Which former Chelsea player would you add to the current team, and why? 🤔
You can choose anyone!
michaelevery062h ago
John Terry
gomatz773h ago
I would always want Frank back to the Bridge. But for us now we need Terry like desperately in defence
philchristie19556h ago
Probably Hazard for his creativity and ability to open defences (Estevao take note). Otherwise Frank for his goal scoring from midfield or Drogs who could virtually guarantee would cause defences massive issues

Who is the most underrated Chelsea player of the Premier League era, and why? 👀

Marcus Alonso

codedrichie1d ago
Cus he's the best penalty taker for me back then...
kyle.dimond1d ago
I feel like Azpi is always named in lists like this so not sure he qualifies. Ivanovic however, that’s a pick.
What will be ManCity fate as regarded to the 115 charges levied on the team?
ronniemcmahon664d ago
Expulsion i hope

You can have TWO Man City players, who are you picking and why? 👀
Imagine if Man City actually get relegated 😳
philchristie19556h ago
Don't think you could turn down Haaland as he is a goalscoring machine and personally I like Cherki

What do you make of the criticism Cole Palmer has faced since withdrawing from the England squad?
Rio Ferdinand is still a fan!
djreal88882d ago
Nobody in England care to know how he felt when he was left out of World Cup Squards. The Coach claimed that are better options in his place. Where are those options now? He should go for those options

[DELETED] Estêvão should be arranged to play more, otherwise once Neto is injured, there will be no player on the right wing.
ronniemcmahon665d ago
Quenda can play right wingback,easily

Chelsea signed more experienced players this summer to get SERIOUS! What impact has it made on the team so far? 🤔
matteo358913d ago
Welbeck is a great striker, strong and has a good shooting level. With his strength, although he is 35 years old, he is still the absolute main force in the middle of the Premier League.But this is Chelsea, and he can only accept rotation or substitutes.

Our Chelsea player ratings for the season so far - tell us who's impressed you most, and least? 👀
clemhikwa6d ago
Levi Colwill, Emi Martin's and the coach have been below par so far. Everyone else is pulling their weight
antonymmartin848d ago
Cole Palmer has been magnificent but I love watching Joao Pedro, a proper striker, one of the best in the PL if not Europe

adnan.riaz9d ago
Cole Palmer was class. If we didn’t have Bruno at Man Utd, I would take him all day long.

One Chelsea fan believes that it has been a terrible start to the season and that a shock relegation is on the cards if things don't improve 😱 What do you make of that?
Surely it's not that bad?!

How would you rate Xabi Alonso's first weeks at Stamford Bridge?
What has worked, and what needs improving? 🤔
delhyde15d ago
Poor No man marking leaves the opposition with more space and time for accurate passing and scoring opprtunities, hense Chelsea's 10 goals scored 12 goals conceded and less talented players playing as better teams.

What should Xabi Alonso do with Levi Colwill after the international break?
hanyamakoni310d ago
Indeed Colwill is operated.Sell him yesterday.
stevenbaker845511d ago
Sell him he's way overated
lauriemann4611d ago
Rest him he is not a captain either he is so overrated
[DELETED] Arsenal are very strong, much stronger than us, and I suspect they deliberately lost a game to encourage us.You know, Arteta and Alonso are good friends.

luckilistic114d ago
Lol 😆 you are funny.

What is Todd Boehly's Chelsea legacy? 🤔
philchristie195512d ago
Not good. Wanted to be seen as the main man without any experience. Saw a model in Brighton that he tried to emulate but the decision making let him down badly. At least we now have a single leader so decisions aren't always contested which leads to issues
smifferz8116d ago
Todd Boehly would've been better off buying out Clearlake. I wouldn't have minded that. Egbhali hasn't covered himself in glory at all. Don't trust that man. Todd tried to do right by the fans and was undermined by Egbhali and co at every turn..
olusegunjoshua1916d ago
If his legacy of all star are Disasi, Gittens, Hato, Guiu etc then he's not good in football administration.

Chelsea fans, how do you feel about Enzo Fernandez's exit after his bright display in the Manchester derby?
jimbarryjb66d ago
I wonder how he will perform in Div 2 next season???

It's time to talk about our midfield situation… who's getting your vote?
olayiwoladavid1234d ago
Both Alex and Camara would have good signing the team will just balance and if possible Alonso can try out 4/4/2 sometimes
kevinrichy286d ago
Camara is what Chelsea needs

DISCUSS: It’s time for Xabi Alonso to start Valentin Barco…

Mauricio Pochettino thinks Chelsea should be STRIPPED of the 2016/17 PL title
Has he got a point, or is he talking rubbish?
dfrenchman20d ago
Winning titles / trophies becomes part of any clubs history, legacy. Does he know you cant change history. learn from it and start changing things if you want Tottenham to win the league.....oneday.
chrisbergin6420d ago
If clubs break the rules Tey should be punished regardless of who they are.
philbrown5520d ago
Can't recall exact details of Chelsea's transgressions, but titles should be taken away where an advantage has been gained to win titles by flouting the financial rules. Manchester City are of course the principal culprits. I look forward to them having those titles removed, and also suffering, let's say, three relegations and a 10 year ban from Europe.

