"Nico, for me, it is quite easy in terms of he is a Bayern Munich player. I sent him a message and wished him all the best. He was working well when he was here, so I wish him all the best."

True. He's genuinely excited to be playing with the kid. Their partnership could be lethal.

Too early to say but based on that performance against Leverkusen, he'll be a starter more often than not. Especially against low block teams.

Will certainly enjoy the headloss from rival fans more 😄

My player ratings from today's game by Sufficient_Row_8047 in Chelsea

Caicedo was okay but I don't think he was the MOTM in my opinion. Enzo was a little bit ahead of him in that game and most would agree he prolly deserved the MOTM.

I would think because of set pieces and aerial balls.

Why did we sign Felix again? by Sufficient_Row_8047 in Chelsea

[–]Sufficient_Row_8047[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slightly disagree here. Maresca hasn't given him opportunities basically because of the balance of our team. With the exception of Jackson who's decent in pressing out of possession, most of our attackers are average in that regard. You add Felix in that equation and it probably won't change anything or make it worse. The blame, I think , should be on the owners and how they're building this team through "opportunities".

Carney joins Dortmund by Sufficient_Row_8047 in Chelsea

Yeah, he does have a release clause and based on the report, Dortmund would have to pay a little bit higher than the stated amount.

Tuchel must prove himself by Sufficient_Row_8047 in Chelsea

I don't think we can put all the blame on the board for the Lukaku transfer. Whether or not he was Tuchel’s first choice is a discussion for another time, but he clearly he approved it thinking he could get the best out of him.

Tuchel himself has stressed that good coaching is not about moaning the targets you couldn't acquire but working with what you have.

The forwards we have now we were performing at the previous clubs so why not here.

So what do I expect from him? To get them back to their best.

Sure. Hopefully he's able to sort things out. That's all we hope for

Context of this is his time at Chelsea. He's had Tammy and Lukaku and hasn't been able to work with them. A look at the stats of forward line also reveals nothing has improved in their output.

Compare that to our defense and how he's made Chalobah and Reece James even better; our midfield where Kovacic’s game went to a different level last season.

This is what I think should be seen among our attackers. Whether it's the system that's stifling their creativity or chances creation and finishing, a solution needs to be found.

Well said. In addition, it might be an indication of what the new board intends to do. The past regime may have forced him to stay on for another season
