Surely Maresca wins Manager of the month for September? I like his hands on approach, his confidence, his honesty and his ruthlessness. He has taken this young group of players to another level. Big shout out yet again to the sporting directors for identifying so many brilliant young players as well. Awesome recruitment.

West side I agree our attack and midfield are shing at the moment but yesterday we were helped by the outrageous Brighton high line.
When we talk about our defence that was all over the place, that is a different matter and don't get me started on Sanches. Yes he makes good saves but his howlers, wow.
If we had a top class GK, who knows what we might accomplish.

Our forward players, as a group, are the best in premier league Bill. Moises is unbelievably good in midfield and at just 22 will only get better. Enzo is so often the unsung hero, he controls the tempo, finds the passes and gels it all together. The minute he went off some control was lost. Lavia needs to stay fit but has it all and Viega reminds me of Obi Mikel, a beast of a presence who can lock things up.
You are right about our need for a top top keeper. Will Sanchez be the answer? I have my doubts. The rest of the back 4 will gel in time but I have said before I would like a top quality CB alongside Levi. Will Fofana or Tosin develop into that? Will the young lad coming in from Argentina be the answer? either way we are just 2 players from being right at the top of the top table alongside City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Agree re it is the defence that still needs some attention WSOTS and had gthought Tosin may be a better bet than Fofana at being calm better positioned CB though Fofana does have pace and aerial ability. The keeper question seemingly not solved either despit Sanchez pleasantly surpising us in several earlier EPL games.
Perhaps none of goalies on our books - and we hava a bagful - good enough though Petrovich did seem to steady the ship at end of last season and then many hoped that Jorgensen might be the answer. But he has been second pick thus far and perhaps Maresca and staff still hope to bring someone better in to challenge him unles Jorgensen can show worldie ability in cup games.
So question is who would we pick if replacing Sanchez as starter for next EPL game? Or does Maresca stick with him for now? Has Jorgensen done enough in cup games to merit Maresca trust in him?

Stick with him for now as he has played well this season. He has deserved that. Another horror show though and he will surely be replaced. Are we looking at any more keepers ED02?
{Ed002's Note - Chelsea will continue to look at options but right now a GK is not a priority.}

Thankyou ED02. Who would your first choice GK be?
{Ed002's Note - I would not make any change at this time.}