Let's settle this, Chelsea are better off with Reece James at right-back... 🤔
Do you prefer James in midfield or at right-back - and why?
patrickwalton8421d ago
Right back is better than midfield definitely

ph874009523d ago
😂😂😂😂 best right back in the world JT you need your eyes checked
timothyosujison23d ago
Better off in right back & especially as gusto doesn't support attack very well , James should be utilised there

How can Xabi Alonso get Estevao Willian into the side? 🤔
The Brazilian has seen very little action under his new manager...
philchristie19556h ago
Don't think he should yet as he still does not look comfortable with the pace and physicality of the EPL, regardless of the reviews he gets for Brazil
chelseafc.eurochamps9d ago
Talent always shines through cfc4ever 💙💙💙
kayshining13d ago
I believe it's by rotating his formation with 3:4:3/3:4:2:1 and 4:2:3:1 but must be using each player in his best/normal position(s) often
Enzo is out and am happy but we need a very good replacement B4 deal was done
jackdrury27d ago
Who would you go for? Alex Scott is the standout option for me
oppletters30d ago
The 3-4-2-1 can be perfect going forward

oppletters30d ago
Absolutely!

With Enzo Fernandez gone and Lamine Camara staying at Monaco, who should partner Moises Caicedo in midfield this season?
kayshining5d ago
Any of the other 3 players except Reece James Reece James MUST always play as a RCB or RWB Xabi Alonso SHOULD change his formation to 4:2:3:1
kayshining5d ago

Partner Henderson and Caicedo then play James on his eight back position
[DELETED] New midfielders,the club must get 2 of kone,camara or scott and gibbs white
jamesshearman2333d ago
Camara it is! Very happy with that. 2 signings would’ve been overdoing it in my opinion

The Enzo Fernandez saga is over! What do you make of this deal?
A big fee, but not much time to get something done ourselves...
dfrenchman20d ago
Good for business ! we obviously had to cash in somewhere. Cant satisfy everyone. Bought players like Morgen to keep the fans happy. No point in finding a replacement so quick after such a huge profit. So we have to be happy with the sub-par defenders we have. Its a win win situation for fans, club and Blueco. Its all part of the narrative. marquee signings
jamesgmcmurray24d ago
It is a good thing he went to city it's like teacher pet when they walked out on Chelsea when it gets tough they will walk out on city
camerondesc124d ago
Insanely overpriced. But I suppose that is the state of the market these days
Honestly, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for Chelsea to have Caicedo, Lavia, Koné and Camara. That would give them a strong, young and highly competitive midfield for the future. 🔵

We have just hours to go for the transfer market to close. The engine house of CFC must be working. Something must be in the works and seriously too. We await a great news!!. Relax guys!!.
gadarome33d ago
It became very nonsensical and repulsive to see Enzo so brazenly act arrogantly and rebelliously in his quest to leave: first romanced with Real Madrid and then Mancity!. Good thing is that Chelsea got its money back!. Period!!. There are great, level-headed midfielders out there very eager to show their skills. Chelsea should act smartly and quickly for one

What have you made of Chelsea's style of play under Xabi Alonso? ⚽️
joelasinguza37832d ago
Possession also matters a lot, if ur having goals it's one way of defending them other than being pressed creating pressure on defenders until they make mistakes an example of Brighton, now imagine ur playing city.
sucinahooks32d ago
Brilliant free flowing attacking football, proves possession doesn't win matches and you don't need 30 passes just to get to the halfway line. I have saved some Maresca videos for when I can't sleep at night.

ALONZO'S STYLE OF PLAY SUITS CHELSEA, THOUGH ITS 3 GAMES DOWN BUT THE. PLAYERS SEEM TO BE ENJOYING IT ALREADY... THERE'S A FREEDOM ABOUT THE WAY THE PLAY, ESPECIALLY FOR PALMER...WITH TIME, THE TEAM WILL BECOME MORE COMPACT AND CREATIVE AND DEVASTATING...

Under the circumstances I feel a good result. Less questions than answers, something we've not had in recent seasons. Good performances from Martinez, Lacroix, Lavia and that front 3. ?'s for Fofana and Neto. I see Gusto is getting bad press. Think what he had to do. In an unusual position having to cover the aforementioned
badger.prodder34d ago
Going forward he was okay, but it's the defensive side of his game whoch needs working on. Should he have tracked back for Brighton's first goal.
jamesshearman2334d ago
I thought Neto was very good. Took his goal well and actually went past a few players for a change
What did you make of Emi Martinez's debut? Is he the missing piece for Chelsea to win the league?
billy2hats32d ago
Chelsea have won two league fixtures out of two, so far this season. If this was last season, they would be down below with Spurs, tunneling to Australia.
creativekaddychrist33d ago
MATINEZ SAVED CHELSEA FROM THE EMBARASSMENT WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN WITH SANCHEZ IN GOAL. MARTINEZ IS BOLD, AND CAN FRUSTRATE OPPENTS WITH HIS ANTICS...HIS COMING IS TIMELY.

richaligy34d ago
Comes with lots of experience. Good signing. 👍🏽
lgonz8749535d ago
Martinez is better than Sanchez, but Chelsea defensive problems are more than the goalkeeper. Today, Chelsea defeated Brigton & Hove, but they still conceded 3 goals. You can't beat the likes of Arsenal and Man City playing defense like that. Look as how Spain won the World Cup with a below average goalkeeper.
matteo3589136d ago
