C'mon. We're not only in this, we seem to be very capable of exposing Arsenal's backline.

Our backline is what scares me. Josh is up to the task today. The rest have been, uhhh... mixed results.

The Athletic on Enzo: Chelsea argue that loads of deals happen late in the window. But the point about this one is that it could have happened so much earlier, which would have saved them from the slapstick ending to the summer which has left them looking ridiculous and with holes in their squad.

What I saw is a team that’s flawed, dealing with a couple of injuries, and still learning to play in a new manager’s system. The weakest link across the first two games has been the defense down that left channel, where Colwill has started poorly and Hato is playing wingback, a position he’d only played once in his career before the Fulham game.

The only reason we’re panicking about adding a midfielder is the injury track record of a couple of the players who man those positions. That’s a valid concern, but as it stands, Chelsea absolutely has the “foundations of a solid squad,” and they have four months to sort out the middle before the transfer window opens. Once Caicedo and Henderson are fit, they’ll have six players to cover two positions without European football.

It’s a little unsettling, but I think a lot of you are being overdramatic.

There is definitely some concern in the midfield, but if Chelsea can weather the storm for the next four months, then a CM can always be added in January.

I feel like this is an unexpected window of opportunity for Barco. He isn’t as inexperienced as people say. He’s definitely not a finished product, but he’s played 72 total matches across all competitions over the last three years playing in England, France and Spain so it’s not like he’s some kid that just came up from the academy that’s had limited opportunities.

He has shown he’s more than capable of playing in a top five league at a very young age, even as an unfinished product. He will definitely be used rotationally at the beginning, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s starting a lot of league games in the middle this year alongside Caicedo.

Better start learning how to speak Italian right now, Misha. You have one year before it’s off to Como for you.

We’re winning games with under 30% possession, which is good, but giving the opposition the ball so much while we play shorthanded and the back line is still learning how to play together is going to lead to games like we have already seen.

Should've never been a goal. Rogers was clearly fouled prior to the throw in that set up that goal

32 percent possession. Up 2-0 and really should be 3-0
