I’m sure this Estevao performance will leave people with completely normal expectations for an 18 year old.

But Jesus he looks good.

This Chelsea side has quietly become physically formidable. Not even just strength, but pace, aggression, intensity, the lot.

I find it somewhat bizarre to go through the ‘rough’ stage of Madueke’s development and bring him to the point where he looks like he could kick on, only to sell him for around the same fee as we are paying for Gittens. Who needs to go through the ‘rough’ stage of development.

Glad Partey is finally getting what’s coming to him, and I hope his victims can finally find some peace.

Heads should roll at Arsenal. Hard to imagine a way this could have been handled worse. Especially those safeguarding officers who blocked Partey’s victim on social media.

I don’t know how fit Guiu is, but we need someone who at least resembles a striker out there.

Neto looks completely lost.

3 out of 3 kits launched without a main sponsor under this ownership.

“Not terribly well managed on the football, sporting or promotional side” was it?

Noni going ballistic at George for shooting over the bar and not passing.

30 seconds later, he does the exact same thing himself.

The single only reason I miss Twitter is that all my takes about how bad Maresca would be are on there and not here.

Genuinely hilarious that the Sporting Directors have no one else to blame for this managerial appointment.

Looking forward to how they try to spin Enzo’s sacking in May.

Well. This has been bad hasn’t it.

You just knew Palmer was never scoring that. Nothing quite going for him at the minute

Hudson-Odoi continues to be better than all of our £250m worth of wingers.

Sold for £3m.

Hope we don’t get a pen tonight in some ways. Palmer is definitely seeing it saved if we do at this rate.

Preserve his 100% record.

Neto leading the line really nicely tonight in fairness to him. His willingness to run constantly is what we desperately need when Jackson is out.

Great movement for his goal there.

There is still an alternate reality where we make him feel valuable and play him and Palmer as 10s behind Jackson with Gusto/James and Chilwell/Maatsen as wing backs. I don’t think we’d be any worse off

I could have even made some sense (still very little) over the signing of Felix.

Yeah, like I fully understand why he’s irritated. He’s been completely mismanaged in every sense.

But, you know, at least look like you’re trying.

Nkunku is currently really hard done by and also doing nothing to improve the situation.

He’s not a lone CF, we know that, he knows that, everyone knows that. But my god, when you get the chance to play, at least try and show something.

His head hasn’t been at Chelsea this season.

Not sure I’ve seen a player so visibly checked out before (aside from the whole squad at the end of 22/23)

That’s a truly incredible mistake from Verbruggen

What do we actually do if Cucu gets injured now? Just plug in Gusto out of position at LB?

We all know we won’t rely on an academy player so we feel incredibly light there.

Credit to Neto, he’s been largely poor on blue so far, but he’s attacked this game since coming on and has made a huge difference

If you can’t tell whether it’s touched Guiu’s head after 20 replays then just give the goal ffs.

Very much got away with one earlier didn’t he. Can’t be claiming a foul on this one. Really poor

Truly naive today. Both with and without the ball.

That was really poor from Trev too unfortunately to just be blind sided by the Foden movement.

That is utterly unforgivable from Sanchez.

That’s not a momentary lapse in catching or saving, that is just fucking awful.

The idea that you balance a full time job, with the incredibly consistent academy updates, and still find time to work out is remarkable to me. Fair play.

Another display from him where comfortably his best contribution is his off ball movement to make room for others.

Other than that, he is anonymous at best.

Really pulled that shirt on tonight with a point to prove. Completely carried the defensive line at times.

Madueke is so funny.

I really do rate him, I just can’t decide whether his comical selfishness at times is a sign of a player who will go far, or one that won’t quite make it at the top.

We remain so fragile mentally.

The slightest hardship and we completely lose our way.

Glad it at least came before the break so we can try and adjust things this time.
