Handing The King over on Free transfer after the Long Todd Super contract. No Trend, No Trent

#AfterThought

We may lament about Todd and his team failing to get the players some of us personally desire, but it's really pleasing to hear how opponent fans tremble at the mention of Chelsea every time the players they are linked to are rumoured to also interest Chelsea.

Just like the way Tottenham are trembling now with Kudus.

It reminds me of a quote..

"I was crying that I don't have shoes, but I thanked God when I met a person without legs"

🚨🚨 “I can confirm here today Noni Madueke is OPEN to moving to Arsenal”

Talks ongoing with his camp. No bid yet to Chelsea.

To see Cancelo and Neves playing was a relief..

Now we hope for Neto too and only worry about the Central midfield

That’s Palmer’s 41st goal for Chelsea

First the trickery and now a hard foul on Colwill, does Estevao know who he's playing for in a few weeks?😂😂

2 yellow cards in 5 matches and you miss the Semi finals

What a stupid rule

#INGAME

We allowed them back into the game

What is this kid

On his weak foot from an impossible angle onto the crossbar an the post and in.

#INGAME

The amount of possession of Delap losses and his recovery is also crazy..

Chelsea scoring from individual brilliance, dominating the game and throwing it away. Typical

#INGAME

Now we just can't control the game

#INGAME

If this was what Ass-No needed to pay 60M, he has given us reasons to ask for 90M (if the chatters are true)

Great performance by Noni

#FULLTIME

Estevao has done well.

Without Caicedo, Reece and Lavia, we have been brilliant too. Santos has really tried. Both Pedros have been brilliant too

I just hope I didn't jinx Reece and Lavia with that Maresca post and their injuries

#BottomLine

Delap needs to work on his mobility. Pedro is a real threat to his position. JP link up play, ball holding and movement was top notch.

Honestly if it was Delap vs Jackson, I'd say he wouldn't have done much besides roughing people up to be the ultimate starter. He really needs to pull up his socks

#FeelingGood

But this Estevao Kiddo was hell bent on eliminating us... Without any shame whatsover

Andrey Santos completed 5 tackles against Palmeiras

Estevão has played 87 games for Palmeiras in the last 18 months.

31 goals ⚽️
17 assists 🅰️

70 starts, 17 sub appearances. Just under 6,000 minutes (5,979)

That’s a lot of game time at such a young age

JP could be bringing Delap physicality and Jackson's Work rate all Iced with his own flair and win mentality.

It was only a start, but it looked promising.
