well. I hope we don't sign another striker, as he's developing nicely.
If we so I think I prefer Delap, he's very young and looks class.

That was an enjoyable watch. Things are really clicking now. Enzo's best game and I've done a 180 on Cucu who's been brilliant. If Jackson could take more of his chances he'd be in top tier conversations.

 

[chef]

Hopefully Fofana is alright, he's been fantastic this season.

Maresca keeps surprising me each week, looks a top class manager.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Can't stop watching Palmer's goal. Goalkeeper was left frozen in shock by his strike.

Caicedo has also recaptured his form from Brighton after a tough first season.

 

[Loonerty]

It's really all starting to come together. Defence still a bit of shakiness but overall we're starting to see the vision.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Lavia looking good too!

 

[Loonerty]

And we have Estevao coming next year too

And Santos. Our CM 4 of Lavia, Caicedo, Enzo and him next season is going to be crazy. No lack.of quality no matter which combo we put out on the park.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Up to 2nd on goal difference.

Anyone starting to believe that we're contenders or still too early ?

We need a scalp of one of City/Arse/Pool first

Always though Casadei has looked very good too when he plays.

Sancho looking a bargain buy at this stage. Even if we onsold him we'd make a tidy profit.

[Eastcoasteagle]

Damn Spurs losing to another average side, they'll probably beat us now.

 

[chef]

Last season we would have dropped that game going 2 down. But these kids a really maturing. Maresca keeps looking top class.

We've got our Chels back.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Cold Palmers cheeky penalty!!! Love this man.

 

[chef]

 

[Loonerty]

the crying over Caicedo not getting a red but crickets for Kulisevski busting Lavia open with an elbow

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Absolutely buzzing. I'm starting to believe we're in the title race now.

The way we fought back after being 2-0 down was phenomenal. The team showed great character in adversity.

Palmer is ICE COLD! What a player.

The only major blemish of the day was Cucurella slipping over twice which inadvertently led to Spurs scoring twice in the first 10 minutes of the game.

I still think it's Liverpools to lose, if anything we are building confidence that we're a top side and being the youngest in the prem we could be setting ourselves up for a very good 6-10 years.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Our games against Spurs are rarely dull, another big win after being 2-0 down early. There's a lot of belief in this squad now.

Add Enzo to the list of last season's flops who are now proving their worth.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Massive opportunity presents itself tonight.

Liverpool and Arsenal both dropped points.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

2-1 win over Brentford. Annoying that Cucurella was red-carded at the end of the match.

5 consecutive PL wins. Great effort by everyone involved.

I guess with a busy Christmas period coming maybe a game off for Cucu isn't the worst thing.

Interesting, we only made the one sub this game - Nkunku for Jackson on 83rd minute.

With the young guns playing in Astana both Felix and Mudryk haven't had any minutes in the past two games. So both should be pretty fresh for upcoming heavy schedule.
