I love to see how well Pulisic has been playing. When he's healthy he is unstoppable!

Just wish our squad was fully available and fully fit... We really did look old and tired today, much like last time vs City. Just outmatched physically and unable to play our game. If we had Carvajal or Vasquez available and Valverde providing some pace and energy higher up, it would have been a better contest.

Would have been happy to put money down under better circumstances, but it is what it is. Chelsea has been impressive under Tuchel. Deserved to go through by a larger margin than it was, to be honest. Please beat City and save us some face...

Yes it will but they've got a ton of momentum on their side. BTW, Chelsea beat Man City the last time they met not long ago.
Should be a great game though. Two Premier League teams playing for the Euro championship is impressive no matter what.

What a difference a good manager makes (Thomas Tuchel) will be the first one to take two different teams back-to-back to the Champions League finals. Last year he took PSG but lost. Hopefully he'll turn it around this time!

Yeah Chelsea missed so many opportunities and should've scored more goals but I'll take it. The depth of Chelsea is incredible and Tuchel has done a great job balancing the different egos on that team. A lot of good young players coming through their academy, especially Mason Mount. He and Pulisic play well together.

I do hope they beat Man City for sure!!

I especially like the fact Pulisic is the first American male to take part in the Champions League final. He scored an incredible goal in the 1st leg and had a sweet assist in today's 2nd leg against Real Madrid. He's in good form right now! I can't wait for that Final!

#10 Christian Pulisic (USA) and #19 Mason Mount (England) after scoring the final goal. I have a feeling these two guys have a bright future playing together on the pitch.

CHELSEA DOES IT AGAIN!! They beat Man City for the second straight time and they did it in their yard. They will meet one more time in the UEFA Champions League Final and I can't wait.

Thomas Tuchel is the man!

glad to see some more Chelsea supporters here! I am a big fan of TT and what he has done since taking over for Lampard, I never thought a manager could make that much of a difference but just looking out how composed our final 3rd is now speaks volumes.

Not enough respect has been put on Mount and Pulisic they have been playing fantastic, the same can be said about Havertz and Werner. I wonder how the season for Havertz would have looked had he not gotten covid at the beginning of the season. And I cant wait until Werner starts getting his confidence back and putting the ball in the net! His work ethic is amazing and he is setting up chances every game!

We better demolish Arsenal today!

Well that was a total disaster! I can't believe Chelsea lost to Arsenal. What a joke that was. Complete domination of possession and that idiot Jorginho screwed them with that awful back pass. They could've gotten back to 3rd place in the PL but now they are hanging on to 4th for now.

This was a huge opportunity that we have wasted! Jorghino is overrated in my mind, never moves the ball forward. I honestly wonder if we were resting players for the FA cup final.

Yes, Thomas Tuchel blamed himself for this outcome. He rested some key players, but that's not a good excuse. Chelsea is stacked with very good players and they just couldn't close this one. Here's a perfect example of where Chelsea actually struggles. Their finishing. They outshot Arsenal 19-5 and yet had zero goals to show for it. Can't blame it on Werner this time, lol. Havertz had a golden opportunity and blew it.

But yeah, to your point they were resting players such as Kante, Rudiger and Mendy. This match should've been a 0-0 draw at worst. Oh well, they still control their destiny but they need to beat Leicester City next.

Yeah finishings has really been our issue, havertz could have walked around Leno but skied it.
And you are right our bench is amazing and there is no excuse. I wonder if the rumors of going after Lukaku are true. We need a prolific goal scorer. I know Haaland was on the radar but that price tag is ridiculous!

They absolutely need someone that can finish. It's pathetic watching Chelsea's forwards missing again and again. Throw someone like Ronaldo's caliber in there and that shit is hitting the back of the net pretty much EVERY time. I love the hustle of Werner but damn he can't finish if his life depended on it. Not sure if the Lukaku rumors are true but I'll be happy if they land a reliably consistent scorer.

Oh and by the way, I agree Jorginho is overrated. I just remembered who they really miss lately and that's Mateo Kovacic. The more I watch him play, the more I realize how much he has helped the midfield move forward effectively and with pace, especially lately. His passing is outstanding. It's a huge blow for Chelsea that he got injured but I hope he can return soon.

I should probably be rooting for Manchester United, since I am a very small minority owner. Not enough to score free passes at Old Trafford, though.....
