And there's the problem
Forest, Burnley, Brentford, Sheffield United. cut in on his right every time.

No post about how well we’ve played last few games and showed a fighting spirit which we haven’t showed all season no? We won and are showing signs we’re clicking that’s all that’s important.
12 May 2024 14:21:09
A question for the Ed’s if they know. With the revamped CL and Europe league, are the clubs that don’t progress to the final 16 introduced into the European competition below like before or are they simply just eliminated? Ie, the teams that finished 3rd in their group in the old format would drop into the Europa League etc. Many thanks :)

Very important win.
The two goals we conceded were both poor. Jackson not marking and Gusto allowing CHO to come inside was criminal.
Negative crap now over. I'm so pleased for a three goal scorers who at various times have had criticism.
Caicedo unbelievable yet again and Palmer always looking to create chances.
This will be a shock but my MOM was Petrovic. He has also improved and I love to see a keeper taking the pressure off defenders when catching a cross.
One small footnote. Good subs today from Poch and they effected the result.
11 May 2024 22:09:54
Yes crucial subs Tom. Defence shaky again and Petrovich not a bad shout for MoM . I also thought Silva worth a shout as made some vital intercepts and clearances on many occasions. Palmer getting the nod from tv pundit on basis of one or two eye catching moments. and his assist for Mudryk goal sumptuous. But overall had a fairly quiet game by his standards. James assist also brilliant to see. And Sterling rises from the dead so to speak with that vital curler to get us level.
11 May 2024 22:43:06
Any one else starting to love this team lately🥰 in particular Jackson❣️.
12 May 2024 07:04:58
Yes Poch.
Jackson didn't have a great game, and the ref didn't give him a thing. But love that celebration and love that work rate.
12 May 2024 10:05:19
it feels like something is happening finally and the team are starting to find that self belief even when they fall behind, which u would of said 2 months ago at 2-1 game over.
12 May 2024 20:52:40
Let’s be honest Jackson could have played mudryk in twice, gusto and palmer yet again he takes about 29 too many touches instead of setting up one on one’s.
11 May 2024 19:43:50
Only watched parts of the game as I'm in Cyprus right now on a family holiday. But my how good is Caicedo becoming now he's finding his feet? Great at breaking up play but he played two fantastic balls to set up our quick two goals.
I will not give up on Mudryk he just hasn't played as much as he should for his age another season and there will be a very good player there I feel.
11 May 2024 21:07:03
Mudryk has definitely got something about him. Caiciedo is mentally good really stepping up.
Jackson scored but he could have teed up mudryk twice, gusto and palmer. Game would have been done.
11 May 2024 22:44:04
I think galagher dropping in next to caicedo has really turned d point for moises he looks much more solid next to galagher, enzo doesn't get near this team atm.
11 May 2024 22:54:08
Is it Gallagher next to him or is it Cucurella that’s helped Caicedo or both?
11 May 2024 23:05:01
I think Gallagher had a poor game by his standards today but I do agree about him being better suited to a No6 role.
12 May 2024 01:23:52
cucu form an sitting into cm could definetly be a factor in helping moises perform but definetly a positive from poch.
11 May 2024 19:34:07
Well done boys! And especially well done Pochetino! What a turnover. 6th place is very realistic now.
11 May 2024 20:24:04
Even 5th is possible. Spurs will lose to City in the midweek and then they have Sheff Utd on the last day. They should win that game but you never know. Win both of our games and we have every chance imo.
12 May 2024 19:01:44
5th almost impossible but 6th is possible if we win next 2 games and Newcastle plays at least draw with Man. Utd.
11 May 2024 13:10:41
Hi Ed2, I know you've got close ties to Chelsea FC. I wanted to know what your opinion was on the situation at Chelsea? What are your thoughts on recruitment, and the model Chelsea are going for? Also, how do you think Poch has done as a manager?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - The recruitment process is doing fine with youngsters and going forward all looks well in the medium and long term. In the short term, there need to be some changes and they should happen this summer. I am not sure what you mean about "model". There have been significant difficulties this season with injuries and losing several players for the whole season. If he stays it will be better next season but that decision will not be made until the season is over.}
11 May 2024 14:17:57
Thanks for your input ED02. I totally agree that the recruitment process is doing fine.
11 May 2024 16:19:25
Please can everyone stop banging on about who is signing next. A billion quid has been chucked at this team since the yanks arrived, but the paint is still wet. An identity of sorts is beginning to show, but that will take a step back the way of CG leaves (imo) . Jackson is so much better than he was 35 games ago, I think Caicedo will be brilliant for Chelsea. Madueke is the first player probably since Willian or Hazard who goes by his marker which panics teams. His maturity when he layed off to Jackson last weekend was a pleasant surprise and showed maturity that was missing only a month ago. Getting a turn out of Cucu, with the RB a revelation as he challenges James. Lots to love, give it a chance.
11 May 2024 18:28:59
All depends who leaves with the exception maybe a CF.
11 May 2024 21:38:35
Scot. behave with your language boy. "the yanks". don't be so rude and ignorant. Many fans, posters and others are American, this site has no place for such comments.
11 May 2024 23:21:40
Why refer to someone as “boy? ” Are you trying to belittle someone’s opinion?
11 May 2024 22:35:44
Brilliant, it was nice getting your opinion on the situation Ed. As always, great work!
12 May 2024 19:18:16
G8 ignoring the 'short term'. That’s means now g8 lol.
11 May 2024 11:15:10
Question for the Ed, s
Whats your thoughts on Fabregas as a manager so far, huge fan favourite at chelsea a real gem of a player, great to see him doing well as a coach, he was 1 of those players who u always felt knew were d ball was going before he even took a touch.
{Ed002's Note - He hasn't had a coaching career yet. A few months as the coach of a second tier Italian youth team and four or five games as a caretaker which he had to leave as he did not have the appropriate coaching qualifications. And he is a real jerk.}
11 May 2024 22:48:56
lol thanks ed I always assumed Fabregas was a likeable guy, but guess we only see the great passes and good side of him on tv😂 thanks for the insight do,
How do you think the project is going now at CFC, might be nieive but it does seem like they are finally settling as a team and learning from mistakes and of course getting big players back like james helps the cause, Do you think enzo gets near the midfield on current showing last few games?
Overall do you think the season has been reasonably successfull?
If u asked any chelsea fan pre season, cup final, semi final and 6th place they would of bit your hand off I think win there last 2 games and it sets us up really well to progress into a stronger season next year and maybe add 1 or 2 more experienced players also to help.
{Ed002's Note - Enzo Fernandez is out injured for the rest of the season. By the time he returns there will have been changes in midfield. The season has not been successful as the side have failed to qualify for the Champions League.}
11 May 2024 08:28:55
Ed002, which of these transfers are unlikely to happen for Chelsea?
ST - Benjamin Sesko
LW - Chris Fuhrich
AM - Georgiy Sudakov
LB - Milos Kerkez/ Bradley Locko
CB - Tosin Adarabioyo
GK - Marcin Bulka.
{Ed002's Note - What sort of question is that?}
11 May 2024 10:27:07
As in, you mentioned Sudakov as the primary target to replace Gallagher.
Are the other players also being looked at other positions?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea has lists of options for the various positions they are looking to recruit for. Some of these players are included and others are not.}
11 May 2024 04:29:30
Hey Ed any truth in the chelsea x air Jordan sponsorship?
{Ed002's Note - Nike provide Chelsea shirts.}
