Fine wine. Fresh beats. Jazz. The famous CFC.
Hard to remember a less-convincing 2-0 win. Alarming how simple it was for Brentford to attack our goal. Heartening, though, that Rosenior acted to wrest back control early in the second half. Previous management was always too slow to react in similar situations.

Don’t mind it actually. It’s been a bumpy period for him. He needs to build some confidence back, needs the minutes imho.

Impressive fightback which says a lot about the growth of this team - but so tired of being continually BULLIED in the first half of difficult away matches.

Perhaps lost in the myriad storylines of recent weeks has been the improved centre forward play of Joao Pedro. There's been a conspicuous increase in energy and strength in contests, good link up play. Seemingly now free of the injury he was carrying, he deserves some credit after all the criticism.

Just look at our defence personnel tonight. Before the game and how it evolved throughout. You can’t win games like that. Why is the term ‘settled defence’ anathema to Maresca? Unforgivable.

I’ve never been as convinced about the depth of Chelsea’s squad as they are. They’re a really strong team at full strength and Maresca is a smart coach, but they can’t challenge for the Premier League as long as nights like this are still part of their nature

Not for the first time we’ve just sleepwalked into what was always going to be a white-hot environment. Pitiful, unforgivable performance.

Yes. It’s called a Test match. And if you had any idea how to play one, you’d be batting now. Clowns.

Boasting lush production, rich instrumentation, high-profile guest spots, and dips into an range of adventurous influences from dub to bossa and yacht rock, ‘Malik’ impressed enough for us to award it with a rare 9/10 score.

Jackson gone at that potential price is a big win. He has some ok abilities but his best work always came around the half way line rather than inside the box. He’s young but no amount of time will fix his suspect finishing, poor mentality or his extraordinarily low football IQ. Best to get rid.

Genuinely surprised Colwill and similarly overworked players were even training yet. Even if it meant missing the first game or two of the season they needed a proper break
