As I said I am not going to rant if we don't do our job today. I think we will get top four this season. I just think you have to be honest that this approach will need refining to compete with the elite in a sustained way.

I believe it will only take a couple more windows at most IF our best young players continue to improve and progress like we hope and the team grows together/we keep hold of them.

Not saying we will win the league in a couple of windows but we will be challenging.

I’d also like it if we could avoid this crippling injuries each season

I agree but we shouldn't be one Colwill injury away from going to sheite

True. He’s not even that good

Tbf nobody is saying that though. We're all hoping for success and we've already had a taste of it winning the World Cup. But only time will tell whether this youth heavy approach does breed success. Especially in the PL.

I think we were super unlucky not to walk away with all three points at Brentford though.

You too?

Colwill is top drawer I think. And was improving all the time although obviously he won't have that opportunity this season.

I do think we're nuts not bringing in another CB this season but that's a decision made by our two sporting directors.

Yeah you'll just as easily find the fans who think that we're doomed as much as those that think everything is great on socials lol. I also steer well clear for that reason

Generally speaking we are quite flip floppy when it comes to Clearlake yeah.

Interestingly not on this forum though. Everyone's positions seemed to be established early & no-one I can think of has outright turned. Clearly we're the best of Chelsea's fandom in here

Estevao starts

Utd are fked

#Chelsea XI to face Manchester United: Sanchez, James (c), Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Estevao, Palmer, Neto, Joao Pedro

Bench: Jorgensen, Gusto, Tosin, Hato, Santos, Garnacho, Gittens, George, Guiu
