Some posters on here did nothing but moan about Pulisic and Havertz, look how well they are now doing. They moaned about RLC and Jorginho, look how well they are both doing. They now moan about this player and that player on here. And when those players move on and the next ones come in the whole cycle will start again. Not everyone on here but certainly 2 or 3.

Normally I agree with you in lockstep G8, but have to push back on this.

Pulisic for AC Milan: 45 games, 13 goals, 8 assists in 3168 mins.
Pulisic for Chelsea (21/ 22): 38 games, 8 goals, 5 assists in 2208 mins. No marked improvement, he's just stayed fit compared to last season.

Havertz for Arsenal: 47 games, 12 goals, 5 assists in 3467 mins.
Havertz for Chelsea: 47 games, 9 goals, 1 assist in 3256 mins. No marked improvement, but he's playing in a much better team.

No one was begging for RLC to be sold as far as I recall. Can you point to Jorginho playing better this season than he did for Chelsea? Is he playing any better for Arsenal than Enzo is for Chelsea?

G8, they had a right to moan…. those players never lived up to the hype for us, they had plenty of chances but failed.

Time for people to start accepting the reality that half of this squad will not live up to the hype for us and some will, some already have.

Some players will be successful at Chelsea and some will not. It will always be that way.

I think it was Ed001 who said that sites get busier after a defeat than a win.

I wouldn’t have a clue statistically but maybe more people just like to moan. I certainly “enjoy” the occasional moan!

I had no issues with the sale of Havertz or Jorginho. and btw I didn’t think Havertz was all that great last night, (he didn’t need to be) . Havertz was and is what he was with Chelsea, functional. The very basics of the team is not right, that being the spine. GK, CB, CB, CM, CF. These guys need to be the very top, you can buy and slot in players at the £30-£40m range roundabout that, but that is where your big expenditure should be concentrated . I’m neutral on Poch, but he doesn’t do himself any favours. Unless injuries had a hand last night, Silva and Chalobah were the obvious CBs, that would have helped Gilchrist. Didn’t get the criticism around CG? Arsenal couldn’t get the ball off him, Caicedo and Enzo were alright on the ball but were too easily bypassed without it, Jackson, Murdyke, Madueke, Sterling, I think Jackson might cut it, but no issues if they can find buyers for all of them. Big summer coming up. Go on Chels.

Havertz with 1 goal more than flop Jackson and cost twice as much, lol.

Havertz 33 games 11 goals 4 assists
Jackson 29 games 10 goals 4 assists

But yeah Havertz is the second coming, ballon d’or incoming,

I think I mentioned that a wag at the Everton game said that Palmer has now scored more goals than Havertz did in his entire Chelsea career.
