They paid so much for him, I didn’t even realise Enzo Fernandez doesn’t even fucking start lmfao
Same with Mudryk.
“come on chelsea” my brother in christ i could find better chants at a sunday league game
How do we not score from that ???
ask trossard
So we get our player bleeding out from the head and needing treatment and yet we’re the one punished with a yellow card and also needing to play with 10 men, make it fucking make sense.
Meanwhile this piece of shit that constantly just shoves people to the ground and barges into them with no restraint gets not a single card.
Never a foul when it’s Chelsea 😉
No second yellow for Caicedo no?
I really hope we haven’t rushed Ødegaard back
Glad he’s back and in a big game.
But, he’s only played like 9 mins. It feels too soon. I’ll hold my tongue, but our potential title hopes hinge on him.
Havertz!
Unlucky Timber
That’s a fucking dive as shit lmfao what do you mean free kick
When did Pedro Neto even go to Chelsea? I swear I don’t even realise half these guys are at Chelsea lol.
Summer
In the 24/25 summer window. There were rumours we were linked, but I’d say his injury record was a stumbling block
His agent was shopping him around
Or maybe the rumours were the previous season. I don’t remember
GABIIIIIIIII
Guys, I think we might have to contend with the fact that Chelsea are actually decent now at some point :/
Defensively this is their best performance all season
of course it is, it’s us they’re playing against. When has anyone played poorly against us, seriously.
Ah Kai :( love when he scores against Chelsea, maybe the next one will count
Cucurella clearly slipping and diving and yet they get the foul. I’m so done with this season ngl, why are we bothering. The players hardly seem to want to.
To be fair odegaard did trip him before the slip just cucurella didnt go down
